Does training improve the action research skills of STEM teachers? Examining the mediating roles of attitude and knowledge
Professional development programs are essential for supporting STEM teachers in improving their teaching practices by creating engaging and effective learning experiences for students. One of the professional development programs referred to is their participation in action research training. However, while there is a growing number professional development program relating to it, there is no substantial amount of reports regarding its impact tow…
Advancing science education through a participatory action research guide for science teachers
Strengthening STEM education through a professional development program on enhancing teachers' TPACK in selected calculus topics
One means to strengthen STEM education is providing appropriate and timely professional development programs among teachers. Hence, this study aimed to develop, implement, and evaluate a professional development (PD) program using training as the PD model on enhancing senior high school mathematics teachers' technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge (TPACK) on selected Calculus topics, namely, derivatives, integration, and their applicati…
Modeling the influence of AI dependence to research productivity among STEM undergraduate students
STEM fields—Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics—play crucial roles in advancing knowledge, driving innovation, and addressing challenges by means of several mechanisms including research. Consequently, STEM curricula in higher education institutions prepare undergraduate students taking these fields to engage and produce quality research outputs in preparation for their future careers or roles. The advent of several educational reso…
Strengthening science education in basic education through a professional development program on participatory action research for science teachers
Science education empowers individuals with critical thinking and problem-solving skills as well as creativity which drive sustainable development, social progress, and economic growth. Unfortunately, the basic education science curriculum does not seem to prepare students to become scientifically literate for a number of reasons. Toward this vein, this calls for science teachers to be creative being at the forefront of implementing science educa…
Do social cognitive factors influence final-year undergraduate students’ intentions to pursue advanced degrees? An examination of the moderating effect of sex
This study explores the factors influencing final-year undergraduate students’ intentions to pursue advanced degrees through the lens of social cognitive theory (SCT). In addition, it investigates the moderating effect of sex on the causal pathways in the proposed model. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey design, 578 final-year undergraduate students from various degree programs participated in an online survey. The results revealed that…
Assessing Problems and Prospects of Urban Agriculture in Cebu City, Philippines
Background and Purpose: Urban agriculture (UA) has become an even more attractive option for food security and safety brought by the spread of COVID-19 which causes global health crisis. However, studies examining the perceived values, challenges, and needs towards urban agriculture are very limited and this does not exempt even the context of Cebu City in the Philippines. In this regard, this study aimed to assess the problems and prospects conc…
Examining Competence in Action Research of Basic Education Teachers in Cebu City, Philippines
Background and Purpose: This study examined the self-perceived competence in action research components of basic education teachers in Cebu City as one form of identifying their challenges in doing AR. The results aimed to provide baseline information for the planned professional development program. Methodology: It employed a sequential explanatory design (QUAN→qual). It is characterized by collecting and analyzing quantitative data in the prima…
