LEARNING IN THE WORKPLACE OF TEACHER EDUCATORS IN THE PHILIPPINES
No full textThis research was conceived to find out the learning constructs of teacher educators including what they learned in the workplace, the sources of learning and the factors that motivated teachers to learn. The study revealed that the workplace was a rich avenue for learning where teachers in higher education institutions learned the professional concepts and human relationship skills necessary for effective practice. The teacher educators learned best from self-reflection, printed materials and co-teachers. Other sources of learning were from in-service trainings, administrators and students. What and how teachers learned were influenced by their length of teaching experience. Extrinsic factors like salary, incentives and self-motivating factor like teacher’s commitment motivated the educators to learn
Flipped Classroom: Maximizing Face Time in Teaching and Learning
No full textThe focus of this quasi-experimental study was to assess the effectiveness of flipped classroom as a pedagogical strategy in teaching courses across disciplines. Specifically, the study looked into the performance of the two hundred thirty-eight (238) purposively chosen students in the conventional and flipped classes in the different courses such as Literature of the Philippines, Nursing Informatics and Field Study1. Furthermore, it also examined the students’ motivation and engagement level in different groups and the challenges in the implementation of a flipped classroom. Pre-test –Post-test design supported by qualitative data was used. Data were gathered using the validated questionnaires and interviews done with focus group discussion (FGD) and triangulation to crosscheck its trustworthiness. T-test and thematic analyses were utilized in analyzing the data. Results revealed that students performed better in their flipped classes across disciplines. They were highly motivated and engaged in their respective classes for they can study the lessons at their own pace, time and place. Scaffolding for instructional delivery through technology like videos, online modules, and activities prepared by the professors provided students the avenue to maximize learning. Internet access and slow connection made the flipped classes difficult for professors and students. Despite the limitation of the educational technology to engage learners, flipped classroom was effective in maximizing face time in teaching and learning across the three (3) courses and three (3) different programs. Thus, flipping classes for blended learning for instructional delivery was innovatively responsive in this 21st century
Inclusive Education for the Hearing Impaired of Cebu Normal University
No full textThis research looked into the inclusive education program of the College of Teacher Education of Cebu Normal University (CNU). Factors like IQ, academic achi��vement, and teaching potential of the hearing impaired students were established. Views/perceptions on mainstreaming and problems met in the implementation were considered as basis for policy directions. The study revealed that most of the hearing impaired students had low intelligence quotients. Their potential for teaching was very low . On the preparation of teachers handling the hearing impaired, it was found out that most teachers were doctoral and masters degree holders but they lacked special training in handling the mainstreamed class. On views on the program, the administrators, students and parents involved in inclusive education at CNU believed that the program was laudable and they fully supported it. The teachers perceived the program as responsive to the needs of special students. However, some teachers were not supportive of the program. Problems like lack of more responsive curricular offerings , academic achievement and teacher capability have to be addressed to improve program implementation
Challenging Popular Assumptions on Teacher Education
No full textThe Revised Policies and Standards for the Undergraduate Teacher Education Curriculum, articulated in CHED Memorandum Order No. 30 (CMO 30) in 2004, marks a significant curriculum reform for teacher education in the Philippines. This paper examines the ideas and assumptions behind the reform policies articulated in CMO 30, explores the theoretical basis of these assumptions within the framework of levels of curriculum representation, and validates these assumptions from the perspective of teacher educators and students in two selected teacher education institutions in Cebu City. Using a researcher-made five-point scale, the respondents assessed a set of pre-specified assumptions on the revised teacher education curriculum with regard to the extent to which these assumptions hold in their teaching-learning environments. Results showed that the assumptions that had the highest perception ratings among teacher educators and students revolved around the assessment of entry competence of teacher education students; strengthening the connections between theory and teaching practice through the Experiential Learning Courses; the use of the National Competency- Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) as basis for teaching practice; and the integration of theoretical principles, concepts and methods in professional education courses. To validate these assumptions, respondents also assessed their teaching-learning environments using a 7-point semantic differential based on bipolar characteristics of conventional and constructivist learning environments in terms of the nature of classes, the role of teachers and students, learning modes, instructional emphasis and assessment of student learning. Results showed that teacher educators perceived their teaching-learning environment as moving towards the constructivist while students perceived their environment as a mix of conventional and constructivist. From the results, implications and challenges for curriculum implementation and research are drawn as basis for recommending concrete actions towards the delivery of teacher education programs based on reform efforts anchored on evidence from research
Are they in or out? Exploring pre-service teachers’ knowledge, perceptions, and experiences regarding artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching and learning
