The study aimed to determine the grammatical competence of Grade 10 students using a self-paced grammar learning guide. The one-group pretest-posttest research design was utilized to determine the performance of the respondents. Also, this study used an intact sampling technique which is a type of non-probability sampling used to produce results that can be generalized only by making very strong assumptions about the sample(s). An intact group is an already-formed group. In this study, the respondents included thirty (30) Grade 10 learners enrolled in Alaminos Integrated National High School, Alaminos Laguna for the school year 2020-2021 who underwent self-paced study using the designed grammar learning guide for eight (8) consecutive school days. The study pointed out the following hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the pretest and post-test scores of students in using the self-paced grammar learning guide. Thus, the study yielded the findings that there is a significant difference in the pretest and posttest scores, and mean gain scores of the students using a self-paced grammar learning guide. Since the study revealed that there is a significant difference in the pretest and posttest of respondents in using the self-paced grammar learning guide, the school administration may encourage teachers to develop a learning guide that will be suited to the needs of the students and use this other than textbooks to develop and improve students’ academic competence.

Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives of an educational institution are its main framework for planning and guide in the execution of its program among its clientele. It necessitates that stakeholders of an institution are aware of and accept their VMGO. This study utilized a descriptive method of research and administered a survey questionnaire on the awareness and acceptability of the Vision and Mission of the college and the Goals and Objectives of the Bachelor of Industrial Technology and Graduate School programs (Doctor of Education in Educational Management, Master of Education, Master of Arts in Teaching and the Master of Technician Education using voluntary response sampling. The data revealed that the collective level of awareness and acceptance of the VM of the college and the GOs of the BIT program from its alumni and students, industry partners, faculty members, non-teaching staff, and administrators are to a High Extent as evidenced by their Grand Mean of 4.16 and 4.23 respectively. On the other hand, the collective level of awareness and acceptability of VM of the college and GOs of Graduate School programs from Ed. D. students, GS Faculty, M. Ed. Students, MAT Alumni, MAT students, Non-teaching staff, Administrators, and MTE students are at Very High Extent as evident by their Grand Mean of 4.60 and 4.67 respectively. These data implied how much they are aware of and how much they accepted the Vision and Mission of the college and the Goals and Objectives of the concerned programs among its stakeholders. It is suggested that the conduct of a qualitative study relative to VMGO must be done for future reference. Keywords: VMGO, Industrial Technology, Graduate School, Awareness, Acceptability

This research study sought to document the different learning experiences of the Grade 11 students of Santa Fe National High School while they (control and treatment groups) were exposed to the conventional manner of instruction (modules and video lessons) and gamified instruction, in the form of the ChemiCooking e-game, for the school year 2021-2022. Data were gathered using a researcher-made instrument: a pre-test, a post-test, and a checklist of student’s learning experiences. The quantitative data were subjected to various statistical analyses, specifically the mean, standard deviation, and t-tests of the pre and post-tests scores. Moreover, the qualitative data were transcribed, analyzed, and thematized. The findings and results of the study indicated that the control and treatment groups’ pretest scores were not significantly different from those of the control and treatment groups. Furthermore, results showed that the post-test scores significantly differ, as reflected in their mean scores of 10.15 (sd=3.88) and 14.7 (sd=4.84). The difference in mean and standard deviation between the control and treatment group’s gain scores speak of the effectiveness of the ChemiCooking mobile e-game as an instructional material. Moreover, there is a significant difference in the knowledge gained by the control group (unexposed to the ChemiCoooking e-game) and treatment group (exposed to the ChemiCooking e-game) based on their respective post-test scores and gain scores, with the treatment group performing better. This leads to the conclusion that gamified intervention (ChemiCooking) is way more effective than the conventional delivery of instruction. The learners exposed to the ChemiCooking e-game have different and meaningful learning experiences. Keywords: gamification, knowledge gain, intervention material, ChemiCooking, e-game

Despite its phenomenal success, Iran and Khorasan industries face numerous challenges, including low employee commitment and productivity, sub-par social compliance, and low worker commitment, compared to competitors such as China, India, and Turkey. The primary goal of this study was the relationship between organizational culture and organizational commitment, as well as two leadership styles (despotic and transactional) identified as moderating roles. The study was conducted using a quantitative explanatory research design. 138 samples were collected from the target population using a questionnaire survey and systematic probability sampling. The study’s findings were used to develop an organizational culture relationship model and the role of leadership. These results will aid Mashhad-based private companies, factory owners, managers, and others in developing policies and practices to increase productivity and employee commitment.

Climate change is a major, global threat that needs to be addressed with heavy attention. The government is the backbone of decision-making and policy-crafting so strong political intervention in this context will be a leap toward sustainable development. Community engagement also weighs the same as that of the political aspect in mainstreaming climate change. The effects of climate change- increase in intensity and frequency of tropical cyclones, drive vulnerability and exposure of many people to climate-related hazards (Lasco, 2012). With these, this paper is aimed to explore the climate change adaptation and mitigation (CCAM) practices of residents in coastal barangays in Tacloban City- ways on how they adapt to and mitigate climate change. Using purposive random sampling and descriptive statistics, results showed that there were respondents who did not know the effects of climate change. While it could not suffice to conclude their level of knowledge of climate change, it could be an indicator of a poor understanding of climate change. A more all-inclusive information and education campaign using local language and their most accessible media. Solutions to water scarcity, transport, and livelihood challenges should also be made to address the large number of respondents who were moving back to their original places from the relocation site. On another note, a high level of practice of climate change adaptation and mitigation was noted among them; most of them were aware of the existence of environmental protection ordinances while others had participated in and expressed the importance of the disaster drills.

