Existing and emerging disaster-risks for school-aged children served as the primary consideration for the conceptualization of this study. Using the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, this study analyzed the needs of the clientele, designed, and developed a DRRM extension program for school-aged children, and implemented and evaluated the program. The study involved school administrators, teachers, parents and their school-aged children in five landslide and earthquake-prone barangays in Bukidnon. Data were gathered through questionnaires, interviews, and FGDs. The needs were the basis for the design and development of the DRRM extension program for school- aged children. The training program included lessons on introduction to DRRM; DRRM in school, child-centered DRRM and CEPC, conduct of drill, and, managing emergencies and disasters.

This study developed an empirical model that will build the culture of research in thebasic education. The study was mainly quantitative involving the collection of primary datafrom 400 basic education teachers intended to determine the dimensions of organizationalcharacteristics and culture of research using principal component analysis of exploratoryfactor analysis (EFA). After this, the impact of the organizational characteristics on theculture of research was identified using the multiple linear regression analysis (MLR).Exploratory factor analysis revealed that there were three dimensions of organizationalcharacteristics which included institutional support and reward system, strategy, andstructure. The culture of research was also revealed to have three dimensions including theallocation of knowledge and skills training and development and resources, maximizationof incentives and personal and professional opportunities, and integration of researchinto the school routine. Given that these dimensions are adopted and well implemented,the culture of research is highly likely to be built. The regression analysis disclosed thatthe three dimensions of the organizational characteristics were significant predictors ofthe culture of research in basic education with their linear combination for a very highvariation in the culture of research.

Research competitiveness among higher education institutions is vital for knowledgegeneration and innovation. It leads to international recognition and tertiary educationquality that promotes the nation’s sustainable growth and development. This has led theresearchers to study the emergent behaviors of 63 higher education institutions in SoutheastAsia through the data sets provided by the University Ranking of Academic Performance(URAP) in 2018. Data taken from URAP were on articles, citation and total documents,article impact total, citation impact total, and international collaborations that werecategorized into three major dimensions through factor analysis of research productivity,research impact, and international collaboration. Cluster analysis was used to describe theASEAN universities by cluster based on their characteristics. These features were then usedas inputs to calculate the synergies. The study found that the research competitiveness ofhigher education institutions in Southeast Asia is high when there is an increase in researchimpact, research productivity, and international collaboration. As research productivityincreases, HEIs can establish more research collaboration. The researches made have tomake an impact in the fields of specialization to create more collaboration. The variationsof research competitiveness in HEIs from progressive countries in Southeast Asia are lessthan the variations in the HEIs of developing countries.

Understanding how speech acts works in conversation is significant. A positiveexpression may be deemed an insult depending on the shared background knowledgeof the interlocutors. Thus, this study aimed to identify the speech acts embedded in theutterances of the characters of the Game of Thrones. A descriptive qualitative research wasused employing speech acts theory as a guide for analysis. The locutionary acts found in theutterances dominantly indicated a fall intonation contour despite the change of intentionof the speaker which indicates that the characters are conscious of the utterance, arearistocrats and are educated who know how to hold their temper in worst circumstances.The illocutionary acts in the utterances are dominantly assertive, followed by commissive,directive, expressive, and declarative. This implies that the characters of the Game of Thronesoften express a statement of either fact or opinion and less of a declaration. The actualperceived perlocutionary acts are dependent on the interpretation of the interlocutors inthe utterances of the characters. These findings revealed that the discourse elements of theGame of Thrones resemble daily communicative acts of actual interactions.

This paper analyzed students’ perception of collaborative skills. Students were askedwhich areas on collaborative skills they needed improvement on and the challenges theyhad experienced in working with others. One hundred forty-seven first year studentsfrom the pre-service teachers’ program with majors in mathematics and physical scienceswere selected as the participants of the study using the purposive sampling method. Aquestionnaire was used for data collection. This study applied the descriptive researchdesign.Results of the study indicated that students developed some aspects of collaborationbut there was an area needing enhancement. The collaboration skills developed amongstudents were being sensitive in taking opinions from others, working in a positiveenvironment, giving positive to one another in order to improve as a group, acknowledgingthe works of others with compliments’, and understanding other’s point of view. The areaneeding improvement were on communication and interaction skills in order to motivateother members to share their thoughts and ideas.

