Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the level of academic pressure experienced by university scholars in the Philippines across five dimensions: self-expectation, workload, despondency, study-related pressure, and worry about grades. Additionally, it examined the scholars' formation of health habits in six areas: water intake, rest, physical activity, nutrition/diet, temperance, and overall physical condition. The study also explored the relationship between academic pressure and health habits. Findings revealed that the scholars experienced a relatively high level of academic pressure, with self-expectation emerging as the most significant source. Conversely, the scholars exhibited a low level of healthy practices, particularly in the area of rest, which was identified as the least practiced health habit. On a positive note, temperance was highlighted as the most favorable health behavior, reflecting the scholars' ability to exercise moderation.

Abstract

Though the concept of subordination has been explored in the context of L1 and L2 speakers of English language, more attention has been on the leaners of higher education. Against this background, the present paper set out to explore the use of finite dependent clauses by Mahlabatheng High School Grade 11 students where the main objective is to examine the extent to which the learners portray their ability to use finite dependent clauses and to also investigate whether they are able to use different types of such clauses. In order to achieve this objective, the study applied both qualitative and quantitative research methods, which included analysis of data obtained from students’ sample essays. The study used a combination of convenience and purposive sampling to select a sample of twenty-five students from whom the data was collected. The findings of the study revealed that students are able to demonstrate their ability to use the finite dependent clauses as on average, 96 percent of the total population were able to use finite dependent clauses in their writing and they used different types. The results further demonstrated that most students did not use the nominal clauses as compared to the other types of finite dependent clauses. The study, therefore, concludes that Mahlabatheng High School Grade 11 learners have ability to use finite dependent clauses. However, the recommendation is that more focus should be put on the nominal clauses.

Abstract

The present study looked into the effects of linguistic imperialism, specifically, the dominance of English, on the preservation and revitalization of indigenous languages in Iraq. Tapping into a phenomenological study, using interviews, the study recruited 30 students enrolled at a university in Baghdad, majoring in different fields of study. Half of the participants were Assyrian and half were Armenian native speakers, with an age range of 20-22 years old and equal numbers of male and female. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data through open, axial, and selective coding. The linguistic imperialism has impacted Assyrian and Armenian languages in Iraq in a very complex manner. These villages are resistant, and through different cultural activities or family traditions, they try to keep their languages alive; however, the prevalence of English in schools makes the young generation feel displaced. This is the pressure that makes them give more importance to English, leading to lesser exposure and fluency in Assyrian and Armenian-especially now, when the education system is giving more emphasis to English, besides Arabic. The given study underlines urgent policy changes to be made for the promotion and support of indigenous languages in Iraq. The current policies need a re-evaluation in order to keep the life preserved, which gives priority to Arabic and English. Inclusion of indigenous languages into education, resource allocation for learning a language, and the use of social media for revitalization are the crucial steps toward preserving these treasures.

Abstract

As online, blended, and face-to-face instruction modalities are getting more popular, reflective approaches to instruction could improve learning outcomes in the Philippines. This shift demands that educational approaches be critically reevaluated. Enhancing the quality of instruction in the Araling Panlipunan subject requires an understanding of teachers' reflective approach-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP). Offering insights into current use in the Philippine educational setting, this study examines the KAP of Araling Panlipunan teachers toward reflective teaching. Using a sequential mixed-methods research design, the study first collected quantitative data via questionnaires, then collected qualitative data from 50 teacher respondents through semi-structured interviews. The results show a "Very High" degree of knowledge and a positive attitude toward reflective approaches, especially in debates and essays. The curriculum's focus on material, however, limits opportunities for critical thinking, making it difficult for students to use these methods effectively. The suggested Learning Action Cell (LAC) programs seek to improve teacher skills through collaborative problem-solving, sharing of knowledge, and training to address these challenges. According to the study, professional development and resource allocation can greatly enhance teaching quality by incorporating workshops focused on reflective teaching and encouraging peer support, which would ultimately promote student learning and teacher development.