No full textIntroductionArtificial Intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize the teaching and learning process. This study aimed to gather data on pre-service teachers’ perceived knowledge, perceptions, and experiences in utilizing AI in education, such as ChatGPT, Quillbot, and Grammarly.MethodsThis mixed-method study involved 515 participants from state universities in Central Visayas, Philippines, selected via stratified random sampling. Quantitative data were collected through a survey, while qualitative insights were gathered from focus group discussions and analyzed using thematic analysis.Results and discussionResults showed that pre-service teachers’ perceptions of AI revealed cautious optimism, with concerns about its limitations in handling complex tasks, bias, lack of originality, and the need for human oversight. They also recognized issues of factual inaccuracies, reliance on outdated data, and lack of contextual understanding, indicating a need for further education on AI’s ethical and practical use. Four themes emerged from the qualitative data: the role of AI in teaching and learning; challenges and ethical implications; capacity training for AI integration; and the link between AI tools and critical thinking.ConclusionIn conclusion, pre-service teachers recognize AI’s limitations and emphasize the importance of training for its responsible and effective use.RecommendationIt is recommended that AI use be integrated into the teacher education curriculum to prepare teachers for ethical and meaningful application in classrooms

The Hematopoietic Transcription Factors RUNX1 and ERG Prevent AML1-ETO Oncogene Overexpression and Onset of the Apoptosis Program in t(8;21) AMLs

163345.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)The t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-associated oncoprotein AML1-ETO disrupts normal hematopoietic differentiation. Here, we have investigated its effects on the transcriptome and epigenome in t(8,21) patient cells. AML1-ETO binding was found at promoter regions of active genes with high levels of histone acetylation but also at distal elements characterized by low acetylation levels and binding of the hematopoietic transcription factors LYL1 and LMO2. In contrast, ERG, FLI1, TAL1, and RUNX1 bind at all AML1-ETO-occupied regulatory regions, including those of the AML1-ETO gene itself, suggesting their involvement in regulating AML1-ETO expression levels. While expression of AML1-ETO in myeloid differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) induces leukemic characteristics, overexpression increases cell death. We find that expression of wild-type transcription factors RUNX1 and ERG in AML is required to prevent this oncogene overexpression. Together our results show that the interplay of the epigenome and transcription factors prevents apoptosis in t(8;21) AML cells
Teaching and Learning Continuity Amid and Beyond the Pandemic
No full textThe study explored the challenges and issues in teaching and learning continuity of public higher education in the Philippines as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employed the exploratory mixed-method triangulation design and analyzed the data gathered from 3, 989 respondents composed of students and faculty members. It was found out that during school lockdowns, the teachers made adjustments in teaching and learning designs guided by the policies implemented by the institution. Most of the students had difficulty complying with the learning activities and requirements due to limited or no internet connectivity. Emerging themes were identified from the qualitative responses to include the trajectory for flexible learning delivery, the role of technology, the teaching and learning environment, and the prioritization of safety and security. Scenario analysis provided the contextual basis for strategic actions amid and beyond the pandemic. To ensure teaching and learning continuity, it is concluded that higher education institutions have to migrate to flexible teaching and learning modality recalibrate the curriculum, capacitate the faculty, upgrade the infrastructure, implement a strategic plan and assess all aspects of the plan
Lope de Vega como escritor cortesano : La Filomena (1621) y La Circe (1624) a estudio
No full text, Doctorat, Université de Neuchâtel, Faculté des lettres et sciences humaines, Institut de langues et littératures hispaniquesLa trajectoire lyrique de Lope de Vega a été étudiée au travers des différents masques auctorials que le poète adopte selon les époques et intérêts. Fidèle au surnom par lequel il fut connu durant sa vie, notre Phénix se réinvente et se succède à lui-même : il fut poète de recueils de romances, poète de cancioneros pétrarquistes, poète sacré, de cour, et même burlesque. Parmi tous ces « je » lyriques, le Lope de cour ou culto n’a pas reçu l’attention qu’il mérite, étant donné que même les oeuvres majeures de cette étape ne bénéficient pas d’éditions critiques actualisées. Nous parlons donc d’un poète qui, à partir de 1621, suite à l’accession au trône de Felipe IV, met un pied dans le marché de l’édition de l’époque avec deux oeuvres qu’il est difficile de classer dans la taxonomie générique : La Filomena (1621) et La Circe (1624). S’agit-il de simples prosimètres ? De recueils de poésie de cour ? Avec elles, Lope entre dans des sous-genres littéraires qu’il a peu fréquentés, comme la fable mythologique ou le roman court cervantin, en même temps qu’il oriente sa plume en direction des personnages de la nouvelle cour. Mais quelle est la réelle motivation derrière un tel virage auctorial dans la décennie des années 20 ? Que recherche Lope avec ces deux volumes particuliers et quelles stratégies emploie-t-il afin
de construire ce « je » inhabituel et nouveau ? Cette thèse vise non seulement à répondre à ces questions, mais également à aborder des problématiques plus approfondies, et en définitive, ses hypothèses ont pour but d’esquisser un profil plus net de l’auteur dans sa pleine maturité.
Abstract
Lope de Vega's lyrical trajectory has been studied through his different authorial personae, all of them adopted according periods and interests. Loyal to the nickname by which he was known during his life, our Phoenix reinvents and succeeds himself: he was a poet of romancero, poet of Petrarchist canzonieri, religious, courtly, and even satyrical writer. Among all those poetic voices, the courtly or high-educated Lope has not been sufficiently attended, and his main works from that period do not even have updated critical editions. We are talking about an author that from 1621, once Philip IV ascended
the throne, shook the editorial market of the moment with two works of a complicated generic taxonomy: La Filomena (1621) and La Circe (1624). Were they mere prosimètres? courtly canzonieri? Through both of them, Lope delves into literary subgenres he had not explored before, like the mythological fable or the Cervantesque short stories. At the same time, these two titles were dedicated to several figures of the
new court. So, what does really motivate him in such authorial shift? what does he aim to with these peculiar books and what sort of strategies does he use to construct this unusual and renovated voice in the early twenties? This study will try to answer not only those questions but other more problematic aspects. In short, the hypothesis here tackled will design a vivid profile of Lope de Vega at his full maturity
