In today’s fast-paced and competitive job market, the capacity to adapt to career changes and challenges is essential for long-term success. Transitioning from academia to a professional career can be challenging for learners. Career adaptability is a trait that students utilise to navigate uncertainty in the workplace. Although numerous studies compared working and non-working students, few have specifically examined their career adaptability in the local context. Most existing research centers on post-employment outcomes such as job satisfaction and career growth, with limited attention given to the demographics of currently enrolled university students. This comparative study explored the career adaptability of university students in the Philippines. Using the Career Adaptability Assessment Scale (CAAS), data were collected from both groups through an online questionnaire. An independent samples t-test was used to compare the means of career adaptability dimensions and overall career adaptability between working and non-working students. Results showed a significant difference in career confidence (p = 0.002, d = -0.44) and overall career adaptability (p = 0.04, d = -0.29) between the two groups, demonstrating higher levels in working students. Furthermore, no significant difference was observed in terms of career concern (p = 0.18), career control (p = 0.43), and career curiosity (p = 0.45). These findings suggest that while employment status is associated with differences in career adaptability and confidence among students, the practical effect size of this difference is limited. The findings identify potential areas for targeted institutional support for student career development.

Creativity shapes how individuals solve problems, express themselves, and innovate. How individuals view creativity is vital as it shapes how they adapt, solve problems, and thrive in everyday situations. This study explored the creative self-concept of Millennials and Generation Z in Central Luzon, Philippines. Creative self-concept encompasses both creative self-efficacy and creative personal identity, referring to how individuals perceive their creativity. While generational differences in values and skills are widely studied, little is known about how Filipino Millennials and Generation Z perceive their creativity. Using a cross-sectional survey method, information was gathered from 300 respondents, evenly split between their generation group. The independent sample t-test revealed that there is no significant difference in creative self-concept between the participants’ generations (p = 0.19). Similarly, a non-significant result was also observed between respondents’ geographical locations (p = 0.12). However, results from ANOVA revealed that people with more schooling (F = 7.94, p < 0.001) had more creative ideas about themselves compared to those who had lower educational attainment. These results showed that educational experiences may have a bigger effect on how people think about creativity than their generational group or where they live. The study highlights the importance of incorporating activities that foster imagination in schools, enabling students of all ages to generate new ideas and feel confident in their abilities.

This study examined gender differences in self-stigma of seeking psychological help among Filipino college students, which was defined as negative beliefs and attitudes that individuals have that are significant barriers to seeking psychological help for mental health concerns. This study employed a causal-comparative design. About 210 students were recruited, with an equal 105 males and 105 females. Utilizing the Self-Stigma of Seeking Help Scale (SSOSH) to assess students' attitudes or behaviors related to seeking psychological or academic help often reflects their fear of stigma or embarrassment. An independent samples t-test indicated that males reported significantly higher self-stigma (M = 2.79, SD = 0.67) than females (M = 2.33, SD = 0.61), t(208) = -5.24, p < .001, d = 0.72 (large effect). Findings suggest the need for gender-sensitive interventions to reduce stigma and promote help-seeking behavior among male students. The observation of higher self-stigma in males indicates the influence of gender norms surrounding the stigma in seeking mental health support. To address this, culturally informed programs and mental health education may help encourage help-seeking behavior and reduce the stigma.

This study was conducted to improve or develop food products and processing technologies, specifically those that will enhance value addition. The creation of new marketable forms from watermelon rind and skin is usually discarded. The study used an experimental design, employing a completely randomized design with four treatments, each replicated three times. Different measurements of watermelon rind and skin puree were used to represent the treatments of the study. The products were evaluated by 50 respondents composed of ten (10) trained faculty on sensory evaluation of products, 35 student evaluators who know food preparation and evaluation of products, and five (5) selected bakery owners from the Municipality of Sta. Maria Ilocos Sur. Results showed that 400ml of watermelon rind and skin puree, combined with basic ingredients, was best across all sensory evaluations and had the highest return on investment (ROI). Based on the study, the watermelon pilipit is considered healthy, acceptable, and nutritious. It contained ash of 1.12g, moisture content of 12.96g, crude fat of 11.0g, and 10.37g of crude protein. The technology should undergo further testing, including shelf-life and physicochemical tests. This study recommends using watermelon skin and rinds as an enhancer in making pastry products such as chips and pilipit

State universities and colleges in the Philippines adopted English as the primary medium of instruction, with speaking playing a significant role as part of the four basic skills when learning a language. Therefore, the study explored the perceived oral proficiency of tertiary students in a state university, with ESL teachers suggesting possible interventions to improve the effectiveness of teaching and learning oral English skills. A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was used, where simple random sampled respondents among tertiary students answered online survey questionnaires, while conveniently sampled ESL teachers answered the supplementary open-ended questions based on the initial quantitative results. Through descriptive analysis, students were found to have generally decent oral proficiency skills, with strong to neutral agreement on the influence of environmental and psychological factors. The teachers then interpreted the quantitative results, saying that for oral proficiency skills, students had satisfactory skills, a lack of self-assurance in those skills, and a need for targeted support for those skills, while for environmental and psychological factors, students had confused self-concepts, primarily extrinsic motivation for learning, and an appreciation for their learning environment. ESL teachers suggested speech practice and integration, interactive activities, and real-world experiences as pedagogical interventions for oral proficiency and motivating experiences, acceptance of mistakes, and safe learning environments for the factors of oral proficiency. Besides taking into consideration the possible pedagogical interventions, the researcher recommended expanding research on the structures and variables that affect oral proficiency skills.

