Abstract

Purpose: This study seeks to deconstruct the complex factors underlying the conflict between local miners, the Ada East District Assembly, and Electrochem Ghana by applying a Political Ecology framework. Research methodology: A qualitative analysis and the Political Ecology theoretical lens are used to examine underlying factors of the case. It draws on empirical evidence from similar conflicts in the region; and contextualizes the Ada East situation within broader patterns of industrial resource extraction and their impact on local economies. Results: Two core theses of Political Ecology emerge as most relevant to the case: (1) Power and Access to Resources, which examines how control over natural resources by corporations can marginalize local people and (2) Environmental Justice, which highlights the disproportionate socio-environmental costs borne by local communities. Conclusions: This study concludes that the conflict between local miners, the Ada East District Assembly and Electrochem Ghana is deeply rooted in competing interests over resource control, governance dynamics, and socio-environmental inequalities, as illuminated through the lens of Political Ecology. Limitations: The analysis is limited to secondary data from comparable cases, which vary in contextual specifics. Contribution: The study contributes to the literature on Political Ecology by demonstrating how this framework can be applied to assess real-world conflicts over resource access and industrial expansion. It also emphasizes the importance of equitable governance and sustainable resource management in mitigating such conflicts.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the extent of acculturation and its relationship with the cultural practices of Manobo learners in Damulog, Bukidnon, focusing on assimilation, integration, and marginalization. Research methodology: A descriptive and correlational research design was used. The study utilized a researcher-made survey questionnaire administered to 300 Grade 10 Manobo learners across four secondary schools in the Damulog area of Bukidnon. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The study revealed that Manobo learners often experience acculturation in terms of assimilation, integration, and marginalization. Their cultural practices in the economic, social, political, and spiritual aspects were also evident. A moderate positive relationship was found between the extent of acculturation and the level of cultural practices among the learners, suggesting that higher levels of acculturation are associated with stronger cultural practices. These findings imply that acculturation influences how Manobo learners maintain their cultural heritage while adapting to new societal influences. Conclusions: Indonesia’s BRICS membership can bolster national defence and strategic autonomy if managed with diplomatic prudence. A balanced foreign policy is essential to leverage the advantages of BRICS while preserving partnerships with Western powers and the ASEAN allies. Investment in cybersecurity, military modernization, and defence diplomacy is crucial for long-term stability. Limitations: This study is limited to Grade 10 Manobo learners in Damulog, Bukidnon, and may not represent other Indigenous groups or age levels. Self-reported data may also introduce bias, and external factors, such as socioeconomic background, were not fully examined. Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of how acculturation impacts the cultural practices of Indigenous learners, particularly in educational settings.

Abstract

Purpose: This study explored factors affecting students’ enrolment in young universities, focusing particularly on one young university in Zimbabwe. Young universities are experiencing enrolment challenges, which involve investigating the causal factors for sustainable development and operations of the universities. Research methodology: The study adopted the interpretivist paradigm and used a combination of qualitative approaches for data collection and analysis within a case study design. The study’s sample comprised ten heads of department, one admissions registrar and forty-eight students purposively selected from a young university. In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were used to generate the data. The data were analyzed using a directed content analysis approach. Results: The study revealed that students’ university enrolment is affected mainly by students’ experiences, career orientations, changes in high school graduate preferences, admissions process, transport, accommodation, programmes offered, competition in university education, social capital variables, government policy, cost of education, and disasters. Conclusions: The revealed key stakeholders influencing students’ enrolment in young universities reflected strategies that can be used to increase students’ enrolment, chiefly public awareness, academic support, and student support services. Limitations: While this study adopted a qualitative methodology, which can be a limiting factor in terms of inference, for further research, the study recommends the adoption of a quantitative method. Contribution: This study recommends that universities strategically plan for student enrolment using a multi-stakeholder approach. The study also recommends that the government adequately fund university development and ensure that university education is affordable to everyone.

