Authors: Valle Noel Niño , Valle Lislee
Published: March 2024

Online learning and modular learning have been promoted more and more deeply as a response to the issues of learning continuity during school closure due to the global pandemic. This study aims to determine the status of utilizing online and modular learning in the new normal in teaching Technology and Livelihood Education-Information and Communication Technology (TLE-ICT). Participants were two sections of grade 8 students: 42 under the modular learning modality and 42 under the online learning. T-tests on independent samples were conducted to determine if there were significant differences in the participants’ academic performance between the modular or online learning modalities in TLE-ICT. Based on the findings, learners in modular learning have higher marks than those in online learning. However, various factors may contribute to the difference in the student’s performance in both modalities. It is recommended that parents and learners in modular learning be oriented to the importance of learning and gaining skills rather than grades.

Published: March 2024

Private schools are working tirelessly to provide a quality education without support from the government. This article aims to evaluate the internal and external job stress of high school teachers in private schools in Leyte, Philippines, and determine its governing factors. The study involved a complete enumeration process in selecting the participants and gathering primary data. In analyzing and extracting relevant information from the data, standard descriptive metrics, correlation analysis, and Chi-square test for independence were employed with the aid of statistical software. The findings of the study depicted that private teachers are both internally and externally moderately stressful in their jobs. The Chi-square test revealed that employment status and years in service are associated with the private teachers’ internal job stress and it is significant at a 10% level. In addition, it is depicted that gender, monthly salary, and years in service are significantly dependent on the teachers’ external job stress at a 10% level. Conclusively, the school heads and management of private schools must lessen the work assignments to avoid exhaustion and increase benefits to improve the well-being of teachers. Moreover, it is suggested that teachers in private schools must be provided with training and seminars, incentives, supplies for teaching, and other benefits that improve their productivity and become globally competitive educators.

Authors: Domingo Peachy Gilledo , Escobido Crismar Mabalay
Published: March 2024

Heteronormativity is institutionalized and the LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer) community often faces challenges because of their sexual orientation and gender preference. The process of coming out is contested and negotiated. With this observation, this study explores the salient experiences of selected members of the Filipino LGBTQ community regarding their coming out as homosexuals. A qualitative approach was used to gather and analyze data to comprehend the experiences of gay and lesbian individuals as they navigate their coming out journey. The study engages 25 participants through referrals. Findings reveal that non-heterosexual females exhibit a greater degree of fluidity in their gender identity, compared to non-heterosexual males, who primarily identify as gays. The process of “coming out” is deeply intertwined with the presence and acceptance of non-heterosexual individuals within the family.

The purpose of the study was to examine the difference between the current norm repetition-intensity recommendations and the performed repetitions of females at concurrent intensities. Females (n = 17) with six-months of consistent resistance training experience completed five testing sessions. Session-one consists of one-repetition maximum (1RM) testing for the squat (SQ), bench press (BP), and deadlift (DL). Sessions 2-5 involved repetition-maximum testing at 65, 75, 85, and 95% 1RM, in the order of SQ, BP, then DL, with 10-15 minutes of rest between exercises. A 3 (exercise) x 4 (percentage-intensity) Mixed Factorial ANOVA determined significant differences in repetitions performed between exercises at each intensity level. A series of one-sample t-tests were performed to indicate female differences between established target repetitions for each exercise across all intensities (65% = 15, 75% = 10, 85% = 6, 95% = 2). Significance level was set at p < .05. There was no significant main effect (p=0.14) between repetitions completed during SQ, BP, or DL at 65% (26.1±6.8, 21.3±6.8, 23.4±6.3, respectively), 75% (18.0±6.2, 14.4±4.2, 15.7±4.7, respectively), 85% (10.3±3.7, 9.0±4.6, 9.6±4.1, respectively), nor 95% 1RM (4.1±2.4, 2.5±2.0, 3.4±2.0, respectively). No significant difference was recognized (p = 0.09) between current norms and female BP repetitions at 95%. Significantly higher repetitions were completed by females at all other percentages during SQ, BP, and DL. These results suggest different resistance training intensity-repetition ratios should be prescribed for females in comparison to current norms; meriting future research aimed at establishing a sex-specific intensity-repetition ratio.
