As a result, the researcher decided to investigate how well-prepared and successful the schools were at integrating distance learning modes from the perspective of the parents of students enrolled in ESNCHS. The researcher investigated the correlational relationship between readiness and perceived effectiveness of the three primary distance learning modalities in terms of curriculum support, instructional support, and overall learning program among Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) recipient parents of Eastern Samar National Comprehensive High School for the School Year 2020-2021. The results appear to make sense due to the ready and very effective perceptions of the respondents based on the previously presented results. The finding implies the need to continuously implement good practices in monitoring learners learning activities even if they are not in school; that the teacher-parent relationship be strengthened through focus group activities to identify their strengths and weaknesses in assisting their children; and to regularly review the preparation, distribution, and retrieval of learning modules mechanism to cater the learning needs of the students better.\u0000KEYWORDS: Distance learning, Readiness of implementation, parent-stakeholders, COVID-19 Pandemic","PeriodicalId":114964,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Research & Development (IJRD)","volume":"33 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140425940","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}

In this context, teachers are tasked to teach subjects outside their specialization. Although several studies have been conducted about out-of-field teaching, nothing is known about the lived experiences in the context of math educators that have utilized Gadamers hermeneutic framework in gathering and analyzing data. Therefore, the purpose of this qualitative study is to determine the meaning of the lived experiences of math educators in out-of-field teaching experiences. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological design, a sample of 10 math educators was purposively selected following selection criteria from 2 distinct divisions in the Philippines. This approach allowed for a comprehensive exploration and interpretation of the participants experiences and meaning-making processes. After a series of rigorous steps, four major themes emerged from the narrative accounts including (a) out-of-field teaching presents content, pedagogical, and technological issues, (b) out-of-field teaching causes mental and emotional disturbances among teachers, (c) out-of-field teaching requires enough learning resources and proper training/mentoring, and (d) out-of-field teaching entails adaptive behaviors among teachers.

The objectives of the study were; to examine the extent of womens representation in Nasarawa States political institutions, to evaluate the influence and impact of these women in policy making, budgetary allocations, and the implementation of programs that address gender-specific concerns within the state, and to analyze the socio-economic implications of womens political participation. The theoretical framework employed for this study is Kanters Glass-Ceiling Theory (1977). Citing specific literature and empirical studies on womens political participation and governance, and consulting scholarly articles, policy briefs, and reports published in reputable academic journals and accessible databases, the analysis was bolstered with evidence-based findings. Study revealed that in Nasarawa State as in other parts of Nigeria and the world, patriarchy has over the years dominated the political landscape, leading to significant challenges and barriers for women seeking political roles. However, findings suggest that womens political participation in Nasarawa State positively impacts good governance. Increased representation of women in decision-making bodies improved policy-making processes, prioritized gender-sensitive sectors, and enhanced accountability and transparency. The Study therefore advocated for increase in the number of women in political offices in Nasarawa state which could potentially contribute to better governance by reducing corrupt practices and promoting transparency in decision-making processes. \u0000KEYWORDS: Politics, Political participation, Governance, Gender Equality","PeriodicalId":114964,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Research & Development (IJRD)","volume":"33 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139778463","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}
