Abstract

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to determine the Blackboard System's effectiveness on students' academic performance in Araling Panlipunan. Research methodology: The study employed a quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test non-equivalent group design and was entirely quantitative. Seventy (70) Ligaya High School students in Grade 7 who were divided into the control and experimental groups made up the study's subjects. Both groups received instruction on related subjects throughout the first quarter of the Araling Panlipunan grading period. The t-test for dependent and independent samples was the statistical tool employed to evaluate the hypothesis. Results: Results indicate that using the Blackboard System to teach Araling Panlipunan is a more effective approach than using the traditional lecture technique. Further, it has a significant impact on students and learning processes. Teachers also gained great benefits in using this system since it provided them an easy way of tracking student progress reducing a lot of paperwork load. Limitations: This study was limited to only Grade 7 Araling Panlipunan learners in the school year 2019-2020. The duration of the experiment was only focused on the First Quarter grading period. Contribution: One of the key goals of the study is to raise the standard of education by using new technological trends, which will assist them to advance their skills and competencies in technology. Teachers will also benefit from the study to help them improve their craft with the use of effective pedagogy with ICT to cope with the changing world.

Abstract

Purpose: This study provides an analytical framework based on the literature to evaluate the effectiveness of E-learning portals. The study aims to contrast the accessibility of e-learning portals from the perspectives of business and engineering students. Research methodology: Using convenience and snowball sampling methods with the help of Google polls, the data was acquired from 482 students, including engineering and business students. The study used a seven-point Likert-type questionnaire to gather data. The study employed PLS-SEM to do a multi-group analysis and examine group differences. Results: The results revealed user satisfaction predicts the system used for both models. Only e-service quality is the significant predictor of user satisfaction and the system used in the business model, but the system and information qualities are also predictors in the engineering model. Finally, the success of an e-learning portal is positively correlated with user satisfaction and system use. Limitations: This study consists of only a sample of 482 students. Future research may take into account using a bigger sample size. Additionally, this study mostly focused on how students perceived the efficacy of the e-learning portal while ignoring the viewpoints of the instructors and the institution, which may vary. Contribution: Higher administration in Bangladeshi educational institutions will find the study helpful in building policies and plans for the growth of e-learning portals. Novelty:  This work validates the DeLone and McLean Model in the context of Bangladeshi undergraduate students. The study shows how business and engineering students' access to e-learning portals varies.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to critically analyze the potential ramifications of comprehensive assessments on marginalized communities, with a specific focus on Afro-descendant students in the Caribbean/Atlantic region of Costa Rica. It intends to identify the potential effects of these assessments and propose policy and practice adjustments that can enhance their educational outcomes. Research methodology: This research analyzes the recent assessment requirements and the historical background of educational assessments in Costa Rica and explores alternative teaching methods, including culturally responsive pedagogy (CRP) and the impact of the dialect and language continuum. Furthermore, the potential benefits of integrating the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy into the curriculum of all public schools are also investigated. Results: Based on the analysis conducted, recommendations for policy and practice changes to address the potential impact of assessments on Afro-descendant students include creating a culturally responsive curriculum, recognizing non-standard dialects, using alternative assessment approaches, and emphasizing consideration of marginalized communities' needs and experiences in educational policy and practice decisions. Limitations: This review does not provide an empirical investigation but rather synthesizes existing literature and provides recommendations for future research. Contribution: This research significantly contributes to the existing literature on educational policy and practice in marginalized communities, particularly in relation to students of African descent in Costa Rica and suggests ways to improve their educational outcomes. Its insight can be of interest to policymakers, educators, and future researchers in education and social justice.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the depiction of homosexuality in Bitter Eden by Tatamkhulu Afrika, as well as the reasons for its positive or negative portrayal and the attitudes of gays and heterosexuals toward one another. Homosexuality covers homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality, transgender, and other so-called “sexual disorders.” Additionally, it is classified as a psychopathological disorder. Methodology/approach: The work adopted psychological and queer theory. And descriptive and qualitative methods of data analysis were used by grouping and having textual analysis.  Results: In gender studies, feminism (s) and masculinity (ies) are major issues, whereas queer studies, which were long marginalized, are now garnering more attention in the West. However, queerness, particularly homosexuality, has received little creative and critical attention in Africa. As a result, this research would fill a need left by the paucity of literature on the issue. The result of the investigation demonstrates that when it comes to African environments, homosexuality is still weird.  Limitations: The study is limited to one novel, Afrika (2002). Bitter Eden. Contributions: The study revealed that homosexuals are stigmatized in the chosen text. The study concluded that despite the presence of homosexuality in Africa, it is still largely a closet phenomenon.

Abstract

Purpose: The primary goal of this study was to analyze the level of cultural sensitivity and its impact on the performance of secondary school teachers in Buayan District, Division of General Santos City. This study attempted to identify correlations between cultural sensitivity and secondary teacher performance. Research methodology: The research design of this study was descriptive-correlative. Since the design is descriptive, it provides a full discussion and explanation of teachers' cultural sensitivity and its impact on their performance. Furthermore, the study's methodology aimed to identify significant correlations between the variables under investigation. The mean and Pearson product-moment correlations were the statistical measures employed to evaluate the hypotheses. Results: The findings revealed a significant, moderate, and direct relationship between cultural sensitivity and teacher performance. Consequently, strengthening teachers' cultural sensitivity may improve their performance. Limitations: This study was limited to three (3) Buayan District Public Secondary Schools. The variables under consideration were narrowed down because cultural sensitivity is only concerned with the value system, belief system, decision making, and cross-cultural communication. On the other hand, teachers’ performance variables focused only on the teaching and learning processes, student outcomes, and community involvement. Contribution: The findings of this study provide information on teachers' levels of cultural sensitivity as a foundation for improving their performance and developing a curriculum for teaching in various cultures. Novelty: This study's originality focuses on its factors, which integrate cultural sensitivity and teachers’ performance. This research aids in determining the impact of teachers' cultural sensitivity on their performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive skill instruction on pupils with mild intellectual disability retention in spelling exercises, retaining poems, and letter recognition. Research methodology: Research questions and hypotheses were formulated as a part of the methodology. This study used a non-equivalent pre-test, post-test, experimental, and control group design. Working memory is the cognitive skill chosen by the researchers. Flash cards, 100 frequency words, and the working rating scale were used to measure working memory in order to examine the cognitive skills of retention of pupils with mild intellectual disability. The study included ten (10) pupils. While the other five pupils comprised the control group, they did not receive any intervention strategy. Five of the ten pupils were in the experimental group and received an intervention package. The instrument was reliable with a reliability index of 0.85 and was valid for its intended use in measuring the required area. Six weeks were spent on the treatment. The t-test for independent samples was used to examine the treatment results. Results: The study's findings showed that parents had an impact on their children's cognitive development and abilities, and special educators had a significant impact on a child's ability to remain in school. Limitations: The researchers suggest that cognitive skill instruction should be implemented in educational settings. Contribution: This research will provide special educators, parents, and the government with information on how well cognitive skills can help students with mild intellectual disability retain information.