Rwanda’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs) are suffering from poor financial performance. For instance, 60% of them are at a loss from 2016-to-date. For example, five companies, KTRWANDA NETWORKS, MARAPHONE RWANDA, and AFRICA OLLEH SERVICES LTD, which are 49%, 95%, and 49% respectively owned by the government of Rwanda, have accumulated US$5 million in losses each year for the last five years. Based on the above problem, the study intended to assess the link between budget control and the financial performance of SOEs in Rwanda. The study analyzed the seven objectives. The components of budget control understudy include budget planning, budget control, budget implementation, and budget review. The components of financial performance are Liquidity, Profitability, and Solvency. The research is descriptive research using both qualitative and quantitative approaches. It is also correlational research because it tested the relationship between budget control as an independent variable and financial performance as the dependent variable. The respondent of this study is 106 employees of seven selected SOEs. The researcher used the questionnaire to collect primary data and as an instrument of the study. And financial report for secondary data. Descriptive statistics like Frequency and Percentage and mean and inferential statistics Correlation and regression were used to analyze data. Findings showed that in general, the level of budget planning was high with a mean of 3.75. In the general, the level of budget implementation is high with a mean of 3.78. In general, the level of budget review is high with a mean of 3.67. In general, the level of liquidity in the companies was high with a mean of 3.66. In general, the level of profitability was moderate in the last five years, with a mean of 2.96. In general, the level of solvency was high with a mean of 3.59. Generally, there is a low significant relationship between Budget Control and financial performance with a coefficient of correlation of 0.384 with a P-value of 0.000. The multiple regressions showed R Square is 0.217 showing that the budget control contributes 22% to financial performance. The challenges related to budgeting control include unpredictable market, cash flows constraint, overspending versus planned, Rigid Decision-Making, Lack of trained and skilled labor, No clear budget lines in place and absence of regular budget control, limited is available to cash, Unbudgeted activities, Not complying to the rules and regulations of the budget, Insufficient cash to meet the budgeted costs, Unplanned activities due to government priorities, fluctuation in prices for commodities and Cash inflation. The challenges related to financial performance include the Lack of modern technology, High expenses and not achieved expected revenues, lack of a core system that can control all finance modules, Accuracy and timely arrival of monthly management reports, Lack of Ownership of finance performance by all staff

There is an inadequate manual guide for capstone projects resulting in unsatisfactory outputs of capstone research projects. This proves to be a problem that needs to be addressed by crafting a manual guide that is aligned with the student’s needs. It was conducted at the Holy Cross of Davao College. The descriptive-evaluative design was used. A sample of 80 participants from the Grade twelve level and 20 participants from the science and research area were selected using a Purposive Sampling Technique. A College Capstone Procedures Manual and Enhanced Guide Manual were given to the participants, and an Acceptability Test was administered. The Enhanced Guide Manual was patterned from the College Capstone Guide Manual which was validated by Experts. The acquired data were examined using descriptive statistics like mean and standard deviation, and the Independent Sample T-test at 0.05 level of significance was used to evaluate the hypotheses. The Enhanced Guide Manual scored Strongly Acceptable in areas of Content, Clarity, Appeal to Target Users, Learning Activities, and Format, while its Originality was assessed as Acceptable. Also, there is a significant difference between the College Manual and the Enhanced Guide Manual. This instructional material can alleviate learners’ performances by utilizing providing worthy assets in their progress. Keywords: Descriptive-evaluative design, Purposive Sampling Technique, Acceptability Test, Independent Sample T-test

In examining the conceptualization and correlates of competitiveness of cities and municipalities in the Philippines, this study established that competitiveness is multidimensional, and its factor structure differs by the type of LGU. Furthermore, the study found that IRA dependency has a negative effect on “Economic Dynamism” and the combined “Government Efficiency and Infrastructure” on LGUs of all income classes, but the effect among 5th/6th class LGUs is most pronounced. In addition, “IRA dependency” has a negative effect on the “Resiliency” of the 5th/6th class LGUs’ but not on their richer counterparts. Household poverty, on the other hand, is generally negatively associated with competitiveness, although the magnitude of this relationship varied by LGU types. Through structural equation modeling, confirmatory factor analysis determined which of the several hypothetical factor structure models provided the best-fitting conceptualization of competitiveness. The final model was subjected to multiple group analysis to test its invariance across income groups. Finally, “IRA dependency” and “Household poverty” were integrated into the final model to examine their association with competitiveness. In improving competitiveness, the study recommends policymakers and local government executives target their policies, efforts, and resources on particular indicators based on the type of LGU, even as some indicators need to be addressed, established, or enhanced across LGU types. Keywords: correlates of competitiveness, structural equation modeling, group invariance, IRA dependency and competitiveness, household poverty and competitiveness
