The study aimed to identify the extension services in terms of community needs specifically economic, health, socio-cultural, and environmental needs of Sitio Aldea, Barangay Natividad in San Narciso, Zambales. The findings were used as basis in formulating a community extension program towards community development. The needs assessment, conducted by Philippine Merchant Marine Academy (PMMA), through its Department of Research, Development and Extension (DRDE), is important in identifying extension services that can effectively meet the priority needs of selected barangays in Zambales, which in this case, 3 barangays are selected dividing the research into three phases, and this is phase 1. This descriptive study used a survey questionnaire which consists of parts identifying the demographic profiles, economic, health, socio-cultural, and environmental-related needs of the community. The data gathered from 559 respondents revealed that Sitio Aldea is ‘highly in need’ of environmental, health and socio-cultural aspects and it is only in ‘need’ of economic aspects. Given these, an implementable community extension program and activities has been proposed. Its implementation is recommended, as well as an in-depth study on specific findings such as unemployment, education, and source of income. Finally, the replication of the study, to be conducted in another barangay for phase 2, is advocated.

The paper explores the debate over incorporating literature into English as a second language (ESL) classrooms, underscoring the importance of addressing learners’ expectations and interests. Emphasising learners’ expectations and interests not only enhances engagement but also fosters a deeper appreciation for language nuances, cultural contexts, and diverse perspectives embedded within literary works. Therefore, the study aims to understand learners’ perspectives and challenges in learning literature, and assesses the impact on their literature academic achievements. The study utilised a quantitative approach that involved seventy pre-service teaching English as a second language (TESL) teachers enrolled in several literature courses. A questionnaire with multiple-choice and open-ended questions were used to gather relevant data, and responses were analysed using frequency counts and cross-tabulations. The academic grades of the learners were analysed and cross-tabulated with the questionnaire items. Overall, learners expressed positive views of literature, enjoying the learning process and emphasising the need for scaffolding and support in understanding the literature texts covered. These findings suggest implications for educators in planning and delivering literature courses, shaping how ESL learners engage with literature.

This qualitative study examines the English writing experiences of 12 primary schoolchildren (PSC) from a vernacular school in Malaysia, employing Herrington and Kervin’s principles of authentic learning as its theoretical framework. Data were collected through in-depth one-on-one interviews, e-diaries, and unstructured non-participant observations, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the participants effectively employed authentic learning strategies (AuLStra) in their writing activities, which included online reflective writing, collaborative online writing, and peer feedback. The use of AuLStra facilitated a collaborative environment where participants engaged in authentic writing tasks, benefiting from teacher scaffolding and peer assistance. Participants noted that reflecting on meaningful personal topics and engaging in creative writing through online collaboration significantly enhanced their writing fluency. The study highlights the impact of authentic learning practices on writing development and offers insights into the pedagogical and theoretical implications of integrating such strategies in primary education.

This study investigates the moderated mediation relationship between societal mattering, intercultural competence (ICC), and intercultural helping tendency (IHT) among university students. Societal mattering, reflecting individuals perceived relevance within broader societal contexts, is hypothesized to affect IHT indirectly through ICC. This research aligns with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4 (quality education) and SDG 16 (peace, justice, and strong institutions) by advancing evidence on how educational experiences cultivate intercultural understanding and prosocial engagement in diverse communities. The study employs two moderators, namely Model United Nations involvement (MUNI) and new media literacy (NML), to assess their influence on these interactions. Using the G*Power sample size calculator, 97 purposively selected university students were recruited. Data collection utilized validated instruments, including the cultural intelligence scale, helping attitude scale, university mattering scale (UM-S), new media literacy scale (NMLS), and a demographic questionnaire. The data were analyzed using moderated mediation modeling with PROCESS Macro Model 76. Results indicate societal mattering indirectly impacts IHT via ICC, particularly for students with moderate or high MUNI and low NML. The findings highlight MUN value in fostering IHT and ICC, informing policies for multicultural education.

The current study seeks to determine the challenges encountered by preschool educators’ pre-numerical skill pedagogical challenges. A qualitative approach, namely interviews, was employed and conducted among six experienced preschool teachers to acquire in-depth insights into the challenges encountered in inculcating pre-numerical skills. The six respondents were recruited via purposive sampling, namely maximum variation sampling, to fulfil specific criteria. Four primary themes were revealed, namely i) Theme 1: teachers lack specific guidance due to the highly general Kurikulum Standard Prasekolah Kebangsaan (KSPK); ii) Theme 2: students from low socioeconomic backgrounds exhibit deficiencies in pre-numerical knowledge; iii) Theme 3: teachers demonstrate an insufficient competence in pre-numerical teaching pedagogies; and iv) Theme 4: an inadequate awareness among teachers regarding the importance of pre-numerical skills exists. The implications highlighted the requirement for tailored support and training to improve preschool teachers’ pre-numerical skill pedagogies. The findings also contributed to the curricular improvement to assist preschool educators in providing more effective pedagogical practices, especially pre-numerical skills. Future scholars can conduct a more in-depth investigation of effective teaching strategies and interventions to aid students from low socioeconomic backgrounds in mastering pre-numerical competencies.

