Sexual and Non-Sexual Risk-Taking Behaviors Among Youth in Tagbilaran City
type: item
description: Youth is a period when individuals engage in exploratory behaviors as part of their self-discovery. During this phase, individuals may wind up doing non-sexual risk-taking behaviors such as smoking, drinking, drug use, suicidal ideation, and sexual risk-taking behaviors like premarital sex, unprotected sex, and multiple sex partners. These behaviors can be detrimental to the overall well-being of individuals. A single case of risk-taking behavior is already an alarming issue since it can cause harm to one's life. This study was conducted to identify the relationship among risk-taking behaviors such as smoking and drinking, drinking and drug use, suicidal ideation and smoking, and sexual and non-sexual risk-taking behaviors. The study utilized a quantitative-correlational method using a standardized questionnaire. Three hundred ninety-eight participants from the different barangays in Tagbilaran City aged 19 to 29 years old were included in the study through random sampling, ensuring that each of the fifteen barangays in Tagbilaran City was well-represented. Data revealed a significant correlation between smoking and drinking, suicidal ideation and smoking, and sexual and non-sexual risk-taking behavior. The interplay of the risky behaviors that the youth engage in is concerning since it may cause problems later in life. Parents, educational institutions, and the local government units play a significant role in mitigating these behaviors.

Proposed Enhancement Program for Creditors and Borrowers Based on Risk Management Insights in Client Appraisal
type: item
description: Microfinancing institutions play a vital role in supporting community borrowers by providing short-term loans to address gaps in funding for household expenses, education, entrepreneurial initiatives, and other essential expenditures when primary income sources are insufficient. This study examines credit appraisal practices as a risk management strategy among microfinance institutions operating within the adopted communities of the College of Business and Accountancy, Teachers College, and the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Bohol. This study employed a mixed-methods methodology and collected data from 71 participant-borrowers by administering surveys and conducting in-depth interviews. The creditors agree to the practice of credit appraisal to check the borrower's capacity to pay, mainly as part of credit risk management. Similarly, credit appraisal is a generally accepted practice among community borrowers where past payment behavior and means to pay are factors. The results showed no significant difference between the parties involved in providing short-term credit to community borrowers, typically agreeing with the conduct of credit appraisal as required by the MFIs. This study suggests a program to strengthen borrowers' financial literacy through seminars to better credit handling behaviors and implement flexible payment terms with the MFIs, incorporating income cycles with the leveraging of technology to monitor credit in real-time. The creation of cooperatives and collective savings clubs are future opportunities to enhance community resilience and accountability.

Credit Risk Management and Practices of Creditors and Borrowers in Collection Policy: A Comparative Analysis
type: item
description: The study examines the global economic challenges in 2024 and focuses on the recovery of the Philippine economy, stressing the importance of credit risk management and practices in communities supported by the University of Bohol. It shows that microfinance institutions (MFIs) can help improve financial health by offering better credit management and practices in collection policy, especially for borrowers with limited financial knowledge and inconsistent incomes. The results show that both borrowers and creditors are satisfied with the collection policies, but improvements are needed in payment options, debt recovery, and financial education. It is recommended to simplify payment processes, improve collections, offer ongoing training, and gather feedback to align policies. These changes will help strengthen credit risk management and practices to improve the community’s financial stability.

Financial Literacy and Financial Management Practices Among Teachers and Parents in Adopted Communities Of University of Bohol
type: item
description: This study aimed to determine the relationship between financial literacy and financial management practices among teachers and parents in the adopted communities of the University of Bohol. Specifically, it sought to determine their knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors toward financial matters and their application of sound financial principles. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing mixed-method research. The study was conducted in Bayacabac Elementary School in Maribojoc, Bohol; Lourdes Elementary School, Cortes, Bohol; and Songculan Elementary School, Dauis, Bohol. The population consisted of 429 parents, and 39 teachers’ participants were selected using random sampling. Ethical considerations, such as informed consent and confidentiality, were strictly adhered to throughout the research process. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, such as frequency counts, percentages, and means. The findings revealed that the respondents had a significant degree of difference in financial literacy. However, their financial management practices were found to be insignificant. The study concluded that there is a need to enhance the financial literacy of teachers and parents in the adopted communities.

