Dear fellow researchers,

W

elcome to the 3rd International Virtual Conference on Interdisciplinary Research in Higher Education (IVCRHE 2022) held on May 11- 13, 2022 via ZOOM. This forum is the symbol of the active intellectuals being insatiable for doing research and publication of the research results.

I am glad today because the theme being chosen is relevant to the research endeavor during the pandemic, “Research during Pandemic: Gains and Challenges.” There is a good mission behind this theme. As scholars, we cannot solve society’s problems by ourselves especially during the pandemic. We have eye-witnessed how difficult the world was affected and there is no single strategy we can use as a panacea for solving this dilemma. Therefore, multidisciplinary approach is the best way to cope.

The theme that we have chosen with multidisciplinary approach reminds us of being aware that the more disciplines of science we have acknowledged, the more effective our strategy will be to solve the current and future problems we will be facing. This academic activity, can lead us to better find the best panacea. It is for obtaining the best result for solving the complicated problems of the world.

MESSAGE

It is important for us to expand our knowledge by joining in this kind of event as members of IASPER or by actively engaging with all our organized activities. This gathering will enable us to exchange ideas and share our professional experiences for the betterment one another.

We can keep ourselves updated and more adaptable to any changes of strategies and approaches for the improvement of our research and methodologies.

We believe that IASPER is essential for scholars like us, as the organization keeps on providing platform in which we could discuss our research findings in different fields. In this, we can crystallize it for the contribution to the improvement of our educational practices. Research and publication can be disseminated for improving our educational process, especially the research results related to education system and development making us globally recognized. Our contribution to higher education is demanded by creating the-state-of-the art strategies and methodologies in research.

I would like to express my highest appreciation to Prof. Dr. Ir. Achmad Jazidie, M. Eng., the Rector of Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (UNUSA), Prof. Kacung Marijan, Drs., MA., Ph.D and the presenters represented by the lecturers and students of UNUSA. Also to our Resource Speakers and Plenary Speakers. I am indebted to all my colleaugues from UNUSA for their support in this conference. Besides that, we are also glad for the opportunity to be the co-host of this conference.

Lastly, I have to thank Dr. Genaro V. Japos, the Board of Directors of IASPER, for his endless endeavor to make this conference sustainable. I would also like to express my highest appreciation to Ms. Gayle T. Salalima, who has kept me updated with the day-to-day organization management and operation. Also, to Mr. Russel B.

Assalamualaikum wr. Wb. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings hopefully be with you.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Ladies and gentlemen, First of all, let us express our Praise to Allah, all the mighty, for giving us help and health so that we can get together in this great event. Our blessings and salutations are given to Rasululloh who has shown a clear path to life blessed by Allah SWT The honorable MR. RUSSEL B. OBSIOMA, the Executive Director of Asian Society of Teachers for Research Philippines. The honorable Keynote Speakers, PROFESORA CRISTINA MAURICIO CERDA of Instituto Superior de Investigación y Docencia del Magisterio Mexico and PROF. KACUNG MARIJAN, Drs., MA., Ph.D, Vice Rector for Academic Affairs and Students of Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (UNUSA) Indonesia. The honorable Plenary Speakers, ASSOC. PROF. DR K.H ALAN KEOY, Director, Institute of Computer Science and Digital Innovation, UCSI University; DR. ALEXANDER S. ACOSTA, Philippine School Doha; and DR. IMEE COLONIA ACOSTA of Virginia Commonwealth University. The honorable DR. DJUWARI, the International President of International Association of Sholarly Publishers, Editors, and Reviewers, Inc. from Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya. I would also like to express my gratitute to the honorable DR. GENARO V. JAPOS, President of Philippine Association of Institution for Research, Inc. Philippines, as well as the honorable all the speakers that I cannot mention one by one.

I am thanking you, especially the committees who are very helpful to organize this event well. Ladies and gentlemen, I warmly and happily welcome UNUSA’s collaboration with IASPER. After meeting with Dr. Djuwari, the president of IASPER, who is now already becoming one of the lecturers at UNUSA, we are glad to have an opportunity for collaboration to organize the international conference with IASPER.

MESSA GE

Hopefully, in the future, IASPER can become a partner for publishing the research articles written by the lecturers and students of UNUSA. We also hope that, in the future, this collaboration can become a liaison between UNUSA and all researchers internationally. We believe that the more relationships, the easier to act in the dynamic of life, either as the researchers or lecturers, especially in this globalization era.

In this occasion, let me introduce our University. UNUSA (Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya), is a private University that is relatively new, which is officially 9 years. However, we stay at the position of 176 Rank of University from thousands in Indonesia. We realize that it is not easy to get that rank but we are able to reach that achievement. This great endeavor is of course due to the total support by our excellent human resources, the lecturers and administrators, as well as the excellent Technology of Information System.

UNUSA has 5 faculties and 20 departments. UNUSA has a beautiful motto that is to develop Rahmatan lil Alamin generation. In English, Rahmatan Lil ‘Alamiin has a meaning of Rahmah (or Grace) to all the universe. In relation to this motto, the UNUSA graduates are expected to be helpful for their environments to build technology of all corners of life according to their respective majors they have taken. Therefore, it is not just a motto but beyond.

For that reason, I am really proud of being appointed the rector of UNUSA. In this monumental event, we contribute one Keynote speaker that is represented by PROF. KACUNG MARIJAN, Drs., MA., Ph.D and five presenters represented by the lecturers and students from UNUSA. Besides that, we are also glad for the opportunity to be the co-host of this international conference.

