Abstract

E This study aims to explore the potential of Montessori's pedagogy in promoting peace education in the Philippines. Using a qualitative research design, the study collected data from 10 participants, including teachers, parents, and Montessori school administrators. The findings of the study suggest that Montessori's approach can contribute to peace education by promoting a child-centered and experiential learning environment, which can foster critical thinking skills and empathy towards others. Moreover, the study identified several challenges to implementing Montessori's pedagogy in the Philippine context, such as the lack of awareness and understanding of the approach among educators and parents, limited availability of trained Montessori teachers, and the lack of resources and support for implementing the approach in schools. The study also proposed strategies for adapting and implementing Montessori's pedagogy in the Philippine context, such as providing training and professional development for teachers, building awareness and understanding of the approach among parents and educators, and developing partnerships and collaborations between Montessori schools and other educational institutions in the Philippines

Abstract

This study explored the use of YouTube children's educational videos to enhance early childhood English language proficiency. The study utilized a qualitative research design, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 parents of preschool-aged children. The findings of the study revealed that parents used a variety of YouTube children's educational videos to enhance their children's English language proficiency, including videos that taught basic English vocabulary, songs, nursery rhymes, grammar, and sentence structures. Participants also identified perceived benefits and drawbacks of using YouTube children's educational videos, such as improvements in vocabulary and grammar skills, exposure to the English language, and concerns about addiction to watching videos, exposure to inappropriate content, and quality and accuracy issues. Moreover, parents perceived YouTube children's educational videos to be effective in enhancing their children's English language skills, and various factors influenced their decision to use such videos, such as convenience, affordability, variety of content, and fun and engaging learning. The study suggests that YouTube children's educational videos can be a useful tool to enhance early childhood English language proficiency. However, parents need to be mindful of the potential drawbacks associated with their use, such as inappropriate content and addiction. The study also contributes to the existing literature on the use of technology in early childhood education and provides insights into parents' perspectives on YouTube children's educational videos.

Abstract

This study examined the key characteristics and practices of successful school principals, as perceived by teachers, parents, and students. Four themes emerged from the data: collaborative decision-making, relationship building, continuous professional development, and visionary leadership. Successful principals were found to prioritize collaboration, involving all members of the school community in decision-making processes, and building positive relationships with staff, students, and parents. They also placed a strong emphasis on continuous professional development, both for themselves and their staff, and were able to articulate a clear vision for their school and communicate that vision effectively to all stakeholders. The study highlights the importance of effective school leadership in promoting a positive school culture and improving student achievement. The findings suggest that successful school leaders must be able to work collaboratively, build positive relationships, prioritize ongoing professional development, and articulate a clear vision for their school. These characteristics and practices can serve as a guide for aspiring and current school leaders, as well as for those involved in the recruitment and selection of school principals