Credit Risk Management and Practices of Adopted Communities Of The University Of Bohol
type: item
description: Credit risk management is the process that microfinance institutions (MFIs) use to manage the risks of borrowers defaulting on their loans. Credit risk practices are the day-to-day actions and procedures that help the MFIs bring these strategies to life. The study assessed credit risk management and practices among creditors and borrowers in the University of Bohol's adopted communities with the aim of offering an enhancement program. It examined the demographic profiles of borrowers and their level of credit risk management. Moreover, it investigated the correlation between these profiles and their credit risk practices. The study utilized a quantitative approach. It used descriptive-normative survey to collect data through a standardized questionnaire. Stratified random sampling was applied to select borrower participants from three adopted communities. A total of 71 borrowers, representing about 20% of the borrowers were randomly chosen. The study revealed that younger and middle-aged individuals, especially women and small business owners, are the main borrowers in microfinance institutions. Additionally, borrowers widely supported credit risk management and practices, with an overall mean of 3.28 and 3.37, respectively. Lastly, the spearman rank correlation test showed that there is no significant correlation between borrowers’ demographic profiles and their level of credit risk management and practices. The lack of significant correlations between demographic profile and borrowers' level of credit risk management and practices indicates that these practices are well understood by borrowers across different borrower groups.

Exploring The Financial Journeys Among Parents and Teachers in University of Bohol Adopted Communities
type: item
description: Financial literacy and management profoundly impact individuals' economic prosperity and general welfare. However, the personal experience underlying financial literacy and management practices has been inadequately investigated, especially among parents and teachers in community environments. This qualitative study, Exploring the Financial Journeys Among Parents and Teachers in University of Bohol Adopted Communities, investigates the role of financial literacy and financial management practices in shaping the lives of teachers and parents within these communities. This study explores how individuals perceive the significance of financial literacy, techniques to boost their monetary knowledge, and the impediment to economic security, particularly for parents juggling several dependents with restricted budgets and teachers balancing private finances with professional duties. This study identifies key strategies participants use to increase their financial literacy through targeted group conversations, including joining savings organizations and looking for additional income. There are still issues, though, such as low income, dependency on loans, and restricted or limited access to financial education. The study also reveals how institutions like the University of Bohol can make a substantial contribution to the development of financial literacy by designing programs, seminars, or training that are specifically targeted to fulfill the needs of the community, offering a supportive financial ecosystem, encouraging community-based financial efforts, and offering easily accessible, valuable programs are some suggestions for advancing financial literacy.

Influence Of Parenting Styles on Risk-Taking BehaviorsOf Youth in Tagbilaran City
type: item
description: Youth is a critical transitional phase from childhood to adulthood, characterized by distinct physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development, where the influence of parenting styles plays a crucial role in shaping adolescents' risk-taking behaviors and overall health outcomes. This study aimed to determine the influence of parenting styles on the risk-taking behaviors of youth in Tagbilaran City. The researchers used the quantitative-descriptive research method using the standardized questionnaire authored by Dr. Leah Wilfreda E. Pilongo. It was conducted across 15 barangays in Tagbilaran City, targeting a youth population of 19,151, with a sample size of 389 respondents, to ensure a broad analysis of the factors influencing their development. The researchers conducted the study following the "do no harm principle." The data were subjected to Pearson Chi-Square Tests to analyze the specified variables. The analysis of the data on parenting styles on sexual risk-taking behaviors of youths in Tagbilaran City indicates that permissive parenting styles—both from mothers and fathers—are associated with higher levels of sexual risk-taking behaviors among youths. In contrast, supportive and affectionate parenting styles do not consistently correlate with these behaviors. Trust appears to have a distinctive influence, especially regarding unprotected sex. These results underscore the intricacies of parental influence on youth behavior and suggest that different dimensions of parenting styles can have varying impacts on youth's decisions related to sexual health.

Reading Proficiency Level and Syntactical Skills Among Junior High School Students Talibon II District, Bohol
type: item
description: This study examines the reading proficiency levels and syntactical skills of Grade 9 pupils in Bohol's Talibon II District. A correlational research design was used, with a quantitative technique, to collect data from 295 students through structured questionnaires targeted at testing their abilities in word recognition, reading comprehension, word order, and sentence combination. Pearson Chi-square tests and Spearman Rank Correlation were used to assess the correlations between reading proficiency and syntactical abilities. The statistics show that while students performed adequately in word order, their skill in sentence combination was much lower. The study found no significant relationship between reading competency and syntactical skills, refuting the widely held idea that reading proficiency predicts syntactical ability. A significant correlation was discovered between word identification and reading comprehension, emphasizing the critical importance of vocabulary knowledge in boosting overall reading comprehension. The study shows that targeted therapies are required to improve both syntactical abilities and reading competency in children. Educators and school administrators are encouraged to implement particular training programs aimed at developing these key skills. By adhering to these principles, instructors can help students improve their academic performance and reading skills.