Finally, I would also like to express my appreciation to all of you and welcome all the Keynote speakers, the speakers, and participants, good luck and congratulations on your activities at this event, namely 3rd International Virtual Conference on Interdisciplinary Research in Higher Education 2022.

I hope that a good relation and cooperation will mutually develop sustainably. Wallahul muwaffiq ila aqwamittharieq. Assalamualaikum wr.wb

KEYNOTE SPEECH PROF. KACUNG MARIJAN, Drs., MA., Ph.D kacung.marihan@unusa.ac.id Vice Rector for Academic and Students Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya Indonesia

“Research During Pandemic: Gains and Challenges” It is a great honour for me to have an opportunity to talk to you in this conference. I was asked to discuss about research during pandemic: gains and challenges.

For about two and half years, all of us all over the world, have experienced catastrophises situation because of Covid-19 pandemic. There is no single country in the world that can avoid the pandemic. It is recorded that in end of April 2022, a total of 517.30 million people were infected of covid-19 all over the world and 6.28 million among them were dead.

In addition, its impacts to social and economic aspects have been so obvious. Millions of people lost their jobs. The economic situation was even worse compared to what happened during the great depression in 1930s. Obviously, this is because the pandemic hindered physical mobility. Therefore, manufacturing and other business processes were suddenly stopped. During the fast spreading of the virus, a number of governments or local governments issued lock-down policies to stop it. But, consequently, this economic growth dropped dramatically.

Academicians, like us, were also impacted by the pandemic. During the last two years, many of us has conducted learning process mostly through online. Fortunately, prior to the pandemic, a number of online communication platforms, such as zoom, google meet, and webex, have been invented. I could not imagine what would happened if there were no such platforms. Through these platforms social interactions, including leaning process that are usually conducted physically, can be substituted through virtual interactions.

As men of thinking, we have been able to adapt our life activities into the new normal relatively fast. In addition to the use of those platforms of communication technology for learning process and other interactions, we have continued our limited physical interactions through wearing masks and observing social distancing in public space.

These were the ways to avoid more severe social and economic impacts of the pandemic.

Our research activities has also significantly been hampered by the pandemic, especially for those who usually need to gather data directly in the fields through having conversations or interview with informants or respondents. Therefore, in the early time of the pandemic, some of us delayed or even cancelled their research. In addition to the technical problems of gathering the data, many cases also happened because of difficulties in obtaining funding. Many counties in the world, for example, has reallocated their budgets from other sector to fight for the pandemic.

But, again, we are men of thinking. We have been able to adapt the way we conduct our research. A number of social scientists have introduced to nethnography prior to the pandemic. It is a type of method in social science, especially in media studies. It has been

IVCIRHE 2022 • May 11-13, 2022

26

adopted from ethnography, a method that usually applied by cultural anthropologists to describe socio-cultural processes in societies. Nethnography then have been applied to understand and describe social interactions and process within and about social media. After the pandemic, netnoghapy method has been more popular among scientiest, not only for those interested in social media studies but also for other social scientist.

In addition to make gathering data easier during the pandemic, the application of such nethnography method is based on reality that in fact, out there in the clouds, there have been lots of data for our study. Within social media, for example, has provided a lots of conversations in many issues from which we can take for our research. In a broader context, social scientist have also used big data from which it make us possible to mining data for research purposes.

Shortly, during pandemic, indeed we suffered a lot at the beginning, but finally we have been able to survive and continue our life activities. We have continued our research activities in dreadful condition during pandemic. It can be seen from publications. While many economic activities drop dramatically during the pandemic, journals have continued their publications.

Moreover, covid-19 pandemic itself has been popular theme in our research.

When we open google scholar, for example, and put keywords ‘covid-19 pandemic,’ we will find thousands of publications that discuss about it. The topics vary from health issues to educational issues. In this case, somehow, pandemic has been a kind of blessing for researchers.

Initially, only researchers whose interested in medication involved in finding the virus, the cause of the virus, and the way how to inhibit the spread of the virus, etc, conducting their research on this issue. After that, other researchers have involved in issues dealing with covid-19 pandemic. For example, economists are interested in analysing the impact of pandemic to the growth of poverty. Social scientist are interested in understanding the implication of the pandemic on social interactions, criminal behaviour, etc.

Now, the pandemic seems to be in slow-down process.

Some people, being so optimistic, suggest that we are now in the process of endemic.

Whatever will happened, pandemic has resulted a new normal, new habits, and even a new culture. Perhaps, it could not be vanished as endemic happen. This is probably, one of our future research then.

As pandemic has stimulated more new methods in our research, it is good practice for us to discuss further deeply dealing with the new methods and how to apply them in our research. For this, I hope the conference will discuss more about this issue. Here, I also want to ask more research and publication collaborations, especially among us, researchers from the Philippines and UNUSA.

SYNTHESIS OF

3rd International Virtual Conference on Interdisciplinary Research in Higher Education 2022 Research during the Pandemic: Gains and Challenges MR. RUSSEL B. OBSIOMA Executive Director Asian Society of Teachers for Research Philippines To Dr. Djuwari Sarkawi, International President of the International Association of Scholarly Publishers, Editors, and Reviewers, Prof Dr. Achmad Jazidie, Rector of the Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya, keynote speakers Profesora Cristina Mauricio Cerda of the Instituto Superior de Investigacion y Docencia del Magisterio Mexico and Prof. Kacung Marijan, Drs. MA Ph.D. of the Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya, virtual presenters, observers and guests to this 3rd International Virtual Conference on Interdisciplinary Research in Higher Education 2022, a pleasant morning to all of you!

