Abstract

This study explores how artificial intelligence (AI) influences education, particularly in teaching, learning, and assessment. While AI offers benefits such as personalized learning, automation, and data-driven feedback, it also brings challenges such as data privacy, teacher adaptation, and equity concerns. This research examines the link between teachers’ awareness of AI and their digital competence in the workplace. Using a descriptive correlational design, data were collected via an online survey from 144 public basic education teachers in Laguna, Philippines. The study employed validated tools: the AI Awareness Scale and the Digital Competence Questionnaire. Results showed that only one factor—attendance at AI or ICT-related training—significantly influenced AI awareness (p = .044). Thus, the hypothesis was partially accepted, as the other demographic attributes showed no significant differences. However, a notable finding is the rejection of the hypothesis that no significant relationship exists between AI awareness and digital competence, suggesting a meaningful connection between the two. This research provides new insights into a relatively unexplored area: how teachers’ understanding of AI correlates with their ability to effectively use digital tools. Although AI’s role in fields such as health care and technology is well studied, its educational impact, particularly on teachers’ preparedness, remains underrepresented.

Abstract

Inadequate leadership can impede teachers' effectiveness and diminish the quality of education. This study delves into the influence of management competence and supervisory strategies on teachers' performance to unlock their potential for delivering quality education. Using a descriptive-correlational research design and a questionnaire checklist, we investigated the relationship between these variables across fourteen public schools in Dipolog City. Our findings revealed that while most administrators were highly competent, factors such as age, experience, and educational qualifications influenced performance in specific areas. Surprisingly, the number of training sessions attended did not significantly impact competence. Administrators frequently utilized classroom visitation and demonstration strategies, revealing a strong positive correlation between their level of competence and the implementation of these supervisory approaches. However, no significant relationship was found between administrators' competence and teacher performance, indicating the need for further investigation into factors affecting teachers' effectiveness.

Abstract

Gamification has become a popular strategy in education for increasing student motivation and engagement. In English Language Teaching (ELT) for young learners aged 5 to 12, gamification is especially important because children in this age group learn better through play, interaction, and fun activities than through memorization. However, there is still limited understanding of how gamification specifically supports young learners’ English learning. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) on the use of gamification in ELT for young learners. This study focuses on the intersection between two key variables—gamification and English instruction for children—and explains why their combination is meaningful. Gamification can address common learning challenges such as short attention spans and low motivation by creating interactive, engaging, and developmentally appropriate learning environments. This review followed the PRISMA 2020 guidelines and used the Scopus database to collect articles published between 2016 and 2025. Of the 75 identified articles, 14 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Results showed that gamification enhances student motivation, improves grammar acquisition through tools like Kahoot! and Quizizz, and supports engagement in hybrid learning settings. A key limitation of this review is its narrow focus on grammar, as most studies did not explore other essential language skills such as listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Future research should examine how gamification can support a broader range of skills. This review offers practical insights for educators and researchers by highlighting how gamification can be applied thoughtfully to enhance English learning for young learners.

Abstract

Student discipline is crucial for a conducive learning environment, yet many schools still assess indiscipline manually, leading to inefficiency. This research develops a web-based decision support system using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to objectively assess and rank student violations. The system helps educators manage offense data, assign weights to different violation criteria, and issue appropriate sanctions. Built with the Laravel framework for security and scalability, the system was tested with 50 teachers and administrators. Evaluation focused on usability, satisfaction, and the system’s accuracy in ranking student indiscipline. Results showed that 85% of top-ranked students had frequent violations, while 90% of lowest-ranked students had few. The system enables teachers to review data, generate accurate reports, and issue warnings efficiently, reducing the time spent on manual assessments. However, it is currently limited to web platforms and lacks integration with mobile notifications like WhatsApp. Despite these limitations, the system significantly enhances discipline management and provides an objective, technology-driven solution for educational institutions
