Shaping Power Trio of Parents' Private School Choice: Image, Attractiveness, and Experience
Section: Articles Categories: Business, Management, Education and Social Work Keywords: Emotion-based choice, Parental school choice, School image, School attractiveness, Past study experience Only a few studies have concurrently investigated school image, attractiveness, and parents' past experiences at private high school within a single, emotion-based framework. This study examines the direct, indirect, and moderating relationships among these variables in shaping private high school choice in Indonesia. Employing the Hayes PROCESS Macro on data from 270 parents, analysis revealed that school image is a powerful predictor of parental school choice, operating both directly and indirectly via school attractiveness. Prior private high school experience significantly leveraged the parents' ratings of image, attractiveness, and school choice, and magnified the impact of both image and attractiveness on the final school choice. This study provides two primary contributions: First, it significantly advances the literature on emotion-based school choice by demonstrating the strong interplay between image and attractiveness. Second, it establishes prior experience as a critical moderator, indicating that the emotional drivers of choice are fundamentally different for experienced parents, offering a new insight for school management and marketing strategies that seek to leverage parental background.

Section: Articles Categories: Management, Education and Social Work, Social Sciences Keywords: video-based instruction, Least Learned Competencies, Mathematics Performance Mathematics is a foundational subject, yet many elementary pupils struggle with abstract concepts such as multiplication and division. In the Philippines, gaps in mathematical proficiency remain evident in national and international assessments, further aggravated by limited instructional support and inadequate learning resources. Video-based instructional materials offer a promising approach by integrating visual, auditory, and contextual elements to make mathematics more interactive and accessible. This study employed a one-group pretest–posttest design with 38 Grade 3 pupils from Tinigaw Elementary School during S.Y. 2023–2024. A validated researcher-made test (KR-20 = 0.822) identified least mastered competencies and measured learning gains, while semi-structured interviews explored pupils’ challenges. Experts evaluated the acceptability of the developed materials using the DepEd LRMDS tool. Pretest results showed low mastery in the properties of multiplication (42%) and multi-digit division problems (62%). Qualitative findings revealed that pupils struggled with weak foundational knowledge, limited guidance, and poor-quality modules. Difficulties in multiplication and division, especially in problem-solving, and mismatched examples contributed to frustration and incomplete activities. After 12 weeks of video-based lessons, pupils’ mean performance improved significantly from 5.16 (SD = 2.03) to 8.61 (SD = 1.17), with a paired-sample t-test confirming statistical significance (t = -10.795, p < .05). Expert evaluation rated the materials “Acceptable” (M = 1.99). These results suggest that video-based instructional materials effectively enhance mathematical performance, increase engagement, and address learning gaps, supporting their integration in basic education to improve achievement in Mathematics.

Farm Tourism in the Philippines Amid the Covid-19 Pandemic: Assessment Using the TOWS Analysis Approach
Section: Articles Keywords: Farm Tourism, TOWS Analysis, Sustainability This study examines the profiles of Department of Tourism (DOT) – accredited farm tourism owners and their enterprises in Cavite, providing one of the first empirical assessments of the financial and operational impacts of the COVID–19 pandemic on this niche tourism sector. Using interviews with six farm owners and managers, the study analyzed demographic characteristics – sex, age, civil status, educational attainment, and primary occupation – as well as enterprise attributes such as business type, years of operations, farm size, services offered, employee demographics, guest volume, and farm revenue. Descriptive statistics (frequency, mean, and percentage) were used in the analysis. Findings show a balanced gender distribution among owners, most of whom are married, have completed college, and engaged primarily in farming, with an average age of 55. More than half of the enterprises operate as corporations, have been in business for 10 years, and maintain an average farm size of 8 hectares. While pandemic restrictions limited operations to 30 percent capacity, the data reveal an overall increase in average revenue, suggesting adaptive income-generation strategies and resilience within the sector. The positive change can be attributed to a stronger strategic focus on educational tourism services and emerging digital marketing efforts in spite of the industry restrictions.

The Power of Teaching Attitudes: Influencing Student Performance at Indanan National High School (Annex)
Section: Articles Categories: Social Sciences Keywords: teaching attitudes, academic performance, descriptive research, teacher behavior, student perception, Indanan National High School (Annex) The research, “The Power of Teaching Attitudes of Teachers and Students ‘Performance at Indanan National High School (Annex)” results showed that teachers in English, Mathematics, Science have very high teaching attitudes which were described as excellent along eight dimensions – clarity, enthusiasm, interaction, organization pace disclosure speech and rapport. Nevertheless, despite these favorable attitudes, academic performance in students was reported as being at a “Satisfactory” level and statistical analyses (t-test and ANOVA) found no significant correlation between teachers’ attitudes to teaching and student grades nor across subjects. The results imply that the impact of positive teaching attitude on a conducive learning climate may be overridden by other factors like instruction, students motivation to learn and home background in relation to their influence on academic achievement. In particular, it sought to investigate the teachers’ attitudes towards students as perceived by students themselves, to assess academic performance of the latter and to test the attitudes that teachers have towards their students whether they have a significant effect on students’ learning outcome. That is, it tried to measure the teachers’ attitudes towards students as perceived by their students, evaluate the learning performance of their students and test if the teachers’ attitudes toward students have an effect on the learning performance of these students.

