Authors: Corazon G. Pardo  , Luzviminda P. Relon
Published: July 2024

The quality of education is measured by the employment and establishment of sustainable career paths for graduates. Tracer studies allow higher education institutions to generate integrated data on their graduates' employment while also reflecting the quality of education they provide. This study traced the employment profile of the 2018 Teacher Education graduates at a University in North Luzon, Philippines. It also analyzed the graduates' suggestions about the curriculum and selected employers' feedback. The study utilized the descriptive-survey method of research, questionnaire, and interviews. Results showed that most respondents are 21 years old, female-dominated, single, and passed the licensure examination for teachers and the Civil Service Professional Examination. More than half of the employed respondents landed their first teaching job within six months after graduation in private schools, handling course-related subjects as contractual/provisional and receiving low salaries. Self-employed and unemployed graduates are waiting for job opportunities to exercise their careers in public schools. English communication, professional and significant subjects closely related to effective teaching and learning are essential to them after graduation. Provision for better facilities and equipment, curriculum emphasizing the development of 21st-century skills, exposure to lesson plans and school forms preparation, and presence of specialized teachers to handle major subjects are recommendations to improve the curriculum. Similarly, employers suggested better classroom management, reporting, and personal and professional skills development for the graduates.

Published: July 2024

Teaching is globally respected and forms the foundation of educational frameworks around the world. This study explored the stories of teachers who were unpromoted until retirement despite their dedication. The literature has neglected this set of educators' struggles. This research illuminates these teachers' struggles since their tales are crucial to understanding teacher recognition and career growth. This phenomenological research seeks to comprehend instructors who earned no advancements during their careers. By exploring their lives, the study highlights their distinct emotional and professional obstacles. Qualitative phenomenology was used to study participants and complex experiences. Semi-structured face-to-face interviews were done with teachers who have never been promoted. The themes confronted without job development are shown by their perspectives. Face-to-face interviews provide in-depth participant insights. Recorded, transcribed, and analyzed interviews revealed narrative themes and patterns. Interview topics were extracted and analyzed using thematic analysis. This strategy helped participants identify common challenges and experiences. Professional stagnation, emotional toll, student dedication, and promotion-centric culture emerged from the thematic analysis. Teachers who were never promoted encounter several obstacles. Their frequently disregarded stories highlight the need for more inclusive and supportive school career advancement strategies. Addressing these issues is crucial to teachers’ well-being and motivation. The study's findings affect education and policy. Recognizing teachers who were never promoted until retirement emphasizes their devotion and accomplishments. It argues for inclusive career progression and support networks that prioritize all teachers' professional growth and wellbeing.

Women farmers are underrepresented in Philippine society. Their existence and hard work are often disregarded and undervalued. This is apparent in localities where agriculture is the leading source of income. This sequential-explanatory study inquired about women farmers' financial literacy level and lived experiences in four municipalities in the 1st District of Ilocos Sur, where most women farmers are located. The study utilized a problem-solving test and survey questionnaires to determine the literacy level of women farmers in terms of knowledge, attitude and behavior, and skills. At the same time, a semi-structured interview was done for the qualitative aspect of the study. Frequency and percentage, mean, and thematic analysis were used to analyze the data. Results showed that women farmers exhibited low financial knowledge and skills and a high financial attitude and behavior, resulting in an average financial literacy. Challenges influenced by their low financial knowledge and skills were due to environmental and social factors. Meanwhile, their high financial attitude and behavior positively impacted their lived farming experiences. Moreover, their exposure to selling, budgeting, saving, and engaging with banking institutions contributed to their average financial literacy. Therefore, the study recommends programs and training implementations by the government to improve the farmers' financial literacy further and empower women farmers.

