Abstract

Purpose of the study: The present study explored the role of Sri Lankan school principals in integrating technology into the teaching–learning process across diverse educational contexts. It examined how principals provide leadership, support, and direction for technology use in schools, while also identifying the challenges they face and the factors that influence their efforts. Methodology: A qualitative research design was adopted, using semi-structured interviews with ten school principals from Sinhala, Tamil, and English medium schools across four districts in Sri Lanka. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis Main Findings: The findings reveal that principals play multiple roles as facilitators, enablers, and advocates of technology integration. They support initiatives such as STEM education and encourage teachers’ use of digital tools; however, their leadership is often constrained by the absence of a clear technological vision, limited resources, inadequate infrastructure, teacher resistance, and insufficient awareness of technology-related policies. These challenges vary between urban and rural schools and across different language-medium contexts Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to the understanding of school principals’ roles in leading technology integration in Sri Lankan schools. It highlights both leadership practices and contextual constraints and offers practical insights to strengthen principals’ capacity to support effective and equitable technology-enhanced teaching and learning.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study explored the potential for promoting inclusive education at the Bataan Peninsula State University – Balanga Campus (BPSU-BC). Methodology: The study employed a convergent parallel design. The researcher gathered both quantitative and qualitative data to assess the awareness and knowledge levels among faculty members regarding campus accessibility in inclusive education. Main Findings: The findings indicate that the faculty members are well informed and sensitive to inclusive education, especially in their willingness to accommodate the students with disabilities, however, in spite of the willingness and the knowledge and awareness of the faculty members, increased institutional support may further enhance inclusive practice within the campus. Likewise, faculty finds the campus to be overall accessible, with signage being given the highest rating, followed by architecture. Though the overall rating is good, the low accessibility of assistive tools for students with disability shows that investment in inclusive tools is still needed. Moreover, the findings indicate that neither the awareness nor the knowledge of the faculty regarding inclusive education are significantly related to campus accessibility to inclusive education. More so, the findings revealed a need for explicit policies that integrated inclusivity into teaching, student activities, and daily campus operations. Faculty training on accommodating students with physical disabilities and mental health conditions was also deemed necessary. Furthermore, facility improvements were suggested to support learners with physical challenges. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provided recommendations for faculty profiling and facility enhancements, aligning BPSU-BC with national policies for inclusive education.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to evaluate employers’ feedback on the job performance of Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship graduates of Kalinga State University (KSU) to identify strengths and areas for improvement across four competency domains: personal, interpersonal, intellectual, and technical. The findings serve as a basis for curriculum enhancement, instructional innovation, and career development initiatives, thereby reinforcing educational accountability and employability outcomes within the ASEAN context. Methodology: The study employed a mixed-method research design integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches. A descriptive survey using a structured questionnaire distributed via Google Forms and in-person administration was utilized. Data was encoded in Microsoft Excel and analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and ranking, complemented by thematic analysis of employers’ qualitative feedback. Main Findings: Quantitative results indicated that graduates performed very satisfactorily in all four domains: personal abilities (M = 4.32), interpersonal abilities (M = 4.15), intellectual abilities (M = 4.19), and generic and specific knowledge and skills (M = 3.92). Employers commended graduates’ persistence, teamwork, and creativity but emphasized the need to improve communication, leadership, and digital literacy. The qualitative results revealed four major themes: practical and experiential learning, communication and interpersonal development, technological and digital skills enhancement, and leadership and professional competence. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides empirical evidence linking employer feedback with curriculum evaluation through the CIPP (Context–Input–Process–Product) Model, a framework rarely applied in Philippine entrepreneurship education research. It advances discourse on educational assessment and accountability by positioning employer perspectives as outcome-based indicators of curricular effectiveness. Moreover, it contributes to the ASEAN goal of promoting quality-assured, outcome-based, and employability-driven higher education that prepares graduates to be innovative, globally competent, and industry-responsive.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: Fiqh instruction in Islamic schools (madrasah) continues to face several difficulties, chief among them students' inadequate understanding of the ideas and rituals of worship due to traditional, memorization-focused teaching methods. The purpose of this study is to describe how students at the Riyadlus Sholihin Elementary Madrasah have improved their comprehension of the fiqh subject through innovative learning based on the Fiqhul Wadih book. Methodology: This study included a case study and a qualitative methodology. Key informants, including the madrasah principal, curriculum administrators, teachers, and students, were observed, interviewed in depth, and documented. Data reduction, data display, and conclusion drafting were the methods used for data analysis. Triangulating sources and methods enabled testing their validity. Main Findings: The findings demonstrated that applying learning based on Fiqhul Wadih greatly enhanced students' comprehension in both cognitive and worship-related domains. Students showed enhanced reasoning regarding fiqh concepts, practiced proper ablution and prayer techniques, and were better able to explain fiqh principles methodically. Additionally, through conversations, Q&A sessions, and practical experience, this learning increased student engagement and active participation. The conversation demonstrates how the book's methodical, communicative qualities, which are reinforced by interactive teaching strategies, contributed to its success. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study's findings support the effectiveness of Fiqhul Wadih-based instruction in raising students' knowledge of Islamic law. In terms of curriculum development, teacher learning methodologies, and raising the standard of Islamic education in madrasas, this research offers an alternate paradigm for learning Islamic law.
