<p style="text-align: justify;">This study aimed to explore the perceived factors that influenced the success and challenges experienced when taking licensure examination among Bachelor of Science in Criminology graduates of a state university in the Philippines who failed in the Criminologist Licensure Examinations (CLE). Descriptive-correlational research design was utilized to analyze quantitative data, and Colaizzi’s descriptive phenomenology was used for the thematic analysis of qualitative data. The quantitative findings revealed that home and family factor has a high influence on the success in CLE, while student factor, school factor, review center factor, and personal factor have average influence. Further, ten clusters of themes emerged as factors that influence the success in CLE. Among them were interest and focus on the program, and availability of qualified and dedicated faculty. Among the themes that emerged as challenges were lack of preparedness for the exam because of one’s work, and personal and social pressures. There is a significant difference on the respondents’ perception towards the factors that influence the success in CLE when they are grouped according to sex. Regarding the challenges associated with preparing for and taking the CLE, a significant difference is only observed when respondents are grouped according to their civil status. Generally, married respondents have higher weighted means than the single ones. This implies that the identified challenges affected married respondents more than the single ones. These results can be used to make policies and initiate programs that would enhance graduates’ success in the exam by providing appropriate interventions and early remediations.</p>

The study embarked on graphic materials as a catalyst in reading comprehension. Unknown to many, graphic materials are effective media in teaching the language. The study was conducted in 2010 to Bachelor of Science in Applied Statistics students at Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet, Philippines. A 50-item test which consisted of comprehension of tables, graphs/charts, instructions, diagrams, pictorial illustrations, maps and notices/common signs was administered to determine their comprehension level with 10 items each. The test on graphic materials was taken from various local and national reading materials. Results showed that the most difficult task to comprehend by the respondents was the tables while instructions were the easiest. A significant difference was noted in the performance of the students as influenced by their year level. Based on the result of the study, it is recommended that any authentic material should be used in teaching the language. Language teachers should also utilize any graphic materials, multiple media, art, multidisciplinary thematic units, and even games in designing classroom tasks to promote reading comprehension skills. They should likewise provide interesting language lessons using newspapers, magazines or any graphic materials as input in developing comprehension skills.Keywords: Graphic Materials, Reading Comprehension, Authentic Materials, Reading Materials, Reading Comprehension Skill, Philippines

Paradigm shifts in the field of education have been an issue in the Philippines since the COVID-19 pandemic struck. To fill this gap, this study sought to highlight the pedagogical practices and teaching experiences of award-winning educators in a State University. The qualitative data extracted from semi-structured interviews were analyzed following a thematic analysis based on descriptive phenomenology. One finding revealed that the educators’ years in service and educational attainments were helpful in their migration from face-to-face to distance education, even though the number of course preparations was a weight on their shoulders. Secondly, the educators conducted their classes through preparation and implementation via fifteen instructional methods, formative and summative assessments, and feedback. On another note, the educators determined six roadblocks in their teaching practice with explanations on how they overcame them. Amidst all these, they mentioned that it is imperative to uphold empathy in the conduct of their classes.

Sleeping Habits

Background and Significance. Sleep is a vital facet of human existence that is vital to learning and memory; lack of sleep is associated with significant impairment in learning. Medical students are a special population because of the demands of medical school. They are very prone to sleep deprivation and poor quality of sleep, hence academic performance might be affected.Objectives. We determined the different sleeping habits of medical students using a descriptive tool, with variables chosen specifically for this study. The level of sleepiness was then correlated with the academic performance (using the general weighted average) among students in a state university run-medical school in the Philippines. Methods. The study is a prospective cross-sectional survey among medical students in a state university-run medical school enrolled for the academic year 2016-2017. The questionnaires used were the Epworth Sleepiness Score and specific questions about sleeping habits. The General Weighted Average (GWA) of those who participated were obtained from the student records section of the college. Descriptive statistics were used to describe the results on different sleeping habits, while the chi-squared test was used to determine any significant differences in the GWA versus level of sleepiness across all year levels. Results. A total of 426 medical students (or 60% of the total student population of the college) participated. However, of the 426, only 326 had complete GWAs and were therefore included in the final analysis for correlation. The average medical student is “sleep-deprived”, sleeping two hours less (six hours) than the recommended daily minimum duration of sleep (eight to 10 hours). For the correlation of sleepiness and academic performance, we found out that there is no significant difference in academic performance among those who are excessively sleepy (ESS greater than 10) versus those who are not, p-value = 0.892. Conclusion. Increased level of sleepiness does not correlate with poorer academic performance among these medical students, despite them sleeping less than the general recommendation for adults. The study is limited however by the use of the GWA as the sole tool to measure academic performance, which is affected by many other factors. We recommend the performance of this study in a broader population and use more validated tools to measure sleepiness and academic performance.