Authors: John Paul G. Fabrigas  , Joseph G. Taban
Published: July 2024

To understand how contextualization and localization have been applied to mathematics instruction, this study explored the effects of the shift in the educational paradigm brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. This research determined the extent of implementation of contextualization and localization in teaching Mathematics among the Mathematics teachers in the fourteen schools in the El Nido Del Norte and Del Sur Districts in the new normal. Mixed methods, quantitative, and qualitative research designs were employed using a survey questionnaire as the primary data-gathering tool and a semi-structured interview guide. The level of implementation of contextualization and localization in teaching Mathematics, specifically in terms of assessment tools and instructional materials, was found to be "High." It was found that creating localized materials was challenging among teaching teachers because it required translating materials into local languages, especially since there are multiple languages spoken in the area. However, teachers receive support from administrators, colleagues, parents, and the community to overcome challenges. Based on these findings, recommendations made in the study included regular professional development, building a community of practice, research and evaluation, policy and technology support, involving parents/local community, and monitoring and feedback.

This study unwrapped and discussed the beliefs and practices of Itnegs during the perinatalperiod, particularly in the pregnancy, postpartum, and infant care phases. A descriptive phenomenology type of qualitative study was utilized to explore the beliefs and practices of theItnegs in Barangay Cadanglaan, Magsingal, Ilocos Sur. With all the revelations of the participants, the following conclusions were coiled: The first central theme is Neonatal andIntrapartal Care with two categories, Superstitious Beliefs and Practices, MultivitaminSupplementation, and Safety Measures; under this theme highlighted the beliefs and practicesthat they follow to attain good delivery of fetus and practices that may lessen the jeopardy ofcomplications that may lead to abortion and other complications of the mother and the fetus.The second theme is postpartum care, which has two categories: scientific and indigenousapproaches. This portion revealed that Itnegs have different beliefs and practices that focus onfaster healing of the mother and prevention of post-delivery complications of the fetus; all are anchored to the inherited knowledge from their predecessors. The third theme is Neonatal Care,with three categories, Protection Feeding Approaches and Home Remedies, which lean onprotecting against harm to the infant, both physiologic and superstitious claims. Lastly, the fourth theme is Introspections with two categories: Culture Adaptation and Culture Preservation,wherein these folks showed how worried they are about possibly eliminating these nativepractices and beliefs and how they adapted new practices. Itnegs are one of the IP groups with gazillions of practices and beliefs that are fascinating and tested over time. However, as days goon, these ancestral concepts weren't transmitted to the present generation, which gives anincreased possibility of being covered up by modern approaches. The revelation of these tribalconcepts is essential because they are not just considered manna but treasures sharpened bytime and challenged by the dynamic world.
Towards An Integrated Structure and Agency Construction of Political Rights in the Philippines
Authors: Patawaran-Llenas Milrose , Batoon Emmanuel
Published: July 2024

Political rights in the Philippines continue to be a persistent societal challenge despite ongoing efforts across various sectors to address issues related to their protection. Human rights studies traditionally consider political rights inherent, yet disputes over their interpretation persist, suggesting that consensus depends on aligning definitions with universal human nature. This paper contends that political rights are socially constructed through historical processes involving diverse social structures and agents. Therefore, integrating structural and agential perspectives is crucial for establishing a common societal understanding of these rights. Drawing on social constructionism theories by Benjamin Gregg (2011), Peter Berger (1966), and Anthony Giddens' structuration theory (1984), this study explores how individuals' interactions within society and culture shape the conception of political human rights. An exploratory-sequential mixed-method approach was employed, combining qualitative documentary analysis and interviews to investigate how social structures and agents construct political rights. Quantitative data triangulation further enhanced the study's comprehensiveness and depth. Key findings underscore ongoing efforts to address political rights in the Philippines, highlighting the social nature of their understanding and the necessity for collaborative efforts among government and multiple sectors.

