This study aimed to determine the relationship between organizational culture, and customs toward school Effectiveness as practiced in public Elementary Schools. Specifically, it sought to answer the following areas: perception of organizational culture in terms of leadership, teamwork, and adaptability, perception of school custom practices that support school improvement, and perception of teachers on school effectiveness. Furthermore, the study investigated how the respondents assess if there is a significant relationship between Organizational Culture and School Effectiveness. This study used a descriptive research design following a correlation procedure to examine the relationship between organizational culture and customs toward school success as practiced in public elementary schools. In addition, random sampling was used to determine the respondents. Findings revealed that a significant correlation was assessed between organizational culture and school effectiveness. More so, the organizational culture and customs were correlated to the school’s effectiveness. Accordingly, sustained and further promotion of organizational culture and application of its practices is highly recommended to promote better school performance. Keywords: organizational culture, customs, school effectiveness, adaptability, leadership

The abrupt COVID-19 pandemic breakout shocked the world and forced educational systems to switch instantly to an online teaching-learning format (Dhawan, 2020). Many schools organized training webinars to capacitate their teachers for the online teaching-learning modality. With that, the authors planned, organized and conducted a series of training webinars titled “Making Math Fun and Engaging via the use of Modern Technology: Capacity Building for Math Teachers,” in April 2022, via Zoom platform, for the Math teachers to get updated with the knowledge and skills in using some online apps and make teaching Math online, more exciting and fun. The training was conceptualized following the ADDIE Model: Phase 1- Assessment of Teachers’ Real Training Needs. A survey was conducted on the teachers’ level of knowledge of apps to enhance Math teaching known as technology applications; Phase 2- Designing the Competency Framework for the training program; Phase 3- Developing the training plan; Phase 4- Implementing the teachers’ training; and Phase 5- Evaluating the gains in teachers’ knowledge and skills on the integration of technological apps in teaching Math. So, this study ascertained the impact of the said online training. It utilized a mixed quantitative and qualitative research methodology to assess the effect of using modern technology and used a researchers’ made research instrument. Findings revealed that the training is engaging and informative, which helped the teachers absorb the topics easily and develop a positive attitude toward using the digital application in teaching. Hence, the study recommends that school heads support and motivate the teachers to use modern technology and adopt new educational trends, for better student learning, through continuous professional development and mentoring.

The study explored the evaluation and extent of implementation of K-12 Junior High School (JHS) English Curriculum as assessed by the Basic Education teachers along with the eight (8) domains such as reading comprehension, listening comprehension, viewing comprehension, vocabulary development, literature, writing and composition, oral language and fluency, and grammar awareness. More so, it also determined the significant relationships between the evaluation and implementation of the English curriculum in the entire grade levels, school locations, and school types. Descriptive- correlational design was utilized to evaluate the JHS English Curriculum and gauge the teachers’ implementation of the curriculum. Weighted mean and Spearman’s Rank Order Correlation were utilized to statistically treat the data. Findings revealed that the majority of teachers rated highest on the Literature domain while rated lowest on vocabulary development. The teachers in all grade levels experienced problems and challenges in the implementation K-12 JHS English Curriculum. Further, there is no significant relationship between the evaluation and implementation of K-12 JHS English Curriculum as assessed by teachers in the entire grade levels, across school types and school locations except Upland Partido. Accordingly, it was recommended that teachers must attend training, seminars, and graduate studies to fully understand and upgrade their competencies and skills to enhance the curriculum and its implementation to fit the needs and interests of the learners.

