Food security is affected by climate change since it is a climate-sensitive sector, especially in the Philippines, which is considered highly vulnerable country to climate change. Efforts to secure food in the country have been implemented by various sectors and organizations. Hence, the project on modeling organic production and enhancing climate resiliency in Malaybalay City. The study was undertaken to assess the adaptability and sustainability of organic urban gardening in enhancing climate resiliency among small-holder farmers and highlights lessons generated by the project collaborators. Data were collected through a pre and post evaluation scheme using a semi-structured questionnaire to determine community characteristics and needs before project implementation and the short-term impacts two years after the project implementation. SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis, frequencies, percentages, and means were used to analyze the data. The study was able to determine positive socio-economic characteristics and attitudes for the successful adoption of the project. The study revealed that the receiving community has a highly favorable attitude and willingness to adopt organic urban gardening for climate resiliency. Comparing the results of the pre-evaluation and the short-term impact assessment, it can be concluded that the community gained positive impacts due to the implementation of organic urban gardening or square-foot gardening for food security and climate resiliency by the project proponent. Social, economic, and environmental impacts were identified to have improved after project implementation. Thus, project scaling-up can be recommended.

This study describes the development and validation of an evaluation tool to measure the quality of OBE-based syllabi and its compliance to flexible learning. This tool made used a two-stage approach. In the development stage, the items were carefully generated based on the answers from the experts. The tool was then scrutinized and examined by validators to review the items including its content and language used. Thus, a 17-item evaluation tool was developed. In the validation stage, the tool was pilot tested on 49 respondents and found to have a good level of reliability. The results of the construct validity using EFA with 288 respondents from the HEIs faculties in the region showed that the scale has two factors. The performance criteria were composed of ten (10) items while there were seven (7) items in the teaching-learning process component. The findings concluded that interplay between performance criteria and teaching-learning process indicators can be used to ensure the quality of the flexible learning-compliant OBE-based syllabi. Thus, confirmation of the structure of the developed evaluation tool is highly recommended.

This study focused on the specific role of faculty in the sustainability of degree programs in Bukidnon State University and developed an experience-based framework. It was found that the implementation of flexible teaching within a class dictates an adjustment of the instructors’ role. Such adjustment requires the instructors to possess knowledge not just as an educator but to be versatile person. A good teacher in instruction implies many activities and performs to ensure that all the learners receive quality instruction. It was found that the faculty could be a resource provider, instructional and curriculum specialist, project coordinator, to name a few. It is concluded that the contribution of the faculty is the most critical success factor in the program's sustainability and development.

Higher Education Institutions require specific admission criteria to select the best candidates for a particular program. This study aims to assess the admission requirements and academic performance of the board and non-board course learners. Specifically, this quantitative study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design. The data came from randomly selected third-year college students in the different Board and Non-Board programs enrolled in the academic year 2020-2021. There were 286 respondents who took part in the study, 153 from the board course program, Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, and 133 from the non-board course program, Bachelor of Science in Information Technology. The data revealed that the most number of enrollees in the non-board course, BSIT is from the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) Strand, while most learners from the Board course, BSEE belong to the General Academic Strand (GAS). Further, findings showed that the High-school Grade Point Average and the College Academic Performance of students from the non-board course, BSIT, were moderately correlated, and a similar relationship is observed for the variables College Admission Test and GPA. Meanwhile, for the Board Course, BSEE, admission tests, and high-school GPA are predictors of college academic performance. On the other hand, high-school strands are not predictors of the BSEE student's GPA. In conclusion, the College admission tests and high-school GPA are essential admission requirements for the board and non-board programs to predict academic performance. However, the high-school strand can be a determining factor for the academic performance for the non-board course, but not for the board course.

A constructive alignment is an approach to outcome-based education which involves examining curriculum, discipline, and/or course level initiatives. This research sought to assess the match among the institutional outcomes, program outcomes, performance indicators, assessment, evaluation methods, and standards (IPOPIAEMS) in 20 undergraduate curricula. The researchers mainly used qualitative research methods like document analysis, curriculum mapping, and online-focused group discussion. Findings revealed that there is a high alignment of the curricula in the University. This means that five out of six dimensions components are constructively aligned. During the OFGD, the participants underscored the significance of using the institution's vision, mission, and goals as anchorage in crafting the institutional outcomes. Additionally, the majority of the participants highlighted that they based their performance indicators on CHED’s policies, standards, and guidelines (PSG). Regarding the participants' experiences in aligning their performance indicators and assessment methods, the programs' syllabi were valuable in determining their assessment methods for their PIs. One difficulty though was delineating between assessment and evaluation since both denote processes of learning measurement. However, while the former entails appraising a student's level of performance, the latter involves gauging the degree to which outcomes are attained based on a set of standards. In terms of the outcomes’ relevance to 21st century learning, they were found to be relevant to most of the seven cluster competencies except for computing technology which is given the least attention in higher education curricula. Since there is a high constructive curriculum alignment in the University, it is therefore concluded that the five elements of the curriculum, namely, the institutional outcomes (with the vision and mission of the HEI as an anchorage), program outcomes unique to a particular specialization, performance indicators, assessment, and standards are highly coherent except for the evaluation methods. It is recommended that evaluation method shall be continually calibrated to ensure its coherence with the other dimensions and that computing technology shall be mainstreamed in the curricula across all programs.

