This study aimed to describe the essence of the lived experiences of Technology and Livelihood Education Teachers on the challenges and benefits of facilitating online learning. This study utilized a qualitative method with a phenomenological perspective and a transcendental design. The result revealed three (3) superordinate themes with various subordinate themes for the ‘challenges’ of TLE teachers in facilitating online learning, which include: (1) Challenging Teaching Tasks; (2) Technological Infrastructure Availability and Management; and (3) Assessment and Monitoring of Student Learning. On the other hand, five (5) superordinate themes emerged under ‘benefits’ of facilitating online learning, including (1) Improvement of technical skills; (2) Improvement of communication skills; (3) Access to learning resources; (4) Fulfilling job; and (5) Learning convenience. This study suggested that teachers and students must have access to Information and Communications Technology (ICT) resources and facilities, both groups must receive adequate training, and curriculum materials must be digitized. Likewise, the school administrators may allocate more funds for the schools to have internal resources. This is encouraged for the academic program to function.

The study aimed to ascertain the support system, strategies, and self-efficacy of preschool teachers in handling learners' separation anxiety. It also determined the significant relationship between the support system and preschool teachers' self-efficacy. It also determined if there is a significant relationship between the strategies and the preschool teachers' self-efficacy. Descriptive and correlational method was used in the study. Moreover, the quantitative results were supported by a qualitative interview with the preschool teachers. The respondents of the study were the 127 preschool teachers in Sarangani Division. The instrument used was a researcher-made questionnaire validated by the experts and was pilot tested. The results showed that the teachers' support system was a moderate extent. Also, they have used overprotection, avoidance reinforcement, encouragement, and rewards to handle learners' separation anxiety to a great extent. Additionally, their self-efficacy is to a high extent. Lastly, the teachers shared the following success stories: enjoying the company of the learners, being a resourceful preschool teacher, showing love and compassion towards the learners, collaborating with the learners, and extending their Patience for the learners. Based on the results, the researcher developed an intervention program dubbed PROJECT SEPAX.

Modular Distance Learning is one of the learning modalities in the new normal using teacher-made modules with learning tasks based on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). This online descriptive quantitative research investigated the extent of challenges faced by the Araling Panlipunan and Social Science teachers from the ten districts of the Schools Division Office of Surigao City for the school year 2020-2021, in which purposive sampling was used. Mean and standard deviation were the statistical tools used to treat the data. In a nutshell, the result reveals a moderate difficulty encountered by the teacher-respondents in facilitating modular distance learning, with an overall mean of 2.78 and a standard deviation of 0.71. These struggles manifest because handling modular classes during the pandemic was a surprise. The specific findings show that the Development of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) and Quality Assurance topped the challenges of teachers. Other factors, such as Production, Distribution, Retrieval of SLMs, and Learning Assessment and Monitoring, exhibit a low to moderate degree of difficulty. Despite this COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have continually facilitated the educative processes. However, they should be more capacitated to equip themselves with relevant knowledge and skills on the rudiments of preparing the aforementioned learning resources as supplemental learning materials, in-person learning engagement, and even other applicable learning platforms.

The study delves into the perception of the parents of learners whose first language is English towards Mother Tongue-based Multilingual Education (MTBMLE). The questionnaire accumulates the perception of parents as important stakeholders in MTBMLE implementation to provide insight into family language policy in the Philippines. Native English speakers in this study refer to Filipino children who use English more comfortably than any other language at home in the Central Philippines region, with Sinugbuanong Binisaya as the local mother tongue. The study uses Personality Implicit Theory, Threshold Theory, and Sociocultural Theory to describe how these parents feel about their children’s mother tongue acquisition. Findings revealed that parents whose children are native English speakers agreed to the benefits of the mother tongue in the language and sociocultural development of the learners. Thus, native English speakers may unconsciously learn the language of the environment (Sinugbuanong Binisaya) when they converse and interact with the people of the said language. Moreover, seeking the perception of parents of Native English learners provides an important guide for any other institutions across the globe that have not implemented the MTBMLE fully as a subject to consider its implementation. It opens the possibility of training parents on an informed family language policy which assists children in learning MTBMLE, as they greatly help their children's language acquisition in the Cebuano language and appreciate the local culture.

The pandemic has brought disruption in the educational setting. This sudden disorder has to be handled properly and quickly by the management, specifically the middle managers, to ensure a smooth delivery of learning and teaching. Holding on to the assumption that middle managers have a special function during a crisis, this study explored the instructional leadership of middle managers during the pandemic in a private institution using the Philippine Professional Standards for Supervisors. Using qualitative phenomenological design and employing focus group discussion as a data gathering technique to inquire on the middle managers’ handling of the academic condition, results reveal that implementation of the curriculum was smoothly done even if they are not well-equipped with the current situation. This study clearly emphasized that middle managers' critical function, especially in turbulent times, for the smooth delivery of instructions by monitoring the teachers' well-being professionally and emotionally and providing needed academic assistance. Hence, we recommend that academic institutions enhance the managerial aspect of middle managers by including disaster and risk mitigation. It is also recommended to look after the welfare of the middle managers. The key role they play is crucial to sustaining the delivery of academic excellence.

