Literature Review: Walk-Through Observation as a Strategy for Improving Instructional Programs
Authors: DULAY SHERWIN V.
Published: February 2025

Walk-through observations are an essential strategy for enhancing instructional practices and improving student learning. This literature review examines their effectiveness, benefits, and challenges, highlighting their role in fostering teacher development through constructive feedback, self-reflection, and collaboration. Using document analysis as the primary methodology, this review synthesizes findings from existing studies, policy documents, and best practices to evaluate the implementation and impact of walk-through observations. The analysis reveals that when conducted with clear objectives and supportive frameworks, walk-throughs contribute to improved instructional strategies, increased student engagement, and academic success. However, challenges such as teacher apprehension, inconsistent implementation, and time constraints can limit their effectiveness. Additionally, perceptions of walk-throughs as evaluative rather than developmental, along with inadequate training for school leaders, further hinder their impact. Despite these challenges, structured and well-communicated walk-through observations can create a culture of trust and continuous professional growth. Ensuring proper training, clear expectations, and a non-threatening environment is crucial to maximizing their benefits. By refining observation practices and promoting them as supportive rather than punitive, schools can empower teachers to enhance their instructional methods, ultimately improving both teaching quality and student outcomes.

Authors: Rodriguez Mary Jane P.
Published: February 2025

The Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), a cornerstone of poverty alleviation in the Philippines, faces critical gaps in translating conditional cash transfers into sustainable financial resilience among beneficiaries. This study examines the financial literacy and personal financial management (PFM) practices of 4Ps recipients in Canaman, Camarines Sur, through a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design. Findings reveal high financial literacy in knowledge (weighted mean = 3.32) and behavior (3.05), with beneficiaries demonstrating prudent cash management (mean = 2.92) and proactive expense prioritization. However, challenges persist in credit utilization (2.85) and long-term savings (2.71), exacerbated by systemic barriers such as delayed cash transfers (77%), fund misuse (55%), and stringent compliance requirements. While beneficiaries exhibit strong foundational financial attitudes (2.73), suboptimal savings strategies and borrowing beyond repayment capacities underscore the need for targeted interventions. The study advocates for enhanced financial education programs, culturally tailored credit counseling, and technology-driven savings initiatives to bridge these gaps. Recommendations emphasize timely fund disbursement, intersectional support frameworks, and community-level financial inclusion campaigns. By aligning program delivery with beneficiaries’ socio-economic realities, the 4Ps can evolve from a safety net to a catalyst for holistic empowerment, fostering economic stability and reducing intergenerational poverty in marginalized households.

Published: February 2025

Communication on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter (X) is inherently informal, colloquial, and non-standard, making it an ideal space for the use of slang, a central focus of this small-scale study. This research aims to investigate the use of slang by female Gen Z influencers on Instagram and Twitter (X). The objectives are: (1) to identify the types of slang used, and (2) to determine the most frequently used slang. Purposive sampling was utilized to select five participants, all female Malaysian beauty and lifestyle influencers born between 1996 and the present, representing Generation Z (Gen Z). All the selected influencers belong to the macro-influencer category, with 100,000 to 1 million followers on their Instagram and Twitter (X) accounts. Data for the study were collected from Instagram and Twitter posts of these influencers, focusing on posts containing slang. Content analysis was employed to examine the slang in these posts, using Barseghyan’s (2013) framework of slang types for categorization. The posts were coded and categorized into major themes based on Barseghyan’s classifications. The findings revealed that the participants used eight out of the ten slang types proposed by Barseghyan (2013): (1) letter homophones, (2) punctuation, capitalization, and other symbols, (3) onomatopoeic spellings, (4) keyboard-generated icons and smileys, (5) flaming, (6) shortening, (7) clipping, and (8) compounding. Among these, “shortening” emerged as the most frequently used type of slang. This study holds several significant implications. It advances slang research within sociolinguistics, particularly in the context of internet and modern slang, and enriches the literature on linguistic practices in online communication. Furthermore, it provides a valuable reference for future researchers interested in internet and Gen Z slang. The study also offers guidance for developing innovative research topics and methodologies, supporting a deeper understanding of the linguistic impact of contemporary slang usage.

Published: February 2025

Utilizing the data period 1990 to 2022, this empirical study is conducted to ascertain how monetary and fiscal policies in Nigeria impact on commodity price. The policy synthesis variable was defined as the product of broad money supply growth and government expenditure growth, while the commodity price index serves as the regressor. Monetary policy variables include the real interest rate and broad money supply growth, while fiscal policy variables include the federal government revenue growth and expenditure growth. The researchers empirically analysed yearly data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reports employing the Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) approach. The results suggested that the policy mix variable, federal government expenditure growth, and broad money stock growth had substantial and negative effects on the commodity price index for the short-run and long-term. Real interest rate had substantial positive effect on the regressor in both the short-run and long-term. Federal government revenue growth had an insignificant negative influence in both the short-run and long-term. The study concluded that the policy mixes variable and the employed monetary and fiscal policies indicators are significant measures for commodity price moderation in Nigeria. Nevertheless, monetary policy exerted relatively stronger short-term and long-term effects on commodity price targeting than fiscal policy. The researchers recommended that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ensure a productive market-friendly interest rate and money stock growth to dampen commodity price inflation through the use of monetary policy rate, cash reserve ratio, and open market operations. Additionally, federal government should ensure that fiscal mobilization and allocations are directed towards creation of the necessary enablers to drive real economic activities, which in turn transmits to moderate commodity price level. The monetary and fiscal policy institutions should ensure proper synthesis in the management of their injection components to achieve welfare-friendly commodity prices in Nigeria.

Published: February 2025

The need for effective English language education among ESL learners, particularly in underserved communities, remains a significant challenge in achieving educational equity and learner empowerment. Despite the growing emphasis on Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in education, there is limited empirical evidence on their specific impact on fostering learner autonomy and language proficiency through immersive programs. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of CSR-driven English language boot camps in enhancing learner empowerment by examining their influence on autonomy, confidence, and language proficiency among Year Six ESL students. A quantitative research design was employed, involving a structured questionnaire administered to a purposive sample of 75 participants from a larger population of 163 students. The questionnaire assessed the impact of interactive activities, gamified elements, and real-world applications incorporated into the boot camps. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including t-tests and regression, were conducted to analyze the data. The findings revealed that CSR-driven boot camps significantly improved learner autonomy and language proficiency, with high levels of engagement and confidence reported among participants. The integration of gamified elements and collaborative tasks emerged as key factors in sustaining motivation and fostering meaningful learning experiences. However, areas such as oral communication require further enhancement to address lower confidence levels in speaking English. The study underscores the theoretical relevance of Constructivist Theory and Self-Determination Theory in framing effective CSR-backed educational initiatives. Practically, it provides a blueprint for implementing CSR programs that align with national education policies, such as the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2013-2025. These findings emphasize the transformative potential of CSR in bridging educational inequalities and fostering inclusive growth in ESL education. Future research should explore longitudinal impacts and scalability across diverse educational settings to maximize the benefits of such programs.
