Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to assess the grit level of senior high school students in a Philippine high school and to analyze its relationship with their academic achievement in Mathematics. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design. Data were gathered from Grade 12 students in the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), Philippines. The “Grit-S” Scale (Duckworth & Quin, 2009) was utilized with its reliability tested using Cronbach’s alpha (0.754). Sample size of 225 students was determined through Cochran’s formula. Data were treated using weighted mean and Pearson’s Product Moment of Correlation.  Main Findings: Students exhibited moderate levels of grit (overall x̅ = 3.20) and very satisfactory mathematics achievement (x̅ = 85). Using Pearson’s Product-Moment Correlation, a weak but statistically significant positive relationship was found between grit and mathematics academic achievement (r = 0.20, p < 0.01), indicating that grit has a limited but measurable association with students’ performance. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is among the first to investigate grit as a non-cognitive factor influencing Mathematics achievement in the Philippine senior high school context. By localizing the application of the Grit-S scale, it expands global research to a new cultural setting and highlights the role of perseverance in shaping academic outcomes, offering evidence-based insights for curriculum and instructional improvement.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to develop and validate the constructivist instructional practices scale, grounded in constructivist learning theory, concentrated on three dimensions: teacher’s autonomy support, teacher’s support and feedback, and cooperative learning support. Methodology: 626 participants from 9 high schools across 4 provinces in Cambodia were selected conveniently. The data was analyzed by using an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Main Findings: The initial 18-item instrument was refined to a 15-item scale after removing three items with weak, cross, or negative loadings. The final model confirmed a three-factor structure: Teacher Autonomy Support (TAS), Teacher Support and Feedback (TSF), and Cooperative Learning (CL).  The instrument demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha > 0.80) and robust factorial validity (CFI > 0.95, RMSEA < 0.06), proving to be a reliable tool for measuring student-centered teaching behaviors. Novelty/Originality of this study: This research fills a critical gap by providing the first psychometrically validated scale for constructivist practices tailored to the Cambodian high school context.  It contributes to educational assessment by offering a reliable framework for evaluating the shift toward student-centered pedagogy in Southeast Asian classrooms.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in education is growing rapidly, particularly in the development of instructional materials. However, research providing an empirical evaluation of its effectiveness on teacher performance—taking digital literacy into account as a readiness factor—remains limited. This study is an evaluative research aimed at assessing the effectiveness of using generative AI in instructional material development on teacher performance, as well as evaluating the moderating role of digital literacy within the framework of educators’ professional accountability. Methodology: This study employs a quantitative approach using an explanatory survey design involving teachers from formal educational institutions in Lhokseumawe City. Data were collected via a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS) through SmartPLS 4 software to evaluate the structural relationships among variables. Main Findings: The analysis results provide evaluative evidence that the use of generative AI significantly contributes to improving teachers’ performance in the aspect of instructional material development. Digital literacy was also found to have a positive and significant effect on performance, with a more dominant influence. However, the evaluation results indicate that digital literacy does not moderate the relationship between the use of generative AI and teacher performance, suggesting that the effectiveness of AI is independent of the level of digital literacy in this sample.    Novelty/Originality of this study: This study contributes to the field of educational evaluation by offering a framework for assessing evidence-based technology integration. The implications for evaluation practice are the need to develop teacher performance assessment standards that include digital technology competencies as part of professional accountability. These results can serve as a policy foundation for educational institutions in evaluating the effectiveness of technology training programs to ensure the adoption of AI that impacts instructional quality.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study evaluated a faculty-prepared Events Management textbook as an instructional material and identified evidence-based priorities for revision. The main objective was to generate practical revision directions that can improve the textbook’s instructional value in hospitality and tourism education. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive evaluation design was used among 152 Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management and Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management students of Kalinga State University who had completed the course and used the textbook. Data were gathered through an adapted instructional material evaluation questionnaire with Likert-scale indicators and a revision recommendation checklist. Weighted mean, frequency, percentage, ranking, and a maintain-improve priority matrix were used to analyze the data. Main Findings: Students evaluated the textbook positively in physical features (M = 3.47), textbook parts (M = 3.48), overall evaluation (M = 3.49), and satisfaction (M = 3.52). The strongest areas suggest that the textbook is generally usable, organized, and engaging, particularly in lesson overview, readability, content quality, and relevance to learning. However, the lower-scoring indicators show clear revision needs in conversational tone, activity manageability, industry alignment, user instructions, visual appeal, delivery mode, and digital learning support. Educationally, the findings indicate that the textbook should be retained as a core learning resource but revised through a quality assurance cycle that connects student feedback with instructional design improvement. Novelty/Originality of this study: The study contributes a localized instructional material evaluation of an Events Management textbook and converts student assessment into a structured decision tool for revision. Its originality lies in combining textbook evaluation, student feedback, CIPP-informed quality assurance, ADDIE evaluation, ARCS satisfaction, and a priority matrix for instructional material improvement.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to evaluate the validity of the Pancasila Student Profile as a character assessment framework by examining its alignment with the foundational values of Pancasila. Methodology: This qualitative study employed library research and limited field inquiry. Data were collected through document analysis and semi-structured interviews. The evaluation was conducted using qualitative content analysis based on four indicators: philosophical consistency, value representation, conceptual coherence, and educational applicability. Triangulation was used to enhance the credibility of the findings. Main Findings: The evaluation revealed that several core values of Pancasila, particularly humanity, unity, and social justice, are not explicitly represented in the current six dimensions of the Pancasila Student Profile. The findings also indicate an overemphasis on project-based implementation. Based on these results, a five-value framework and an integrated character education model emphasizing internalization, habituation, and contextual application were developed. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study introduces a conceptual evaluation framework for assessing the alignment between educational value constructs and national philosophical foundations. It offers a reconceptualized Pancasila Student Profile rooted in the original five principles of Pancasila and proposes an integrated model that extends character education beyond project-based learning toward sustainable value formation and assessment practices.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived social support and academic stress among migrant university students in DKI Jakarta, Indonesia. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative correlational design involving 386 migrant university students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Student Life Stress Inventory (SLSI) and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Validity and reliability tests were conducted, followed by normality testing using the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test. Because the data were not normally distributed, hypothesis testing was performed using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis. Main Findings: The results revealed a significant positive relationship between perceived social support and academic stress among migrant university students (r = 0.627, p < 0.05). The majority of respondents were categorized as having high levels of academic stress and high levels of perceived social support. The findings indicate that students reporting higher social support also tended to report higher academic stress. Novelty/Originality of this study: Previous studies generally reported that social support was associated with lower academic stress. In contrast, this study found a positive relationship between social support and academic stress among migrant university students in a metropolitan setting. The findings provide new insights into the psychosocial dynamics of migrant students and suggest that social support may coexist with heightened academic pressure in urban higher education environments.
