Abstract

This study examines the well-being of street children, focusing on how they navigate daily struggles and find comfort despite challenging circumstances. With an estimated 150 million street children worldwide, including 250,000 in the Philippines, these children face unstable living conditions, abuse, and limited access to basic services. Drawing on Kaginhawaan, a Filipino wellness theory, and using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, this research explores how social, emotional, economic, occupational, and spiritual factors shape their resilience. Through participant narratives, five key themes emerged: (1) Atypical Family, revealing broken or nontraditional family ties; (2) Street Hustles, highlighting the survival work children engage in to meet basic needs; (3) Street Struggles, addressing bullying, exploitation, and lost childhoods; (4) Burden of Survival, focusing on exhaustion, debt, and social stigma; and (5) Faith in Survival, which illustrates how spirituality provides strength, comfort, and hope. These themes reflect how children construct meaning and preserve dignity amid harsh realities. The findings affirm that even in survival mode, children draw from internal and external resources, particularly faith, social bonds, and emotional resilience, to endure. Rooted in Kaginhawaan, the study emphasizes the importance of nurturing environments, compassion, and holistic interventions that support both immediate needs and long-term well-being. It highlights the complexity of street children's lives and how they find comfort not in the absence of struggle, but in their response to it. Ultimately, the research calls for policies and programs grounded in empathy and cultural insight to address the multifaceted needs of this vulnerable population.

Abstract

This interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) study delves into the personal experiences of children who feel unheard within the context of sibling rivalry. It focuses on how these children perceive their roles in the family, particularly in situations where they feel overshadowed or ignored in comparison to their siblings. The study involved semi-structured interviews with seven (7) children aged 18-37 years old, who shared their feelings and stories about sibling rivalry, especially when they felt excluded from family attention or support. The analysis revealed three (3) key themes: (1) Favoritism, which refers to the practice of giving unfair preferential treatment to one person or group at the expense of another. (2) Detachment, described as an emotional withdrawal to avoid pain or rejection, often develops in childhood. (3) Self-Doubt, referred to as the feeling of questioning one’s own worth and decisions, often caused by being ignored or dismissed by important people like parents. The study underscores the importance of fostering a more open, inclusive family environment where every child's voice is valued and heard, especially for those who may feel lost in the shadows of sibling dynamics. These findings highlight the emotional toll of sibling rivalry and suggest ways for families to better address the needs of all children, ensuring they feel seen and supported.

Abstract

This Paper explores the role of learner agency in promoting autonomous learning within the English language classrooms of Far Western University, Nepal. The paper basically focuses on how university students perceive and exercise learner agency, the factors shaping its development, and its reflection in actual classroom practices. Employing a qualitative ethnographic research method, information was collected over a year from four selected campuses through focus group discussions and classroom observations. The recorded data were manually transcribed, translated, and coded for thematic interpretation. The paper highlights that learner agency is minimally exercised, with student engagement largely confined to teacher-dominated instructional structures. Despite the availability of resources such as internet access, digital tools, and libraries, their integration into autonomous learning practices was limited. Students displayed low confidence, strong dependence on teachers, and anxiety driven by exam-oriented education systems. These attitudes, shaped by entrenched cultural norms and institutional rigidity, restricted students' participation in goal-setting, material selection, and self-evaluation. While isolated instances of student initiative, such as informal use of smartphones, were observed, they did not translate into sustained autonomous learning behaviors. The findings suggest the need for a multidimensional reform agenda that includes pedagogical shifts toward learner-centered strategies, institutional support for flexible curricula and assessment systems, and capacity-building for both students and teachers. This research offers valuable insights for policymakers, educators, and curriculum designers aiming to enhance learner agency and support lifelong learning competencies in the context of Nepalese higher education.

