Abstract

Making sense on the act of spending is a complicated undertaking in the field of personal finance. Sense-making, in relation to financial expenditure, has emerged as a vital lens to understand the intricacies of spending. Hence, this study investigates the Intra and Extra of spending among the Bachelor of Science in Accountancy (BSA) students of Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion. Specifically, this study explores the intra of spending in terms of preferences and the extra of spending in terms of strategies among the participants  as well as any perspective emerging from the constructs being investigated. Using Creswell’s framework on phenomenological research, five graduating BSA students of Colegio de la Purisima Concepcion were purposively chosen to participate following an inclusion criteria. A researcher-made semi-structured interview questionnaire, used to obtain the participant’s perception, underwent content validation. From the data transcripts that were thematically analyzed emerged three themes as regards the sense-making of spending: external force, internal drive, and value-laden. The sense-making of spending involves external force drawn from the recommendations and influences of others. The sense-making of spending signifies internal drive which stemmed from habits, sense of fulfillment, and priorities of the spender. The sense-making of spending purports value-laden which is shaped by perceptions of financial management and the perceived worth ascribed to purchases. The study recommends the creation of a formation program regarding the sense-making capability vis-a-vis students' responsible spending behaviors choices. Future researchers are recommended to explore varied approaches to further investigate sense-making in spending.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the level of the induction program and the extent of Professional Standards of Performance in Capiz, addressing a gap in literature within the context of Capiz, other school divisions in the region, and the Philippines. The research employed a mixed-method approach using an explanatory sequential design, with 295 participants and eight focus group discussions (FGDs) involving newly hired teachers in the school's division of Capiz. Quantitative data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS Statistics version 26, employing various statistical methods. Qualitative data were analyzed using the descriptive phenomenological approach. The findings revealed that the level of the induction program and the Professional Standards of Performance were "very high evident." Furthermore, age and sex were found to significantly influence the level of the induction program, with older beginning teachers demonstrating a higher level of understanding, and female inductees outnumbering males. Regardless of respondents' profiles, there was no statistically significant difference in the extent of Professional Standards of Performance in Capiz. Additionally, the study established a significant relationship between the level of the induction program and the extent of professional standards of performance in the Schools Division of Capiz. The FGD participants encountered various challenges in their professional journey, leading to the emergence of three themes: feeling challenged, being challenged, and becoming a challenger. These findings provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of the induction program and the professional performance standards in Capiz, shedding light on the experiences and perceptions of newly hired teachers in the region. As a result, it is essential to consistently provide strategic mentoring and thorough professional development that aligns with effective practices as it will significantly enhance the induction program and ensure that it meets professional standards of performance.

Abstract

Leadership is ever-evolving with approaches that employ innovation addressing institutional context-specific challenges while manifesting a level of quality. Employing a mixed-method research approach using explanatory sequential design, this study delves on leadership in the academe to uplift quality education through innovation practices for the development of learners to be globally capable in the future. Hence, this study described, differentiated, and correlated leadership innovation practices and quality education in Capiz as perceived by the 255 randomly selected integrated school teachers and 8 FGD participants coming from the Schools Divisions of Roxas City and Capiz respectively. Frequency, percentage, mean, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson r were used to analyze the data from researcher-made questionnaires while the qualitative data were thematically analyzed. Results showed that leadership innovation practices as manifested by the school heads were significantly manifested through concrete pieces of evidence in addressing, valuing, and designing strategic innovative practices in terms of service, process, and marketing; quality education was comprehended as significantly manifested through policies and considering issues in the educative process reflective of quality in terms of accessibility, pedagogical leadership, and evidence-based practices; leadership innovation practices had a significant difference only when educational attainment of the respondents was considered; the demographics of the respondents did not affect the quality education; and, leadership innovation practices and quality are mutually dependent. Thus, leadership innovation schemes vis-à-vis school-based management strategies may be considered to enhance innovative facets of school management. Future investigation in leadership, innovation, and quality education is further recommended. Â