The study's primary purpose is to provide empirical information about the effects of perceived customer unfriendliness, emotional dissonance, and perceived stress on Filipino call center workers' affective organizational commitment. Also, the study aims to show how leader-member exchange (LMX) mediates the relationships between the three posited antecedents and affective commitment. The study proposed a hypothesized model based on insights from the literature. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used in testing the hypotheses using a dataset from a sample of 689 Filipino call center workers. The results revealed that emotional dissonance and perceived stress are consequences of perceived customer unfriendliness. They, in turn, have adverse effects on affective commitment. The results also indicated that LMX fully mediates the impact of perceived customer unfriendliness on affective commitment and partially mediates the stress-commitment relationship. The findings' discussion highlights the importance of stakeholders' intervention programs in reducing workers' emotional dissonance and perceived stress and implies that quality LMX initiated by the leaders may help reduce the adverse effects of customer-related stressors and psychological strains on the affective commitment of the call center workers.

A growing number of researches have demonstrated that exposure to suicide throughtelevision or newspaper leads to increased suicide risk in vulnerable individuals. Highlypublicized celebrity suicides are often rationalized and sensationalized by the media. Thisphenomenon may result in an imitative, contagious suicide effect. This study uses theBass diffusion model to forecast suicide deaths in the Philippines from 2020 to 2025 basedon suicide data by the World Health Organization (WHO) from 2000 to 2017.The Bassmodel assumes that exposure to suicide (media, social media, verbal exchange of suicidestories) increases suicide deaths based on the suicide contagion hypothesis. The modeldepicts the successive increases in suicide deaths across Filipino age groups and predictsa suicide diffusion process. The resulting Bass model also underscores the necessity of asuicide contagion intervention plan to address the country’s expected increase of suicide.

Organic manures have long been used by farmers for the availability of nutrients forplant growth, and to improve soil quality. But the kind and amount of organic media mostbeneficial to the growth of kangkong (Ipomoea aquatica Forssk.) and pechay (Brassica rapaL.) are uncertain. This study investigated the effects of growing media mixtures (GMM)with different amounts of chicken manure and vermicast on the growth and productivityof the selected vegetables. The study aimed to assess the quality of the GMM with differentamounts of chicken manure and vermicast in terms of pH, organic matter, total nitrogen,extractable phosphorus, and exchangeable potassium, determine the effect of differentGMM on the growth and productivity of I. aquatica and B. rapa in terms of average plantheight, leaf width, the number of leaves, and fresh weight of plants, and determine thebest-growing media mixtures for the growth and productivity of the experimental plants.Results show that the growing media mixture with optimum pH range, high OM, N, P,and K contents have biological and nutrient essential for plant growth and productivity.T10 yielded kangkong with the broadest leaf width, the greatest number of leaves, andheaviest fresh weight, while T9 produced the tallest, broadest leaf, greatest number ofleaves, and heaviest pechay. Overall, T10 is the best growing media for kangkong. WhereasT9 is optimum for cultivating pechay. Results indicated that chicken manure and vermicastenriched growing media mixture build healthy soil for improved growth and productivityof kangkong and pechay.

The study aimed to assess the quality of the GMM with differentamounts of chicken manure and vermicast in terms of pH, organic matter, total nitrogen,extractable phosphorus, and exchangeable potassium, determine the effect of differentGMM on the growth and productivity of I. aquatica and B. rapa in terms of average plantheight, leaf width, the number of leaves, and fresh weight of plants, and determine thebest-growing media mixtures for the growth and productivity of the experimental plants.Results show that the growing media mixture with optimum pH range, high OM, N, P,and K contents have biological and nutrient essential for plant growth and productivity.T10 yielded kangkong with the broadest leaf width, the greatest number of leaves, andheaviest fresh weight, while T9 produced the tallest, broadest leaf, greatest number ofleaves, and heaviest pechay. Overall, T10 is the best growing media for kangkong. WhereasT9 is optimum for cultivating pechay. Results indicated that chicken manure and vermicastenriched growing media mixture build healthy soil for improved growth and productivityof kangkong and pechay.","PeriodicalId":233251,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"197 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131459799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to determine the speaking proficiency of L2 learners undergoing a computer-assisted language learning program in Southern Christian College in the school year 2015-2016. It specifically aimed to find the weighted study score and speech recognition score of the students in the Job Enabling English Proficiency or DynEd class, to identify their speaking proficiency, and to determine whether their scores in JEEP Start are significantly related to their speaking proficiency. Fifty students were identified to participate in the lottery method. Their scores in the JEEP Start were summarized through descriptive statistical tools like percentage, frequency count and mean, and their speaking proficiency was classified and encoded in a spreadsheet. The relationship between their scores and speaking proficiency was determined through regression analysis. Results revealed that the majority of the students had excellent WSS, and more than half of them had high speech recognition performance and were competent speakers of English. Further, the study found that speech recognition was a significant predictor of the students’ speaking proficiency. Based on the results, the researcher concluded that CALL is an excellent venue for L2 learners to enhance their speaking proficiency.
本研究旨在确定2015-2016学年在南方基督教学院参加计算机辅助语言学习项目的第二语言学习者的口语水平。本研究旨在找出Job Enabling English Proficiency或DynEd班学生的加权学习分数和语音识别分数，以确定其口语能力，并确定其在JEEP Start中的分数是否与口语能力显著相关。50名学生被确定参加抽奖方法。他们在JEEP Start中的分数通过描述性统计工具(如百分比、频率计数和平均值)进行汇总，他们的口语熟练程度被分类并编码在电子表格中。通过回归分析确定其得分与口语水平之间的关系。结果显示，大部分学生的WSS表现优异，超过一半的学生具有较高的语音识别能力和较好的英语口语能力。此外，研究发现，语音识别是学生口语熟练程度的重要预测指标。基于研究结果，研究者得出结论，CALL是二语学习者提高口语水平的绝佳场所。
