Abstract
The essence of plant parenting became at par with other activities that help individuals face the
challenges of social isolation brought by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of changes in the
habits and routine of individuals, stress and uncertainty became relevant.
This study aimed to determine the level of awareness on the benefits of plant parenting during
the COVID-19 pandemic.
This study was administered using Google forms among 100 individuals through quota sampling.
Mean and Standard Deviation were used as descriptive statistics while Mann-Whitney U Test and
Kruskal-Wallis H Test for inferential statistics set at 0.05 level of significance. All computations
were done through Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS).
Plants have long been known to provide numerous benefits to human lives. The importance of
plant parenting even grew and was recognized at the height of COVID-19 pandemic, when almost
all individuals were confronted with the challenges of social isolation.
Abstract
This research study aimed to describe the lessons which students earned from joining webinars.
This utilized qualitative- narrative analysis methodology and involved six informants through
purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. In-depth interview and focus group discussion
using semi- r r d r w d wr r f o d o G ’ r f mod w r
employed to gather data. The data were transcribed, analyzed, compared, and rigidly categorized
into different themes to provide a backbone of the narratives. Lessons that students learned from
joining webinars were 1. Simple, yet deep descriptions, 2. Humble, yet genuine feelings, 3.
Objective, yet, heartfelt evaluation, 4. Patchy, yet holistic analysis, 5. Innovative, yet personal
conclusions, and, 6. Firm, yet purposeful actions. The findings of this study have significant
implications on social studies teachers, curriculum planners, and school policy makers in
considering the importance of webinars in revitalizing teaching learning in the new normal.

DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
T d d rm d d o d ’ of w r o r m d
diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The results showed that education students were slightly aware (M = 2.44, SD = 0.24). Moreover,
there were a significant high positive correlations (r(26) =0.752, p=0.001) on the access to medical
care, location of health facilities, spread of diseases common in the area, health and average
lifespan of Ilonggos.
Awareness of sustainable healthcare system and prevention of diseases among students will
stimulate wider discernment of health care access and services, especially during the COVID-19
pandemic.
Abstract
Financial literacy is knowing the basic financial management principlesand applying them in day-
to-day life. It is also known as the ability to effectively manage o ’ finances by drawing
systematic budgets, paying off debts, making buying and selling decisions, and ultimately
becoming financially self-sustainable.
This study determined the level of financial literacy of the residents of the municipality of
Badiangan based on financial knowledge and financial behavior.
The results showed that the level of financial literacy among the residents of Badiangan is high in
both financial knowledge (M=4.05, SD=3.62) and financial behavior (M=3.95, SD=3.62).
Moreover, there were no significant differences in the financial knowledge (t(18)=.768, p=.453)
and behavior (t(18)=2.092, p=.051) of residents when grouped according to sex. Also, there were
no significant differences in financial knowledge F(2, 17)= .475, p= .630) and behavior F(2, 17)=
1.37, p= 2.81) of residents when grouped according to occupation.
Financial knowledge and financial behavior should be maintained through subsequent financial
d o o m ro o ’ q of life.
Abstract
Due to the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a shift to emergency remote
education and blended learning. However, although there have been a number of studies
regarding remote education, few have specifically gone into the level of awareness of students
on the concepts associated with and the methods utilized in remote education.
T d m d od rm d ’ of w r r g rd g o r d o
remote learning and blended learning, as well as the methods employed in remote education
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The study made use of a survey questionnaire corresponding to a 5.0 scale for interpretation.
Furthermore, Spearman's rho correlation was used to determine the existence of a significant
relationship between the levels of awareness on the concepts related to remote education and
blended learning, and the methods utilized in remote learning.
According to the data gathered, the participants have a 3.53 and 4.01 weighted average mean
(WAM) which is interpreted as being "Very Aware" on the concepts regarding remote learning
and blended learning, and the methods employed in remote learning respectively. The
Spearman's rho correlation presents a p-value of 0.816 with 0.05 level of significance which
suggests r o g f r o w d ’ of w r o
concepts of remote learning and blended learning and the level of awareness on the methods
utilized in remote learning. Conclusion: Ilonggo students are very aware of the ideas and concepts
associated with remote education and blended learning. The same can be said about the level of
awareness on the methods utilized in the remote learning setup. There is no significant
relationship between the students' level of awareness in the topics being studied.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic challenged the local healthcare system as well as the bayanihan spirit
of the Filipino people. As the health crisis or the pandemic emerge, bayanihan initiatives easily
spread in many parts of the country.
This study aims to determine the level of awareness of BSED Social Studies Major students
toward the local healthcare system and bayanihan initiatives during COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This descriptive-survey study utilized a duly-validated survey questionnaire. There were
one hundred six (106) BSED Social Studies students selected through stratified random sampling.
Mean, Standard Deviation, One Way ANOVA and t-Test were utilized for data analysis.
The respondents have a moderate awareness on the local healthcare system (M=2.96, SD=0.85)
and bayanihan initiatives (M=3.02, SD=1.46). There were significant differences in the local
healthcare system and bayanihan initiatives when group by residence (t=29.25, p=0.00) and sex
(t=35.93, p=0.00). There are no significant and measurable differences when grouped according
to year level using One Way ANOVA (Sig=0.748,0.565).
Healthcare system and bayanihan initiatives are two important things that manage the effects of
pandemic. Local communities shall continue publishing such information that contributes to
influe d ’ k ow dg r d r d r d g of f r g