The greatest force of disruption as well as an impetus for innovation in modern history, the COVID-19 pandemic and its rippling effects extend to all corners of the society: infected cases overwhelming public health facilities, business and industries shutting down operations, significant contraction of global economy affecting job security, spending, and production of goods and services, and governments scrambling to formulate virus containment strategies. Such unprecedented drawbacks paint the picture of the COVID-19 pandemic in its onset.

The education sector also suffered the brunt of the forced lockdowns, quarantines, and strict countermeasures to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The pandemic has led to changes in learning set-up due to the closure of schools, colleges, universities and educational institutions. From conventional face-to-face education to flexible and blended learning, such shift widened the equity gaps which serve as challenges to the education of vulnerable groups and marginalized peoples.

The pandemic and its associated disruptions also alter how the global research enterprise and research culture go about which impacted not just the professional researchers and scientists’ research endeavors and grants but also, undergraduate and graduate students’ academic research. In conducting basic and experimental research in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic, faculty, students, and research staff adapted to working remotely while others do laboratory work in shifts. For researchers doing descriptivequantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods design research, innovations

due to pandemic restrictions pointed towards the digitalization of the research process: actual face-toface interviews were replaced by interviews via videoconferencing platforms such as ZOOM and Google Meet while physical survey questionnaires migrated into Google Forms and Survey Monkeys, among others. From the challenges imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic to researchers, scientists, and students came opportunities for reinvention; making stepping stones of ingenuity out of the stumbling blocks of uncertainty.

The International Association of Scholarly Publishers, Editors, & Reviewers, Inc. and the Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya, recognizes both the opportunities and drawbacks of research in the face of the COVID pandemic as it stage the International Virtual Conference on Interdisciplinary Research 2022 on May 11-13, 2022 via Zoom Teleconferencing. Themed “Research during the Pandemic: Gains and Challenges,” this virtual conference provides an avenue for presentation for research outputs on interdisciplinary research in higher education in the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The bulk of the research outputs to be presented in the Conference belong the Education Strand.

The study on the impact of flipped classroom of teacher trainers in English, collaborative learning studies in Science 6, determining the writing proficiency level of students through essay evaluation provide insights on pedagogy, the method and practice of teaching. Moreover, the morpho-syntactic analysis on select editorials of a certain tabloid, command and request in John Green’s “The Fault in Our Stars,” the language style perform by Joe Biden in his speeches and the mother tongue-based multilingual education of a certain district contribute to the greatly to the advancement of the language education field. On the other hand, studies on the contextualized modules on hypothesis testing using parametric tests for basic statistics, the effectiveness of Numbo Game to the mathematical skills of freshmen college students, efficacy of game-aided instruction II teaching Mathematics, and user- centered approach to developing Mathematics teaching plans, provide both teacher-learner insights in the Mathematics Education field.

The Conference also welcomes studies which looked into educational institutions outside the usual teacher-learner synergy. The study on the challenges encountered by the public primarily school teachers in the implementation of the K-12 daily lesson logs, students’ awareness, access, availment, and satisfaction with guidance services in a state university in the Philippines, and stakeholders’ engagement and implementation of school-based management in public secondary school gave information for policy formulation and utilization of research findings to the respective institutions.

Sensitive to the call of the times, research outputs on education and learning during the COVID-19 pandemic will be presented and discussed in the three-day conference. The studies on the politeness strategies on student’s responses to teacher’s online announcements, virtualization in the new normal and educational outcomes among students in a state university, students’ motivation and perception in learning Social Science using Distance Modality, and experiences in Flexible Learning of students under technology-related discipline are some of the students which tackle flexible and blended learning as an educational adaptation to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Business research outputs would also be highlighted in this international forum. The study on the service quality and client satisfaction of land transportation services in the province of Capiz, Philippines revealed that there is high correlation between service quality and client satisfaction. The research on marketing strategies and customer satisfaction ratings of selected hotels in Iloilo City, Philippines revealed that hotels in Iloilo City have highly employed marketing strategies and guests were very satisfied with their services. The investigation on the extent of implementation of the Social Development and Management Program of a mining company has shown that the social development and management program is highly implemented.

Research and development of food products are well-represented in the IVCIRHE 2022.

The production of a purple stripe garlic (Allium sativum) paste, utilization of cardaba banana (Musa balbisiana) in enhance nutribun, and development of surimi-based products from black-chin tilapia (Sarotherodon melanotheron) are studies on food science and technology that will be presented in the three-day forum.

Disaster risk reduction and climate change mitigation studies will also highlight the interdisciplinary nature of this international conference. The study on the effectiveness of local government units disaster response during the Taal Volcano’s phreatic eruption proposed a plan of action to enhance the effectiveness of the local government unit’s disaster responses. Proposals were also recommended for the local government unit as a result of the study on the issues on evacuation coordination management for Super Typhoon Odette (Rai). An Enhanced Community Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan was materialized from the findings of the study on the disaster preparedness practices of households in the coastal communities of a congressional district in the Philippines to strengthen the participation of households in disaster preparedness.

The study on the effectiveness of the response of the provincial government of Batangas during the COVID-19 pandemic, legislative capabilities of local legislators in Batangas Province, effectiveness of the provincial information office in promoting the programs of the provincial government, and preparedness of the newly elected youth council officials in the performance of their duties highlighted interesting findings on the governance and public administration strand.

The qualitative studies on the forensic discourse analysis demystifying meta-categories in Philippine suicide notes, lived experiences of rido: the Meranao case, and nonverbal communication and cultural features of highest grossing movies among ASEAN countries are welcome addition of research outputs in the IVCIRHEEE 2022 saturated by descriptive-quantitative research studies.

