Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a trending topic of study, especially in education. However, due to its unknown potential, students are adamant about it. The objective of this study is to investigate college students’ perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) anxiety, AI self-efficacy, and AI self-competence in a tertiary education institution. The study used a correlational research design with the help of an online survey to determine the variances and relationships among 1,030 purposively chosen students. This study adopted and modified measures that underwent reliability testing to gather data. The collected data were subjected to descriptive and inferential analysis using SPSS 23 for data computation. Results show that students have a moderate level of AI anxiety and AI self-efficacy; however, in terms of AI self-competency, they have a high level of it. Inferential analysis also revealed significant differences when the three variables were grouped according to demographic characteristics. At the same time, the study also found significant associations between AI anxiety, AI self-efficacy, and AI self-competence. The regression analysis confirmed that learning, job replacement, sociotechnical blindness, and AI configuration significantly influenced AI self-efficacy. On the other hand, job replacement, sociotechnical blindness, and AI configuration also predict AI self-competence. The study concludes that variances and relationships exist among AI anxiety, self-efficacy, and self-competence among college students.

Abstract

Writing activities, including research paper writing, learning logs, lab reports, and essays, were systematically incorporated into the curriculum to enhance students' learning experiences. This study examined the impact of integrating writing-based activities into science instruction, focusing on 35 Grade 11 HUMSS students. Utilizing a pre-test/post-test experimental design, the research was conducted over three weeks and encompassed two science lessons to assess the effectiveness of this approach. Pre-test and post-test assessments, as well as teaching materials, were used as research instruments. The findings revealed a significant improvement in post-test scores (Mean = 21.68, SD = 2.45) compared to pre-test scores (Mean = 12.57, SD = 2.29), with a p-value of 2.60E-18, demonstrating the effectiveness of these activities. This outcome highlights the potential of writing-based activities to enhance science performance and advocates for their broader implementation across subjects and grade levels. Furthermore, it underscores the importance of providing professional development for teachers and establishing a monitoring system to sustain the positive impact of these activities on student academic achievement.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the implication of the school heads’ literacy instructional leadership functions to the school reading level of the Key Stage 2 in the select public elementary schools in the City School Division of Cabuyao. The researcher used a quantitative descriptive method that used questionnaire survey in gathering data from 142 Key Stage 2 teachers and six public elementary school heads in Cabuyao City. The following statistical tools in the conduct of the study were used: Frequency and percentage for respondents’ profile; Weighted Mean for the literacy leadership practices; t-test for significant differences in the perception of teachers and school heads on the literacy leadership functions; and the Pearson R to determine the relationship of the school heads’ literacy instructional leadership functions and the Key Stage 2 reading level. On the findings of the study, the two sets of respondents’ perceptions of the school heads’ level of practice of the literacy leadership functions has an Overall Mean difference of 0.12 and computed t-value of .0671; as a result, the null hypothesis remained valid, but the importance of the monitoring and assessment strand was shown. On the test of a significant relationship between the school heads’ literacy leadership functions and the school reading profile, the computed r-value is .050, which implies a fragile association between the two variables, and the computed p-value is .925, which resulted in no evidence against the null hypothesis. Hence, there is no significant relationship between the literacy leadership functions and the school reading profile.

Abstract

The demand for upgrading Teaching Aids increases in line with curriculum developments, especially in the aspect of literacy culture. Teaching Aids is a strategic medium for improving children's literacy skills by bringing the concept of education and entertainment (edutainment) to early childhood. This study aims to explore perceptions of the use of teaching aids that focus on reading corners to develop a literacy culture for ECE children. A holistic perspective was adopted in the study by presenting three perspectives from parents, children, and teachers through a mixed-method approach. Data collection was carried out using random sampling techniques at kindergartens/PAUDs in Indonesia through questionnaire surveys and observations. The findings of this study reveal that an integrative holistic approach strengthens literacy culture as a lifestyle, not just a hobby, and supports the development of students' reasoning and logic. It involves teaching aids from teachers and parental support to create comprehensive character education

Abstract

Bookstore management plays a vital role in ensuring timely and cost-effective supply of educational materials. This study examined bookstore operations practices in a private higher education institution (HEI) in the Philippines. This descriptive-quantitative research used researcher-structured questionnaire distributed in-person to the 133 respondents composed of 66 college and 67 senior high school students of the subject HEI. The data gathered were analyzed with statistical tools such as frequency, percentage, standard deviation, weighted mean, and Spearman rank correlation. Results revealed that the bookstore operations was found well-managed considering its proper inventory management practices and the highly acceptable level of customer service provided to their customers. The efficient management of the bookstore justifies the acceptable customer satisfaction ratings and the non-existence of serious problems related to bookstore operations. The study also revealed a significant relationship between bookstore operations practices in terms of inventory management, and customer satisfaction in terms of value and pricing. However, there was no significant relationship revealed between inventory management and customer satisfaction in terms of inventory and availability.  Likewise, no significant relationships were revealed between customer service, and both dimensions of customer satisfaction (inventory and availability, and value and pricing). Based on these findings, proposed guidelines were developed to further enhance bookstore management practices. This study serves as a foundation for policies promoting efficient bookstore operations in HEI and other similar academic settings.

