Abstract

This study explores the self-regulated learning (SRL) experiences of eight working students from a state universiry in Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines. The research investigates how these students perceive and practice SRL using a phenomenological approach and semi-structured interviews. Findings reveal that working students view SRL as beneficial to their learning and employ strategies such as planning, implementing learning plans, and evaluating their performance. However, they also face individual and external challenges that hinder the effective e application of SRL. The study highlights the need for educational institutions, student support services, and policymakers to foster a positive learning environment that supports the holistic and inclusive learning needs of working students. Understanding SRL among working students is crucial in the context of the Philippine education system, particularly in a blended learning setup where students must balance academic, employment, and personal responsibilities.

Abstract

This study investigates the narratives of contemporary romance among Filipino LGBTQ+ emerging adults, emphasizing their lived experiences, modern influences, and cultural determinants that form their relationships. A qualitative phenomenological design was employed to conduct semi-structured interviews with eight participants from a state institution in Laguna, Philippines. The findings indicated that romantic connections are crucial in identity exploration and self-affirmation. Participants characterized love as a collaboration founded on reciprocal respect, emotional intimacy, and equality, contesting established conventions and heteronormative standards. Digital platforms facilitated connections and provided safe spaces for users; nevertheless, they also engendered obstacles, including false expectations and superficial interactions. Cultural influences, including familial expectations and Catholic ideals, were substantial, offering both obstacles and avenues for growth and authenticity. This study offers insights into the interplay between identity, culture, and love; but, its limited sample size and concentration on a particular university restrict its generalizability. Future research ought to investigate many contexts, encompassing rural regions and a wider array of socioeconomic demographics, while analyzing the changing influence of technology on LGBTQ+ relationships. This study emphasizes the resilience of Filipino LGBTQ+ emerging adults and advocates for inclusive legislation and community assistance to foster acceptance and equality.