Folk narratives are a part of one’s cultural identity. With the changing times, these narratives are in danger of being forgotten and being lost in obscurity. The effort to retrieve and analyze folk narratives is one way of preserving these narratives. So, this paper analyzed the T’Boli Animal Tales using the Structural approach to literary criticism, particularly A.J. Greimas’ Actantial Model, as well as the Axes Model of Louis Hebert which is an adaptation of Greimas’ model. It also determined the actants found in T’boli animal tales, their formation of axes of desire, power, and transmission, and their similarities and differences in terms of the formation of axes. Results revealed that the majority of the animal tales used follow Greimas’ actantial model, as well as Hebert’s axis model. Although there are similarities in terms of their actants and axes, this study concludes that not all T’Boli Animal Tales’ follow Greimas’ and Hebert’s models. Still, these tales can be understood better using the Actantial Model and Narrative Structures proposed by A.J. Greimas, and the Axis Model proposed by Louis Hebert.

It is a reality that the abrupt changes in the educational delivery in higher education had been challenging to all stakeholders, particularly the students. This compelled not only academic but also social support to find alternative platforms to reach out to the students amid new limitations and opportunities. Hence, this study looked into the nature of higher education students’ peer support in the context of flexible learning delivery. A phenomenological design was employed and data were gathered through semi-structured individual interviews with five students. Studies found that peer support in the context of flexible learning 1) offers the same content in new platforms; 2) reinforces the cycle of support through new challenges; 3) requires sacrifice through sharing of time; and 4) builds character and competence. Online platforms provide new spaces for students to support peers, in recognition of shared struggles and adjustments in the flexible delivery mode. This is highly important for students especially as flexible learning makes new demands on the student’s time and responsibility for learning. These findings could inform the HEI’s development of student support policies to help perpetuate this culture of peer support for mutual success.

Emotional intelligence and transformational leadership are well-liked academic disciplines. This paper examined the impact of emotional intelligence (EI) on transformational leadership (TL) in selected academic institutions in Kathmandu, Nepal using a cross-sectional strategy. A total of 133 academic managers from different academic institutions served as respondents of the study through Cochran’s method. Convenient sampling with a five-point modified Likert scale to answer 20 validated emotional intelligence questions and 25 validated transformational leadership questionnaires. Statistical tools such as simple percent, mean, standard deviation, ANOVA, MANOVA, and linear regression were used to investigate and interpret the data. The regression data analysis revealed that emotional intelligence has an impact on the transformational leadership (r= 0.749). R Square= 0.561, Ad (R Square) = 0.557, P > 0.05. In this study, ANOVA and MANOVA tests were also used to find associations between demographic variables and emotional intelligence. Findings unveiled that there is a significant difference between different academic fields and emotional intelligence, while MANOVA Analysis revealed that there is a significant difference between gender and EI. Evidence suggests that both EI and TL are critical traits for boosting intellectual capacity, communication, and compassion. As a result, academic-related organizations should invest in building and improving EI and competence among academic managers, as well as performing additional studies in different parts of Nepal using a wide sample and qualitative technique to better comprehend in-depth data.

This study focused on the influence of instructional 3D Model Biological Systems (MBS) in understanding cell diversity. It determined the academic performance of the students according to content knowledge, quality of the artwork, and communication skills; and determined what group of learners benefited most from using 3D instructional models. It involved 30 second-year high school students in a private school in Imus, Cavite. Data were treated statistically with arithmetic mean, dependent t-test, gain scores, Pearson r Product Moment of Correlation, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), F-test, and Tukey multiple comparison test. Findings revealed that the use of 3D instructional cell models was effective in improving the academic performance of the students in terms of content knowledge, quality of the artwork, and communication skills. The computed mean difference of 3.60 and t-value of 10.998 for 29 degrees of freedom, which is 2.756 at a .01 level of confidence, showed a significant difference from their pre-test and post-test scores. This implies that participants obtained much learning on cellular diversity using 3D cell models. All groups of learners benefited most from using 3D instructional cell models thus students’ academic performance in Biology has improved. Thus, the study recommends that 3D instructional models should be used in teaching professional Science subjects such as Biology. More so, similar studies should also be conducted not only in Biology subject but also in Chemistry and Physics courses. Other 3D Model Biological Systems can be used for instruction to Senior High School Science majors and college students.