These studies and more that will be presented in this three-day 3rd International Virtual Conference on Interdisciplinary Research in Higher Education 2022 prove that despite the deterrents and complications brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic in the global research enterprise, research continues to adapt and innovate pushing the frontiers of research to greater heights. I congratulate the International Association of Scholarly Publishers, Editors and Reviewers, Inc. headed by its President Dr. Djuwari Sarkawi at the helm and its Executive Director, Miss Gayle Salalima, for gathering this spectrum of research outputs which are timely and relevant to the current times.

Thank you and please keep safe!

Nonverbal Communication and Cultural Features of Highest Grossing Movies among Asean Countries ED B. BAUTISTA

https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6725-5049 edbautista0807@gmail.com North Eastern Mindanao State University Philippines This paper analyzes the nonverbal communication and cultural features of the Highest-Grossing Movies among Selected ASEAN Countries. There are two approaches used in this study. First, it sought to identify the nonverbal communication features through semiotic analysis of the most important movie scenes, and second, it determined the cultural features of the movies through a readers-oriented approach. Through the analysis of the cultural features, ASEAN nations such as the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand share the same values such as the strong family ties. Also, the belief in the supernatural and superstition is evident in the stories. The non-verbal communication features analysis established that all of these movies portrayed different signs or symbols that can be traced and interpreted as part of their culture or norm. Thus, culture plays a significant element among the selected highestgrossing ASEAN films.

As suicide notes are considered severity markers of suicide acts, they often convince the survivors that the act committed, or about to commit, is justifiable. While numerous studies were conducted on suicide notes across research disciplines, most were meant for psychological and psychiatric interpretations. This research examined the distinctive features and functions of meta-categories in suicide notes written in the Philippines. As qualitative research, this study employed forensic discourse analysis as a method of analysis through Shapero’s (2011) metacategories framework. The notes were collected from the Philippine National Police and Philippine newspapers. The findings revealed that Filipino note-writers wrote their suicide notes with reasons for committing suicide, references to the happenings in the past, instructions of command or request to survivors, statements of who they are, memory or remembrances, and attempts for humour. No meta-categories were found for the note-writers’ methods of suicide, specifications on the location of suicide, and details about essential responsibilities. As far as meta-categories are concerned, the study concluded that the primary meta-categorical function of a suicide note in the Philippines is to provide reasons for suicide. The study recommends embarking on larger Filipino suicide corpora for a broader scope, analysis, and interpretation, characterizing meta-categories in terms of gender, and distinguishing the similarities and differences of meta-categories in suicide notes written by suicide-completers and attempters in the Philippines.

The Lived Experiences of Rido: The Meranao Case LOTH M. OROZCO

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0503-7633 lothorozcomap@gmail.com North Eastern Mindanao State University Cantilan, Surigao del Sur, Philippines “Rido” (clan feud) among Meranaos has been classified as one of the most recurring problems that hinder individual and social development. Parents and children vary in their experiences and the consequences they faced. This study aims to investigate the nature of rido and its causes; describe the impact of rido on parents and children in their mental health and physical health; and identify their coping mechanisms. The study is qualitativephenomenological research that employed key-informant interviews. Twenty respondents were selected through snowball sampling from rido high-risk municipalities in Lanao del Sur. Findings revealed that the most common cause of rido experienced by the respondents is politics. Political rivalry fueled by the social group’s concept of honor and maratabat (pride) aggravated the problem. Eventually, they suffered from grief, anxiety, and depression from traumatic turmoil and hiding. Children lost a sense of belongingness and interest from frequent changes of residence and school. Respondents’ families suffered from a common physical ailment which varies from mild to severe illness. Both parents and children are coping through pangni (prayers), but children are more likely to resort to retaliation. Trained psychosocial support that is culture-sensitive should be available to address the needs of the victims of rido particularly in especially in areas where it is mostly observed.

Advocating Martin Heidegger’s notion on Discourse as Social Change at Cebu Technological University Barili Campus, Philippines DANILO L. LIBRADILLA

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7862-9808 danilo.libradilla@ctu.edu.ph Cebu Technological University Barili Campus Philippines This paper aims to determine the connection of Martin Heidegger’s discourse by emphasizing the daily experience to promote social change. There are four major parts in this paper to wit: First, the concept of discourse which possibly leads to an understanding of Being-in-the–world. The concept of discourse emphasizes the relation to human experience. Second, the importance of language to our daily practice as human beings. Language is understood on how useful it is in resolving issues in the community. Third, the emphasis of communication and how it is interpreted from one person to another. Fourth, the importance of keeping silent. Keeping silent is another form of discourse.

This study utilized an expository technique as a method of research. Upon careful understanding from Heidegger’s notion of discourse, the actual experience of human existence is achieved by relating to the communicative action of Jurgen Habermas. Thus, the noble doctrine of Jurgen Habermas regarding the “communicative action theory,” which emphasizes the concept of discourse or dialogue achieve the prime purpose of human existence in this practical world.

Probing the Level of Teaching Anxiety of the Pre-Service Teachers ALAN P. TAGUIAM

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6907-5479 alanptaguiam@gmail.com Cagayan State University, Piat Campus Philippines The foremost step to teacher professional development is pre-service training. It is said that the initial taste and experience of teaching as a career happens in the pre-service training or in the teacher education. The study is basically a quantitative research utilizing the descriptive-correlational method. The descriptive component of the study was the determination of the profile of pre-service teachers and their level of teaching anxiety. Results of the study imply that moderate evaluation anxiety of the respondents implies that they have nervousness and worries about being observed, evaluated, and assessed by their supervising instructor and cooperating teacher while teaching. The moderate class control anxiety of the pre-service teachers relative to this dimension indicates that they experience average anxiety or feelings of inadequacy in managing and maintaining discipline in the classroom and dealing decisively with the students who misbehave.