This study examined the impact of multimedia presentations on the development of auditory awareness and oral communication skills in kindergarten children, as perceived by teachers in the Subic District. Emphasizing the importance of phonological awareness as a foundational skill in early literacy, the research explored how multimedia tools such as interactive whiteboards, flashcards, and video content facilitated phonetic development and speaking abilities. A total of 49 kindergarten teachers participated in the study, which employed a descriptive survey method to collect data on teachers' demographics, the level of multimedia integration, and the challenges faced in implementing multimedia in the classroom. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were young, female teachers with limited experience. Multimedia tools were reported to be "greatly integrated" into reading and visual skills but were "reasonably implemented" for auditory skills. Variations in multimedia use were observed based on factors such as seminar attendance, years of service, and educational background. Key barriers included insufficient training, limited resources, and a lack of institutional support. Despite these challenges, the study confirmed that multimedia significantly contributed to enhancing phonological awareness. To fully maximize the potential of multimedia integration, the study recommended improving technological support, providing ongoing content-specific professional development, and regularly evaluating student progress to refine teaching strategies.

This study determined how much Grade 11 students are interested in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) careers. The students were part of the new Strengthened Senior High School Curriculum in the Philippines for School Year 2025–2026. A total of 455 students answered a survey about how they feel relative to STEM careers. The results showed respondents’ high interest in science, technology, and math careers, but their interest in engineering jobs was not as high. In terms of career pathways, students who chose Health and Wellness Sciences liked science the most, and students in Engineering and Natural Sciences liked technology and engineering more. Students in Business and Accounting were the most interested in math. As to sex assigned at birth (i.e., male and female), it was found that both were almost the same in liking science and math, but males were more interested in technology and engineering than females. It can be summarized that students were already interested in STEM, especially when their studies match the career they want in the future. Because of this, even though strands are no longer part of the Strengthened SHS Curriculum, schools are encouraged to provide more hands-on STEM opportunities and experiences to all students so everyone can uncover their talents and gain higher confidence in STEM activities. More students can grow up to become future scientists, engineers, doctors, and innovators who will help improve the country.

This study determined the commonly used instructional strategies and the relationship of reading motivation on the reading proficiency levels of Grade 7 students, and used these findings as basis for developing a teacher-led intervention material. The research design used was descriptive-correlational design with a sample of 139 Grade 7 students and 7 English teachers. Analysis of data was done using Weighted Mean, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, Coefficient of Determination and modified ADDIE model. Results showed that the identified instructional strategies were used often by teachers, their average weighted mean (AWM) being 3.09. Regarding reading skills, students displayed strong reading fluency (56.80%) and moderate vocabulary knowledge (59.70%). Nevertheless, students showed a frustration-level performance in reading comprehension (43.90%), indicating that they struggle to independently understand texts and need significant support from teachers to grasp reading materials. Analysis of reading motivation of Grade 7 showed that the level of motivation was moderately high, with an (AWM) of 2.91. Correlation tests revealed that reading motivation had a very weak effects on reading proficiency, with r-squared values ranging from 0.0016% to 2.7556%, suggesting minimal contribution of motivation to students’ reading performance. These results were the foundation of a teacher-directed intervention resource aimed at overcoming the challenges outlined and helping the students to become more proficient and motivated in reading. Altogether, the research highlights the necessity of more specific and teacher-centered strategies to enhance the level of reading comprehension and interest among the students.

This project was intended to educate, enable and empower Keningau youth from both technical and vocational education and training (TVET) and mainstream backgrounds to contribute to the community through a building repair and upgrade project. Repair and maintenance in any manmade structure are always necessary but there are many variables which include regularly scheduled maintenance, lack of skilled manpower and limited funding can hinder such routine. Hence, this community project known as Steel Steady mobilized youth volunteers who were essentially students from Keningau Vocational College as well as other schools in Keningau, Sabah, to learn the basics of welding and take part in a building repair and upgrade at a chosen location. The volunteers were required to answer community-based learning (CBL) and civic engagement instruments upon completing the project to determine their overall perception on their experience as volunteers in the community project and to determine the level of influence that each dimension had on their civic engagement. The results from descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis on their responses suggest that the respondents had positive experience from the project based on the four dimensions of CBL; teamwork, participation, reflection and leadership. These four dimensions strongly influenced their sense of civic engagement. This implies that CBL is a highly plausible approach in cultivating a sense of awareness, empathy and responsibility of youths towards their community’s needs.

The study aimed to explore and quantify the push-pull factors that contributed to the tourists' choice of travel destinations in Bataan Province, Philippines as a form of revenge travel, utilizing the descriptive-quantitative research method. A total of 400 local and domestic tourists aged 18 to 65 who visited and stayed in any of the five (5) municipalities—Balanga, Pilar, Bagac, Mariveles, and Morong—in Bataan Province served as respondents. The study revealed that push factors influencing travel to Bataan Province included novelty seeking, ego enhancement, and the desire for rest and relaxation, as respondents were motivated by new experiences, family bonding, and personal enjoyment. Pull factors likewise played a crucial role, with environment and safety, as well as cultural and historical attractions, being highly prioritized by respondents. The affordability and quality of tourism facilities further enhanced the satisfaction of their travel needs. In general, the study revealed that push and pull factors were both significant in helping respondents in choosing their travel destination in Bataan Province. Additionally, the results revealed that there was a significant difference in the influence of push and pull factors when the demographic profile of the respondents was considered. Based on the study’s findings, to enhance Bataan’s cultural tourism appeal, stakeholders should develop diversified cultural programs that highlight the province’s heritage and ecology, prioritize sustainability and community collaboration, and deliver high-quality, data-driven tourism experiences aligned with tourists’ diverse motivations.