type: item
description: Teacher attrition and migration are common occurrences in educational institutions worldwide. Many people will move jobs within their chosen profession or even leave that profession entirely during their professional lives. When teachers move between schools, it is called migration, and when they leave the teaching profession, the term is attrition. The main thrust of the study is to explore the reasons for teacher attrition and migration among the Bohol Association of Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Tagbilaran as they attrit to other organizations or migrated from teaching in private to public school institutions. The study employed a qualitative approach and the five OECD evaluation criteria to gather data to solve the research topics. The study was conducted in the selected member schools of the Bohol Association of Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Tagbilaran. The study identified the informants' schools where the teacher-respondents previously taught and likewise identified the public schools and other organizations where the teachers attrit and migrated. The teacher-informants themed their reasons for attrition and migration into three, and these are personal motive, financial motive, and future motive. The majority of the five teacher-informants interviewed regarding the reasons for their attrition cited personal motives as the primary cause while four teacher-informants agreed that the financial motive is the main reason they migrated to public school. In terms of relevance, they all feel the relevance of the programs, policies, and benefits from their current past and current organizations.

type: item
description: This study focuses on the effect of digital advertising of real estate firms on consumers' buying decisions. Two hundred potential residential real estate buyers in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, were randomly chosen using the Cochran sampling method. To gather the needed data, the researchers used a quantitative survey method, in which they distributed the modified survey questionnaires to the respondents in the said area. The method is appropriate to determine the Effect of Digital Advertising of Real Estate Firms on Consumers' Buying Decision in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.

While other demographic characteristics do not significantly alter the effectiveness of digital advertising, the source of income does, indicating the need for targeted strategies based on financial stability and income sources. The researchers recommend that real estate firms continue investing in digital advertising, leveraging multiple channels, and tailoring messages to maximize impact while considering the diversity in income sources of potential buyers when designing and targeting their digital marketing campaigns

Experiences of Physically-Challenged Students Toward Physical Education Activities
type: item
description: The experiences of physically-challenged students within physical education activities settings have been a topic of increasing attention and concern. Physically-challenged learners (PCLs) need physical activities, yet there are increasing worries that these students still struggle with practical sessions. These barriers not only limit physical participation but also contribute to a cycle of exclusion and negatively impact the social and emotional well-being of students with disabilities. Addressing these environmental and systemic issues is crucial for fostering a more inclusive and supportive physical education framework that enhances self-esteem and promotes equal opportunities for all students. This study was conducted to explore the lived experiences of the physically-challenged students toward Physical Education activities. The study utilized the descriptive phenomenological inquiry aided by a semi-structured interview. Eight enrolled university students during the first semester of SY 2024-2025 were randomly selected and included in the study upon obtaining their consent for participation. Data revealed that the challenges faced by physically-challenged students included difficulties in participation and social interactions that led to feelings of exclusion and frustration highlighting the need for more inclusive practices within the physical education programs.

Association Between Religious Index and Risky Non-Sexual Behaviors Among Adolescents Of The University of Bohol
type: item
description: This study examines the link between religious index and risky non-sexual behaviors among adolescents at the University of Bohol in the Philippines. Data were gathered using a quantitative correlational research approach, with modified questionnaires measuring demographic information, religious practices, and risky non-sexual behaviors such as smoking, drinking, and substance misuse. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to investigate the correlation between the Religious Practice Index and risky non-sexual behaviors in a sample of 378 respondents. The study found a significant inverse correlation between religious practice and both smoking and alcohol intake, implying that higher religiosity is connected with healthier lifestyle choices. Notably, no significant association was identified between religious practice and drug use, implying that religiosity's protective benefits may differ depending on behavior. Furthermore, the effect of living arrangements on teenage risky behaviors was highlighted, with those who lived with their parents having lower rates of substance abuse. These findings highlight the relevance of promoting religious engagement as a potential protective factor in reducing risky non-sexual behaviors among adolescents.

