This paper reports two studies that examine the difference between happiness and academic procrastination among undergraduate students. The first study investigates gender and geographic location differences in happiness and academic procrastination levels, finding that males and urban students report higher levels of both. The second study, conducted in Kashmir, explores undergraduate students’ subjective experiences and perspectives on happiness and academic procrastination. The second study’s objective was to gain an understanding of how undergraduate students in Kashmir subjectively experience happiness and academic procrastination. Employing a qualitative research design and using thematic analysis, the study revealed that happiness is a personal experience that can be achieved in various ways, including through social relationships, activities, and gratitude. The study offers insights into the perceptions of undergraduate students in Kashmir regarding happiness and academic procrastination, which can aid in the creation of strategies to enhance student well-being and academic performance. Overall, the two studies underscore the importance of considering individual differences in levels of happiness and academic procrastination, as well as subjective experiences, when formulating interventions to endorse student well-being and academic success. By comprehending how students define and pursue happiness and recognizing the factors that contribute to academic procrastination, educators and policymakers can develop effective strategies to promote student well-being and academic achievement.

The study examined how "Just-in-Time-Teaching" (JiTT) affected physics students' academic performance in Ondo State, Nigeria. Two hypotheses were examined while the study was driven by two research questions. The study used pretest - posttest control group research design. 100 pupils were adopted for this study. Two secondary schools from the local government region were chosen at random, with one serving as the experimental group and the other as the control group. The study's target population was SS I students taking Physics in the identified schools. JiTT was used employed to for the experimental group while the control group was given the same information in a normal classroom situation. The Just-in-Time Physics Achievement Test (JiTTPAT), which comprises 20 multiple-choice questions was developed by the researchers on the topic of measurement of physical quantities, was used to gather data with reliability index of 0.76. Mean, standard deviation, and ANCOVA were used to analyze the data with the aid of SPSS. The study came to several conclusion, including the following: JiTT improves student achievement grades in Physics, and gender had no significant effect on students' performance in physics. According to the results, it was suggested, among other things, that JiTT be implemented in secondary schools to enhance and improve students' achievement grades in Physics.

This research aims to examine the effect of Mind Games activities on problem-solving skills and computational thinking skills of 5th grade students. Sequential explanatory design, one of the mixed research methods, was used in the research. The research was carried out in a quasi-experimental design pretest-posttest without a control group with 17 5th grade students in a secondary school in Adıyaman. The research was carried out with an experimental period of 6 weeks. Before the experimental study, the problem-solving skills and computational thinking skills scales were applied to the students as a pre-test. Kapsul game activity was performed in the first week of the experimental study. ABC Baglama activity was held during the week. Sudoku activity was held in the 3rd week. In the 4th week, Three Stone game activities were held. Kendoku game activity was held in the 5th week. In the 6th week, Kakuro game activity was held. Statistical values in the study were calculated using the SPSS program. To collect quantitative data, a pre-test of problem-solving skills and computational thinking skills was applied to the students before the experimental process. After the experimental process, problem-solving skills and computational thinking skills scales were applied as a posttest. The applied pre-test and post-test results were analyzed with the paired sample t-test. Additionally, to collect qualitative data to strengthen the research, an interview form was applied to obtain the opinions of the students about the experimental process. In line with the findings obtained because of the experimental study, it can be said that the mind game activities have a positive effect on the students' computational thinking and problem-solving skills, and the lesson turns into more fun.

In compliance with RA 10931(the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act), the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) allows State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines to admit students regardless of their senior high school track and strand taken, through CMO 105, Series of 2017. This would cause future problems because the nature of these graduates' high school studies would be disregarded when evaluating applicants for a certain bachelor's degree. This study was conducted to determine if a specific Senior High School strand produces high-achieving students in science-related programs. Using a causal-comparative research design, it engaged sixty-one (61) undergraduate students enrolled in Two Philippine State Universities offer Science-related courses: Bachelor of Science in Biology, Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, and Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science. One-way ANOVA was done to find if there is a significant difference among the academic performance of the respondents grouped by their senior high school strands. Dunn’s Test for Multiple Comparisons was used as post-hoc analysis. The ANOVA test showed a significant difference between academic performance in science-related programs and senior high school strands p = 0.015, while no significance was found in sex and annual household income. Conducting post-hoc analysis using Dunn’s Test for Multiple Comparisons showed that STEM graduates have a statistically significant academic performance between ABM, GAS, HUMSS, Home Economics, and ICT graduates. The findings show significant implications in the admission of students in college, especially in science-related programs. Strands in senior high school must be considered and that short-bridging programs may be conducted for non-STEM graduates enrolled in science-related programs.
