Published: June 2024

The continuous migration of highly skilled Filipino healthcare professionals to work overseas is an occurrence that has indeed resulted in a significant loss of talent and expertise in the country’s healthcare system. The departure of these healthcare professionals often leaves their previous positions vacant, which leads to an increased workload for the remaining staff and eventually results in work overload, inefficiency, and shortage of personnel, which disrupts the seamless operation of the healthcare system, ultimately affecting the service delivery and the quality of patient care. Thus, further investigation of this perennial concern of Filipino healthcare professionals’ global mobility is imperative to understand its current context fully. Through semi-structured interviews and follow-up interviews, this qualitative study explores how a group of 14 former healthcare professionals in a government hospital in Leyte perceive international migration for work, their perceived factors for migration, and the everyday challenges they have encountered as migrant healthcare workers. The thematic analysis of interview responses revealed the following specific perspectives about former healthcare professionals’ view on international migration for work: further advance professional and career growth, establish a better work environment, aiming for competitive compensation, the problematic healthcare system in the Philippines, and safeguard employees’ mental wellbeing. Further, it was found that the healthcare professional participants considered the factors influencing their decision to work abroad: toxic work culture and work overload, non-competitive compensation and benefits, work inequality and abuse of power, and career development and progression. Three major themes emerged regarding challenges: overcoming culture shock, language barriers, communication gaps, and homesickness.

Mental workload dimensions measured include time pressure, mental effort, and psychological stress, whereas teacher performance has work quality, accuracy/speed of work, initiative in work, workability, and communication. The study involved a sample of 20 teachers from a vocational school. Data analysis utilized simple linear regression processed using SPSS software. Subjective assessments of mental workload by teachers indicated that the highest proportion was the need for increased concentration during teaching activities. Regarding teacher performance, the highest ratios were associated with mastering teaching materials, managing the teaching-learning process, and leading the class during the COVID-19 pandemic. The simple linear regression testing results revealed a low influence of the existing mental workload on teachers' performance. The R square value indicated that mental workload affected teacher performance by 14.7%, with the rest influenced by variables outside the regression model.

This study was conducted to determine the Pandemic's impact on the students of Office Administration's shorthand proficiency at Camarines Norte State College (CNSC). Data were gathered through a survey questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale using the descriptive method. Percentage and weighted mean were the statistical tools used to interpret the results. Ninety-five (95) 2nd year and 3rd-year students served as respondents through total population sampling. The results revealed that students are moderately proficient in shorthand writing and ineffective in time management, while rather proficient in shorthand reading and lack of reading materials was the factor. Lastly, proficiency in English grammar and communicating/interacting in a class discussion was the factor. Based on the results, an action plan was formulated as a recommendation, which includes providing innovative devices such as iPads or tablets to facilitate online stenography instruction and study.

Published: June 2024

Despite the employability and self-employment goals and objectives of pre-vocational subjects outlined in the National Policy on Education, the prevailing incidence of unemployment among the youth and its attendant crises in Nigeria were significant concerns to stakeholders and society.  Therefore, this study sought to assess the quality of instruction in the Business Studies curriculum and students’ mindset for entrepreneurship and self-employment at public and private upper-basic schools in Lagos, Nigeria. Three research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. The study population comprised 4.435 students, all teachers of business studies subjects in the selected upper-basic schools in Lagos, Nigeria. Using simple random and proportional sampling techniques, the sample size was 467 students and 11 teachers. The research instruments used were a structured questionnaire and a checklist. The internal consistency of the research instruments, using the Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient, yielded an average value of 0.72, which shows that the instruments were very reliable. Mean and standard deviation and t-tests were used as statistical tools at a 0.05 significance level. The findings show that the recommended experiential instructional strategies were not adequately implemented. Even though most respondents claimed to have a mindset for entrepreneurship and self-employment, many agreed that the quality of the Business Studies subject needs to improve for adequate employability and self-employment empowerment. Based on the findings, sufficient availability and functionality of the approved instructional resources and constant use of innovative instructional strategies were some of the recommendations.
[RETRACTED ARTICLE] Pedagogical Knowledge for Technology-Enhanced Learning
Authors: Lamtara Sana
Published: June 2024

The inexorable growth of technological use amidst COVID-19 strengthens the emerging paradigm in education and accelerates the need for technology-supported pedagogical knowledge. This paper examines how the principles of the four learning theories, behaviourism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism, are implemented in the technology-enhanced learning environment to help faculty align their pedagogy and teaching methods with technology. A review is conducted to survey relevant literature concerning learning theories and pedagogical models to achieve this goal. This review relies on four major bibliographic databases: Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, through which many articles are identified. Twenty-seven articles are selected according to the scope of the study. Then, a qualitative analysis is conducted to determine the four learning theories implemented in the online environment. The proposed pedagogical framework classifies the four learning theories in a hierarchical hierarchy according to their adherence to the student-centred learning approach. Connectivism is at the top of the pyramid due to its vast opportunities for learners’ autonomy, interactivity, and diversity. Constructivism precedes as it is also centred on learners, allowing for knowledge construction.