Abstract

This study explored the challenges faced by Grade 4 public school educators in teaching Good Manners and Right Conduct (GMRC) and the strategies they use to address them. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, eight (8) teachers from the Bongabong North District with at least two years of teaching experience were interviewed. Findings revealed several challenges, including cultural diversity, lack of student discipline, social media influence, behavioral issues, limited teaching materials, and insufficient training. Despite these difficulties, teachers applied strategies such as storytelling, role modeling, and experiential learning to promote moral values and discipline among students. The study also emphasized the importance of a well-managed classroom, where student cooperation and engagement play a key role in the success of GMRC instruction. Furthermore, teachers stressed that parental and community involvement is vital in reinforcing values education beyond the school setting. In addition, this research contributes to the application of qualitative methodology in education by demonstrating how phenomenological inquiry can capture the lived experiences of teachers and provide insights into value-laden instruction.

Abstract

This study explores the personal experiences of elementary teachers using digital simulations to teach difficult science topics. Using a phenomenological approach, the research looks at how eight (8) science teachers make sense of their roles when using these digital tools. Through deep interviews, the study found that simulations are more than just tools; they change how teachers think about and plan their lessons. The findings show that simulations help teachers turn abstract ideas into "real" experiences for students, which changes the way teachers decide to explain complex topics. While teachers faced frustrations like poor internet or a lack of training, they learned to adapt their teaching styles to overcome these hurdles. This study goes beyond just listing the pros and cons; it explains how teachers’ mindsets shift when they bring technology into the science classroom, offering new insights into the deep connection between a teacher’s choices and the tools they use.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the fluctuating number of participants at LPK Takemura Indonesia, Bandung Regency, and the urgent need to improve its quality management system in order to compete in the digital era and meet industry requirements. The purpose of this research is to examine how the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) can enhance the performance of LPK Takemura, particularly in terms of sales (training participant enrollment), customer satisfaction, and internal institutional management. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Informants were selected using purposive sampling, involving the founder, director, administrative staff, and active training participants. The findings indicate that most TQM principles have been implemented at LPK Takemura, including customer focus, employee involvement, and continuous improvement. This implementation has positively impacted institutional performance, especially in increasing the number of participants (sales), improving customer satisfaction, and strengthening internal management. Moreover, the integration of a gender perspective in training contributes to women’s empowerment, promotes inclusive entrepreneurship, and fosters a more equitable and participatory work environment. The implementation of TQM is proven not only to improve the institution’s sales performance but also to generate broader social and economic implications.

Abstract

Electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM) has become a strategic approach to support the digital transformation of human resource practices in organizations. This study analyzes the implementation of Waktoo, an internally developed e-HRM system at PT Kazee Digital Indonesia, through a qualitative case study. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, supported by manual coding and triangulation to ensure credibility. The SWOT analysis revealed several strengths, including face-detection–based attendance integrated with payroll and a user-friendly interface, while weaknesses included technical bugs, limited use of non-core features, and the absence of training modules. Opportunities include AI integration, HRIS market expansion, and the rising demand for digital HR solutions, whereas threats arise from established commercial HRIS providers, diverse user requirements, and system reliability issues. Based on these findings, strategic recommendations are formulated to optimize Waktoo’s development and competitiveness, such as adding HR development features, enhancing system stability, and strengthening customization capabilities. The study contributes theoretically by integrating SWOT with qualitative insights in evaluating e-HRM adoption and practically by providing strategies for improving the relevance and sustainability of in-house HR digitalization initiatives.

Abstract

Vocational education plays a crucial role in preparing students for the creative economy, requiring teaching methods that not only build technical competencies but also foster creativity and socio-cultural innovation. However, little is known about how these pedagogical strategies are implemented in Indonesian vocational schools, particularly within the arts and creative economy fields. This study explores how teaching methods in the Creative Arts and Creative Economy programs at SMK Negeri 3 Bandung support students’ creativity and socio-cultural innovation. Using a qualitative exploratory design, data were collected through interviews and focus group discussions with 7 teachers and 15 students, selected via purposive sampling. Thematic analysis was applied to identify patterns, supported by triangulation across teacher and student perspectives, and assisted with NVivo software to enhance systematic coding and analysis. Four interrelated themes emerged: (1) diverse and participatory teaching methods; (2) creativity as a core outcome fostered through experimentation and tolerance of failure; (3) integration of socio-cultural heritage into modern projects; and (4) teachers acting as facilitators of innovation, while addressing challenges such as limited resources, time constraints, unequal participation, and varied student preferences. The findings confirm and extend existing theories of creativity, socio-cultural learning, and 21st-century skills, while highlighting the importance of balancing autonomy with structured guidance. Beyond education, the study contributes to broader social science and management discussions by showing how culturally grounded pedagogical practices can enhance innovation capacity and human capital development in the creative economy. Practically, the study recommends training teachers in flexible pedagogy, enhancing digital resources, allowing more time for inquiry, and embedding cultural heritage into vocational education.

