Students' Lived Experiences on Blended Learning, Allied Health Sciences, University of Bohol, Tagbilaran City
type: item
description: The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the way schools operate in ways never seen before. Students and schools demonstrated they could adjust and keep going even when they faced financial difficulties, health hazards, and sudden changes in their everyday lives. The crisis is still ongoing, but it has also led to fresh ideas and long-lasting changes in how schools operate. As the number of infections changed, governments all over the world used different strategies to stop the virus from spreading. In the Philippines, maintaining access to quality education during lockdowns meant modifying rules and finding new ways to navigate the "new normal." The Department of Education (DepEd) set up various forms of distance learning, such as blended learning, to ensure learning could continue. DepEd describes this modality as a combination of face-to-face instruction and one or more methods, such as online learning, modular learning, and TV or radio-based instruction. This approach sought to reduce physical interaction, support social distancing, and help manage the movement of people outside their homes. Within this context, the present study explored the lived experiences of students enrolled in allied health programs at the University of Bohol during the implementation of blended learning in SY 2020–2021. The study also aimed to propose enhancement strategies that could strengthen the University’s adoption of blended learning moving forward. Using a qualitative design, data were gathered through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) guide that encouraged participants to share their insights through open-ended questions. As such, the responses were primarily descriptive and non-numerical. The research focused on students from four allied health courses-Midwifery, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Physical Therapy-to provide a rich, contextual understanding of how blended learning shaped their academic experiences during one of the most challenging periods in recent history.

Enhancing Students' Reading Competence Through Educational Games: A Case Study at Katipunan National High School, Carmen, Bohol
type: item
description: English reading proficiency is essential for various human activities; however, in 2018, the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) released that among the 79 participating countries, the Philippines scored the lowest in reading comprehension. This research on the use of educational games in teaching English for learners' reading competence aimed to develop an understanding of English reading texts that can promote better learning and enable learners to grow in various aspects, such as intellectual, physical, and social. To determine the effectiveness of educational games as a post-reading activity for learners' reading competence, pilot testing of the researcher-made questionnaire was conducted in one Grade 12 section. After the pilot test analysis, the study was conducted in which participants were tasked with reading the text first. Then the educational games were implemented as a post-reading activity. This study used an experimental research design with three Grade 11 sections: two sections as the experimental group and one as the control group. The Individual Games had 46 population, Group Games had 43, and the Control Group had 45. Before the study, the researcher asked for the consent of the participants and that their data will be used for research purposes only. The result of this study unveiled that the null hypothesis was rejected. Hence, it was found that both individual and group games effectively enhanced the learners' reading competence. Although there is a difference between the three groups, it was found that all of them had insignificant variance, which leads the researcher to conclude that in implementing Educational Games, one must be creative and innovative. This indicates that incorporating a Game-Based teaching strategy effectively enhances the reading competence of Grade 11 students.

Environmental Cost Accounting Practices on the Business Performance of the Hospitality Industry in Panglao, Bohol, Philippines
type: item
description: This research study aimed to determine the effect of environmental cost practices on the business performance of the hospitality industry in Panglao, Bohol, Philippines. Environmental cost accounting (ECA) practices were measured by the extent to which environmental cost items were identified, assessed, and allocated. Business performance was measured based on profit margin, return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE), public image, and customer loyalty. The descriptive-correlational method was utilized in this study. Questionnaires were used as the data collection instruments to measure the study variables. The survey questionnaire was divided into three major sections: respondents' profiles, environmental cost accounting practices, and entities' business performance. The results revealed that ECA practices significantly affect business performance. It was also concluded that company size and industry type significantly affect respondents' ECA practices. On the other hand, respondents' years of operation and industry rating have no significant effect on their ECA practices. An entity that addresses environmental costs can make better decisions, creating a positive image and reputation among investors and customers, ultimately leading to better business performance.