Abstract
This research focused on a Virtual Classroom management on teaching speaking English
students. The objective of this research is to find out the Strategies of virtual classroom
management that used by the lecturers in teaching productive skills, and to know the reasons of
lecturers used those strategies in the first semester of English education. This research conduct
at Muhammadiyah University of Makassar.
The participant were two lecturers from the third semester in teaching intensive speaking at
English education of university Muhammadiyah of Makassar. The instrument of this research are
observation and interview.
The results of the study found five strategies used by the lecturers in teaching intensive speaking,
4 of which were relevant to Berry theory, namely Reaching out early and often, limiting Lecturers,
Enhancing Discussions, using virtual classroom technical features to encourage discussion, using
class time to share personal and professional updates. The reasons why lecturers use this
strategy is to know the background of the problems faced by students, lack of confidence, build
communication, and lack of active student involvement.
Abstract

Abstract
The study entitled E-module in teaching statistical methods: an asynchronous and synchronous
delivery mode under new normal focused on the development and assessment of the e-module
created using office mix. The e-module was developed with powerpoint presentation for each of
the eight (8) lessons in statistics having audio or video explanation of the topics per slide exported
as video presentation were shared by the researcher to the mathematics experts, IT experts and
students for evaluation. The research adopted the ADDIE model from the analysis of the students
that led in realizing the study up to the implementation and evaluation. Each of the lessons in the
e-module was designed and developed based on the needs of the students.
The research findings of the mathematics experts, IT experts, and students favored the e- module
as it was proven very acceptable and therefore highly recommended for use. In terms of the
objectives, content, motivational or review activities, delivery of instruction, and formative
assessment exercises evaluated by the mathematics experts, the grand mean was 3.62 indicating
the e-module was really having acceptable standards. While the evaluation of the ICT experts
revealed a grand mean of 3.77 indicating that the content, layout, design, usability and quality of
the e-module are very acceptable and highly recommend d for .T d ’ o
obtained a grand mean of 3.74 numerical description and interpretation that the content, layout,
delivery of instruction, instructional use, and formative assessment exercises are also very
acceptable and highly recommended for use. The evaluation of the students also resulted to the
positive feedback while exploring and using the e-module that provided them with notable
experiences about the office mix.
This descriptive research aimed to explore the current practices on internationalization, the issues,
and problems encountered, and the perceived benefits and/or opportunities in internationalization
of State Universities and Colleges in Region 3. Moreover, upon the recommendation of the CHED
IAS Director the study involved eleven (11) Internationalization Directors/Heads, 110 deans and
110 students.
Based on the results of the study, the mobility for teaching and learning domain was rated by the
participants with an overall mean of 3.07, described verb “Good”. Mor o r

