Get PDFThis research aimed to examine the improvement of teachers’ abilities to integrate the project approach with multicultural education. A total of three female teachers from a kindergarten in the northeastern region of Thailand participated in this research. The research procedure began with the three teachers developing lesson plans. This was followed by each teacher teaching the lesson to their peers who played the role of learners in an early childhood classroom. The researchers utilized field notes as an instrument to collect data during the lesson plan workshop and peer teaching. Finally, the researchers used a conservation guide as another instrument to collect verbal data through reflections upon the workshop and peer teaching. The results revealed that teachers faced challenges in developing lesson plans including defining objectives, creating content maps, designing learning activities, and finding materials and resources. On top of that, the results regarding peer teaching indicated that teachers are not familiar with project approach thus they are facing difficulties in facilitating learning activities and classroom management. The overall results have contributed to the field of early childhood teacher professional development
Self-regulated learning of alternative learning system senior high school learners in flexible learning modality
Get PDFThe alternative learning system senior high school (ALS SHS) practiced flexible learning as its learning modality to give more opportunities and convenience making the program more inclusive and responsive to learners’ needs. It also ensures that learners adhere to instructional competence and self-regulated learning (SRL). However, there is a lack of evidence under the program about the dissection of SRL. Hence, this sequential explanatory mixed method research aimed to evaluate SRL vis-à-vis the weaknesses and challenges encountered by ALS SHS learners enrolled in one public senior high school (SHS) in the City of Meycauayan, Bulacan. The findings showed that most respondents were early and middle adults, female, and currently working and demonstrated an observable SRL. There is a significant difference in SRL among learners when the profile is considered. The challenges encountered are focused on strategic academic planning and goal setting, preparedness and awareness in SRL, and support groups. The proposed capacity-building program aimed to offset the challenges encountered and improve the SRL of ALS SHS learners. Furthermore, this study affirmed the goodness-of-fit between the context of the research and the theory of SRL in improving the SRL of ALS SHS learners

Assessing novice programmers’ perception of ChatGPT: performance, risk, decision-making, and intentions
Get PDFThis study explores the novice programmers’ intention to use chat generative pretrained transformer (ChatGPT) for programming tasks with emphasis on performance expectancy (PE), risk-reward appraisal (RRA), and decision-making (DM). Utilizing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and a sample of 413 novice programmers, the analysis demonstrates that higher PE of ChatGPT is positively correlated with improved DM in programming tasks. Novice programmers view ChatGPT as a tool that enhances their learning and skill development. Additionally, novice programmers that have a favorable RRA of ChatGPT tend to make more confident and effective decisions, acknowledging potential risks but recognizing that benefits such as quick problem-solving and learning new techniques outweigh these risks. Moreover, a positive perception of ChatGPT’s role in DM significantly increases the inclination to use the tool for programming tasks. These results highlight the critical roles of perceived capabilities, risk assessment, and positive DM experiences in promoting the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in programming education
Linguistic features of the writing competence of the alternative learning system students
Get PDFThis study examines the linguistic proficiency of the Philippines alternative learning system (ALS) learners, focusing on their writing skills. ALS offers flexible education through school-based and community-based modalities, using standard modules across various subjects. An assessment titled “The students’ greatest responsibility” showed that the linguistic development level (LDL) for two schools was “developing,” with a weighted mean score of 79%, indicating that basic writing skills are still being developed. Two additional schools had students at the “approaching proficiency” level, with mean scores of 81% and 82%, reflecting basic discourse competence. Identified errors reveal implications for the ALS curriculum: cognitive problems, such as difficulties in generating ideas and organizing thoughts, suggest a need for activities that enhance critical thinking and creativity. Graphomotor issues, including writing short sentences and slow writing, indicate potential motor skill difficulties affecting written expression. Problems with paragraph unity, including cohesion and coherence, highlight a need for better writing structure and organization. Addressing these issues through targeted curriculum interventions could improve students’ academic performance and confidence, enhancing their readiness for further education and employment