Qualitative Lens on Gender and Development Programs of DepEd-Dagohoy District, Bohol Division
type: item
description: This qualitative study investigated the implementation of the Gender and Development (GAD) Program in the DepEd-Dagohoy District of the Bohol Division. The evaluation utilized the OECD/DAC criteria, encompassing program relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and coherence. Data collection involved desk and document analysis of district and school GAD plans and related materials, as well as 16 key informant interviews with both high-level and direct implementers. The results demonstrate that the district's GAD objectives and activities generally correspond to beneficiaries' needs and foster increased teacher self-responsibility and engagement in gender-responsive programming. Key enabling factors included strong leadership from school principals, teacher cooperation, allocation of the 5% GAD budget within the school MOOE, and active involvement of district authorities in providing guidance and implementation. Resources were primarily allocated to capability-building initiatives, including teacher and learner training and seminars, in accordance with DepEd guidelines. Nevertheless, several persistent challenges were identified, such as inconsistent GAD awareness and understanding among personnel, limited monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, inadequate funding for all planned activities, weak collaboration with stakeholders and local government units (LGUs), scheduling conflicts arising from overlapping school programs, and substantial ancillary workloads that restrict participation. These findings inform targeted activities to strengthen district-level GAD systems and improve implementation effectiveness.

Self-Esteem and Adversity Quotient Among Senior High School Learners, Clarin District, Bohol
type: item
description: Self-esteem reflects an individual’s sense of self-worth, while the Adversity Quotient (AQ) describes the capacity to cope with and overcome challenges. This study examined the levels of self-esteem and Adversity Quotient among Grade 12 senior high school students in the Clarin District, Bohol, during the School Year 2021–2022, and explored the relationship between these two constructs. A descriptive–correlational survey design was employed involving 170 Grade 12 students drawn from three public secondary schools: Clarin National School of Fisheries, Nahawan National High School, and Danahaw Integrated School. Data were collected using the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) and the AQ Profile. Findings revealed that the majority of respondents reported low levels of self-esteem and below-average Adversity Quotient. Statistical analysis further showed a significant association between learners’ self-esteem and their Adversity Quotient, indicating that students with higher self-esteem tend to demonstrate stronger capacity to manage adversity. The results highlight the importance of supportive school environments in strengthening learners’ confidence and resilience. Schools and teachers play a vital role in fostering psychosocial resources that enable students to cope effectively with academic and personal challenges.

Utilization of Interactive PowerPoint Presentations at Katipunan National High School, Carmen 3 District, Bohol
type: item
description: Integrating technology into classroom instruction can boost student engagement and improve learning outcomes. This study looked at how interactive PowerPoint presentations affected the performance of Grade 7 students in Araling Panlipunan and explored the challenges teachers faced. Conducted at Katipunan National High School in Bohol, the research used a mixed-methods approach: a quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test and teacher interviews. Two experimental groups used interactive PowerPoint, while two control groups used traditional versions. The results showed that students taught with interactive PowerPoint had a mean post-test score of 77.92, compared to 66.03 for those in the control group taught with traditional PowerPoint. Of the students in the experimental group, 64.4% scored at or above the satisfactory performance level, indicating a majority performed well on the post-test. Thematic analysis revealed challenges, including limited technical skills, lack of formal training, time constraints, outdated technology, and difficulties aligning teaching materials with the curriculum. The findings show that interactive PowerPoint is effective for improving student performance in social studies when teachers have sufficient support and resources. A school-based program should enhance teacher skills and facilitate the use of curriculum-aligned materials. This research provides evidence for technology integration and underlines the role of interactive media in education.

Sustainable Business Practices of Tagbilaran City's Street Food Vendors Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic
type: item
description: The diverse cultural influences of the Philippines have enriched its street food industry, which has been a source of income for those working in this informal sector and an opportunity for food startups. Street food vending provides ready-to-eat food to a large cross-section of local people, but the late 2019 pandemic directly affected this industry. This situation prompted the researcher to study the sustainable business practices adopted by the Tagbilaran City Street Food Vendors to address challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study utilized the Descriptive Research Survey Method, in which data were collected and analyzed through in-depth interviews and survey questionnaires with 60 street food vendors in Tagbilaran City. The health protocols prescribed for the COVID-19 pandemic response were followed in the conduct of the surveys and interviews. Based on the primary data, most vendors are male, married, and over 30 years old, with more than 5 years of experience in street vending. Many of the problems respondents face include increased debt, adjustment to new health standards, and constant fatigue from spending long hours in the sun. In conclusion, it was found that, from a sustainability perspective, street food vendors are humanly, socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable. To bridge the gap, the researcher proposes a training design that would address their needs and present it to the appropriate sectors to legitimize the business and align it with government standards, making it more economically sustainable.

