Based on the results of the study, a parenting school program was developed to enable parents to apply proper guidance and support for their child. This study focused on three parenting factors: Parental educational expectations, Parental involvement, and Parenting styles in connection with the children’s academic performance. The results of this study show that parenting factors in terms of parental educational expectations are often effective towards a child’s academic performance while parental involvement is sometimes effective. Moreover, the findings also revealed that authoritative parenting styles are also significant on a child’s academic performance. It was also noted that authoritarian, indulgent, and negligent parenting styles are rarely effective. These were the bases of the School Parenting Program as it was suggested that a network needs to be developed to link parents with school information systems pertaining to pupils’ learning outcomes, of the Counselling and Family Development Program, and of symposiums that will inculcate among all school personnel the important role of effective parental involvement.","PeriodicalId":112807,"journal":{"name":"Academia Lasalliana Journal of Education and Humanities","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122968592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This quantitative research study thoroughly tested the accuracy of self-efficacy scales by comparing the grades of third-year university business students who believed themselves capable of achieving vis-à-vis their end-of-third-year English test scores. These scores were also compared to those achieved at the end of the previous year to determine the predictive accuracy of past performances. The results of this experiment were mixed. Initial t-test inferred that there was no significant difference between prior stated beliefs of self-efficacy and end-of-third-year English scores. Furthermore, students’ past performances (end-of-second-year scores) significantly differed from those achieved at the end of the third year, suggesting that self-efficacy beliefs were the more reliable predictor. While Bandura’s (1977; 1986) claims held true according to general calculations, it transpired that across more precise measures, such as gender, ability level, and task specificity, a series of confounding implications were brought to light.","PeriodicalId":112807,"journal":{"name":"Academia Lasalliana Journal of Education and Humanities","volume":"65 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116380558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on pre-service teachers’ experiences regarding the outdoor activities organized for a Civic Education class under the theme: Expressing feelings in relationship with self, others, and nature. Structure-process-outcome theory (Johnson & Johnson, 2018) guided the study regarding how educators organize teaching activities to guide the learning process to positive outcomes regarding teaching skills. Further, this study aimed to create a favorable learning context so that the participants would decide to transfer the outdoor activities to their profession. The chosen methodology was qualitative research with a holistic single-case study research design and a photovoice component. The participants were 23 undergraduate students in the third year of the preschool and primary school education program. Data collection methods were observations, students’ reflective journals, and photos taken by participants and accompanied by essays created by following the SHOWED framework of Wallerstein and Bernstein (1988). After the thematic coding of data, the results revealed the participants’ unique experiences during outdoor activities, and a sense of unity and collaboration during activities and fellowship, not only increasing the desire to invest in relationships and learning but also dreaming of replicating good practices and excellence in their learning and teaching. For further studies, the recommendation is to use outdoor activities for other undergraduate courses and research the outcomes.","PeriodicalId":112807,"journal":{"name":"Academia Lasalliana Journal of Education and Humanities","volume":"1952 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128027689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study developed and tested an online program, entitled Ugnayan, that aimed to enhance Covid-19 survivors’ well-being. Ugnayan incorporated the well-being elements of positive emotion, engagement, positive relationships, meaning, and accomplishments/achievement (PERMA) based on Seligman’s (2011) framework. The study employed an explanatory-sequential approach with a quasi-experimental design. The quasi-experimental involved a mixed design (within and between subjects) where PERMA scores were measured. As a supplemental, qualitative data from selected participants were collected after the post-intervention. Using a mixed-model ANOVA, the results suggested that there was a significant difference between the participants’ pre-test and post-test PERMA scores. There was also a significant difference in PERMA scores in terms of symptomatology. Additionally, there was a significant interaction of effects between the Ugnayan program and the participants’ COVID-19 symptomatology. The qualitative data highlighted the participants’ improvement-related experiences which were related to gratitude, stress management, social connection, engaging in activities, finding purpose, meaning, and acknowledging small wins. Recommendations for further research and utilization of the Ugnayan program for the general population were also offered.","PeriodicalId":112807,"journal":{"name":"Academia Lasalliana Journal of Education and Humanities","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123913740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were elicited by interviewing three Grade 7 students via online conferences brought by quarantine restrictions during the pandemic. Two classroom observations were also conducted prior the pandemic. Data were analyzed following Moustakas’ (1994) tradition. There were 18 codes identified. These codes were then thematized following reflexive thematic analysis by Braun and Clarke (2006). It was revealed that the advanced readers’ cognitive representation of instructional neglect equals the inability to express ideas during classroom discussions shaped by their teachers’ lack of encouragement or peers’ assignment of pet names. It is recommended that curricular extensions such as providing enrichment activities and classroom interactions be made constructive to avoid suppressing the advanced readers’ potentials.","PeriodicalId":112807,"journal":{"name":"Academia Lasalliana Journal of Education and Humanities","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133439126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
