Abstract

Purpose – This study aims to determine the extent of formal instruction or guidance on research formatting among college students, as well as the availability of resources to assist them in addressing research formatting issues in a state university in the Philippines. The research intends to inform the development of standardized and effective research guidelines for higher education institutions. Methodology – The study employed a descriptive qualitative design using semi-structured interviews. Fifteen (15) purposively selected student research leaders participated in the interview process. Stringent research protocols and ethical considerations were strictly followed. Data from the interview transcripts were analyzed using Clarke and Braun’s thematic analysis approach to identify recurring patterns and insights. Findings – The results reveal that the degree of formal instruction on research formatting significantly influences students’ ability to manage and complete their research projects, impacting both efficiency and quality. Identified challenges include limited guidance, inconsistent formatting standards, and resource constraints. Key strategies to overcome these challenges include faculty mentoring, accessible support systems, and standardized institutional policies. Novelty – This study provides an in-depth exploration of research formatting challenges from the perspective of student research leaders—an often underrepresented group in academic discourse—highlighting the interplay between formal instruction, resource access, and research productivity. Significance – The findings serve as a valuable reference for higher education administrators, faculty, and policymakers in crafting research guidelines that enhance students’ efficiency, reduce anxiety, and foster innovation in research practices.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: What teachers say in class affects learners' behaviours and understanding. As a harbinger of equitable and transformative education, teachers are mandated to promote sensitivity and inclusivity, making it imperative to conduct studies contextualizing preparatory practices to equip future teachers (pre-service teachers) in fostering inclusive education and social inclusion as part of their internship program. Methodology: The study examines the challenges experienced, strategic measures applied, and instructional resources utilized by pre-service teachers in promoting language sensitivity practices among public secondary schools during their student teaching program through the lens of descriptive qualitative (exploratory study) research. Fifteen (15) pre-service teachers acting as team leaders in their respective schools in the City of Balanga and Bataan, Philippines, handling Grades 7 to 10 students, are purposively selected as key informants for the interview. Upon validation of the research instrument, data gathering commenced, assuring compliance with stringent research protocols (i.e., anonymity, consent, and data confidentiality). Thematic analysis, proposed by Braun and Clarke (2006), is employed for the data analysis. Main Findings: The findings reveal that teaching language sensitivity faces key challenges, including a lack of awareness, peer influence, and the normalization of insensitive language. Such challenges may implicate character education initiatives, specifically in catapulting the roles of student-teachers as agents of social value formation. However, strategies to address such challenges are evident, such as vocabulary building, creating safe learning environments, and experiential learning. Instructional resources range from visual aids and reflective writing to multimedia resources and interactive activities. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study posits novelty in its approach in contextualizing language sensitivity endeavors through the lens of pre-service teachers to intensify technical assistance during their internship program
