Abstract

This study explored how e-learning influences the development of forensic chemistry skills and professional preparedness among criminology students in the Philippines. A convergent parallel mixed-methods design was utilized, incorporating a quantitative survey with 300 participants and qualitative interviews with students enrolled in a forensic chemistry course. The survey instrument, adapted from existing measures, was subjected to content validation and pilot testing, showing high internal consistency (α=0.86). Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlations, and regression analyses, whereas qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicated that students had favorable views of e-learning in forensic chemistry, valued multimedia resources, and recognized both challenges and opportunities. A strong positive correlation (ρ=0.754, p=0.001) was identified between perceptions of e-learning and readiness to use e-learning tools, with readiness significantly influencing positive perceptions (R=0.708+0.806). Qualitative themes such as enrichment, utilization, enhancement, resources, and foundation underscored the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning in forensic chemistry education. The study concludes that well-crafted e-learning platforms can effectively connect theoretical knowledge with practical skills, improving students' comprehension and critical thinking. However, the absence of hands-on laboratory experience remains a significant limitation. The findings suggest that a blended learning approach, which combines e-learning with traditional practical training, is crucial for a thorough forensic chemistry education. Future research should broaden the study's scope, conduct longitudinal studies, and investigate hybrid learning models to enhance the effectiveness of e-learning in forensic chemistry education.

Abstract

This study assessed the implementation of city ordinances in a highly urbanized city in the Philippines and their implications for public safety and security. A quantitative descriptive research design was employed, with data collected from 149 respondents, comprising police officers, barangay officials, and community residents, using a self-administered survey questionnaire. The findings revealed a strong consensus among the three groups, who rated the implementation of community service, issuance of violation receipts, filing of cases, and reporting procedures as "Highly Implemented." Common violations, such as curfew breaches, public smoking, and drinking in public, were identified as persistent challenges. ANOVA results confirmed no significant differences in the assessments of the three groups, indicating a unified perception of ordinance enforcement’s effectiveness. This study highlights the importance of collaborative efforts among law enforcement, local officials, and the community in maintaining public order. Recommendations include developing an integrated digital management system to strengthen documentation, reporting, and public engagement, as well as fostering continuous collaboration with local communities and organizations to enhance trust and actively participate in upholding public safety. The findings contribute to the understanding of effective urban governance strategies and align with the principles of the "Safe City" framework, emphasizing the significance of data-driven, technology-enabled approaches in ensuring sustained public safety and security in complex urban environments.