Investigating Teachers' Perceptions, Challenges, and Support Systems in Handling a Visually Impaired Student in a Teacher Education Institution
Section: Articles Categories: Social Sciences Keywords: Teachers’ perceptions, Challenges, Support systems, Visual impairment, Inclusive education, Teacher Education Institution Inclusive Education (IE) is a recognized right mandated by international and Philippine policies, requiring schools to accommodate learners with disabilities, including those with visual impairment (VI). Teachers play a vital role in implementing IE, yet their readiness, perceptions, and access to support systems shape the effectiveness of inclusive practices. This study aimed to investigate teachers’ perceptions, challenges, and support systems in handling a student with VI in a Teacher Education Institution (TEI) in northern Philippines. A qualitative-descriptive case study design was employed, involving 12 purposively selected teachers who had taught the student with VI in at least one semester. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions and analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s (2012) framework. Ethical protocols such as informed consent and confidentiality were strictly observed. Findings revealed that teachers strongly valued inclusive education and emphasized empathy, patience, adaptability, and learner-centered approaches in teaching students with VI. They adopted flexible strategies such as tactile resources, auditory cues, and differentiated instruction. However, challenges included limited training in Braille and inclusive pedagogy, lack of accessible resources, barriers in assessment, and difficulties in creating safe and inclusive classroom environments. Despite these, teachers received support through collegial collaboration, peer assistance, expert guidance from SPED teachers and ECSNED department staff, family involvement, access to assistive technologies, and institutional measures such as inclusive classroom setups and alternative assessments. In conclusion, teachers demonstrated commitment and creativity in promoting inclusion but faced systemic gaps in preparation and resources. t.

Integration of Smart Monitoring Systems in Marine Engineering: A Management Approach to Edge Computing and Sensor Technologies
Section: Articles Categories: Management Keywords: Maritime Operations, Smart Monitoring Systems, Management Approach, Marine Engineering, Sensor Technologies, Technology Integration This study aimed to investigate how these smart monitoring technologies can be effectively implemented in marine engineering practice through a structured, management-oriented approach. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational approach with the participation of selected 106 marine engineering personnels within the Philippines. The study was focused on human resource and competency development, process optimization, system integration management, and project implementation supervision among maritime companies in the Philippines. The study used various statistical methods to analyze the profile of the respondents and evaluate the identified problems and best practices such as frequencies, percentages, and weighted means. The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) was employed to test the relationship existing between the level of difficulty and change in the best practices in the four major areas. The results indicated that the project implementation monitoring was the most difficult with the mean of 3.13, whereas system integration management was the least with the mean of 2.42. The management’s best practices regarding system integration received the highest score of 3.50, which is significant for the technology’s integration effectiveness. Although the issues of human resource and competency development showed weak and insignificant correlations with the related best practices, several other areas, especially system integration management, process optimization, and project implementation oversight, showed stronger correlations This means that when difficulties arise in these areas, the organization will be more willing to adopt flexible, effective best practices to maintain operational performance and promote the successful adoption of technology in maritime engineering operations.

Psychological Perspectives of Single Mothers in Higher Education Institutions: Implications for Women’s Self-Empowerment
Section: Articles Categories: Education and Social Work, Humanities, Social Sciences Keywords: Psychological Perspectives, Single Mothers, women empowerment This study examined the psychological perspectives of single mothers employed in higher education institutions and their implications for women’s self-empowerment. Guided by Carol Ryff’s Theory of Psychological Well-Being, the research focused on five dimensions—self-acceptance, relationships with others, autonomy, purpose in life, and personal growth. Using descriptive research design, data were gathered from purposively selected 49 single mothers in Cabanatuan City through a validated 25-item questionnaire distributed via Google Forms. Findings revealed that respondents strongly agreed on self-acceptance, autonomy, purpose in life, and personal growth, while they agreed on their relationships with others. The results highlight that single mothers exhibit resilience, autonomy, and a strong sense of purpose, though they remain guarded in forming deeper interpersonal relationships. These findings imply the need for holistic empowerment initiatives that reinforce strengths in self-acceptance, independence, and growth while addressing vulnerabilities in relational support. The study concludes that empowering single mothers requires both personal development opportunities and institutional policies that recognize their dual roles as educators and sole caregivers, thereby fostering their well-being and capacity to thrive.

