Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess the implementation of the spiral progression approach in teaching science according to the threat of its volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (vuca).  Methodology of Research: Descriptive research design was employed in this study, and the total enumeration technique was used to determine the respondents. A valid and reliable self-made questionnaire was utilized in the conduct of the study. Results: As viewed in the result of the study, it was found that the VUCA level of the spiral progression approach in teaching science is Low, therefore there is a minimal threat and issues that need to be addressed properly since if ignored, it will pose a bigger problem in the future. Likewise, the implementation of the spiral progression approach in science teaching is geared toward the right track. Limitations: This study looks into the implementation of the spiral progression approach and assesses its volatilities, uncertainties, complexities, and ambiguities (VUCA) as a way to cope with its complex conditions as perceived by science teachers and serves as variables of the study. Respondents of the study were limited only to those teachers teaching secondary science in the school year 2021-2022. Contribution: This research endeavor will be beneficial as it aims to add knowledge on the implementation of the Spiral Progression Approach with a special focus on its volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity which will become the basis of future programs and policies to illuminate the current set of understanding about this educational reform program.

Abstract

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to determine the Blackboard System's effectiveness on students' academic performance in Araling Panlipunan. Research methodology: The study employed a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test non-equivalent group design and was entirely quantitative. Seventy (70) Ligaya High School students in Grade 7 who were divided into the control and experimental groups made up the study's subjects. Both groups received instruction on related subjects throughout the first quarter of the Araling Panlipunan grading period. The t-test for dependent and independent samples was the statistical tool employed to evaluate the hypothesis. Results: Results indicate that using the Blackboard System to teach Araling Panlipunan is a more effective approach than using the traditional lecture technique. Further, it has a significant impact on students and learning processes. Teachers also gained great benefits in using this system since it provided them an easy way of tracking student progress reducing a lot of paperwork load. Limitations: This study was limited to only Grade 7 Araling Panlipunan learners in the school year 2019-2020. The duration of the experiment was only focused on the First Quarter grading period. Contribution: One of the key goals of the study is to raise the standard of education by using new technological trends, which will assist them to advance their skills and competencies in technology. Teachers will also benefit from the study to help them improve their craft with the use of effective pedagogy with ICT to cope with the changing world.

Abstract

Purpose: The primary goal of this study was to analyze the level of cultural sensitivity and its impact on the performance of secondary school teachers in Buayan District, Division of General Santos City. This study attempted to identify correlations between cultural sensitivity and secondary teacher performance. Research methodology: The research design of this study was descriptive-correlative. Since the design is descriptive, it provides a full discussion and explanation of teachers' cultural sensitivity and its impact on their performance. Furthermore, the study's methodology aimed to identify significant correlations between the variables under investigation. The mean and Pearson product-moment correlations were the statistical measures employed to evaluate the hypotheses. Results: The findings revealed a significant, moderate, and direct relationship between cultural sensitivity and teacher performance. Consequently, strengthening teachers' cultural sensitivity may improve their performance. Limitations: This study was limited to three (3) Buayan District Public Secondary Schools. The variables under consideration were narrowed down because cultural sensitivity is only concerned with the value system, belief system, decision making, and cross-cultural communication. On the other hand, teachers’ performance variables focused only on the teaching and learning processes, student outcomes, and community involvement. Contribution: The findings of this study provide information on teachers' levels of cultural sensitivity as a foundation for improving their performance and developing a curriculum for teaching in various cultures. Novelty: This study's originality focuses on its factors, which integrate cultural sensitivity and teachers’ performance. This research aids in determining the impact of teachers' cultural sensitivity on their performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This study identifies the best model fit for organizational performance among state universities and colleges (SUCs) in Region XII, Philippines, influenced by innovation strategy and quality management practices. Research methodology: The study design was descriptive-correlative. Since the design is descriptive, it provides a comprehensive explanation of organizational performance among SUCs in Region XII. Furthermore, the Mean and latent variable analysis (LAVAAN) using the r-studio package were the statistical measures employed to evaluate the hypothesis. Results: The findings indicate that SUCs effectively fulfill their instructional, research, and extension functions, and their organizational performance is influenced by both innovation strategies and quality management practices. The developed model revealed a positive relationship between technological innovation, continuous improvement practices, and organizational performance. However, a negative relationship was observed between management innovation and support. Limitations: This study was limited to SUCs in Region XII. The variables for organizational performance were limited to performance in instruction, research, and extension, while predictors of these performances revolved only in innovation strategy and quality management. Contribution: The intended implementation of the model among SUCs aims to enhance their performance and align it with the mandates of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). Overall, this study's output will contribute to the pool of knowledge, particularly in the field of educational management. Novelty: The study not only provides a comprehensive understanding of organizational performance among SUCs but also develops a model that best fits organizational performance, which has not been done in previous studies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the level of awareness and extent of adaptation strategies of upland and lowland local rice farmers in the municipality of Surallah, in the province of South Cotabato, in response to the impacts of climate change. Methodology/approach: This study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design to evaluate the awareness levels, extent of adaptation strategies, and interrelationships among these variables within upland and lowland local rice farming communities in Surallah, South Cotabato province. Results/Findings: The research findings highlight the significant differences in awareness levels and adaptation strategies between upland and lowland rice farmers. Upland farmers exhibited lower awareness and sporadic adaptation measures, while their lowland counterparts demonstrated a moderately aware status with a corresponding, albeit moderate, application of adaptive strategies. The study also revealed a meaningful positive relationship between awareness levels and adaptation strategies across both groups. Limitations: The study focused only on the municipality of Surallah in the Province of South Cotabato, concentrating on upland and lowland farmers. Contribution: The findings of this study reveal how farmers in different geographical settings respond to the challenges presented by climate change and reveal potential connections between awareness and adaptation strategies, which will become the basis for policy recommendations. Novelty: The novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on upland and lowland rice farmers in Surallah, South Cotabato, providing a comprehensive examination of awareness and adaptation strategies towards climate change.