In addition, the participants revealed that internationalization benefits and provide opportunities
to the students, enhances the second language competence of the students, develops,
international reputation thru participation in seminars, training, and conferences and enhances
prestige/profile for the institution.
With this, the researcher recommended that the Comprehensive Institutional Internalization
Program developed in this study could help the university administrators, CHED, higher education
sector and internationalization key players in advancing and promoting internationalization. They
may adopt and/or adapt this program to guide them in their decision- making, and to prepare them
in venturing to any internationalization program. This may further assist them as well in improving
the extent of internationalization of their SUCs. Likewise, the findings of the study could be an
eye-o r o f d d o o ’ r o z o initiatives and

Abstract
Health professionals play a vital role in providing essential services that promote health, prevent
diseases and deliver health care services to communities. It is necessary to determine the
constructs that may influence the motivation of students to pursue such noble professions.
The aim of this study is to determine the Biological self-efficacy, academic achievement in Biology
and motivation towards medical and allied health courses of STEM students. The participants of
the study were the 100 randomly selected STEM students from a private institution in Roxas City,
Capiz. Data for this study were gathered using the adapted Biological Self-efficacy scale from
Baldwin (1998), obtained grades in Biology, and the researcher-made Motivation towards Health
and Allied Courses Questionnaire. Statistical tools employed to analyze the data gathered include
mean, standard deviation, One-way Analysis of Variance and Pearson r. All inferential tests were
set at 0.05 alpha level of significance.
The findings of this study revealed that the level of Biological self-efficacy of STEM students is
“ g ”; of d m m in Biology of STEM students is “o d g”; d
level of motivation towards medical and allied health courses of STEM students is “ r g ”.
Moreover, the study also showed that STEM students with higher levels of Biological self-efficacy
and academic achievement in Biology are more motivated to pursue Medical and Allied Health
courses. Lastly, the study revealed that significant relationships exist among Biological self-
efficacy, academic achievement in Biology and motivation towards medical and allied health
courses of STEM students.
Abstract
Not all-academic interventions yield the same effect to student recipient. Nevertheless, business
educators continue to provide intervention program without examining its effect on students. This
study tries to measure the effectiveness of an intervention measure among third- year students
to improve their level of trustworthiness indicated in the result of the 16 Personality Factor Test
(PFT). The intervention measure was embedded in their Human Behavior in Organization course,
enriching the subject with cases and activities on trust as an important element in business
organization, at the same time, orienting the faculty on the importance of personality on d ’
future career. The study reveals that there is a significant improvement on the trust among
students, those enrolled in the second term, second semester have a higher post- test
performance than other periods. Due to d ’ d ff r r g df g r
significantly varies. The intervention measures have a positive effect on a third of the students
described as progressing, but no effect on the next third of students called neutrals and has a
negative effect on the last third of students called declining. It is the result of the pre and post-
test, which discriminate the three groups of students.
Abstract
National passing rates in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) from 2015 to 2019
indicated that majority of education graduates in the Philippines are not qualified to practice in the
field. This study uses Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach
to examine the effects of academic performance, practice teaching performance, self-efficacy,
and test anxiety on LET performance and the interrelationship of some factors. An online survey
was carried out with a sample of 63 graduates of Bachelor of Secondary Education from two
Teacher Education Institutions in Nueva Ecija. WarpPLS 7.0 was used to analyze the
measurement and structural models. The results indicated that (1) academic performance,
practice teaching performance, self-efficacy, and test anxiety predict LET performance and (2)
practice teaching performance mediates the effect of academic performance to LET performance.
This study proposes a structural model, which interrelationship of some factors is significant, and
in addition, has predictive relevance.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the educational leadership of the School Heads of
Nueva Ecija, Philippines under the new normal education. The theory supporting this study was
the Systems Theory (1951) of Talcott Parsons which implies the new normal educational
system has inputs that are processed through the leadership of the school heads aiming for
quality ends. Interviews with the school heads were conducted to gather the imperative data from
the eleven participants. The collected data were transcribed, examined, coded, and broken
down into themes that emerged throughout the research process. The school heads operated
in a manageable and flexible way. They ensure that even if there is presence of COVID 19,
education would continue through the guidance of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) and
Department of Education (DepED). They operated with an assurance that all stakeholders
are prepared and would embrace all the changes in the new normal education. School heads
manage the students by initially collaborating with other stakeholders most especially
the parents, teachers and fellow school heads. They lead with respect and fairness. This is the
practice that they do to ensure that quality education is still pursued even at these times of
crisis. The leadership style of the school heads in the new normal education is democratic
and transformational. Majority of them have full trust to their subordinates and involve them in
making decisions. Other school heads have also acted like parents to their subordinates and
help them in improving their skills and professionalism.