Speaking Proficiency and Lexical Competence Among Senior High School Students, Loon Districts, Loon, Bohol
type: item
description: This study examined the speaking ability and lexical competence of senior high school students in Bohol's Loon North and South Districts during the 2022-2023 school year. Although the research offered valuable insights, focusing solely on these districts may limit the extent to which the results apply. Researchers used a quantitative correlational method and randomly selected 277 students from 985 enrolled in public secondary schools. Data was collected using two tools: a Speaking Proficiency assessment that measured content, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and fluency, and a researcher-made lexical competency test focused on collocations and word associations. The study followed ethical standards, including informed consent, confidentiality, and proper data management. The results showed that students had low levels of speaking ability and lexical competence, highlighting the need for more language development activities in schools. Most respondents were female and enrolled in the Academic Track, mainly in the General Academic Strand. Students generally struggled with speaking skills and lexical competence, especially with collocations and word associations. Speaking proficiency was linked to sex, grade level, track, and strand, but lexical competence was not. There were apparent differences in speaking proficiency and lexical competence by gender, grade level (Grade 11 or 12), and track (Academic or Technical-Vocational-Livelihood). The analysis also found notable differences in these skills among the various senior high school strands.

Reading Motivation and Comprehension Among Senior High School Students in Getafe, Bohol
type: item
description: Reading comprehension plays a key role in academic success and is shaped by teaching methods and students' motivation. This study examined the relationship between reading motivation and comprehension among 288 Senior High School students in Getafe Districts I and II, Bohol, during the 2022–2023 school year. The researchers used a descriptive correlational approach, collecting data with Wigfield and Guthrie’s reading motivation questionnaire and a 60-question test that measured literal, inferential, and critical reading skills. The results showed that students had a moderate level of reading motivation, driven mainly by external rewards, while their personal interest in reading was low. Many relied on grades to keep them motivated. Most students reported frustration with their reading comprehension, indicating ongoing literacy challenges. The study found a moderate, positive, and significant link between reading motivation and comprehension (rho = .568, p < .01), indicating that higher motivation is associated with better understanding. Of all the student characteristics studied, only sex showed a significant difference. Female students were more motivated and had better comprehension than male students. Year level, track, or strand had a weak relationship with reading results. These findings suggest that sparking students’ interest in reading and offering structured comprehension training can help improve their reading skills. Programs that focus on students’ interests and needs may boost engagement, improve understanding, and support long-term reading growth.

Mental Health and Academic Performance Among LGBTQ College Students in the Province of Bohol
type: item
description: This study looks at how mental health relates to academic performance among LGBTQ college students in Bohol, Philippines. Researchers used both a self-made and a standardized questionnaire to gather data. The results show that LGBTQ college students in Bohol generally have good mental health. Of the three areas measured, emotional well-being scored the highest, followed by psychological well-being, while social well-being was rated lowest. This positive mental health suggests that LGBTQ students in Bohol have strengths and coping skills. Academically, these students performed very well, as shown by their General Weighted Average (GWA) for the first semester of the 2022-2023 school year. The study found a significant link between mental health and academic performance for these students. This means that even with possible social challenges, LGBTQ students in Bohol can do well in school. The findings show that LGBTQ college students in Bohol have good mental health and strong academic performance, but also point to the need for targeted support to improve their well-being and academic success further.

Ancillary Services in Relation to Teaching Efficiency among Public School Teachers in Candijay District, Bohol
type: item
description: Ancillary services are additional tasks performed by teachers to support the instructional framework and school operations. Teaching efficiency refers to the ability of the teacher to achieve desired learning outcomes while making the best use of available resources and time. The study aimed to assess the teachers’ extent of ancillary services about teaching efficiency among public elementary school teachers of Candijay District, Bohol, using descriptive and correlational quantitative designs to gather data from a complete enumeration of 162 public elementary school teachers in the said district. The chi-square test, Pearson product-moment correlation, and ANOVA were used in formulating the hypothesis. The study found that the extent of perceived ancillary services among elementary teachers in Candijay District was moderately evident, and their teaching efficiency was highly efficient. Age, sex, civil status, position, and years of experience did not significantly affect the extent of ancillary services, except for the highest educational attainment. Similarly, the teacher’s profile did not significantly affect teaching efficiency, However, there was a significant correlation between the extent of ancillary services and teaching efficiency. The study also identified significant variations among the six dimensions of teachers’ extent of ancillary services and the seven dimensions of teaching efficiency. These results could be useful for creating policies and programs to enhance the quality of education in Candijay District, Bohol.

