Abstract

The Philippines is one of the countries in the world who suffers in different disasters, particularly natural disasters. Every year, there are more than twenty incidents recorded in the country related to different disasters which involve numerous lives of its citizens. It is found that most Filipinos have lack of knowledge in terms of disaster preparation specially, teenagers. This paper intended to develop a mobile-based game that aims to spread awareness on what to do during disasters. Upon development, forty-five (45) respondents were chosen to test the reliability of the application which composed of elementary students, household owners, police officers, fire fighters and IT experts. Further, ISO 25010 was adapted and modified in assessing the project. The results showed that the application is strongly acceptable and gives appropriate output in terms of disaster preparation garnering a total mean of 3.83

Abstract

This transcendental phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of seasoned faculty members in adapting to the learning behaviors of Generation Z (Gen Z) students. Ten higher education instructors from one state university, each with at least ten years of continuous teaching experience, were purposively selected as participants. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews designed to elicit in-depth reflections on their teaching encounters, challenges, and adaptive strategies in addressing the unique characteristics of Gen Z learners. Analysis of the interview data revealed three overarching themes: (a) the evolving learning characteristics and challenges of Gen Z students, (b) adaptive and engaging teaching practices for Gen Z learners, and (c) the effectiveness and responsiveness of adaptive teaching strategies. From these themes, the SAIL Metaphorical Framework was developed to conceptualize effective teaching for Gen Z learners, encompassing four key components: S – Student Characteristics, A – Adaptive Teaching, I – Instructional Effectiveness, and L – Learning Journey. The findings highlight those Gen Z learners’ short attention spans, digital dependence, and varied social behaviors necessitate adaptive, technology-integrated, and student-centered instructional approaches. Seasoned faculty members play a crucial role in bridging generational learning gaps through continuous reflection, innovation, and responsiveness to learner diversity. Ultimately, adaptive teaching emerges as both a pedagogical approach and a transformative process of professional growth, enabling educators to create meaningful and lasting learning experiences that align with the evolving needs of Generation Z students.