Abstract

This research tries to examine the semantic discrepancies of religious terms in both English and Arabic, concentrating on the implications of such differences for translation, intercultural communication, and understanding of such terms. Religious terminology often symbolizes deep cultural, historical, and theological nuances, which can lead to divergent interpretations when translated between these two languages. The study adopts a contrastive semantic analysis approach, identifying key terms within Islamic and Christian traditions, and analyzing their linguistic, contextual, and cultural dimensions. It highlights how religious terms in Arabic could carry layered meanings that are not fully captured by their English counterparts. Conversely, English religious terms might encompass theological connotations that may lack equivalent expressions in Arabic. This paper aims to provide insights into the difficulties of religious translation to shed light and address these semantic gaps, fostering better intercultural understanding and preserving the integrity of the original terms.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the connection of parental involvement and digital competence in educational setting and how they are influenced by academic commitment. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the levels of parental involvement, digital competence, and academic commitment, and identify the major links and intervening effects among these variables. Descriptive-correlational design is employed in this study and targeted a total of three hundred (300) respondents. The researcher used a stratified random sampling technique using Slovin’s formula to get the ideal sample size targeting 18 years old and above senior high school students in three public secondary schools in Loreto, Agusan del Sur. In person meetings are used to administer questionnaires to ensure reliability of the data. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study’s results indicated that there were high levels of parental involvement, digital competence and academic commitment. Parental Involvement had a significant relationship with academic commitment, also digital competence had a significant relationship with academic commitment. Furthermore, this means that parental involvement and digital competence predicts academic commitment as indicated by the correlation analysis. The study implies that the combination of high parental involvement and proficient digital competence in teaching forms a supportive framework that significantly boosts students’ academic commitment. Therefore, the study indicates that collaborative effort between parents and educators a conducive learning environment. Parents should provide encouragement, model positive behaviors, and attend school meetings; teachers should undergo professional development in digital literacy.

Abstract

Reading comprehension plays a vital role in a student's success, and improving this skill is a key goal for teachers. This study investigates the effectiveness of using instructional music videos to help struggling readers at President Quirino National High School enhance their reading comprehension. The aim was to determine whether music videos could help students better understand and retain what they read. Before the intervention, the reading was valued of both Group A and Group B were fair. Group A had an average score of 15.76, while Group B scored slightly higher with 15.84 out of 30. After the instructional music videos were introduced, both groups took several tests to track their progress. Using ANOVA to analyse the data, the study found significant differences in the test scores of both groups. Group B, which was exposed to the music video intervention, showed a notable improvement, scoring higher than Group A. These findings suggest that instructional music videos can be an effective tool for improving reading comprehension skills. By using music videos, struggling readers were able to better engage with the material and increase their understanding. This study highlights the potential of incorporating multimedia tools in education to support students' learning and help them succeed in reading comprehension.

Abstract

Board examinations play a vital role in the academic journey of students and significantly influence teachers' responsibilities. However, the current examination system has been criticized for contributing to student stress, anxiety, inconsistent grading, and over-reliance on rote learning, which has led to a decline in public trust. To address these challenges, the introduction of conducting board examination twice a year, recommended by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and National Curriculum Framework-School Education (NCF-SE)2023 represents a major reform in the education system. This study investigates the perspectives of stakeholders on conducting board examinations twice a year in Khurda district, Odisha, India. A descriptive research design and survey method were employed, with a randomly selected sample consisting of schools, head-teachers, teachers, and students. The total sample comprised 10 head-teachers, 100 teachers, and 200 students. The findings indicate that 78.18% of participants believe board examinations twice a year would reduce student stress, 81.81% agree it provides better preparation opportunities, and 86.36% think frequent and timely feedback fosters academic growth. However, 50% of stakeholders expressed concerns about increased teacher workload. Students supported conducting board examinations twice a year, believing it would encourage consistent study habits, reduced stress, and fostered a growth mindset. However, concerns were raised about resource inequalities benefiting well-supported students. These results underscore the potential benefits and challenges of implementing board examinations twice a year, offering valuable insights for policymakers and educators in shaping future examination reforms.

Abstract

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë is a Gothic masterpiece that intricately explores love, vengeance, class, and identity within the desolate Yorkshire moors. Religion emerges as a complex force shaped by the characters' moral, social, and psychological landscapes. Using Gothic Criticism and a comparative religious approach, this study examines how Christianity, Judaism, and Islam influence the novel’s themes and conflicts. At the heart of this exploration is Heathcliff, a figure straddling humanity and Satanism. His defiance of divine authority and supernatural bond with Catherine position him as both a Gothic antihero and a theological enigma. Through characters like Heathcliff, Joseph, and Catherine, Brontë questions faith, free will, and morality, challenging Christian traditions. The study analyses religious elements in the novel, highlighting faith as both a source of comfort and control. The final chapter scrutinizes Heathcliff’s ambiguous identity through scriptural references and Gypsy traditions, assessing his human and devilish aspects. By examining Gothic elements alongside religious themes, this research reveals the profound spiritual and existential dilemmas embedded in Wuthering Heights. Ultimately, it argues that religion is not merely a backdrop but a central force shaping character identities, conflicts, and resolutions in Brontë’s dark and tumultuous narrative.