type: item
description: This study delves into the relationship between social support and self-management behaviors among diabetic individuals in Poblacion II, Tagbilaran City, Bohol. Employing a descriptive correlational survey design and a stratified sampling method, 48 respondents were selected, revealing that a majority were middle to older adults, married, and residing below the official poverty threshold. Hypertension emerged as the predominant comorbidity, affecting 75% of respondents. Examining social support dimensions, the study found a moderate level across most aspects, except for smoking, which displayed lower support. Remarkably, the overall self-management level among respondents was very good. Significant relationships were identified between social support and self-management practices, particularly concerning Alcoholism/Drug Addiction, Obesity, and Stroke. The study rejects the null hypothesis, establishing a significant correlation (p-value – 0.001) between social support and diabetes self-management practices. Recommendations include tailored assessments considering comorbidities, emphasizing newly adopted practices, and implementing targeted programs like teleconsultations and a "buddy system" for specific demographics. This research contributes valuable insights for healthcare professionals and policymakers, urging a holistic approach to diabetes management that integrates social support dynamics.

Citizen Service Quality Standard: Its Levels of Implementation and Satisfaction as Perceived by Clients, Deped-Tagbilaran City
type: item
description: Service Quality Standards (SQSs) mean the level of management and organization service unit requirements. The study investigated the Department of Education (DepEd) Tagbilaran City Division frontline services. The study is descriptive-comparative in gathering data through modified tools to measure the levels of implementation, satisfaction, and problems encountered by internal and external DepEd stakeholders in its service transactions. With the overall number of 956, a sample size of 536 was randomly selected (2.81% margin of error at 95% confidence interval). It used Spearman Rank Chi-Square, Mann Whitney Test, and Kruskal Wallis. The Chi-Square test results revealed that an association exists between the position of respondents (X2 (14) =24.396, p<0.05) and the classification of respondents (X2 (2) = 10.568, p<0.05) with their level of satisfaction. The Spearman Rank test showed a significant positive correlation between implementation and satisfaction (rs (534) =0.657, p<0.05). The Mann-Whitney test results revealed that internal stakeholders (Mdn = 3.25) have higher satisfaction as compared to external stakeholders (Mdn = 3.00), U (267,269) = 31380.500, z = -2.532, p<0.05.

Students’ Level of Stress in Relation to the Academic Performance of Tagbilaran City College
type: item
description: The main thrust of this study was to determine the level of stress in relation to the academic performance of Tagbilaran City College. The study utilized quantitative research. The level of stress of the respondents was determined using a modified standardized questionnaire adopted from Cohen & Mermeistein (1983). Percentages, Weighted Mean, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Chi-Square Test, ANOVA, Spearman Rank Correlation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient were used to analyze the data collected. Results showed that the majority of the students were in the age range of 20 – 24 and female. Most of them took the BS Office Administration program, were full-time students and the majority of the respondents were second-year-level. It was revealed that students’ academic performance was interpreted as Very Good in terms of General Education and major subjects. There was an insignificant relationship between Age, Sex, and Course to Level of Stress, but year level was significant to the level of stress. Also, there was an insignificant relationship between Age, Sex, and year level to their Academic Performance, but the course was significant to academic performance. There was no significant relationship between the Level of Stress and academic performance and the study found a significant relationship between the ratings of the General Education subjects and major subjects. Thus, the ratings of the General Education subject can be associated with the major subjects. There is no significant variance between the Level of Stress and the course taken by the students. In addition, there was no significant correlation between the level of stress and sex, which means male and female students have the same level of stress. Moreover, a significant difference between the level of stress and the year level of the students. Second-year students overpowered the First-year students in relation to their level of stress.

type: item
description: This study aims to investigate the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the nursing students at the University of Bohol. The researchers utilized the descriptive correlational quantitative research design aided by a modified questionnaire. The tool was pilot-tested and underwent Cronbach’s Alpha test with a reliable result. It was distributed to the two hundred (200) randomly selected nursing students of the University of Bohol, College of Nursing, who were enrolled in the academic year 20202021, during which the e-learning educational platform was implemented. The gathered data was subjected to Spearman Rho’s and Chi-square tests to determine the relationship between the respondents’ profiles and the level of effect on the pandemic crisis. Results revealed that the respondents were “Moderately Affected,”, especially in their mental and emotional status. Most of the respondents who were more affected during this pandemic crisis are young adults who are adjusting to the challenges of implementing new educational platforms as they experienced slow connectivity that affected their academic performance. The mobilization of the school’s student services and guidance services is one way of helping the students become adaptive to the challenges they face.