Performance tasks are the major requirements that senior high school students demonstrate, especially from the core art subject, Contemporary Philippine Arts from the Regions (CPAR) in De La Salle Santiago Zobel School (DLSZ). CPAR provides annual strand-based art-integrated exhibitions and performances in various strands in DLSZ. Amidst the ongoing pandemic and the new hybrid concurrent class setup in the setting, three (3) varied art-integrated performance tasks were mounted. The aim of this small-scale ethnographic action research study is to analyze the development of the art-integrated performance tasks through document analysis in the Arts & Design Track, HUMSS, and ABM strands; identify its educational objectives by conducting a structured interview of the teachers involved (u=9); explore the perceptions of the integration from selected students (n=7); and evaluate the success ratings based on the educational objectives of the integration by conducting a survey from the students (n=149) using 5-point Likert scale. Results revealed that the art integration of the subjects is generally perceived as connected and the art-integrated performance tasks from each strand are deemed beneficial, challenging, excellent, and very successful. Further studies are needed to discuss the issues in a larger context and on the socioemotional impact of the students and teachers involved.

This study determined the impact of flexible learning on the politics and economics of educational management. This was conducted to unveil challenges and opportunities encountered by teachers, their implications on the politics and economics of educational administration, and proposed solutions. This was shown on all nine secondary school principals in Zone 3, Division of Catanduanes, Philippines using mixed methods with complete enumeration. The “serious problems” dealt with challenges of the scarcity of supplies and more time printing modules (3.67%), monitoring student’s learning on the difficulty in validating performance (3.89%), difficulty in tracking students (3.78%), and teacher’s health risk (3.56%); retrieval of modules like late submission; checking and evaluating on the difficulty in validating performance and low passing rate. For feedbacking, poor internet connection, and poor parental support. The opportunities for teachers are quality time with family, good savings, and sound health, and very less on developing professionalism like innovating and improving expertise in ICT. The conclusions drawn were the majority are “aged professionals” who do not prioritize higher studies”; 11 years more in service, and most participated in “division level trainings” only. The impact on economics reveals a scarcity of resources that caused teachers to spend personal money; capital outlay funds were spent on printing machines. For politics, it forged strong partnerships among stakeholders for support from LGU and community and private organizations.

A school tracer study is a research method used to track the progress and outcomes of a school's graduates over time. In addition, school tracer studies can help to identify trends and patterns in education and employment outcomes across different countries and regions, allowing for cross-country comparisons and the identification of best practices. A tracer study on the Master of Science Graduates in Disaster Risk Management of the Central Bicol State University of Agriculture determined the employability of the Master of Science in Disaster Risk Management (MSDRM) graduates to provide input to curriculum innovation. The majority of the tracer studies reviewed were from the undergraduate and master’s levels. This tracer study on graduates of the doctoral programs, EdD and PhD of Bicol College Inc. is a novel undertaking. The descriptive–quantitative research design was used employing the saturated sampling technique. A database of these graduates was established, and it was found that lifelong learning and service to the community are very relevant among doctoral degree graduates. Open career for postdoctoral studies is a challenge to them. Results showed that the majority of the respondents are females, with ages ranging from 40-60 years old. It took them 3-5 years to complete the degree, enroll in the degree program for professional growth and mostly be promoted after completion. Ten respondents obtained recognition and awards at the local, regional, national, and international level. One graduate even passed the Career Executive Service Written Examination, a qualification for directorship.

The Nurse Licensure Examination is conducted by the Professional Regulatory Commission to screen Nursing graduates who will be licensed to practice nursing. The study aimed to determine the academic and non-academic profiles of the respondents and their possible correlation to the respondents’ Nurse Licensure Examination performance. Using total enumeration, sixty-seven Nursing graduates of the pioneering batch under CMO 14 s. 2009 were used as respondents. The academic profile included Nursing Care Management (NCM), Nurse Aptitude Test (NAT), English Proficiency, and Nursing Enhancement Program (NEP). The non-academic profile covered Emotional Quotient, the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (OLSAT), and the Schedule of Examination. The study used the non-experimental descriptive-correlational research design. Frequency and percentage, mean, Pearson r, Chi-Square, and Linear Regression analysis were the statistical tools employed in the study. Results revealed that all individual parameters in the academic profile are significantly correlated to the licensure examination performance. On the other hand, only the OLSAT in the non-academic profile showed a significant correlation to the licensure examination performance. Finally, the regression model obtained in the study is written as NLEP = 18.139 + 0.413 (NCM) + 0.018 (NAT) – 0.195 (EngProf) + 0.399 (NEP).
