Abstract

This study delved into the lived experiences of self-aware-non-fluent English teachers in their instructional delivery to come up with practical strategies and ways to strengthen the delivery of instruction in using the English language. Accordingly, qualitative research design and hermeneutic phenomenological processes were utilized. In analyzing the acquired responses from the participants, the following steps were applied: (1) hermeneutic phenomenological reduction; (2) imaginative variation, where the possible meanings of horizons were attained through the individual and composite structural descriptions; lastly, (3) essence, where the synthesis and reflections were made to form implications. The epoche was also applied before and during the conduct of this qualitative research to suspend the researcher’s connection to the experiences of the participants and maintain bias-free data. Based on the testimonies gathered from the participants, 139 subordinate themes, 28 superordinate themes, and four (4) main themes were unveiled. Challenges encountered in using the English language in an English classroom, Practices in developing English language fluency in the classroom, Various training on enriching the English language fluency among English teachers; and Favorable experiences as English teachers were the four (4) main themes which highlighted all the significant occurrences in the classroom regarding English language fluency. As a result, a booklet entitled “I am a Pedagogue: Repertoire of English Fluency Enrichment Strategies” was crafted which emphasized strategies acquired from the lived experience of the participants and was intended to be applied by all the English teachers in Calamba City. Keywords – English teachers, enrichment strategies, instructional delivery, non-fluency

Abstract

Police malpractice, abuse of power, and police misfits are issues and problems associated with police recruits. There were reports about inappropriate acts committed by newly hired police officers during their actual field practice. This qualitative phenomenological studydetermined the dimensions of training that hamper the development of knowledge and skills of the police trainees and police officers.Seventeen (17) purposely selected participants comprised the sample for this study. They were chosen through the following inclusion criteria: police supervisors, trainers, police recruits, staff from the National Police Training Institute (NPTI) and have two or more years ofexperience. Thirteen recurring themes emerged from the verbatim interviews. The Philippine National Police (PNP), National Police Training Institute (NPTI), and the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM) are the three public safety institutions in the Philippinesthat are expected to promote the quality performance of police recruits in both training and practice. On the whole, the results of this study can serve as the basis for creating innovative policies about police recruits’ selection, curriculum development, stress management,creation of core competency framework, performance evaluation system, and training and practice needs assessment.

Abstract

Understanding pre-service teachers' mindset, grit, and adversity quotient boosts their morale, confidence, and self-esteem as future educators. This descriptive-correlational research determined the relationship between the aforementioned constructs of pre-service teachers in the Philippines and Hong Kong. The respondents of the study were 155 pre-service teachers from two Asian countries. The data were gathered through answering an online questionnaire generated through Google forms and disseminated through e-Mail and messenger on social networking sites. The responses from the respondents were automatically stored at the Google drive application. The standardized questionnaires were used in the study. The respondent's mindset was assessed using Dweck's Mindset Instrument (DMI). In terms of grit, it was measured using Duckworth's Grit-Short Scale, and the respondent's adversity quotient was examined using The Adversity Quotient Profile® 9.1 by Dr. Paul G. Stoltz. The majority of the pre-service teachers in the two Asian countries are dominated by female students with an ideal age bracket suited as university students possessing a growth mindset. Students with a growth mindset have displayed a higher level of grit and adversity quotients than those students with a fixed mindset. This study concluded that mindset and adversity quotient is significantly associated. Hence, stakeholders involved in the development of 21st-century learners should promote the mindset, but they may also develop other essential parallel variables, such as the adversity quotient, to encourage them to be desirable attribution necessary for being global and competitive citizens of the society.

Abstract

This study determined the school head's conflict resolution skills, organizational school climate, and teachers' work engagement among public school principals and teachers in the City Schools Division in Laguna for the school year 2020-2021. One hundred twelve (112) public school principals and one thousand forty-eight (1048) teachers were the respondents of the study. The researchers utilized a descriptive correlation study design. It made use of adopted and modified questionnaires to assess and measure the variables studied. The statistical tools used to analyze the data gathered were: Mean, standard deviation, Pearson r, and Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. Findings revealed that conflict resolution skills and organizational school climate were relevant to teachers' work engagement. The results were used to determine the principal and teachers’ development program to be proposed to the School Divisions officials. The teachers' work engagement was related to the school heads' conflict resolution skills and organizational school climate. To ensure a more efficient teachers work engagement, school heads are encouraged to continue cultivating a culture of excellence in the school by exposing the teachers to relevant activities that may sustain the work engagement by means of exhibiting quality performance in teaching and learning. Also, supervisors should strengthen the performance of the teachers by providing the technical assistance needed to further improve their performance. Technical assistance should focus on curriculum delivery and the school's operation and management.