Abstract
This study investigated the effectiveness of vocabulary games in building the vocabulary skills of
the Grade 7 students of Cabiao National High School.
This study used an experimental research design. Eighty (80) Grade 7 students of Cabiao
National High School in the school year 2018-2019 composed the samples of the study. Forty
(40) students from Section J. Mariano were assigned to the experimental group, and the other
forty (40) students from Section D. Quiambao were assigned to the control group. Data were
gathered through validated vocabulary tests used as pre-test and post-test for both the
experimental and control groups and questionnaires on the satisfaction level of students towards
vocabulary games. These were treated statistically using the mean score, weighted mean, and t-
test.
The pre-test and post-test results and satisfaction level inventory show that students in the
experimental group gained significantly more knowledge and satisfaction towards English
vocabulary than those in the control group. This proves that vocabulary games are an effective
tool in teaching vocabulary among Grade 7 students.

Abstract
Since Education is very essential, schools turned to different learning modalities like online
education to make sure that learning will continue amidst Covid-19 pandemic. This study was
intended to identify the causes of anxiety to the parents whose children are studying online and
the coping mechanism they are adopting in order to address these issues and to identify if there
g f r o w r ’ rof w r x o of r
children. The researcher used a descriptive method in this research. Survey-checklist
questionnaire was sent through Google Forms to the 266 parents of Junior High School Students
of Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology in School Year 2020-2021. Moderate
knowledge in operating educational platforms; often giving of assistance and guidance of the
parents to their children having online classes; budget for purchasing gadget, devices and
additional expenses due to online classes; having poor eyesight, posture, calmness and focus of
their children in online classes were among the identified anxiety-causing factors of the parent-
respondents. The most coping mechanisms adopted by the respondents were: seeing something
good in what is happening, learning from experience, praying/meditating and learning to live with
the situation or accepting it. The study revealed that the demographic profile of the parent-
respondents has no significant relationship with the anxieties of the parent-respondents towards
r dr ’ o classes.

all academic settings. The study will determine the assessed skills of new teachers at a certain
university in promoting a positive learning environment. It will also propose a training plan for a
specific area needing enhancement. This study used the descriptive-correlational method of
research. It will determine if there is a relationship between profile variables and the current
pedagogical skills rating in promoting a positive learning environment. The study utilized
frequency and percentage, Point Biserial Correlation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r),
the Weighted Mean and ranking. The findings revealed that respondents' ratings of their skills in
promoting a positive learning environment, as verified by peers and supervisors, are "very
satisfactory." There is an area found to have a low rating that needs to be given preferential
attention. The profile variables do not determine the extent of the new teacher's performance in
promoting a positive learning environment. Peers and supervisors can determine and describe
the new teacher ’ k romo g o r g ro m .

Abstract
This developmental research aimed to develop a video-based instructional material for online
mathematics learning and ascertained its effect to the mathematics performance of non-
mathematics major first year college students. ADDIE (Analysis-Design-Development-
Implementation-Evaluation) model was used to develop the material. The instruments used were
researcher-made test on mathematics performance, s d ’ d x r ’
questionnaire, asynchronous online FGD guide, and open-ended questionnaire. Data analysis
tools employed were mean, standard deviation, and Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test all processed
through SPSS. In addition, thematic analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. The study
revealed that the performance of the students after the use of video-based materials in online
mathematics learning is significantly higher than before its implementation. Students perceived
mathematics learning online in the new normal as challenging but they are willing to learn;
interesting and exciting; and meaningful amidst the crisis. The developed video-based
instructional material has the following parts: title, learning objectives, overview, discussion,
checkpoint, key to correction, and references. The acceptability of the developed videos as
d x r d d w g .F r rmor d ’
experiences on the use of videos in learning mathematics online exemplified that the videos were
easy to understand, flexible, have an implied social presence of the teacher, and suited to new
normal learning. Thus, video-based instructional material is indeed an effective tool to make
learning mathematics online inclusive, efficient, and meaningful. Despite of the educational
limitations caused by the pandemic, 21st century learners better appreciated learning mathematics
in the new normal through the use of technology-enhanced materials like videos which guided
them in their knowledge construction.