Konflik antara masyarakat pesisir di Kecamatan Sagulung dan Bagan, Kota Batam, Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (LSM) lingkungan hidup, dan perwakilan Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan (KLHK) terkait pembalakan liar di hutan bakau negara sudah terjadi bertahun-tahun. Sebaliknya, pemerintah daerah mengembangkan perencanaan kota yang mengalokasikan sebagian kawasan hutan negara untuk beberapa pembangunan. Wawancara semi terstruktur digunakan untuk mengumpulkan informasi dari tokoh masyarakat, pemilik dan pekerja industri arang bakau, LSM dan perwakilan KLHK mengenai pembalakan liar bakau. Masyarakat lokal bersedia menghentikan pembalakan liar dan mencari pekerjaan lain. Namun, masyarakat mengharapkan pemerintah daerah untuk melegalkan industri arang bakau. Sementara itu, LSM tersebut tidak dapat mentolerir penebangan liar di kawasan hutan bakau negara dan berkomitmen untuk menuntut para pembalak liar. Terkait illegal logging, KLHK menampung pengaduan masyarakat mengenai kerusakan hutan dan mengelola konservasi hutan negara. Hutan Lindung Mangrove Matang di Malaysia dan konsesi hutan
bakau di Teluk Bintuni dan Kubu Raya, Indonesia, telah mewujudkan hutan bakau lestari dengan menerapkan sistem silvikultur dan peraturan yang tepat dari pihak berwenang. Di sisi lain, budidaya lamun cukup prospektif di Kota Batam. Namun pengumpulan lamun saat ini akan merugikan populasi ikan di masa depan. Kesimpulannya, pengelolaan hutan sangat penting dalam mengembangkan hutan bakau berkelanjutan sebagai penghidupan Masyarakat pesisir.

Perencanaan merupakan suatu unsur strategis yang sangat penting  sebagai pedoman untuk melaksanakan kegiatan yang bertujuan mencapai tujuan atau sasaran yang diinginkan. Proses perencanaan merupakan serangkaian kegiatan yang dilakukan sebagai persiapan pengambilan keputusan mengenai apa yang boleh dilakukan dan apa yang tidak boleh dilakukan. Dalam pendidikan Islam, perencanaan adalah salah satu elemen kunci untuk pelaksanaan kegiatan pendidikan yang efektif baik di tingkat nasional maupun lokal. Namun dalam praktik pendidikan Islam, perencanaan pendidikan dianggap sebagai unsur tambahan dan tujuan tidak tercapai secara maksimal. Pentingnya perencanaan strategis bagi pengembangan pendidikan Islam di Indonesia menunjukkan bahwa masih perlu adanya upaya-upaya penyelenggaraan pendidikan Islam di Indonesia untuk memposisikan diri sedemikian rupa sehingga pendidikan Islam benar-benar dapat mencapai tujuannya

Tiga Fase Padang Gurun dalam Kehidupan Daud
Authors: Silitonga Chardo Nardy
Published: July 2024

Abstract: Christian leadership has its own uniqueness compared to secular leadership. God is a person who works either directly or indirectly in the selection, testing and improvement of a Christian leader. Various dynamics occur in the life of a Christian leader and it is a certainty that ups and downs are often found in the formation of the character of a Christian leader. Various leadership problems are also experienced by Christian leaders, both internal and external problems of a Christian leader. The purpose of this study is to take a reflection for Christian leaders through three wilderness phases in David's life, namely the period before the anointing to become king, the period of waiting to become king and his reign as king over the united kingdom of Israel. This study uses an approach to the study of the Bible and literature. From this research, it will be seen that in David's life experience there was a process from God that he had to go through in his existence as a king of Israel. In the process David experienced the wilderness phase of his life. In each phase of the wilderness there were various challenges faced both physically and spiritually. In the end, everything went well and David was still pleasing to God and of course what happened to David could be reflected in the life of the Christian leaders of the time.Abstrak: Kepemimpinan Kristen memiliki keunikan tersendiri dibandingkan dengan kepemimpinan sekuler. Allah merupakan pribadi yang bekerja baik secara langsung atau tidak langsung dalam pemilihan, pembentukan, pengujian dan koreksi terhadap seorang pemimpin Kristen. Berbagai dinamika terjadi dalam kehidupan seorang pemimpin Kristen dan merupakan suatu kepastian bahwa sering ditemukan pasang surut dalam pembentukan karakter mereka. Berbagai persoalan kepemimpinan juga dialami para pemimpin Kristen baik itu persoalan yang berasal dari internal maupun eksternal dari seorang pemimpin Kristen. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengambil suatu refleksi bagi pemimpin Kristen melalui tiga fase padang gurun dalam kehidupan Daud yaitu masa sebelum pengurapan menjadi raja, masa penantian untuk menjadi raja dan masa pemerintahannya sebagai raja atas kerajaan Israel bersatu. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi Alkitab dan literatur. Dari penelitian ini akan terlihat bahwa dalam pengalaman kehidupan Daud ada proses dari Tuhan yang harus dia lalui dalam keberadaannya sebagai seorang raja Israel. Dalam proses tersebut Daud mengalami fase padang gurun di dalam kehidupannya. Dalam setiap fase padang gurun tersebut ada berbagai permasalahan dan tantangan yang dihadapi baik secara fisik dan spiritual. Namun pada akhirnya semua berhasil dilewati dengan baik dan Daud tetap berkenan dihadapan Allah dan tentunya apa yang dialami oleh Daud tersebut dapat direfleksikan dalam kehidupan pemimpin Kristen zaman sekarang.

