Abstract

Assurance of quality and assessment of the current state of services provided by government-funded colleges and universities are constantly dominating the agenda in most countries. Developing countries in the Asia Pacific, such as the Philippines, are concerned with continuously improving their academic standards while pursuing greater access and opportunity. Quality arrangements are now being sought to balance quantity, quality, and public accountability as it moves toward mass higher education with a greater diversity of students and modes combined with tightened or limited resources. As a result, SUCs (State Universities and Colleges) and LUCs (Local Universities and Colleges) are expected to constantly respond to changes in the higher education environment to address their students' diverse learning and support needs. Under such circumstances, this study is relevant. The main objective of this research is to cover the student assistance services offered by SUCs and LUCs, given that higher education institutions are focusing on meeting the standards assigned by recognized accreditation agencies on a standard-by-standard basis. Since HEIs (Higher Education Institutions) place a high value on quality assurance, and institutional and program accreditation leveling for global recognition, this study determined the current state of SSP as perceived by student respondents. This research is limited to a particular degree program (Bachelor of Science in Business Administration) from the following government-funded HEIs: University of Makati (UMak), Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology (NEUST), Bulacan Agricultural State College (BASC), Eulogio "Amang" Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST), and Bulacan State University (BulSU).

Abstract

This research focuses on how various parties view and comprehend Northwestern University's Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives (VMGO) and whether they are aligned with them. Specifically, the study examines the stakeholders' awareness, acceptance, understanding, congruence, clarity, and perception. Stakeholders consisted of the students, faculty and staff, alumni, and industry partners. The research used structural equation modeling to find the links between awareness, acceptance, and understanding, congruency and clarity and perception. The study's findings were that the three variables relate to each other; however, the personal profile of the respondents only affected the awareness, acceptance, and understanding variables. This indicates that, for example, the age of the stakeholder, the older the stakeholder, the more he is aware of and comprehends the VMGO of the University. Moreover, this study recommends that the Institution continues to think of ways how to let its stakeholders comprehend the VMGO of the University.

Abstract

Communication is one of the fundamental factors in operating complex and highly regulated industries such as aviation maintenance. Aviation graduates' job performance and career development are highly dependent on their communication skills. However, the transition from student to aviation worker requires individuals to adapt to new communication practices in the workplace. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the oral and written communication activities that the young aviation personnel in the aviation industry frequently encounters. In addition, this study was also conducted to find out what challenges they face in terms of communication. Nine participants, young aircraft maintenance technicians and License Aircraft Engineers (LAE), were involved in semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed thematically and managed using ATLAS.ti software. The results show that the English language is critical for the development of professional communication skills among young aircraft maintenance technicians, as they need English language skills for oral and written activities. The identified needs and challenges in communication skills would help aviation institutions develop solutions to meet the aviation industry's needs.

Abstract

The study focused on the United Nations-Nigeria cooperation in correcting the skewed male-dominated educational system in the Northern states of Nigeria, characterized by extremist beliefs, inequitable education, and gender inequality. As a result, the report contends that the prevalence of sex discrimination exacerbates concerns about female child education and gender inequality. The paper investigated inequitable quality education (SDGs 4) and gender equality (SDGs 5). Furthermore, the study extracts the UN-Nigeria partnership in transforming the Northern states' male-dominated educational system. It also looked at the factors contributing to inequitable quality education and gender equality and the numerous UN-Nigeria partnerships for girl-child education and gender equality. The study collected data from secondary sources and analyzed the data using content analysis. The paper raised several questions and specifically examined issues such as: why parents in the Northern States believe that girl child education is irrelevant, why all adduction is aimed at girls and the role and challenges of the UN-Nigeria partnership in reforming the male-dominated educational system in the Northern states of Nigeria. Finally, the study concluded with policy recommendations.

Abstract

Knowing the characteristics of animals is one of the competencies for early childhood. To learn this topic, the teacher usually uses two-dimensional animal illustrations. Along with the times, the use of learning media with technology-based is highly recommended for use in the learning process. Responding to this, this study's main aim was to design and develop 3D flashcards as learning media based on augmented reality that can be integrated with smartphones. The developed media will be used to convey learning material about animal characteristics by recognizing their anatomy through three-dimensional flashcard illustrations and the distinctive sound of each animal. The research method used the ADDIE model. The 3D flashcards were implemented for 60 children from two classes, aged between 5 – 6 years, and four teachers. The results were obtained that 92% of children could recognize animal characteristics in each 3D flashcard scanned using a smartphone. The sound in each animal helps students recognize the type of animal they are studying more. According to the teacher, utilizing this technology greatly increases children's enthusiasm for learning. The limitation of this study is the learning method that must involve parents. The novelty of this research is a learning method that involves parents using smartphones for positive purposes in the child's learning process. Some parents are against using smartphones for early childhood, but without realizing it, the demand for technology literacy must get used to it from childhood.

Abstract

Many Indonesian students consider mathematics as an uninteresting learning subject that confuses them. An innovative approach to teach mathematics is needed to increase their engagement. In this case study, gamification which has been known as an activity to increase the student’s enthusiasm was introduced in learning algebra. An observation with 20 female eighth graders was done in the classroom with and without the gamification activity to see the students’ reactions and emotions in playing the game. Two focus group discussions with eight students were conducted by purposeful sampling based on their various levels of activeness, and, competence in mathematics, as well as their scores of the game to grasp their perceptions of gamification in mathematics, followed by an individual interview with the math teacher. The findings were analyzed through the lenses of symbolic interactionism in which the students’ acts and perceptions were constructively interpreted and confirmed with the teacher’s opinion. The literature was also included to strengthen the result. The research found that gamification in mathematics could highly engage the students, especially when the teacher offered a reward. However, the student’s perception was highly influenced by their performance in the game. Despite the lack of mechanical skill, the winners were satisfied; the unsuccessful players had different opinions: some of them wanted to play again to increase their scores whereas the rest of them did not suit the game. Thus, to motivate the students, designing gamified activities in mathematics needed to consider individual preferences.