Abstract
Texts written in different speech communities may feature different rhetorical patterns, which
should be addressed to better facilitate comprehension. Accordingly, metatext, a text that
appears outside of another text, helps direct the reader's attention to the structure of the text,
making it more comprehensible. Hence, this study examined the metatext categories employed
by writers in the result-and-discussion sections of research articles from four distinct speech
communities: Iran, Japan, Korea, and Philippines. Specifically, it aimed to attain the following
research objectives: (1) to describe the metatext categories that exist in ESL/EFL research
articles in the four speech communities in terms of preview, review, connectors, and action
markers; and (2) to draw some implications of the findings to ESL/EFL teaching. The data analysis
and result-and-discussion sections of eight research papers (RAs) were analyzed (RAs). The
results indicated that while previews were more common in Japanese English and Philippine
English, reviews were more frequent in Philippine English and Iranian English. In terms of
connections, Philippine English and Korean English had the most, which were mainly based on
additive and temporal alternatives. However, in the category of action markers, Philippine English
had the lowest proportion of occurrences, while Japanese English had the greatest, followed by
Iranian English and Korean English. Nonetheless, these findings imply that, while metatext was
evident in the research articles from four speech communities, Philippine English tend to be more
writer-responsible than the other Englishes included in the study.

Abstract
This research studied the teaching improvement of daycare workers in imitation, joint attention
and language activities using the play-based early intervention training program in Cabanatuan
City, Nueva Ecija. Focus group discussions were developed to explore the attitude, beliefs and
practices of daycare workers. Findings of the study revealed that daycare workers have existing
knowledge and experience in teaching children with Autism. Their workshops on managing
inappropriate behaviors of children with Autism resulting in a general positive perception on
accepting and teaching children with Autism in daycare centers. Play-based activities were
modelled and participated in by daycare workers. These include demonstration, modelling,
prompting and providing social reinforcers as reward. Five lectures and five training days were
do o m m r g rogr m. D r work r ’ of k g m o o
attention and language were gathered before and after the participation in the training program.
Findings suggest significant differences between pre-test and post-test scores. They have shown
significant improvement in facilitating imitation, joint attention and language children with Autism
after the play-based early intervention training. They were able to initiate and sustain imitation,
joint attention and language activities with adequate knowledge and confidence. The following
conclusions were drawn, existing attitude and beliefs greatly influenced the positive delivery mode
of instruction, teacher-directed approach to improved attention, imitation, joint attention and
language of children with Autism can be acquired by daycare workers and teaching skills and
experience can be used as reference and basis for identifying future training needs.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to determine the factor that makes online distance learning successful
during the pandemic COVID-19 and focused on uncovering factors to make online distance
learning possible during the pandemic. The research is phenomenological in nature and was
conducted during the pandemic COVID-19. A descriptive-survey method was used to identify the
technology skills, attitude towards the characteristics of a successful online teacher/student,and
level of readiness for the administrators, together with the experienced benefits that were
experienced in online distance learning. Correlational analysis was employed to determine the
relationship between the variables. Attitude towards online distance learning is strongly
correlated to the experienced benefits of online distance learning by the teachers and students.
The readiness of the institution in adapting online learning is strongly correlated to the
experienced benefits of the administrators. The study brought to surface the lived experiences of
the respondents in online distance learning during COVID-19. This paper will be useful for school
administrators and teachers as a basis for policy and program formulation for online distance