This descriptive comparative research determined the vulnerability and risk index including the adaptive capacity of the university exposed elements: population, natural resources, and facilities. A researcher-made survey questionnaire was used to determine the adaptive capacity of these elements and was administered to 598 respondents composed of students, faculty, and non-teaching personnel from the three campuses. An assessment survey was also conducted over three groups of purposively selected students, personnel, and external stakeholders for vulnerability and risk. Using descriptive and inferential analysis, the study yielded a high adaptive capacity for all exposed elements and a significant difference when the respondents were grouped into campuses. Likewise, all campuses have a very low vulnerability and low risk to landslide but have a different risk to flooding: B has a high risk, A is moderate, while C has no risk. Findings suggest that each campus has to be treated differently to address priority areas.

The enforcement of the Senior High School (SHS) in the Philippines has caused fear among college programs of higher education institutions such as Western Mindanao State University (WMSU) that they might have a low turnout of enrollees. This research sought to identify factors impacting the college degree choice of Grade 12 STEM students of WMSU concerning the number of enrollees to its college degree programs. Results served as inputs on what measures can be taken by programs with a low number of enrollees. The study employed a descriptive-quantitative research design. Data were collected using a validated survey questionnaire on 160 students. The results revealed that interest factors were considered very influential among the five leading factors. Opportunity and personality factors have influenced students' college degree preference. In contrast, family factors somehow influenced them, while Peer factors have less influence on determining their college degree. The study further revealed that programs that integrate actual work experiences, have abundant career opportunities, and individual personality ideal to their chosen career significantly impacts students, thereby boosting their interest in pursuing that program. Students are also aware that family support is one crucial factor that affects their decision. However, no significant difference in the influence of  family, interest, opportunity, and peer factors among graduating SHS STEM students, except for personality factors. Thus, a comprehensive information dissemination campaign regarding the program – its value, influence, and even employability, must be done by the college units is recommended.

In the Philippines, one gauge of educational quality is performance of graduates in the licensure examinations of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). This study aimed to analyze the performance of the University of Northern Philippines in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), 2001 to 2010. It determined the following: profile of the examinees such as sex, specialization and year of graduated; performance along the components of LET; the institutional passing rates; the relationship between LET performance and examinee profile. Using the PRC-LET results, this study employed documentary analysis and correlation research designs. The mean, skewness, kurtosis and correlation analysis were used as statistical treatments. The findings showed negatively skewed distributions of LET scores in general education, professional education and specialization courses. This indicated that, relative to the mean score, there were more examinees who garnered higher scores compared with those who obtained lower scores. The examinees had extreme scores hence, they exhibited platykuric distributions. The institutional passing rates were consistently higher than the national passing rates for LET elementary. Specialization is significantly correlated with LET performance. By focusing on the PRC-LET competencies and DepEd-CHED-NCBTS requirements during the pre-service teaching and learning processes and revising specialization courses, LET performance will be improved. This study serves as exchange information along licensure examination of teachers in response to challenges for global competitiveness.Keywords: Teacher Education, Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), Philippines

Admission Test

A vast body of studies has a propensity towards considering system admission test (SAT) scores as one collective variable that influences the licensure examination performance. The current article revisits this research area and further takes a step forward in analysing the influence of SAT score grouped into two categories as passed and conditional. This study is a comparative analysis of the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) performance according to SAT groups of a cohort of 86 elementary education graduates from the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) Department at the College of Education (CoEd), Mindanao State University, General Santos City (MSU GSC), Philippines. The Mann-Whitney U Test was mainly used as a statistical tool. The results showed that the majority of the students with passed SAT scores obtained a good level of LET performance and those with conditional SAT scores attained a fair level of LET performance. It was further revealed that there is a statistically significant difference in the LET performance of the students with passed and conditional SAT scores. Based on these pieces of evidence, this current research presents three essential instructional accommodations that may be considered to improve the future LET trajectory of the students. The recommendation for future research is also offered.