Published: July 2024

Abstract: Insulting the president and officials in today's digital freedom era is truly ironic, therefore the purpose of writing this article is so that God's people can understand and be mature in acting regarding insults to the president and government officials. Using descriptive qualitative methods with a literature study approach, it can be concluded that God's true people must understand the definition and essence of insult in terminology. So that Christianity can provide a paradigm for freedom of expression in the digital era. So that God's people see and understand everything to use their mouths and fingers in comments, it is very embarrassing to insult the leadership of this nation. Because contempt in the theological study of the Christian Faith is very clear against all things against that humiliation. Of course, this basis carries the role of God's people in actualizing a wise opinion regarding insulting the President and the Government.
Abstrak: Tujuan penulisan artikel ini supaya umat Tuhan dapat memahami dan dewasa dalam bertindak terkait penghinaan terhadap presiden dan jajaran pemerintahan. Menggunakan metode kualitatif deskritif dengan pendekatan studi literature, maka dapat disimpulkan bahwa sejatinya umat Tuhan harus memahami definisi dan hakikat dari penghinaan dalam terminologi. Supaya kekristenan dapat memberikan paradigma tentang kebebasan berpendapat di era digital dari sudut pandang Teologis etis. Sehingga umat Tuhan melihat dan memahami segala hal untuk mempergunakan mulut maupun jari dalam berkomentar Agar berhati-hati agar tidak menghina pemimpin bangsa, dan lebih kepada mengkritisi kebijakannya dalam konteks pejabat publik. Sebab hal itu sangat memalukan bila menghina pimpinan bangsa ini. Sebab penghinaan dalam kajian Teologis Iman Kristen sangat jelas menenatang segala hal terhadap penghinaan itu. Tentunya dasar ini membawa peran umat Tuhan dalam mengaktualisasi sikap berpendapat yang bijak terkait penghinaan kepada Presiden dan Pemerintahan.

El personal docente, dado el efecto multiplicador que pueden tener sus acciones, debe ser consciente de la importancia de trabajar en el aula el consumo responsable y la separación de residuos. Para ello, partiendo de experiencias previas, se ha desarrollado una secuencia de actividades para el alumnado de los grados de Magisterio en Educación Infantil y de Educación Primaria. La secuencia, compuesta por seis actividades, buscaba mejorar los conocimientos y comportamientos del alumnado y dotarles de herramientas para implementar secuencias similares en el futuro. Se ha visto que la secuencia ha tenido un impacto positivo, sirviendo para concienciarles sobre los tipos de residuos que se generan en la facultad, cómo se gestionan, a desterrar falsos mitos y a sentirse más seguros para trabajar estos aspectos en sus futuras aulas. Con los resultados, se han establecido mejoras de cara a poder implementar esta secuencia en sucesivos cursos.

La Geología en Educación Secundaria se ha encontrado con muchas dificultades a la hora de impartirse en las aulas con un enfoque holístico, contextualizado y aplicable para el alumnado. Actualmente, se está extendiendo el compromiso docente que busca implantar métodos de enseñanza innovadores que sitúen al alumnado como el sujeto activo del aprendizaje. El Escape Room Educativo (ERE) es una herramienta dentro del Aprendizaje Basado en Juegos que consiste en diseñar retos y acertijos dentro de una temática donde se trabajan los contenidos teóricos de una forma dinámica, en el que el alumnado tiene que resolver una serie de pruebas en 45 minutos y encontrar la clave final con la que podrá salir del aula. El presente trabajo consiste en diseñar una propuesta de ERE de tipo analógico sobre terremotos y ponerlo en práctica como instrumento de evaluación dentro de una unidad didáctica para el alumnado de 4º ESO.

