Abstract

Preparedness plays an essential role in taking the licensure examination, but due to the implications of the Covid -19 pandemic on the general population, many are concerned about its influence on the student's level of preparedness for their upcoming licensure examination. This study investigated whether the Covid -19 pandemic and the students' demographic profile influence their financial, mental, academic, and learning environment preparedness. An online survey questionnaire was distributed to the graduating students enrolled in Partido State University board courses during 2022-2023. The collected data was analyzed using ordinal logistic regression. The responses showed that financial, learning environment, mental, and academic preparedness received weighted means of 2.67, 3.46, 2.99, and 2.42, respectively. Meanwhile, the Covid -19 influence received an overall weighted mean of 5.01. These findings indicate that most students believe their financial, mental, and academic preparedness levels are low, while they perceive their environmental preparedness level as high. Despite this, most believe that the Covid - 19 pandemic was somewhat influential and beneficial to their preparedness. Lastly, the ordinal regression model revealed that only the age of the students is statistically significant at 10%. In contrast, the rest of the variables regarding the socio-demographic profile of the students and the perceived Covid -19 influence are not significant at all levels.

Abstract

Older people are encouraged to participate more in the economic, social, and governmental sectors as part of progressive aging policies worldwide. Very little is known about applying engagement techniques or carrying out strategies in Bangladesh that are important for involving seniors in social engagement. Therefore, this qualitative research was conducted in Dhaka, Bangladesh, among 385 people aged sixty or above to assess their understanding of the quality of life and the gap in government policy. Results showed that between 60 and 65 were more mobile, creative, engaged in productive activity, and had significantly higher decision-making power (p<0.000). Aging greatly enhances dependency (p<0.000). Lower-educated people were significantly dependent on their families (p<0.000). Moreover, elderly income and the cost of treatment were significantly correlated to abuse (p<0.001). Furthermore, 10% of participants reported negative relationships with family members (p<0.031).  However, most (61.6%) were unaware of the 2013 Parent's Care Act. Though most participants (73.2%) knew of the government-funded Old Age Allowance, 92.5% received no non-governmental assistance. The research concluded that education and economic condition have a long-term relationship with reducing dependency. In recommendation, Government can increase the retirement age from 59 to 65 years which may increase self of security, respect, and self-esteem and reduce harassment. Parent's Care Act 2013 should implement. Government should include Community Health and Social Service centers for the quality of life of the elderly.

Abstract

This paper has assessed the determinants of the profitability of commercial banks operating in Nepal. The effect of macroeconomic as well as internal factors on profitability is estimated. For this purpose, ROA is used to measure a bank's profitability. Similarly, liquidity (LIQ), management efficiency (ME), assets quality (AQ), and operational efficiency (OE) are used as internal factors, and consumer price index (CPI), interest rate (IR), and growth rate of broad money supply (M2) are used as macro-economic factors. Based on the result of panel data analysis, this paper revealed that bank-specific and macroeconomic factors play an essential role in determining profitability. Further, this paper found that LIQ, ME, AQ, CPI, and IR substantially influence the profitability of banks operating in Nepal. Thus, this paper concluded that the bank management should improve its liquidity, efficiency of management, and quality of assets to improve profitability. Likewise, the bank management can benefit from increasing CPI and IR to improve profitability.

Abstract

Employers' feedback on graduates' work productivity is critical for instructional designers, developers, and academic educators to produce new ideas for how graduates may fulfill their duties as citizens of dynamically varying companies. The findings of this study will be used to evaluate the automotive technology program and the basis for graduates' performance at work as it corresponds to technical practitioners, organizational skills, and customer service skills. The Sequential Mixed Method Design was used in the process of this study. The researcher utilized purposive sampling because the participants were determined with 42 employers and 88 LSPU-CIT automotive technology graduates from various firms that were the study's respondents. The researchers used a self-created survey-type questionnaire and a focus group discussion (FGD) interview guide to test the instrument's validity and reliability.Furthermore, respondents were asked to fill out a survey regarding how they rated a graduate's performance, and FGD was held to gain a broad and deep understanding of CIT Graduates' situations in their companies. Following the collection of all meaningful data, an experimental design was used. The findings revealed that the degree of feedback across employers in three domains was undeniable from the employers' perspective, as agreed in the in-depth conversation with the selected companies.

