The study evaluated the extent Pikit Agricultural Colony fulfilled its mandate. The study used the descriptive design. Results showed that the colony as an experiment on multiethnic co-existence is a failure. There were very few Muslims and indigenous colonists among Christian colonos in the four villages originally assigned for colonization. In most colono villages, Christian inhabitants prefer to live among themselves than allow other groups to settle in their villages. Pikit did not develop into an agricultural base for production of basic foodstuff for the nation. Internecine strife prevented it from progressing into what it was planned to be. The original villages of colonos and their descendants have increased in population over a ninety year period except village Calawag. Children of colonos in this villages migrated to other places even outside of the country. The study concluded that the descendants of colonos consider the venture of their parents and grandparents as success. The government planners and some economic analysts consider it a failure. The agricultural colonization in Pikit was a catalyst for the growth and development of Cotabato in particular, and of Mindanao in general.","PeriodicalId":256981,"journal":{"name":"IAMURE: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127102444","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 quasi-experiment following a non-equivalent control group design was used. Two sections of 2nd year BSIT students of Isabela State University-Cauayan Campus were involved.

The scores in the achievement test and standardized attitude inventory test were compared and the significance of their difference was determined using the t-test. The control group and the experimental group were equal in terms of cognitive level in Physics. However, the students exposed to the constructivist approach of laboratory teaching had significantly higher post-test scores and higher mean gain scores than the students exposed to the traditional approach after the study was conducted. The experimental group developed a more positive attitude towards Physics than the control group. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the post achievement scores and post attitude scores of the students exposed to constructivist approachbased experiments and traditional experiments.

Ninety-two (92) college faculties from different colleges and school served as respondents of this study. The descriptive method of research was employed. Survey questionnaire on educational philosophy inventory with Cronbach’s alpha of 0.829 received by the researcher as part of the kit and handouts during the First Learning Leaders Congress last May 2009 was utilized. The statistical procedure that was used in the study was only percentage distribution. Findings revealed that majority of the CAS faculty are upholding the progressivism and eclectic philosophies of education. The Accounting teachers and majority of the Computer Studies, Education, and Hospitality Management teachers espouse the progressivism school of thought. Most of the Business and Economics, Engineering, and Nursing faculty members are eclectics who do not subscribe to one particular philosophy. Aside from being eclectic, the Nursing teachers are also equally essentialists, behaviorists, and progressivists. The educational philosophy being espoused by the majority of the faculty in the entire college unit is progressivism. Both probationary and permanent teachers uphold the progressivism philosophy of education which implies that they are more child-centered in their approach to teaching and they require their students to really be actively engaged in the learning process. Their way of teaching focuses more in developing students’ creativity, imagination, analysis and critical thinking.","PeriodicalId":256981,"journal":{"name":"IAMURE: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126565989","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}

Standardized tools were used to determine the levels of spirituality and work stress. An in-depth interview with the top and lowest ten on spirituality was conducted to further validate the findings. This study’s findings reveal that the faculty’s extent of work stress was low. As to spirituality, they considered themselves highly spiritual. Moreover, the study showed that age, gender, educational attainment, and length of teaching experience did not significantly influence the teachers’ level of work stress. However, only gender was found to have a significant influence on the faculty’s level of spirituality. Finally, no statistical evidence was found that the faculty’s level of spirituality had a significant effect on their level of work stress. However, results of the in-depth interview reveal the practical significance of spirituality in relation to work stress. Therefore, the findings offer insight into the limitation of empirical study to measure objectively the spiritual domain of man.

This descriptive survey-correlation method of research tried to find out which conflict management styles relate significantly to the personality attributes of the Southeast Asian school managers. The findings may serve as a feedback as to how this group of school managers manages conflict in certain situations and as a partial basis for assessment to determine their conflict management styles and personality attributes. The result indicated non-significant differences between their conflict management styles used in each of the five areas of concern which was established based on the computed value of the Phi-Coefficient since there were only two conflict management styles expressed by them in each area of concern namely, Integratingand Forcing.

It was a descriptive research utilizing frequency and percentage. Results showed that our teachers are generally active and practicing Catholics. Socially, they are active in using the social network in communicating with their students. Most of their evenings and week-ends are spent preparing work related materials. Only 7% indicated that they are able to rest during evenings. Economically majority aspires to save but is not in the position to do so at present while professionally, most teachers aspire to earn their doctoral degree. Though a related study in 2009 concluded that generally, LCC teachers have a high state of wellness; this current research concluded that most teachers do work related tasks during evenings and week-ends.

This recognition of the need for specific preparation for aspiring school leaders has been slower to emerge worldwide and in many developing countries such as Malaysia, preparatory training is still not a prerequisite requirement for appointment as a principal. This paper reports on the preliminary findings on the principal preparation program in Malaysia and the effectiveness of the program elements in contributing to the self- efficacy development of the aspiring principals. The qualitative study captured the “live experiences” of two distinct principals and presents their perspectives on how specific elements within their principal preparation program catered to their self- efficacy development.