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2942-7425 reesfernandez@gmail.com University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos Philippines The globalization of the shipping industry necessitates improving maritime students’ ability to operate under pressure.

This descriptive-comparative-correlational study aims to determine 239 marine students’ locus of control, personality temperaments, and stress-coping strategies. It examines correlations among the aforementioned variables, and differences in coping in terms of year level, family structure, religion, locus of control (LOC), and temperament. The findings indicate that there is a plenitude of externals and phlegmatics among maritime students. They used coping strategies moderately across all three coping categories, namely avoidance, emotion-oriented, and task-oriented approach, which is most preferred. Family structure, religion, and LOC do not affect their coping abilities. Choleric students coped better than sanguine and melancholic students; second-year students coped better than first-year students. Moreover, there is a link between temperament and coping, but not between temperament and LOC, nor between LOC and coping. As for externals, students tend to believe that circumstances or outcomes in school or elsewhere are influenced by external forces. As restrained and sensitive phlegmatics, suppressing feelings of stress leads to more susceptibility to physical and mental stress, requiring effective coping techniques. Thus, recognizing and understanding their locus of control and temperaments will help them cope with stress more successfully.

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1076-9417 jovievargasgarcia@gmail.com University of Negros Occidental-Recoletos, Philippines Core Values is essential in establishing the relationship within educational institutions. Also, they guide the conduct of school programs in achieving their institutional objectives. However, most students nowadays have unclear grasp of the schools’ core values due to complex responsibilities. Likewise, most are compromised by the secularistic and modernistic mindsets, which slowly depreciate their values. Not to mention the effect of the shift in instructional modality. Thus, this study determined the students’ awareness and practice of the core values of maka-Diyos, makatao, makakalikasan, and makabansa. Using the descriptive-comparative and correlational design, the study was assessed by 221 stratified randomly sampled students. The instruments used were validated and reliability tested researcher-made questionnaires. In data analyses, mean, standard deviation, Kruskal Wallis, and Spearman Rank Correlation were employed. Generally, the students’ awareness was rated very high while practice was rated very great extent. Further, there was a difference in their awareness when grouped according to sex, while there was no difference on religion and family structure. In practice, there was no difference when grouped according to all demographics. Lastly, there was a relationship between their awareness and practice. These imply the importance of establishing the students’ awareness for them to consistently demonstrate these core values.

User-centered Approach to Developing Mathematics Teaching Plans: Evaluation and Comparison of Outputs in a Performance Task Assessment during the COVID-19 Pandemic EDUARD M. ALBAY

http://orcid.org/0000-0001-6087-1340 ealbay@dmmmsu.edu.ph Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, La Union, Philippines Educators are increasingly challenged to attain better student learning outcomes by employing instructional methodologies that go beyond knowledge acquisition and foster constructivist learning. Operating on these concepts, this study was conducted utilizing the posttest-only true experimental research design to determine the effects of design thinking on the quality of teaching plans of pre-service teachers as an output of a performance task. It determined and compared the performances of the experimental and control groups in lesson planning using a rubric. As a result of the normality and statistical assumptions checking, the Welch t-test was used to report the findings on the differences in the performances of the respondents. Results show that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in all the indicators of evaluation. The study concluded that the design thinking process as applied to performance task assessment enabled the experimental group to develop professionally-designed teaching plans. Thus, educators are encouraged to widen the research-based literature on the multi-faceted applications of the design thinking process and performance task assessment at all levels of education across disciplines and their integration to various learning modalities for a more flexible, adaptive, and inclusive education during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic.

Vocatives of Ferdinand E. Marcos in Philippine Newspaper Articles: Forms, Structures, Positions, and Pragmatic Inferences RICHARD SAMBAJON AGBAYANI

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4480-0128 rsagbayani@mmsu.edu.ph Mariano Marcos State University Department of Languages and Literature City of Batac, Philippines Former Philippine President Ferdinand E. Marcos (FEM) became the country’s blistering issue because of his sudden interment at the heroes’ graveyard in 2016. Relative thereto, the Philippine newspapers execute an indispensable part in the ongoing discourse about him. Thus, this paper intends to provide details with regard to the forms, structures, positions and pragmatic implications of vocatives prevalently utilized by writers to address FEM in news articles of the three leading Philippine newspapers (Philippine Daily Inquirer, The Philippine Star, and Manila Bulletin). A descriptive-quantitative design was used and a total of 90 news article samples were collected and pragmatically analyzed. Results revealed that Filipino news article writers favored the use of single- word and phrase forms of vocatives. As regards the vocatives structures, one – word noun (N) structure, Adj. + N + N, Det + Adj. + N, and Det + N phrasal structures are predominant in the top three dailies. Also, medial is the most preferred vocative position, followed by initial then final position. Since vocatives have pragmatic implications, the employment of address forms (e.g. dictator, strongman, the author of Martial Law, and tyrant) to refer to FEM suggests negativity as these terms indicate inappropriateness in the context of use. Consequently, it can be inferred that while writers’ presentation of FEM in their articles exhibits fairness, there is a general lack of sensitivity and awareness regarding the suitable usage of some vocatives in Philippine culture.

Command and request which are often involved in daily conversations are used to ask someone to do something. In fact, many English learners find difficulties to use and understand them correctly. Consequently, the communication will not run smoothly and even create a misunderstanding. Therefore, this study analyzed the types of command and request found in a novel entitled “The Fault in Our Stars” written by John Green using a pragmatic approach.