Abstract Diffusion models are highly studied in physics, but are seldom explored in social sciences. However, many social phenomena can be succinctly described in terms of sociological phenomenon such as imitation, cohesion, and group function which are all characteristics of a diffusion model. In this paper, a diffusion model of the Fick’s type is proposed to describe the underlying behaviour of hunger spread in different countries. Based from the global hunger indices of sixty-nine countries from 2008, 2013, and 2018, the indices were decreasing from 2008 to 2013. However, towards 2018 the hunger indices rose. With the Fick’s type diffusion model of hunger, its spread in different countries seem to be irregular, however as time pass by the hunger indices will be distributed in a normal curve. With these results, hunger continually persists, even with interventions at place. The behaviour of hunger depends on the country’s living condition and environment. War, drought and even diet may cause hunger. Sustaining the decrease of hunger indices of a country is a growing concern that every country faces nowadays. Keywords: Global Hunger, Complex Adaptive System, Diffusion Model

Learning leaders make things happen in the school setting. Their leadership skills influence the overall operations of the school. There are ups and downs in school management and leadership. This is one of the main reasons why learning leaders need to participate in development programs to continually perform their duties and responsibilities. The study aimed to evaluate the development program for learning leaders. Analyzing the qualitative responses of the learning leaders, core categories of the significant learning gained from the development program were generated. A model to describe the attributes of learning leaders was proposed based on the findings of the study. Using a descriptive method of research, an evaluation of the leadership and management program for learning leaders was conducted using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire. Follow-up open questions were asked to substantiate the quantitative data. The learning leaders reported that the objectives of the development program were highly realized while the session contents, and session methodologies were highly relevant. Six core categories emerged from the analysis of the themes, namely, goal setting, leadership skills, school as a community, continuous improvement, linkages, and empowerment. The results implied that for the learning leaders, these core categories described their attributes as learning leaders. Based on the results of the study, a model of the attributes of learning leaders was proposed. It is recommended that future development programs be designed to address the areas that need further enhancement and another study be conducted to identify other attributes of learning leaders.

This research sought to determine the commonalities between countries with high levels of of happiness but low global state of peace. The values used were from published indices, namely, State of Global Happiness and Global Peace Index. These were analysed using nominal logistic regression in order to find the relationship between these variables. The general trend is that happy countries are peaceful countries. However, several countries did not fit this finding, namely: Israel, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, Bahrain, Russia, Libya, Philippines, Turkey and Pakistan. Indicators used in the State of Global Happiness and Global Peace Index were further analysed. Findings suggest that individuals in these countries have strong social support that enables them to consider themselves happy despite the low state of peace in their respective countries, the factors of which vary from region to region and country to country.

Concern about teaching problem solving and mathematical thinking has paved way for the development of a writing-to-learn approach in math. This study explored on college students’ experiences in solving worded math problems, and the use of journal writing as a strategy in solving problems. The students’ experiences as seen in their journal served as the baseline data in the study. In making the journals, the students focused on key words, relationships, processes and lessons learned through writing statements, procedures and self-assessment. Findings of this study showed that students’ dispositions towards solving worded problems were altered with the use of writing and portfolio as their output. Based on the portfolios, the manner the students solve worded problems was anchored on three main processes, namely: identifying known and unknown variables, performing operations and algebraic methods, and writing reflections. In this study, students were required to do a lot of writing in their problem - solving activities. The use of journal writing in solving worded math problems is highly recommended because it is essential for independent learning, improving communication skills, approach for self–assessment, and it is an interactive activity that serves as a tool for teachers to assess students’ learning.
