No full textA Project Monitoring Study on the Improvement of Elementary Science Teacher\u27s Science Teaching Efficacy through a Flexible Online Training Course
No full textThe curricular revamp in the Philippine\u27s Basic Education aimed to improve the learning outcomes of Filipino Students. In science education, this revision in the curriculum posed a mismatch in the past teacher preparation and current basic education science education curriculum. As a response, a flexible training program was conducted to address this curriculum gap. This study investigated the improvement of science teaching efficacy utilizing rapid project monitoring through a pre-experimental research design. Standardized adopted questionnaires were utilized before and after the training program. At the end of the training program, teachers were found to have improved in all aspects of science teaching efficacy except in the personal science teaching efficacy, which indicates success in achieving the training objectives. In addition, all targeted concepts for science teaching efficacy were improved after the training. The results of this present work support the notion that professional development programs are potential ways to address curricular gaps in teacher and curriculum mismatch. It is recommended that further studies be conducted to examine science teachers\u27 experiences during the training program to understand how it contributes to the development of their science teaching efficacy.

No full textYouths\u27 Contribution to Household Welfare in Rural Areas
No full textRural households are faced with low purchasing power, poor food consumption, and poor general well-being. Youths are economically active, which could contribute to reducing these problems and improving rural development. However, the extent to which youths contribute to improving rural household welfare has gained little attention. Thus, this study assessed youths’ contributions to household welfare and the factors influencing their contributions to household welfare. Data were collected from 180 youths using a structured questionnaire and then subjected to descriptive and multiple regression statistical analysis. The findings revealed that youths contribute significantly to rural households’ welfare. The monthly income, access to credit, association membership, gender, age, and access to remittances are responsible for the level of youths’ contributions to household welfare. The challenges that prevent youths’ contribution to household welfare in rural areas were poor government support, poor credit facilities, unemployment, lack of access to business information and lack of training opportunities and vocational programmes. Government support to rural youths through the provision of grants and loans as start-up capital is needed to empower youths to contribute to their household welfare. Also, youths should be encouraged to go for vocational training to acquire a skill that could be a vehicle for a source of income.