This qualitative study analyzed the data collected from the novel and discussed the results and provided explanation descriptively. To analyze the data, this study used Yule’s Speech Acts Theory. The results showed 24 data in which 20 data were classified into commands and four data were classified into requests. All of the commands and requests uttered by the characters in the novel to ask someone to do something were classified into directive speech acts because they function to give commands or orders. Those directive speech acts occurred in three forms, namely declarative, imperative, and interrogative sentences. Fourteen data were categorized into direct speech acts because there is a direct relationship between the structure and the function. Conversely, ten indirect speech acts were found in this novel because the structure correlates with the function indirectly. In conclusion, to classify an utterance into direct or indirect speech act, an analysis of the correlation between the structure and the function should be conducted.

Growth of Trichoderma harzianum using Cost-effective Culture Media from Household Kitchen Waste RICKY B. ACANTO

http://orcid.orh/0000-0003-3508-6847 ricky.acanto@chmsc.edu.ph Carlos Hilado Memorial State College Talisay City, Negros Occidental Household kitchen wastes (HKW) are escalating due to the rapid growth of population and urbanization. To address the negative impact of throwing the HKW, the utilization and conversion of these wastes into possible valuable products potentially bioresourced for farmers is crucial. The study aimed to determine the growth of Trichoderma harzianum using discarded cassava, taro, sweet potato, and arrowroot peelings collected from households. The oven-dried wastes were extracted in vacuo to obtain the starch, used as the culture media, and compared with potato dextrose agar (PDA). The result showed that the formulated culture media had similar surface color characteristics in the colony with PDA. Variations in texture and hyphal thickness occurred among culture media: cassava peelings have slightly compact with concentric rings, and taro and sweet potato peelings have close with concentric rings. At the same time, arrowroot and PDA produced puffy and concentric rings. Thin hyphal thickness was observed in both PDA and arrowroot, while the three media have moderately thick to thick characteristics. The linear growth of different culture media formulated from HKW is comparable to PDA, used as the standard culture medium for T. harzianum. The result suggests that the different starch-based HKW can be used as an alternative culture media for the commercial production of T. harzianum, which can support the production yield of farmers.

The experiment was laid out in two factors using RCBD split-plot design seven treatments and three Sub-plot. Application FT6 significantly increased soil extractable P after harvest. Similarly, plant height, number of pods, number of seeds per pod, the weight of seeds, and tissue N were enhanced with combined fertilizer application. In contrast, the crude protein content in soybean was comparable among fertilizer treatments. The highest yield at 1.32 t ha-1 and net income were recorded in FT6, followed by CF100% and CM100%. The control and VC100% treatments on the other hand recorded a negative profit. Also, sulfur application significantly increased the yield and profit of soybean, with the highest productivity and profitability recorded at 30 kg S ha-1 application. Among all treatments evaluated, CF50% + CM50% had the most superior and leading effects on the growth, yield, and profitability of soybeans.

The Utilization of Seashells and Plastics as Partial Replacement for Cement and Sand in the Production of Concrete Bricks EDUARDO B. ABONG, JR.

https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2386-2773 edabong@nipsc.edu.ph Northern Iloilo Polytechnic State College Main Campus, Estancia, Iloilo, Philippines This experimental research described the utilization of discarded seashells and plastics as partial replacement for cement and sand in making concrete bricks in three replications. It aimed to determine the acceptability and significant difference between pulverized shells and shredded plastic in developing concrete bricks regarding water absorbency and compressive strength. The experimental method was employed to produce concrete bricks using recyclable materials. Based on the water absorbency test result, all specimens were on the acceptable standard, for they belonged to the specified maximum average of 15%. The highest percentage of Absorption mixture was the concrete bricks with pulverized shells and shredded plastic mixed with Philippine Horse Mussel Shells. Based on the UTM compressive strength test, all specimens did not meet the minimum required standard of 7 MPa of NSCP and 10 MPa of ASTM after the curing period of 28 days. The said result could be attributed to improvised materials or not standardized machines. Furthermore, no significant differences existed in concrete bricks’ water absorbency and compressive strength with pulverized shells and shredded plastics as a partial replacement for cement and sand. All treatments have similarities in terms of those two qualities.

A baseline study on the quality and safety of consumption of a pest species (S. melanotheron) in Bataan, Philippines: Basis for its productive utilization in the fisheries sector ADRIAN C. PERDIO

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1576-2361 adcperdio@bpsu.edu.ph Bataan Peninsula State University - Main Campus, Bataan, Philippines The baseline study profiled Black-chin Tilapia (S. melanotheron), a fish farm pest species in Bataan, Philippines, in terms of yield (processing and fillet), proximate composition (moisture, ash, crude fat, and crude protein), heavy metal load (cadmium [Cd], lead [Pb], arsenic [As], and mercury [Hg]), and microbial count (aerobic plate, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus counts). The purpose was to establish the species’ safety and quality for consumption and potential utilization in the processing of higher value fishery products. A completely randomized experiment using two factors, fish size (standard and small sizes) and collection season (dry and wet seasons), was employed. The collected data were also compared against food consumption and processing standards and/or previous reports on more valuable species. The results showed that the species has a comparable yield and mineral load with the more popular farmed Nile Tilapia (O. niloticus). It has high moisture and protein compositions. It is a lean fish that can serve as a cheaper functional raw material for processed fishery products. Moreover, the results showed that the species have no As, Cd, and Pb contamination, although traces of Hg, far below the permissible limits, were detected. The Hg load varies across collection season and fish maturity suggesting its manageability. For the microbial contents, the species’ aerobic plate, E. coli, and S. aureus counts were far below the standard limits, although best post-capture practices are still suggested due to the kind of microbial parameters measured. It was concluded that the S. melanotheron infesting Bataan farm ponds can be consumed safely and has the quality of potential raw material for processed fishery products. However, further information is still needed to establish the best post-capture handling of the species. Also, more studies must be done to determine the impact of storage and processing on its stability.