Investigating The Impact of Intelligence Quotient on English Achievement Andapsa Results Among Learners
type: item
description: Intelligence Quotient is a measure of a mental/functional age over the chronological period. IQ can be used to predict the academic success of the students in school but never in their life as a whole (Orloff, 2008). This study investigated the relationship of the learners' IQ to their achievement level in English and APSA results. Ninety-one intermediate learners from the University of Bohol Victoriano D. Tirol Advanced Learning Center in the academic year 2018 – 2019, were included in the study by random selection. It utilized the quantitative research method and employed documentary analysis of the student's existing records. The statistical treatments used were: frequency, percentage, rank, mean, Pearson Product-Moment Coefficient of Correlation, and T-test. The results revealed that the IQ test results and the achievement level in English, IQ test and APSA results in English, achievement level and APSA results in English significantly correlated. Students who performed better on the IQ test had higher achievement levels in English; students with higher achievement levels in English also got higher APSA ratings; and students with higher IQ test results performed better in the APSA. However, it was found out that there is a need to improve the performances of the intermediate learners in terms of their IQ, achievement level, and APSA results in English to a higher level.

Students’ Satisfaction on Online Mathematics Learning and Academic Performance of College Students
type: item
description: This study investigated the relationship between student satisfaction with online mathematics learning and their academic performance at the University of Bohol's Teachers College Department during the 2020-2021 academic year. Satisfaction with online mathematics learning was measured by student perceptions of their experience in the online environment. Academic performance was assessed using final grades in mathematics courses. A quantitative, correlational research design was employed and the target population consisted of 431 students enrolled in mathematics courses within the department. A sample of 65 students was randomly selected, based on a 95% confidence interval and a 5% margin of error. A researcher-developed questionnaire, demonstrating acceptable reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of .827 in a pilot test of ten students, was used to collect data on student satisfaction. Ethical considerations were prioritized, with informed consent obtained from all participants and strict adherence to privacy and anonymity protocols, ensuring a "do no harm" approach. Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient was used to analyze the data. The findings indicated no statistically significant correlation between student satisfaction with online mathematics learning and their academic performance. This suggests that, within the context of this study, satisfaction with the online learning environment did not appear to be related to students' final grades in mathematics

Modular Distance Learning In Relation To Learners’ Performance In Enscima, Calape District, Bohol
type: item
description: This study investigates the implementation of Modular Distance Learning (MDL) and its impact on learners' performance in English, Science, and Mathematics (ENSCIMA) in public elementary schools in Calape District, Bohol, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study assesses the quality of Self-Learning Modules (SLMs) and the perceptions of teachers and parents regarding MDL. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to Grade 6 teachers and parents, with statistical analyses including means, correlation coefficients, and non-parametric tests. Findings reveal a high level of implementation of module distribution, with a composite mean of 3.4485, indicating effective access to learning materials. Teacher evaluations rated the quality of SLM content as "Very Good," yet areas for improvement were identified, particularly in developmental appropriateness and clarity. Notably, a significant correlation exists between the quality of SLMs and their usability. However, the average performance of Grade 6 learners in ENSCIMA subjects did not meet expectations, highlighting the need for enhanced instructional strategies. The study underscores the importance of continuous improvement in educational resources and collaborative efforts between educators and parents to optimize student learning outcomes in the context of MDL. Recommendations for future research and practice are provided to support effective educational interventions.

Challenges Encountered in Blended Learning in Relation to Oral Communication Skills Among Bsed- English Students
type: item
description: This study shows the relationship between the challenges encountered in blended learning in the key aspects of interaction and motivation, learning materials, and the quality of English communication instruction in relation to oral communication skills such as extemporaneous speaking, storytelling, and oral picture description. The study's primary purpose is to demonstrate how challenges encountered in blended learning affect English communication proficiency. Forty-two respondents officially enrolled in the Bachelor of Secondary Education major in English for the school year 2020-21 at the University of Bohol-Teachers College were randomly sampled with a +/-5% margin error at a 95% interval using a quantitative-correlational modified survey questionnaire. The survey tool underwent face validity using Cronbach's Alpha and pretested to ten respondents who were given thirty minutes to answer. Furthermore, findings revealed no significant relationship between the challenges encountered by the respondents and their oral communication proficiency. Thus, challenges encountered in blended learning did not affect the teaching and learning of oral communication in English. Finally, this recommends that academic administrators and teachers carefully review the English modules to promote an interactive teaching-learning process in English communication. It further recommends that students have a written daily plan to avoid mingling with school and household responsibilities.