Abstract

Peer attitudes can exert a powerful influence on individuals, both directly and indirectly, shaping their behaviors, beliefs, and even their personal development. This study determined the impact of peer attitudes on the productivity of non-teaching staff in a division office of a government agency in the Philippines. Employing a descriptive-quantitative design, the study assessed the role of peer attitudes in shaping the non-teaching staff’s employee productivity. Data were collected from 65 government agency employees using a researcher-structured questionnaire prepared through Google form and distributed via Facebook Messenger and personal emails. Statistical tests included frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, and the Spearman Rank Correlation technique to quantify the strength and direction of the relationship between PAT and employee productivity. The findings highlighted the vital role of positive peer interactions in boosting employee productivity and cultivating a collaborative work environment. Although negative behaviors are infrequent, addressing disruptive attitudes to ensure a workplace where positive interactions flourish and a strong organizational identity thrive is essential. While challenges related to peer attitude rarely occur in the agency, the researchers suggest a roadmap for molding staff employee productivity. This study can serve as baseline information for developing studies on the effects of peer attitudes toward employee productivity and fostering a healthier workplace culture among government educational institutions.

Abstract

The aviation industry requires highly competent Flight Operations Officers (FOOs) for safe and efficient operations. This study explores the relationships between Social Learning, Emotional Intelligence (EI), and FOO competencies using Social Learning Theory (SLT) and emphasizing observation and experiential learning. Competencies include technical and non-technical skills, such as judgment and teamwork, which are vital for high-pressure aviation environments. This research examines SLT processes, EI levels, and FOO competencies among 72 students at the Akademi Penerbang Indonesia (API) Banyuwangi, determining the direct and indirect influences of Social Learning on competencies through EI. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results revealed that social learning significantly impacted EI and competencies (p < 0.05), with EI acting as both a direct and mediating factor. Students with higher EI demonstrated enhanced decision-making, problem-solving, and interpersonal collaboration, which are key to FOO roles. Findings suggest integrating EI-focused training, including simulations, role-playing, and feedback mechanisms, into FOO curricula to strengthen core competencies. This study contributes to aviation education by building on Bandura’s and Goleman’s theories, emphasizing how SLT and EI integration can better prepare students for real-world aviation challenges. By highlighting these elements’ importance, the research advocates for balanced technical and nontechnical training in future aviation education programs.

Abstract

This study examined the organizational engagement of Catholic educators in relation to a rationalized remuneration system. Conducted across six Catholic Higher Education Institutions in Region II, it employed a mixed-method research design. A survey was administered to 164 college faculty members with at least three years of tenure, selected through stratified random sampling. Focus group discussions complemented the quantitative findings. Results showed that Catholic educators had highly favorable assessments of their remuneration in terms of fairness, effectiveness, and conformity. They were fully engaged in instruction, Christian faith formation, community engagement, and financial management, but demonstrated lower engagement in research activities. A significant relationship was found between educators' perceptions of remuneration and their engagement in instruction, financial management, extension, and Christian faith formation. These findings guided the development of a rationalized remuneration system to enhance organizational engagement. The study has practical implications for Catholic school leaders in improving faculty compensation strategies to enhance engagement and retention.

Abstract

Effective financial literacy is critical for students in higher education institutions as it influences academic performance and overall success. This study examined the relationship between financial literacy and academic performance of business students in a Philippine higher education institution. A comprehensive quantitative-descriptive study was conducted with a sample of 172 Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) students. A validated, researcher-developed questionnaire was distributed to the sampled respondents via Google Forms. Data analysis includes the use of percentages and frequencies, the weighted mean, and the Pearson correlation coefficient. The study disclosed that the respondents were mostly female BSBA students aged 21–23 in their fourth year, from low-income families with at least one parent who was at least high school-educated. While they demonstrated strong knowledge of financial concepts like budgeting, saving, investing, and credit, their financial behaviors and attitudes were inconsistent. BSBA students identified all the academic performance factors considered in the study as keys to their success. However, demographic factors showed no significant relationship with students’ financial literacy. On the other hand, the study revealed a significant relationship between financial literacy and academic performance. Based on these findings, the study proposes a financial literacy program to help BSBA students make informed financial decisions, increase academic engagement, and enhance personal development, ultimately leading to improved academic outcomes. This study reinforces that higher education institutions should implement financial literacy programs focused on practical financial management competencies, as these positively influence students' academic engagement and overall success.