Determinants of Farmers’ Acceptability to Cultivate Moringa oleifera: The Case of Toytoyan, Dipaculao, Aurora, Philippines CHARLES R. VELASCO

https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0636-1782 charlesrvelasco@ascot.edu.ph Aurora State College of Technology Philippines The Moringa oleifera, commonly known as “malunggay” or “marunggay” in the Philippines, is a native tree considered a miracle plant due to its multipurpose uses, especially in medicine. However, despite its proven usage and adaptability to different climates, the species is still underutilized. This paper aims to provide evidence about the dominant perceptions and willingness to cultivate moringa, especially among those working in the agriculture sector. A descriptive research design was utilized for this study. Data gathered from farmers of Dipaculao, Aurora, using a self-made questionnaire were processed and analyzed using SPSS Version 23. This research found out that the majority of the farmers have positive perceptions and willingness to cultivate moringa. It was also found that the age, sex, farm size, years engaged in farming, and the number of household members have no relationship to their willingness to cultivate moringa. Furthermore, farmers considered knowledge and skills in moringa cultivation and management, capital needed for planting materials, and equipment and facilities for cultivation and processing as factors that might affect their decision in cultivating moringa. Therefore, this study recommends that the concerned agencies provide training and seminars, financial loans, machinery/tools, and farm inputs to the farmers.

Customizing Label_Image.py for Decision Tree-Based Classification for Crops EXCEL PHILIP B. GUIDANG

http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7080-8230 rieann12@gmail.com Abra State Institute of Sciences and Technology Lagangilang, Abra, Philippines Labels are key to an accurate image prediction. Correct labels do more than its purpose when combined with decision tree classifier. This study combines image classification with decision tree classification to reduce soil identification period and solidify soil analysis result identification and help farmers to identify the appropriate crop to grow on specific soil pH level. To determine the recommended pH levels for the major crops grown in Abra, Philippines, and to determine the logical sequence of label-image.py, the study used the University of West Florida guide on conducting and writing a literature review. To develop a decision-tree based classification system for crops, the study used the principle of splitting criteria. The idea is to partition the predictor space to such a degree that the standards of the reply variable are alike. Out of the 19 crops, 32% grows within 5.5-6.5 range like Taro, Palay, Eggplant, Melon, Rambutan and Yams, while 5% each thrive on 4.7-5.7 range, 6.5-7.5 range and 6.5-8.0 range like Sugarcane, Gourd, Beans respectively. Crops have different soil pH level requirements to grow. Predictions of label_image.py are sorted. Thus the predictions are easily understood. Tree-based classification can be easily set up with image classifier. It helps in determining the appropriate crop to be planted on a specific pH level.

An impact on the use of flipped classroom of teacher trainer of Teacher Trainers of English at National Institute of Education LAY NEARY

https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8329-5956 nearycutee@gmail.com National Institute of Education Phnom Penh, Cambodia Getting students involved in learning worried most teachers, as learners are mix levels of both cognition and attitude.

They get easily disconnected and struggle the most; especially slow learners who learn passively in class will not ask any questions. Flipping the class would allow them to work harder and better at their own pace. Doing so will enable the teacher to manage a class effectively during the teaching session. On the contrary, the result showed introducing new teaching skill via flipping the class was not motivated. Designing content takes much more time than direct the teaching method, where students practice and produce the knowledge learned and teacher can provide feedback immediately without waiting for the next meet up. Moreover, students got hard time to find a convenient place to be online in order to complete the assigned task. The assessment was not accurate, as students could copy each other’s work with a minor change to their profile. Last but not least, it was an extra expense to their living cost, as they were already financially poor. Flipping the class will not activate their learning, but tiring and careless.

Farmers’ Awareness of the Uses, Economic Potential, and Suitability of Moringa oleifera for Agroforestry in Casiguran, Aurora MARIA CRISTINA B. CAÑADA

http://orcid.org/:0000-0002-3354-8270 mariacristinacanada@ascot.edu.ph Aurora State College of Technology Philippines In Aurora province, moringa is a less preferred species for agroforestry that can offer economic benefits to upland farmers while helping resilient landscapes.