Research Motivation, Engagement, And Productivity of College Instructors, University of Bohol, City of Tagbilaran
type: item
description: Research productivity in higher education institutions plays a vital role in achieving the goals of the institution. These institutions consider the teaching faculty as the primary producers of research in a university. Thus, it would be beneficial for the institution to find out the teaching faculty’s motivation to engage in academic research and determine the factors influencing their research productivity to enhance the institution’s efforts in cultivating quality and quantity research outputs. The study aims to investigate the research motivation, engagement, and research productivity of the college instructors at the University of Bohol. The researcher utilized a quantitative descriptive method using a researcher-made tool in which items were based on an intensive reading of theories, studies, and related literature. The tool underwent pretesting and possessed a high-reliability value based on its computed Cronbach a of .895. The respondents of the study were regular college instructors at the University of Bohol. The respondent’s profile, level of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, level of research engagement, and status on research productivity were subjected to statistical treatment for analyses. The results show that respondents have higher intrinsic than extrinsic motivation. In addition, educational attainment was a consistent variable that significantly relates to the respondents’ research motivation, engagement, and productivity. The result implies that the level of research motivation, engagement, and research productivity level is dependent on one’s educational attainment. On the other hand, the factors that hindered the research engagement of the respondents were a lack of administration support and a full teaching load.

Online Learning Satisfaction and Learning Motivation among Hospitality Management Students
type: item
description: Online learning motivation influences what, how, and when students learn, and online learning takes place across distance and not in a traditional classroom. Moreover, online learning is the only available solution during this Pandemic. This study aims to identify the satisfaction and motivation of the first- to fourth-year students at the University of Bohol College of Hospitality Management during the COVID-19 Pandemic. The researchers used a quantitative-correlational method via a survey questionnaire. A random sample of 128 students was selected from the total population representing different year levels. Modified Online Learning Satisfaction was used to measure the students' satisfaction level, and the Modified Learning Motivation Questionnaire was used to measure their level of motivation. Both questionnaires were subjected to Cronbach's Alpha Test to determine the internal consistency of the items. Ethical guidelines were followed for the whole duration of the research period. It was found that the respondents were moderately satisfied and moderately motivated during online learning. In addition, there is a strong relationship between the level of online learning satisfaction and the level of learning motivation, as determined by spearman's rho, with a p-value less than 0.05. The level of online learning satisfaction is related to the motivation to learn.

Perceived Educational Barriers in the New Normal Among Nursing Students
type: item
description: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the sudden shift from face-to-face lectures to online learning created barriers to students' learning process. These issues have prompted researchers to explore the perceived educational barriers in the new normal, especially among nursing students. This study aims to identify the perceived educational barriers of the new normal among the 200 nursing students at the University of Bohol. This is a quantitative-descriptive research design aided with a self-constructed questionnaire distributed using the online platform, following the ethical guidelines. The tool was pilot-tested and garnered a Cronbach's result of 0.721, which passes the acceptability standard. The gathered data were subjected statistically. Results have shown that respondents have been moderately affected by personal and technological barriers. Socioeconomic barriers were present but rarely affect the respondents. The study concludes that the demographic profile of 200 nursing students did not fully influence their perceived educational barriers. These perceived barriers only moderately affect the respondents; it reveals that distractions, lag devices due to multitasking, and noisy environments primarily affect the students.

description: Every year, almost 19,000 nurses leave the country, according to the Philippine Employment Agency to work abroad. This study aims to discover the different factors that motivate Boholano Nurses to work Abroad in terms of Economic Factors, Job-related Factors, Socio-political Environment Factors, and Personal/Family-related Factors based on the Push and Pull Theory of Motivation by Everett Lee. A descriptive quantitative approach utilizing a random sampling method was used, and the study was conducted in Bohol, Philippines, through an online platform Google Forms. Statistical treatment includes percentage, frequency, weighted mean, Spearman rank, correlation, and chi-square. A total of 36 BSN Graduates of the University of Bohol in the school year 2018 -2019, with a 95% confidence interval and a margin of error of 5%, a sample size of 33 is randomly selected. Privacy, confidentiality, and voluntary consent were observed during data gathering. Results showed that the top two motivational factors are economic factors, followed by job-related factors. The bottom two factors are socio-political factors and personal/family-related factors. The study revealed that Boholano Nurses are overall highly motivated to work abroad, with Economic factors as their greatest motivation, mainly due to the high salary increments and retirement benefits employers outside the country offer. It also concludes that no significant relationship exists between profile and motivational factors.
