Using the parameters as set by the model, this study identified three teaching methods in teaching English to SLL: one-on-one interaction using the English language; group interaction using the English language; and the mixed method (the use of both one-on-one and group interactions, and learners encouraged to use the target language and their native tongue in the interactions). The generated data from the model were statistically treated using regression analysis. The results showed that one-on-one interaction using the English language and group interaction using the English language were the methods ESL learners could better learn the target language rather than through the mixed method. The results implied that a person can learn English without the facility of his/her first language, and that there are methods that are effective in the teaching of English. With the smorgasbord of strategies and methods in English language learning, there are methods that may cater to different kinds of learning. With the proper execution of the method, i.e., group interaction using English, learners can acquire a second language even without the facility of their first language.","PeriodicalId":233251,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115253323","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}

The main goal was to develop a learning model taking into consideration the underlying factors that affect optimum learning. The factors were [1] the average number of effective teachers per student, [2] amount of contact time between the students and effective teachers, and [3] the amount of time spent for studying per student. A simulation was done to imitate the real-life interaction between the students and effective teachers using the AIDS model from the NetLogo software––a multi-agent programmable modeling environment. In the model, the virus was translated as ‘effective teachers’ and the infection caused by the virus as the ‘learning gained’ by the students. Results show that the average learning rate a student acquires is 84% when there is a [1] greater number of effective teachers a student is in contact with, and [2] high amount of study time, even if the student has a low amount of contact time with effective teachers. It proposed that when students are exposed to effective teachers at a high rate then these students are able to receive optimal learning.","PeriodicalId":233251,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125328067","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}

Specifically, it aimed to establish a picture on the potential of a dipterocarp forest fire with varied tree densities and probability of spread. The study also aimed to determine if there is a significant effect of tree density and the probability of the spread of forest fire to the percent of area burned, and creates implications for the planning of the intervention strategies for the control and prevention of forest fire. The Fire Simple Extension 1 Netlogo model of the Agent- Based Modeling was used in this study. This simulation system gave information as to the flammability potential of a forest, a dipterocarp forest in this case, taking into account the influence of tree density and probability of spread. The findings of the study revealed that the percent of area burned is dependent on tree density and the probability of spread. On the other hand, the spread of fire has a greater influence on the percent of area burned than the density of trees. If the probability of spread is low, the percent of area burned is constant in both low and high dense areas. With a very low percentage of the spread of fire, the fire will have a negligible effect(less than 2%) on a particular area regardless of tree density. Setting the density lower than 55% in the slider will result in a very minimal destruction of the forest. Data also reveal that a less dense area will have a greater surface area burned compared to a high dense area considering a low spread of fire.","PeriodicalId":233251,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126616714","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 explores the possible dynamics from an economic perspective resulting from the job-seeking behaviour of the graduates and job generation. Changes in the characteristics of the work location areas shows a variation in the number of areas each job seeker looks at when choosing a place that optimizes the jobseeker’s utility and the options of employment created in the country. The research paper utilized the NetLogo, a multi- agent programming language and modeling environment for simulating complex natural and social phenomena. Specifically, the Economic Disparity NetLogo Model simulates the Philippine context using the socio-economic status of the agents to determine how their preferences for choosing a location to live impacts on employment conditions. In the study, the work location area is affected by variations in the two factors, Factor A being the number of location each job seeker looks at when choosing a place that optimizes the jobseeker’s utility, and Factor B being the number of places of employment created in the country. Four scenarios are simulated by the model when the two factors are set at low or high levels to determine the time for a job location to become saturated. The variation of the factors created four scenarios. Scenarios B and D with large job seeker population and more places of employment created took 28 years to reach job saturation point. Scenarios A and C with a small jobseeker population and few places of employment created took 11 years. In all scenarios, the saturation point reached 14 ticks.","PeriodicalId":233251,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132491880","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 was done by investigating the change of state from natural to normal. The data were obtained from the annual report of the GPI done by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) from 2008 to 2015. The result showed that the peacefulness of the countries can be attributed to the internal factors followed by the external factors. The deterioration of peacefulness can be first brought about by political instability. Various armed factions begin competing for influence in the power that lead to civil war. Violent crime, homicide rate, terrorist activities and the Political Terror Scale, followed substantially. To repress the population and fight the rebels, the government would increase the number of internal security officers, police, and army. Most of the external factors would also worsen because of these conflicts. Relations with neighboring countries would remain extremely tense. They would struggle to accommodate the flood of refugees. Interventions of United States (US) and other allied countries would have to take place.","PeriodicalId":233251,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Social and Behavioral Sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134433491","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}

There were 73 regular faculty members from the College of Arts and Sciences of the Bukidnon State University whose performance were taken from their Performance Evaluation System (PES) rating during the first semester of school year 2013-2014. A total of 715 sample students from a population of 3,285 were proportionately extracted from each faculty’s students using Slovin’s formula. The academic performances of students were their grade point average in their respective subjects from their corresponding teachers during the semester. Ruggedness of the data on the performance of faculty in instruction accounts for 87% of the ruggedness of the data on the academic performance of their students. Likewise, 67% and 62% of the ruggedness of the data on the academic performance of students were accounted for by the ruggedness of the data of the performance ofteachers in research and extension, respectively.