Challenges in Purposive Communication and Macro Skills of Students
Section: Articles Categories: Education and Social Work Keywords: purposive communication, challenges, macro skills, proficiency level, technical college This study examined the communication challenges and macro skill proficiency of third-year Purposive Communication students at the Bicol State College of Applied Sciences and Technology (BISCAST) during the first semester of SY 2024–2025. Using a descriptive-comparative-correlational design, data were collected from 152 students across four programs through using IELTS mock tests and researcher-made questionnaires. Findings revealed that students struggled most with understanding main ideas and inferencing, followed by critical thinking, lexical resource and vocabulary, reading strategies, and grammatical range accuracy. All macro skills were all at developing levels except viewing, which found to be in Good level; revealing listening to be the weakest and viewing as the strongest. There were significant performance differences found across paired macro skills with listening varying significantly among other macro skills and across paired programs with Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering [BSCE] students performing the strongest and Bachelor of Engineering Technology Major in Mechanical Automotive Engineering Technology [BET-MAET] performing the weakest. The study found a significant correlation of about 47.9% variance showing that students who faced greater communicative challenges are also likely to have lower macro skill proficiency. Strategies employed in reading, critical thinking, and grammatical skills proved to have moderate effects on majority of the macro skills but proved to have very weak influence on reading, interestingly as it is also the least influenced skill.

Audio-Visual Resources in the Social Studies Department of President Ramon Magsaysay State University
Section: Articles Categories: Social Sciences Keywords: Audio-visual resources, Social Studies, Competency, Teaching effectiveness This quantitative descriptive study sought to establish the perceived competency and benefits of audio-visual resources (AVRs) among 60 President Ramon Magsaysay State University Social Studies teachers in Academic Year 2023-2024. The demographic profiles of the teachers, their use of AVRs, and the perceived effects on teaching efficiency, creativity, improvisation, and expressiveness were investigated. Data analysis indicated that the respondents were predominantly female, in middle adulthood, having a Master's degree, at the instructor rank, and with relatively new tenure. The findings indicated that the Social Studies instructors strongly agree that AVRs significantly enhance their teaching ability, creativity, improvisation, and expressiveness. Moreover, they demonstrated great confidence in their ability to select, prepare, and utilize AVRs correctly. Perceived benefits of AVRs were significantly influenced by academic rank and length of service but not by sex, age, or educational attainment. Conversely, perceived competence in AVR use was significantly influenced by sex, educational attainment, and academic rank but not by age or length of service. Recommendations to university administrators are to evaluate infrastructure for AVR capability, and to Social Studies teachers, perform AVR comparative studies and investigate the effect of self-assessed competence on student achievement. Future studies could examine the effects of demographic factors on AVR usage and perceived advantage and seek to find targeted areas of support to improve teaching efficiency.

Section: Articles Categories: Social Sciences Keywords: Multigrade instruction, Rural education, Challenges, Coping strategies, Professional development, Suyo District This study examined the challenges and coping strategies of multigrade teachers in the Suyo District. The goal was to suggest policy actions that could improve teaching and learning in rural schools. The research used a sequential exploratory mixed-methods design. It started with qualitative interviews to identify common themes and then conducted a quantitative survey to confirm and expand upon the findings. Results showed eight major challenges: (1) time management, (2) curriculum demands, (3) instructional difficulties, (4) lack of instructional materials, (5) classroom management issues, (6) learner diversity, (7) limited parental support, and (8) insufficient professional development. The quantitative analysis confirmed that the three most pressing concerns were learner diversity, curriculum complexity, and insufficient professional development, as these showed the highest levels of seriousness among respondents. Teachers tackled these issues using coping strategies in eight areas: time management, instructional flexibility, differentiated instruction, resourcefulness, classroom management skills, adaptive teaching, peer school support, and participation in professional development. The study concluded that multigrade instruction is a viable way to ensure equal education when teachers receive enough support from institutions and the community. It recommends creating a multigrade-specific curriculum framework, strengthening peer mentoring and Learning Action Cells (LACs), improving professional learning programs, enhancing access to teaching resources, and increasing community and parental involvement.

Food Prices Volatility and Farmer’s Terms of Trades: Basis of Policy and Program Formulation for Farmers
Section: Articles Categories: Economics Keywords: food price volatility, Farmer's Terms of Trade , agricultural welfare , Philippines, farmgate The economic support of many farmers in the Philippines is shaky, mainly due to the unstable prices of the agricultural products and livestock they deal in, along with the constant increase in the prices of basic necessities. The research investigated the link between food price volatility and Farmer’s Terms of Trade (FTT), which is a metric for measuring farmers’ purchasing power, for the period from 2018 to 2024. Six leading commodities, namely rice, copra, lakatan banana, pork, broiler chicken, and cattle, were studied. The volatility of food prices was assessed using Coefficient of Variation (CV), while FTT was computed through the use of Producer and Consumer Price Index data. The analysis unveiled that rice was the least fluctuating item and thus, it provided farmers with a more stable income source. Bananas came next with less variability. On the other hand, copra prices were the least stable, as reflected by the extremely high CV, indicating a very risky market. Among the animals, pork, being the most volatile, faced high prices and disease outbreaks. The FTT numbers showed severe poverty issues from 2018-2020, meaning farmers’ incomes had fallen behind their needs, hence they could not afford to live. The situation slightly improved from 2021 when a partial recovery was seen, but the values remained close enough to indicate a very weak improvement in buying power. The results imply that the combination of high price volatility and weak FTT means farmers ascend through the low-income tunnel, and their welfare gets worse.
