Abstract

The predominance of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI) models on the web poses significant effects on the learning habits of the students at a state university due to its convenience in terms of access, grammar correction, paraphrasing text, and generating ideas. As a result, these features of Gen AI models have been the cause of the dissented researchers’ conclusion, and teachers raise concerns regarding their possible disadvantages to the students. Several researchers have shown the advantages and disadvantages of using Gen AI models in the academic endeavors of students. Hence, this study determined the relationship between exposure to Gen AI tools and the English writing proficiency of freshmen students specializing in the English language under an education program in a state university in the northern part of Panay Island in the Philippines. The descriptive correlation design was utilized to examine the relationship between two variables. A validated researcher-made questionnaire and essay writing performance test were used to gather the students’ profiles and to measure their English writing proficiency, respectively. Results revealed that the majority of the freshmen education students specializing in English language were female, most have used the Gen AI tool Quillbot but have low exposure to other Gen AI tools, and a moderately satisfactory rating in their English writing proficiency. It further established that the English writing proficiency has no or negligible relationship with their exposure to Gen AI tools.

Abstract

Given the low ranking of Filipino children in reading, science, and mathematics at the latest 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), and the lack of empirical evidence about multimodal instruction of teachers and the development of soft skills of students, this mixed methods study looked into the transformative impact of multimodal instruction on the development of soft skills of students such as communication, flexibility, and leadership. It will also track the influence of soft skills on student outcomes such as employability, academic success, and personal growth. Survey questionnaires were used to effectively assess and monitor the data given by the respondents and a five-point Likert Scale was utilized to establish a clear conclusion of the variables. Semi-structured interviews with open-ended questions were conducted to reassure the quantitative findings. Results of the descriptive statistics showed that all of the variables met the highest mean, strongly agreeing with statements from each variable and was further reinforced by the qualitative analysis from the respondents. Moreover, it was found out that pre-service teachers prefer to use videos and animations, as their main multimodal instruction, to illustrate complex concepts visually. Next is incorporating visual diagrams, mind influence maps, or conceptual maps, and third but not least, applying hands-on activities and experiments for tactile learners. Thus, it concludes that multimodal instruction paves the path for attaining soft skills and that soft skills highly influence student outcomes.

Abstract

This mixed-method study compared the efficacy of Pomodoro and Flowtime study techniques as described by students in a state university. Quantitative data were gathered from 108 respondents, while the qualitative data were supplied by 12 participants through a virtual interview. Results revealed that the majority of the respondents preferred the Pomodoro technique for its structured intervals, stress-reducing breaks, and productivity tracking, with its rigid scheduling noted as a limitation; a minority favored the Flowtime technique for its immersive focus and task engagement, yet less effectiveness when motivation was low. Quantitative data support that the Pomodoro technique is more effective than the Flowtime technique in terms of memory retention, academic performance, and time management. Conversely, Pomodoro is less effective in terms of focus, flexibility, and motivation. Qualitative analysis, however, revealed that the Pomodoro technique is effective in structured environments, especially for those who need uninterrupted focus, even if the Flowtime technique proves its efficacy for deep work and creativity, except in less controlled environments.