Abstract

This study examines lexical convergence and semantic variation between Cebuano and Hiligaynon in the Philippines, focusing on shared terminologies in scripted spoken discourse. Despite their close geographical and cultural proximity, few studies have systematically explored how these languages converge and diverge in vocabulary and meaning in context. The corpus consisted of recorded radio dramas from DYHB RMN Bacolod and DYHP RMN Cebu, specifically Handumanan sa Isa ka Ambalahon and Handumanan sa Usa ka Awit. Terminologies were collected through manual qualitative coding using a researcher-developed tally sheet and validated by expert native speakers to ensure analytical trustworthiness. Guided by descriptive, qualitative content analysis and structural analysis within an established qualitative discourse-analytic and translation studies framework, the study examined semantic nuances and grammatical function, stress patterns, and contextual use of shared lexical items. Findings indicate significant yet non-uniform lexical convergence, with some terms exhibiting parallel meanings across both languages while others show semantic variation influenced by grammatical function, stress patterns, and discourse context. These results suggest that, although Cebuano and Hiligaynon share a linguistic heritage, shared lexical forms do not always yield equivalent meanings. By foregrounding meaning-in-use in scripted spoken discourse, the study extends prior qualitative and discourse-based analyses of Philippine languages, contributing to a deeper understanding of lexical convergence and semantic variation, and offering theory-informed implications for multilingual education, instructional material development, and effective communication in linguistically diverse contexts.

Abstract

The role of sports in higher education extends beyond physical development, fostering essential life skills such as teamwork, resilience, and leadership. This research explores how athletic participation at the City College of Calamba (CCC) contributes to the holistic formation of future-ready graduates. Despite anecdotal evidence supporting the transformative impact of sports, there is limited empirical research on how these experiences shape long-term professional and personal development, particularly in the local context. This research aims to examine the influence of athletic involvement on the personal and professional growth of graduates, focusing on the development of teamwork, resilience, and leadership. It seeks to address gaps in understanding how sports participation equips students with skills that transcend the playing field, aligning with CCC’s mission to produce globally competitive and socially responsible professionals. A qualitative case study design was employed, analyzing responses from 20 alumni (2020–2024) who were student-athletes. Data were collected via Google Forms using open-ended questions, and thematic analysis was conducted following Braun and Clarke’s framework. The study explored themes related to discipline, leadership, resilience, and career readiness, grounded in the participants’ lived experiences. The findings reveal that athletic participation significantly enhances character formation, time management, and emotional resilience. Key themes include the transfer of teamwork skills to professional settings, the development of leadership through shared responsibilities, and the ability to overcome adversity. Graduates reported applying these competencies in education, public service, business management, and technical fields. The study also highlights the need for structured support systems to balance academic and athletic demands. This research contributes to institutional knowledge by demonstrating the long-term benefits of sports participation in higher education. It offers actionable insights for enhancing CCC’s athletic programs, emphasizing leadership development, mental health support, and alumni engagement. The study underscores the value of sports as a co-curricular platform for holistic student formation, aligning with global educational goals. The research limitations include a small, purposive sample and reliance on self-reported data, which may introduce bias. The absence of non-athlete comparisons and the retrospective nature of responses also constrain generalizability. Future study could employ mixed methods and longitudinal designs to validate findings.