However, despite the availability of land for moringa plantation, this tree is only commonly planted as a fence and as a source of vegetables in particular households, less common as a source of income. This study, therefore, was conducted to obtain information on the awareness level of the farmers with regards to the uses, economic potential, and suitability of Moringa oleifera for agroforestry. The research used a mixed-method with triangulation for data validation. Respondents were obtained through snowball sampling and interviewed using a structured questionnaire with open-ended questions. Based on the result of the study, most of the respondents were between the age of 41-50 years old (29.2%), female (60%), secondary level graduates (27.7%), married (75.4%), self-employed (83.1%), cultivating a farm with land area 1 to 1.9 hectares (44.6%), and had less than ten years of farming experience (26.9%). The crops planted mainly were coconuts (36.9%), bananas (52.3%), and taro (26.1%), while fruit trees were mostly mango (35.4) and jackfruit (35.4%), while the most common forest tree planted was narra (15.4%). Only 6.15% of the respondents grew moringa on the farm, while 49.23% planted moringa in the backyard. In terms of awareness of the uses of moringa for human consumption, most of the respondents were moderately aware that a young pod can be utilized as the main ingredient in soup (4.02). However, some were not aware that the roots could be dried and grounded for use as a seasoning (1.66), seeds can be roasted and eaten like a peanut (1.62), and flowers can be fried in butter and eaten as a snack (1.71). In terms of medicinal value, most of the respondents were aware that leaves can be applied as a poultice to sores (3.43), and the bark extract can be placed in a tooth cavity as a pain killer (3.42). As for the nutritional value, most respondents were moderately aware that the leaves are a good source of vitamins A, B, and C (3.85). Most respondents were aware that the leaf powder could be capsulated and used as a food supplement (3.78). For the economical use of moringa, most respondents were slightly aware that organic moringa bags, at 4 grams per bag, can be sold at Php10.00 (2.26). For the suitability of moringa for agroforestry, most respondents were moderately aware that moringa is a highly nutritious food crop along with favorable characteristics like rapid growth and drought resistance (4.12). Statistically, at a 5 percent level of significance, results revealed a significant difference in the level of awareness of the use of moringa depending on the marital status of the respondents (.017*), economic potential (0.020*), and suitability of moringa (0.017*) with the age of the respondents. It is recommended that training and seminars be conducted to increase the farmers’ level of awareness on the uses, economic potential, and suitability of Moringa oleifera for agroforestry.

Implementation of Indigenous Peoples Education Program (IPEdP) in Lower Calanasan District BABY LYN A. LUMABAS

http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2808-5543 blumabas1773@gmail.com Cagayan State University Sta. Marial, Lal-lo, Cagaya, Philippines The implementation of the Indigenous Peoples Education Program (IPEdP) responds to addressing learners’ diversified nature and culture. The implementation of the IPEd Program is in support of the Mother Tongue Based and Multi-Lingual Education (MTB-MLE) Program of the DepEd, which aims to build a good foundation in such a way that it starts where the learners are and from what they already knew proceeding from the known to the unknown. The IPEd Program teachers are not properly trained and are incapable of addressing the special needs of these indigenous peoples. As a result, very few indigenous learners perform well in the education methods that do not consider the uniqueness of indigenous culture, disregarding the distinctive nature of indigenous learners’ cultural orientation, preservation of their cultural identity and the right to learn through the use of their own language. The researcher aware of the insufficiencies of the Indigenous Peoples Education Program investigated the level and quality of the present implementation for better learners’ achievement. The study aimed to assess the implementation of the Indigenous People Education (IPEd) Program and its relationship to the learners’ scholastic achievement at the District of Lower Calanasan, Division of Apayao, school year 2021-2022. The researcher conducted internet and library research. After downloading copies of related unpublished theses and dissertations, including research journals, he found out that the most appropriate design to be employed in this study is the descriptivecorrelational design. It is descriptive because it investigated the level and quality of the present implementation of the IPEd Program in the District of Calanasan, Division of Apayao, Philippines. On the other hand, the study employed correlational technique, as it investigated the relationship of the independent variables with the dependent variables. It also investigated a significant relationship between the respondents’ perceptions and best practices with their profiles and the learners’ scholastic achievement. The study found out that the level of implementation of the IPED Program particularly the indicators such as Pedagogy and Methodology; and Curriculum Content and Planning are both significantly related to the learners’ level of performance in their core subjects. In light of the finding of the study, the following conclusion have been drawn. That the level of Indigenous Education program of implementation is 4.07 with a descriptive value of Implemented. More so, the General Weighted Average of the learners is 85.62 which is Very Satisfactory. Furthermore, Pedagogy and Methodology and Curriculum and Content Planning is related to the learners’ performance in support to Vygotsky’s Social Cultural Theory.

Stress-Eating and Obesity amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic among Filipino Adults CHERRY ANN G. DURANTE

https://orcid.org/0000-0002-94331083 cherryann.durante@eac.edu.ph Emilio Aguinaldo College – Manila Philippines There exists a double-burden of malnutrition in the Philippines. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of overweight and obesity, making it a public health concern. The most recent Philippine National Nutrition Survey revealed that three out of ten Filipinos are overweight or obese. This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of obesity and presence of stress eating during the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. This study utilized a cross-sectional quantitative research design with data gathered through an online, adapted version of the Eating and Appraisal Due to Emotions and Stress (EADES) questionnaire.

Two hundred fifty-seven adults ages 21-62 from Binan, Laguna, participated in the study. Data collection was during the lockdown restriction implementation in the country from September to December 2020. Among the participants, 63.8% experienced weight gain during the pandemic; with 20% gaining 5-10 kilograms and 8% gaining more than 10 kilograms. Obesity prevalence was 30% among the participants, while underweight prevalence was 17.51%. Prevalence of stress eating was 86.77%, with low (41.25%), moderate (41.25%), and high (4.28%) levels. Furthermore, it was found that stress eating has a positive, moderately strong correlation with external stressors (r=0.35, p-value <0.001) and higher coping resources (r=0.42, p-value <0.001). Higher external stressors were also positively correlated with higher coping appraisal (r=0.3990, p-value <0.001). Based on the results of the study, 6 out of 10 experienced weight gain during the pandemic. The prevalence of stress eating was also very high during the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions. There was a significant relationship between stress eating and external stressors and coping skills. The higher the external stressors, the higher the stress eating. Also, the higher the stress eating level, the higher the coping skill utilized by the participants. Many participants (86.77%) used stress-eating as a coping resource during the COVID-19 pandemic, affecting the increase in BMI and obesity prevalence.
