Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of immersive simulation tools in enhancing hands-on learning, engagement, and practical skills among Bachelor of Technical Vocational Teacher Education (BTVTEd) Electrical Technology students. Recognizing the challenges of traditional laboratory-based training, such as safety risks, limited resources, and restricted practice opportunities, the study explores how immersive technologies can address these limitations. Utilizing a mixed-methods research design, the study combines quantitative approaches, including pre-test and post-test assessments and surveys, with qualitative methods, such as focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, to comprehensively evaluate the tools' impact. Conducted in a teacher education institution in Ilocos Norte, the study involves third-year electrical technology students and their instructors. Results indicate that immersive simulation tools significantly improve students’ practical skills, as evidenced by a statistically significant increase in post-test scores. Both students and instructors perceive these tools as highly effective and user-friendly, emphasizing their ability to simplify complex concepts, enhance skill acquisition, and foster confidence. The tools also provide realistic and safe environments for practicing high-risk tasks, such as working with high-voltage equipment, reducing safety concerns while promoting deeper learning. However, challenges such as technical issues, limited access to equipment, high costs, and the need for training are identified as barriers to broader adoption. The study concludes that immersive simulation tools are a transformative innovation in technical education, offering safer, more engaging, and effective learning experiences.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of the Scan-and-Learn Mobile App in enhancing Grade 7 students’ learning outcomes in Technical and Vocational Education (TVE), focusing on their knowledge and skills related to kitchen tools and equipment. The research addresses the challenge of limited access to physical resources in schools by exploring how mobile learning technology can support teaching and learning in resource-constrained environments. Using descriptive research methods, data were collected from 71 student respondents through surveys that included both closed-ended and open-ended questions. The responses were analyzed using weighted means to evaluate the app’s impact across five components: knowledge, skills, engagement and motivation, perceived usefulness, and satisfaction. The findings reveal that the app significantly improves students’ knowledge and understanding of kitchen tools, as well as their practical skills in operating kitchen equipment. Students report high levels of engagement and motivation, emphasizing the app’s interactive features, such as step-by-step instructional videos and scanning tools, as key factors in making learning enjoyable and effective. The app is also perceived as a highly useful supplementary tool for reinforcing classroom learning, providing quick access to information, and fostering independent study. However, the study notes that while the app enhances understanding and skill development, hands-on practice is essential to further improve students’ ability to apply their skills accurately in real-world scenarios. The study concludes that the

Abstract

This study examines the influence of social media food vlog content on students’ attitudes and practices regarding sustainable food waste management and the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) in a public secondary high school in the Ilocos Region, Philippines. Food waste is a significant issue in the country, particularly in schools, where large student populations contribute to the problem. With the growing use of social media among Filipino students, this research explores its potential as a tool to promote sustainable food waste management practices. A mixed-methods approach was employed, collecting data from 66 Senior High School students through surveys and focus group discussions. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation to examine the relationship between students’ exposure to social media content and their 3Rs practices. Thematic analysis of qualitative data explored emotional and motivational factors influencing behavior. Results show that students are moderately exposed to sustainability-related social media content, with platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube as primary sources. Social media content creators positively shape students’ attitudes, increasing awareness, motivation, and confidence. However, students’ engagement often remains passive, with a gap between awareness and consistent 3Rs practices. Emotional and motivational factors, such as feelings of inspiration, guilt, peer influence, and a desire to make a difference, are key drivers of sustainable behavior.