Abstract

Purpose: The study examined the impact of teacher pedagogical skills and teacher attendance on students' foundational literacy and numeracy performance in eight sampled basic schools across four districts in Northern Ghana. Methodology/approach: Using a mixed-methods approach, a total of 216 school visits were conducted, with 120 lessons observed. Results/findings: Results from the study revealed that most teachers in the Kumbungu district were rated either distinguishable or proficient, and the majority in Nanton, Savelugu, and Tolon were rated proficient. The mean scores showed that teachers in Tolon were lagging in some pedagogical skills. Regression analyses revealed that both teacher attendance and teacher pedagogical skills were significant determinants of students’ academic performance, especially in facilitating learners to achieve excellent grades. The qualitative findings also revealed that teacher attendance influenced students’ academic performance and attendance, which may eventually lead to a high rate of school dropout in the long run. Conclusion: Teacher attendance and teacher pedagogical skills play significant roles in student academic performance in literacy and numeracy even though there may be other contributing factors. Essentially, all stakeholders in education should adopt holistic approaches in addressing identified obstacles to improving learning outcomes. Limitations: The study considered only grades 1 to 3 teachers in eight schools and hence extending to other grades in these schools could have revealed diverse findings. Contribution: The study advances knowledge on the impact of teachers’ pedagogical skills and attendance on the academic performance of students and also inform policy makers to implement policies to address associated challenges.

Abstract

Purpose: This study assessed the level of implementation of the National Drug Education Program (NDEP) and the extent of stakeholder engagement in the Barkada Kontra Droga (BKD) initiatives in Region XII. It also examined the relationship between these two components to support the development of continuity programs in school-based drug prevention. Methodology/approach: A descriptive-correlational design was employed using a validated, researcher-made questionnaire administered to 388 school heads and NDEP coordinators across eight divisions in Region XII. Data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Spearman’s rank correlation. Results/findings: The NDEP was highly implemented across curriculum and instruction, co-curricular activities, teacher and staff involvement, parent education, and research evaluation. Stakeholder engagement in BKD was also reported to a great extent, particularly in implementation and campaign initiatives. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.68, p = 0.000) was found between NDEP implementation and stakeholder engagement. Conclutions: Greater NDEP implementation appears to support stronger stakeholder involvement in BKD initiatives. School-community collaboration remains central to sustaining preventive education. Limitations: The study was limited to school heads and NDEP coordinators and relied on self-reported data from a single time point. Future studies should include broader stakeholders and track long-term outcomes. Contribution: The study affirms the importance of strengthening implementation strategies to encourage broader participation in drug prevention efforts across schools and communities.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the level of implementation of the Child-Friendly School System (CFSS) in the three city divisions of SOCCSKSARGEN and its relationship with learners' well-being. This study aimed to determine whether the CFSS contributes to positive emotional and educational experiences among learners. Research methodology: Using a descriptive-correlational design, the study gathered data from 237 respondents, including teachers, child protection coordinators, guidance counselors, and SSLG advisers from selected large, medium, and small schools in General Santos City, Koronadal City, and Tacurong City. The data collection instruments were based on DepEd Order No. 44, s. 2015, and a validated learner well-being scale. The statistical tools used included the mean and Pearson's r. Results: The findings revealed a high level of CFSS implementation across schools, with the highest teacher morale and academic success ratings. Learners’ well-being was also rated moderately across five domains: engagement, perseverance, optimism, connectedness, and happiness. A strong positive correlation (r = 0.6058, p < 0.05) was found between CFSS implementation and learner well-being. Conclusions: Stronger CFSS implementation is linked to better learner well-being, highlighting the importance of supportive and inclusive school environments. Limitations: The findings are limited to selected public secondary schools in SOCCSKSARGEN and rely on self-reported data, which may reflect subjective perceptions of the respondents. Broader generalizations beyond this region should be approached with caution. Contribution: This study provides empirical support for the CFSS as a critical approach to promoting student well-being and positive school outcomes. It also highlights the importance of sustained involvement of stakeholders.