La generalización de las TIC converge en la escuela actual con la apuesta por el aprendizaje competencial. En las ciencias sociales, este enfoque innovador se materializa en el concepto de pensamiento histórico y en las habilidades de comprensión histórica. Este trabajo busca integrar ambos elementos en una investigación con estudiantes de Bachillerato en la cual, a través de una propuesta didáctica donde las TIC suponen el eje principal, se evalúan los niveles de pensamiento histórico adquiridos. Los resultados avalan que una adecuada utilización de estas herramientas favorece el planteamiento de problemas históricos de manera compleja y corroboran que el alumnado familiarizado con su utilización está mejor preparado para ello. Aunque se constatan aún dificultades en el aprendizaje competencial de la Historia, destacan los resultados del alumnado de Bachillerato Internacional, confirmando que los conocimientos necesarios para la formación de pensamiento histórico son habilidades cognitivas que el alumnado es capaz de adquirir.

La Cartografía es fundamental en la enseñanza de la Geografía porque ayuda a entender el mundo y a explicar la realidad. Este estudio se centra en analizar los mapas en los libros de texto de 5º y 6º de Educación Primaria de manuales editados con la ley LOMCE y con la actual LOMLOE. Usando un sistema de categorización y el software ATLAS.ti, se estudia el tipo de mapas, la información que proporcionan, y se analiza el tipo de actividades didácticas que proponen. Los resultados muestran una menor presencia de mapas en los manuales de la LOMLOE, aunque con un rol didáctico más significativo. Su finalidad no es meramente estética, sino fundamentalmente informativa-explicativa, y el ámbito territorial es diverso. Se detecta una tendencia hacia la inclusión de actividades didácticas con mayor nivel de complejidad. Finalmente, se discute sobre el valor de la Cartografía para la enseñanza de la Geografía.

Pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis is a druggable metabolic dependency of cancer cells, and chemotherapy agents targeting pyrimidine metabolism are the backbone of treatment for many cancers. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) is an essential enzyme in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway that can be targeted by clinically approved inhibitors. However, despite robust preclinical anticancer efficacy, DHODH inhibitors have shown limited single-agent activity in phase 1 and 2 clinical trials. Therefore, novel combination therapy strategies are necessary to realize the potential of these drugs. To search for therapeutic vulnerabilities induced by DHODH inhibition, we examined gene expression changes in cancer cells treated with the potent and selective DHODH inhibitor brequinar (BQ). This revealed that BQ treatment causes upregulation of antigen presentation pathway genes and cell surface MHC class I expression. Mechanistic studies showed that this effect is (1) strictly dependent on pyrimidine nucleotide depletion, (2) independent of canonical antigen presentation pathway transcriptional regulators, and (3) mediated by RNA polymerase II elongation control by positive transcription elongation factor B (P-TEFb). Furthermore, BQ showed impressive single-agent efficacy in the immunocompetent B16F10 melanoma model, and combination treatment with BQ and dual immune checkpoint blockade (anti-CTLA-4 plus anti-PD-1) significantly prolonged mouse survival compared to either therapy alone. Our results have important implications for the clinical development of DHODH inhibitors and provide a rationale for combination therapy with BQ and immune checkpoint blockade.
Running modulates primate and rodent visual cortex differently

When mice run, activity in their primary visual cortex (V1) is strongly modulated. This observation has altered conceptions of a brain region assumed to be a passive image processor. Extensive work has followed to dissect the circuits and functions of running-correlated modulation. However, it remains unclear whether visual processing in primates might similarly change during locomotion. We therefore measured V1 activity in marmosets while they viewed stimuli on a treadmill. In contrast to mouse, running-correlated modulations of marmoset V1 were small, and tended to be slightly suppressive. Population-level analyses revealed trial- to-trial fluctuations of shared gain across V1 in both species, but while strongly correlated with running in mice, gain modulations were smaller and more often negatively correlated with running in marmosets. Thus, population-wide fluctuations of V1 may reflect a common feature of mammalian visual cortical function, but important quantitative differences point to distinct consequences for the relation between vision and action in primates versus rodents.
