In the context of educational inclusion, sign language learning plays an important role in facilitating effective communication for individuals with hearing loss. The use of mobile technology, such as Android applications, has offered an attractive solution to enhance sign language learning by providing flexible and affordable access. \u0000However, the UI design of sign language learning apps does not always adequately consider the special needs of users, especially students with hearing impairment. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the UI design of existing Android-based sign language learning apps, focusing on accessibility, intuitiveness, and effectiveness in delivering learning content. \u0000This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the Waterfall model approach. This research method involves analyzing various aspects of UI design, including layout, navigation, use of symbols, and interactivity. Data was collected through direct observation of student use of the application and interviews with educators in special schools. Data analysis was conducted using qualitative and quantitative approaches to identify strengths and weaknesses in the app's UI design. \u0000The results showed that of the four instruments used in analyzing the UI design of this \"AkuBisa\" learning media application, using a Likert scale and a Guttman scale, the following results were obtained: needs analysis instrument with an average value of 3.45; media development storyboard instrument with an average value of 3.37; media display design instrument with an average value of 3.31; and Blackbox testing instrument with a percentage level of functionality reaching 100%. The results of testing and assessment of the four instruments show that the user interface design of android-based sign language recognition learning media is declared very valid in fulfilling the elements of accessibility, intuitiveness, and effectiveness as a learning media application and is very feasible to use as an alternative learning media for sign language recognition in special schools.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"122 13","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141360519","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}

India has often experienced turbulence in its economic growth and development throughout its history. The study has demonstrated the disruptions that have taken place in the nation's development and export patterns by analysing data from 1970. Flow stability has only been found in FDI for the whole coverage period. Hence, attaining export stability and expansion are the two most crucial criteria for the Indian economy. The article demonstrates the existence of a long-term relationship between exports, foreign direct investment (FDI), and GDP growth. Hence, the development of export and foreign direct investment (FDI) policies is crucial for a nation to attain economic stability. Furthermore, as the study investigates, there is a necessity to enhance the exportation in diverse industries for a comprehensive analysis. Enhancing foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows into the economy can further bolster export promotion. The administration may prioritize the relaxation of limitations on foreign direct investment (FDI) in industries that have not received much attention previously. With the rise in foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, these industries have the potential to enhance their production and export strategies, therefore making a significant contribution to India's long-term economic growth. It is feasible to do thorough study on the particular industries that should be given priority in order to improve export promotion and attract foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Indian economy.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141370585","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 dealing with these problems, human resource management plays a vital role in controlling and directing resources to perform school operations effectively. Thus, this systematic review explored the various literature on resource management, specifically on human resources through the PRISMA framework. Studies included in this review are focused on the challenges, strategies, and impact of resource management in educational institutions written in the English language and conducted between 2020 and 20224 from the Google Scholar. Out of 152 records identified from database searching, 10 articles from eight countries revealed three themes for the challenges of human resource management, namely: recruitment and retention challenges, workforce diversity and inclusion, and professional development and training. In terms of the strategies, the analysis showed three themes for human resource management, namely: talent acquisition and retention, performance management and evaluation, and change management and adaptation. Finally, the three themes about the impact of human resource management are educational quality and student outcomes, organizational performance and efficiency, and innovation and adaptation. These findings necessitate the application of effective human resource management strategies to improve educational organization. However, schools experienced obstacles in dealing with human resources. Therefore, future researchers may explore more strategies to overcome the said problems. They can also delve into issues, perspectives, and techniques of school leaders in managing other resources not covered in this study like financial, physical, and technological resources.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":" 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141369180","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 qualitative case study examined six participants who actively integrated the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP) professional development into their practice. Five out of six came from the mega-sized secondary schools with two teachers, two master teachers, a school head; and one supervisor, a Division Representative. The six contributors were from the Division of Panabo City, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The study identified several common themes regarding the integration of NEAP learning into instructional and leadership practices, such as the adoption of comprehensive teaching and learning models, student-centered approaches, strategic planning, and strong support systems. Additional themes included mentorship, professional collaboration, and reflective practice. However, challenges requiring improvement were also noted, such as enhancing interactive group dialogue and incorporating research-based learning. Two main themes emerged regarding the understanding of monitoring and evaluation for further improvement: assessment and feedback provision. Recommendations included a careful examination of current and outdated policies, addressing issues related to curriculum overload, enhancing sources of teaching and learning materials, introducing stress-management activities, supporting research-related initiatives, ensuring clear communication, creating feedback loops, and organizing interactive workshops. Participants provided positive feedback on the integration of NEAP learning into their instructional and leadership practices. They appreciated and implemented NEAP-inspired approaches in their classrooms and schools. The study revealed that teachers were not only receptive to these changes but were also committed to the overall development of their students. Their participation in various training programs, workshops, seminars, scholarships, and courses indicated their desire to improve both personally and professionally.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"212 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141375965","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}

Utilizing stratified sampling, 183 respondents from seven public schools in the Division of Davao City participated. Data collection employed three modified survey forms, and statistical analysis included averaging, Pearson correlation coefficient, standard deviation computation, and regression analysis. The study found that teacher work values, leadership style, and organizational policies and practices were all perceived to be very high. There was a statistically significant relationship between teacher work values and organizational policies and practices (r = 0.772, p < 0.001), as well as between leadership style and organizational policies and practices (r = 0.804, p < 0.001). Regression analysis revealed that teacher work values (β = 0.404, p < 0.001) and leadership style (β = 0.620, p < 0.001) significantly impacted organizational policies and practices. The regression model was significant, F (2, 180) = 188.575, p < 0.001, and accounted for 68.1% of the variance in organizational policies and practices (R² = 0.681). These findings suggest that prioritizing and nurturing strong work values and effective leadership styles among teachers and school administrators is crucial. Such emphasis can enhance organizational policies and practices, fostering a more productive and positive working environment in public schools. Based on these results, it is recommended that teachers, school administrators, and officials from the Department of Education (DepEd) prioritize and nurture strong work values and effective leadership styles. This focus is essential for the enhancement of organizational policies and practices, which in turn contributes to a more productive and positive working environment. In summary, the significant impact of teacher work values and leadership style on organizational policies and practices underscores the importance of these factors in promoting effective school management and positive educational outcomes.","PeriodicalId":502349,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Education and Social Studies","volume":"28 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141378912","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}