This quantitative research investigated the integration of mobile learning in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) within Indonesian higher education. This research adopts a two-phase data collection approach, using a structured questionnaire distributed to 134 lecturers from 86 universities and follow-up interviews with 11 selected lecturers. In analyzing this research, Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26.0 used to provide comprehensive insights into lecturers’ experiences, availability, effectiveness of mobile learning, and adequacy of facilities and content design. The results reveal a general positive attitude towards mobile learning integration (mean score 4.29 out of 5), with particular challenges identified, such as minimal classroom facilities and difficulties in content design. The implications show the importance of combining technology with teaching and support, while the conclusion points out readiness, benefits, and challenges in EFL instruction. At the same time, the conclusion highlights readiness, benefits, and challenges, serving as a guide for further exploration and development in EFL instruction. The importance of this research is intended in delivering and analyzing the development of technology used, readiness of lecturers and facilities challenging, and aligning technology with teaching practice. The study’s limitations encompass potential over-reliance on self-reported data and limited geographical and institutional scope, with recommendations for future mixed-method research, expansion, collaboration, and continuous training and investment in classroom infrastructure.

The primary purpose of this study was to determine: i) experiences; ii) various resources; iii) varied activities; iv) 21st-century skills acquisition; v) challenges experienced; and vi) solutions to the challenges of the pre-service elementary teachers in blended learning. The study employed qualitative research and utilized Straussian grounded theory as a research design to guide data collection and coding to identify emerging categories and generate theory. Purposive sampling was employed to select the ten pre-service elementary informants with experience with blended learning. In analyzing the data gathered, Strauss and Corbin’s coding methods, namely open, axial, and selective coding, were employed. The six themes were created based on the raw responses of informants, namely: i) varied online resources; ii) tangible learning materials; iii) varied learning activities; iv) acquired 21st-century skills; v) challenges of blended learning; and vi) addressing the challenges. A theory emerged, “magma theory”, which further strengthens the characterization of having “shared experiences”, as manifested by the pre-service elementary teachers in this blended learning. The primary findings of this study were that pre-service teachers can overcome challenges in blended learning with adequate support from tools. Furthermore, they can also improve their 21st-century skills through appropriate activities that contribute to lifelong learning.

This article investigates the critical issue of reading skill acquisition among preschoolers in Malaysia, particularly in the context of educational disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Through a qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews with five Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) preschool educators, the research identifies several significant challenges: a lack of specialized reading modules for non-native Malay speakers, communication barriers, need for differentiated instruction and more engaging and interactive content. Furthermore, the study underscores the vital role of parental involvement in reinforcing literacy development at home. These findings highlight the urgent need for a structured and culturally relevant reading module, such as the proposed Saya Boleh Baca (I-SaBoBa) module, specifically designed to address the needs of Malaysian preschool children. The study concludes that addressing these gaps is essential for fostering early literacy skills, which are critical for future academic achievement. The proposed module seeks to mitigate these challenges by equipping educators and parents with effective tools to enhance children’s reading proficiency within a supportive and engaging environment.

Flexible learning (FL) is a method that allows learners to have freedom in how, what, when, and where they learn. For teachers, implementing various teaching strategies and approaches is essential to overcome educational challenges and effectively meet the needs of learners. This research study was conducted to explore teachers lived experiences during FL at Visayas State University (VSU) in Baybay City, Leyte. A descriptive phenomenological method was used to investigate the richness and depth of the informants’ lived experiences. The seven participants were interviewed: five from the VSU Main Campus and two from the satellite campuses. The participants shared their experiences through in-depth interviews. The findings revealed that during the pandemic, teachers faced challenges due to the abrupt changes in the learning management system (LMS). However, with the administrative support, the participants managed to adjust and learn new learning modalities. The study suggests the need to strengthen and continue the professional development of teachers in using LMSs for sustainability. It also recommends exploring the development and adaptation of interactive online modules to keep up with digitalization as part of 21st-century skills.

The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between teachers perceived external prestige (PEP), person-organization fit (POF), and organizational identification (OI). Based on the social identity theory (SIT), 220 teachers from 9 private undergraduate colleges in Yunnan Province, China, were the participants. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). The analysis reveals that OI is positively and significantly influenced by teachers’ PEP and POF. Furthermore, POF mediates the connection of PEP with OI. Additionally, recognizing the importance of POF for private school teachers, as well as the significance of meeting social and psychological needs, is crucial. Therefore, private colleges in Yunnan should enhance their external prestige while optimizing the mediating mechanism of POF to strengthen teachers’ OI.