Abstract
Calculus is one of the courses considered frustrating and difficult by most learners. This
frustration, along with difficulty encountered, is coupled with the challenges brought about by the
paradigm shift to online learning. In an effort to address some of these challenges, the teacher-
researcher employed project-based learning through workbook making in hopes of improving
students' learning. The study used a phenomenological approach to investigate the second year
Bachelor of Secondary Education- M m d ’ d x r work ook-making
during the pandemic. The study utilized simple random sampling among the students who were
taking Calculus course during the second semester of the school year 2020-2021. Eleven (11)
students responded and were subjected to semi-structured interview questions. Using thematic
analysis, three themes emerged: (1) Difficulties and Challenges in making Calculus workbook
during the Pandemic, (2) Strategies employed to make Calculus workbook during the Pandemic,
and (3) Workbook-making as a tool in learning Calculus. The result of the study may be a
springboard for other Mathematics educators to devise learning interventions or apply project-
based learning, specifically workbook-m k g g d ’ r g o o
but Mathematics in general, during the pandemic. It can also serve as a baseline in conducting
related studies in other fields and levels.
Abstract
Motivation as an individual marvel has usually been focused on with little studies investigating
how motivational characteristics could affect learners' academic performance. The study
evaluated the relationship between motivational attributes and academic performance among
freshman college students in a state university in Cebu, Philippines. In particular, it attempted to
address the following: r o d ’ g d x d ' gr d o r g d o
find out if there is a correlation between the different motivational attributes towards academic
performance.
Using quantitative analysis of information collected, the descriptive technique was used in the
research. It used weighted mean, chi-square, contingency coefficient, and t-test to provide
interpretation of information. Based on the assessment of their level of motivational attributes, an
overall weighted mean was 3.99 with composite weighted means along with the areas of Intrinsic
Goal Orientation 4.11, Extrinsic Goal Orientation 4.18, Task Value 4.07, and Control of Learning
Beliefs 4.19, Self-Efficacy for Learning and Performance 3.78, and Test Anxiety 3.58. All these
numerical data were equivalent to a descriptive rating of Agree (A).
The results of the chi-square test showed rejection of the null hypothesis. The computed value
was greater than the critical value of 9.488 using a 5x2 contingency table. It also obtained a
computed coefficient of the contingency of 0.371, which denotes moderate correlation. The
computed t-value was also greater than the tabled value of 1.96 at =0.05 level of significance.
There is a link between the different motivational attributes and academic performance.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find out how satisfied public secondary school teachers are with
their jobs in SDO-Gabaldon Annex, Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija. This study specifically sought to
answer questions about teachers' teaching performance. It was also determined that teachers'
job satisfaction and its relationship to teacher profile and teaching performance. A total of 89
proficient teachers teaching in secondary public schools were chosen as respondents, and a
descriptive correlation design was used to examine the relationships between the variables
included in the study. Respondents in five public secondary schools in SDO-Gabaldon Annex,
Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija were sent survey questionnaires via Google forms. According to the
study's findings, most respondents are female, married, have a bachelor's degree with a master's
unit, have less than five years of service, and are between the ages of 31 and 40. The majority of
respondents hold the position of Teacher I. Most teachers' performance rating was rated
outstanding. Correlation analysis revealed no significant relationship between the respondent's
profile (age, gender, civil status, years in service, highest educational attainment, and position)
and teachers' teaching performance and job satisfaction. The hypothesis states that "there is no
significant correlation between respondents' teaching performance and job satisfaction " is
rejected. The computed value of r is -0.543*, which indicates that the respondents' teaching
performance and job satisfaction have a high negative correlation. Teachers are content with their
jobs due to the school leaders' support and oversight. Teachers' satisfaction is critical to their
ability to educate. Teachers' high job satisfaction and job security, which educational leaders
constantly monitor, contribute to their work performance. The job satisfaction of proficient
teachers in public secondary schools is entirely dependent on their efficiency. Despite recent
challenges, teachers may be able to maintain job satisfaction. School administrators should
prioritize timely promotion, career advancement, and better working conditions to keep teachers
satisfied. Teachers' commitment to teaching, physical presence in the school environment, and
dedication to their students will benefit from this. To ensure that teachers are satisfied, the
government may conduct and address research into their specific needs.