Abstract

Inclusive education became the mainstream educational system in the Philippines. The study used a qualitative research design employing a case study approach. Two Mathematics teachers were observed and interviewed. Purposive sampling was used to choose the participants. Data gathering is carried out through open-ended questions, interviews, and observation. Three themes emerged in the study: lack of ASL training, personalization in pedagogy, and upskilling teachers’ competency in inclusive education. This study reveals that learning should not be constrained and can be attained when everyone collaborates. It was evident that teaching is a continuous process that should not be interrupted because teaching is the noblest profession. Teachers and administrators should offer programs, projects, and activities connected to pedagogy, addressing diversity and personalizing in providing excellent services since inclusive education is now available within the educational system. It is recommended in the study to strengthen and expand inclusive education so that each student can be given more priority in accessing education for all, give them more possibilities and opportunities to address their differences, and strengthen their inherent capabilities as valuable members of society. The study seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge on inclusive education by exploring the experiences and perspectives of educators in the field.

Abstract

Overchoice is a cognitive disorder in which people have difficulty making decisions when faced with many choices, that make the problem in this study. This over-choice phenomenon often occurs in choosing drinks in cafes and restaurants. This research aims to create a Recommendation System (RS) to assist in choosing the drink you want to order. Making a non-personalized hospital at the Mubtada Kopi cafe uses the best-rated and content-based filtering methods. The content-based filtering method tries to retrieve user preferences explicitly, asking the user to choose the preferences the user wants from the six content made before calculating the match between the user's preferences and the six contents in each item using the dot matrix formula. The results will be converted into a rating to match the best-rated hospital approach, which is made on a non-personalized basis. This rating matches the user's preferences and the Mubtada Kopi menu list items. The higher the rating, the better it matches the user's preferences. The order RS recommends with the Content-based filtering method is rosella tea, chocolate, lemon tea, blossom tea, and spice tea.

Abstract

This concise study was mainly about the perceptions of teachers toward continuing professional development (CPD). A qualitative method was employed to gather participants' information and ideas. Two-main questions and several sub-questions were designed to interview the respondents to address the research issue. Findings suggested that continuing professional development (CPD) is essential for teachers and school leaders to develop their mindsets and growth; moreover, most respondents agreed that CPD is crucial for self-development. However, one respondent felt that the school lacked teacher training. This can be notified that school leaders shall create more CPD activities for improving their colleagues. Moreover, without continuing professional development (CPD), teachers and staff will not become well-educated and knowledgeable human resources. Hence, lifelong Learning is a must for oneself to be promoted or to a successful life journey. Last but not least, this study implied that school leaders' and teachers’ perceptions were slightly different regarding CPD. Further study shall focus on teachers’ satisfaction regarding continuing professional development (CPD).

Abstract

In Cambodia, English is adopted as a medium of instruction and a major subject at universities, but teaching English can be a challenge in Cambodia as most learners are not proficient. Some English classes are taught by fresh graduates with less teaching experience while, even seriously, some instructors teach subjects beyond their field, leading to poor learning. As instructors’ qualities are generally key to effective teaching and learning, this study surveyed 30 TEFL instructors at three universities in Phnom Penh. The study used a Google form to collect instructors’ perceptions of five main domains: instructors’ qualifications, content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, pedagogical skills, and personal and interpersonal characteristics. The findings reveal higher mean scores for almost all items and overall mean scores for each domain. The results indicate that the instructors positively perceived these qualities of effective TEFL instructors. The findings can be employed as criteria for TEFL instructors and can inform universities to develop human resources with these aspects or elements when selecting English instructors. Therefore, such criteria can ensure the recruitment of TEFL instructors while TEFL instructors must improve themselves to have these qualities and other attributes for their practical teaching.
