Abstract

Despite the prevalence of sandwich generation Filipino women in the Philippines, their nuanced and unique experiences of being caught in the middle of two or more generations remain an understudied social phenomenon. The present study is a phenomenological research study that aimed to investigate the lived experiences of sandwich generation Filipino women and how they made sense of their circumstances amid the backdrop of intergenerational caregiving and the associated burden they carry. The study utilized purposive sampling in gathering eight sandwich generation Filipino women participants living in Metro Manila, who were later interviewed through one-on-one, in-depth interviews. Data was then transcribed and analyzed through thematic analysis; wherein significant themes were generated to produce meaningful narratives depicting intergenerational caregiving among sandwich generation Filipino women. Specifically, the findings of the study revealed that these women assume the primary caregiver role and fulfill domestic along with economic responsibilities due to a perceived sense of responsibility to pay back or help their families coupled with gender roles and norms. It is a deliberate choice that they make daily as they go through both rewarding and challenging experiences. In moving forward, they aspire for the future generation to have more agency and autonomy over their lives. The study shed light on the struggles of sandwich generation Filipino women, hence providing information on how different entities can pave the way for the increased visibility of unpaid care work and upholding Filipino women’s full rights.

Abstract

The group-level assessment (GLA) is a type of participatory evaluation that involves stakeholders in generating themes and action plans in the process. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the on-campus practice teaching program at a university laboratory high school (LHSU) using GLA. Since 2006, fourth-year students pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Science Teaching have participated in on-campus practice teaching at LHSU. The absence of systematic feedback collection and comprehensive evaluation has led to program supervision relying on anecdotal experiences and observations by LHSU coordinators and cooperating teachers (CTs). This study addresses this gap by aiming to identify strengths, needs, areas for improvement, and action plans generated by stakeholders. Employing a qualitative participatory design through GLA, 16 stakeholders participated, providing data through responses to open-ended prompts. Recognized strengths include the program’s role in translating theoretical knowledge into real-world teaching scenarios, while needs involve establishing on-campus teaching colloquia and a resource hub for teaching and learning materials. An identified area for improvement is enhancing feedback mechanisms. Stakeholders proposed action plans, including establishing partnerships with local and international teacher education institutions, and establishing a department for the mathematics and science teaching program. This study makes a substantial contribution by enhancing the quality of teacher preparation programs in mathematics and science education. Furthermore, this study serves as a valuable reference for future researchers engaged in the evaluation of practice teaching or education programs using GLA.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between sleep quality and quantity and emotion regulation strategies among 281 college students from a college of the University of the Philippines Los Banos. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire that included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Findings indicated that participants had an average of 7.04 hours of sleep, considered sufficient in quantity, but poor in quality (mean PSQI = 8.20). Most students used cognitive reappraisal more frequently than expressive suppression. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that better sleep quality and quantity were generally associated with increased use of cognitive reappraisal. The findings underscore the need to support students’ sleep health and promote adaptive emotion regulation strategies to enhance overall well-being.
