Abstract

Understanding the factors that influence students' perceptions may also assist administrators in making informed decisions about course and organizational design, as well as guiding professional development workshops for instructors. The goal of this sentiment analysis was to describe students' opinions about teachers' teaching performance in online classes. It sought to ascertain the most frequently occurring words in relation to their sentiments, as well as the emerging clusters derived from their sentiments. This study used a descriptive qualitative method employing sentiment analysis of Orange text mining software. Sentiment analysis extracts information from positive and negative words in text, from the context of those words, and from the linguistic structure of the text. The 237 college students were the participants of this study. The findings show that the emerging clusters derived from the sentiments of the students were the teachers facilitate learning and motivate students to learn. Teachers act as facilitator and motivator of students to learn in online classes. The teaching performance of the teachers can be manifested in how they facilitate the teaching-learning process and how they give feedbacks and motivations to students. Consequently, the teaching performance of the teachers in online classes is one of the indicators of the students’ sentiments. This implied that, once the teacher performed very well in the class, students become satisfied and perform better in the class.

Abstract

This qualitative study unraveled the lived experiences among Grade-10 (Wisdom) Students of Tuyan National High School in playing the mobile word game 4 Pics 1 Word. The data were gathered through one-on-one interviews using researcher-made questionnaires and analyzed using the Braun and Clarke (2006) six-phase framework for doing thematic analysis, particularly semantic and latent approaches. Based on the findings of the study, the themes that emerged from the students' responses were: challenged, engaged, enhanced critical thinking skills, and increased vocabulary skills which show that students have varied learning experiences. Moreover, the study found that the students’ experiences in playing the word game helped them develop an interest in learning new words, increase their self-confidence in expressing themselves, improved analyzation skills, and improved reading comprehension skills. This implies that their gamified learning experience helped them improve their vocabulary skills and attitudes toward learning vocabulary. Further, this study concludes that gamified learning, surrogated with image presentations, is lucrative to students' experiences in learning vocabulary thus gamified teaching of vocabulary should be imposed.

Abstract

If philosophy, on one hand, has so many followers and believers, on the other hand, it has critics and opponents. The ones who criticize are usually mullahs and slightly educated ones. They assume that Sufis’ acts and views do not have any place in Islamic Sharia. The acts and views which are criticized by them are the raqs (dance) and sama (singing), going to shrines and considering it a way of being close to Allah and of accepting prayer, respecting their Pirs and Murshids to the rank of worship, giving a special dhikr to his murids and specifying a special number to it by the Pir, and etc. This article is written in the light of holy Islamic Sharia aiming to answer such criticisms and objections, so they also reach the true and original reality based on it. The contents and conclusion of this article prove that various criticisms and objections, which they have against Sufism, have no base and origin of Islamic Sharia. In fact, the source of the mentioned criticisms and objections comes from personal complexes and beliefs. Therefore, this article tries to analyze and clarify this issue in the light of first hand references of Islamic Sharia, so they take the message that the evidence that they try to use as proof, the Sufi and theosophist also use it as proof; however, the only difference is that they and the Sufis draw different conclusions from it. Researching this issue is important because people are going away from the spirituality and coming closer to materiality at this time and they should not do this because love with materiality causes the destruction of life in the world and the hereafter. This is a library research and its method is analytical and descriptive.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and validate the Grade 7 English lessons with GCED using phenomenon-based learning (PhenoBL). The local and global phenomena were used in the GCED integration in the lessons. Conducted in a public school in the Philippines during the school year 2019-2020 using the descriptive method and documentary analysis, this study specifically developed a curriculum guide for mainstreaming GCED in Grade 7 English, developed sample phenomenon-based GCED-enriched Grade 7 English lessons, and assessed and analyzed these sample lessons. Data gathering strategies included focus group discussion, a workshop on developing the lessons, collaborative critiquing of the lessons, assessing the lessons by validators, and analysis of the final lessons. A validated researcher-made rubric was used to assess the lessons in terms of appropriateness of GCED integration, relevance to the curriculum, flexibility of GCED integration, and significance of the theme, both the GCED integrated and the phenomenon or phenomena focused in the lesson. Findings indicate that the proposed curriculum guide for the mainstreaming of GCED in Grade 7 English lessons using a phenomenon-based learning approach is highly acceptable while the proposed phenomenon-based GCED-enriched Grade 7 lessons are very good instructional resources for teaching about and for global citizenship. The validators’ feedback improved the phenomenon-based GCED-enriched Grade 7 English lessons. Critical themes and local and global phenomena covered in the lessons are helpful in emphasizing GCED. Recommendations to disseminate and utilize the validated phenomenon-based GCED-enriched lessons and conduct a study to determine the effectiveness of the lessons are forwarded.

The specific objectives of the study are: (1) Identify phenomena suggested for GCED-enriched Grade 6 English lessons; (2) Develop GCED-enriched lessons in Grade 6 English using a phenomenon-based learning approach; (3) Identify the teaching strategies used in the GCED integration; and (4) Identify the teacher's insights based on his experiences in implementing the lessons. Methods for data collection were documentary analysis of the phenomenon-based GCED-enriched Grade 6 lessons, focus group discussion, workshop, in-depth individual interviews (IDI), analysis of teacher’s reflection notes, and class observations. The suggested phenomena consisted of local and global issues focusing on environmental and climate change, gender and development, identity and diversity, government and politics, and peace and conflict. The grade 6 English lessons can be easily integrated with GCED using local and global phenomena. Varied strategies that are aligned with phenomenon-based learning and active learning can be used for teaching English enriched with GCED. The teacher's insights on the teaching of GCED in Grade 6 English lessons using local and global phenomena can serve as a useful and practical guide in the design and implementation of GCED-enriched lessons. Implementing a whole-school approach to embracing GCED and action options to promote GCED in instructional practices are recommended.
