However, constructs of postcolonial education among Muslim-Filipino educators are scarce. With these gaps, the study sought to establish a baseline conceptualization of Muslim education in the postcolonial Philippines. The study employed a qualitative research design to increase understanding of a relatively narrow concept or empirical phenomenon. The study utilized an interpretivist approach, particularly a transactional epistemology, and used purposive sampling with five Muslim educators as research participants. The results of the study provide a general overview of postcolonial praxes and constructs of Muslim education in the Philippines. However, the study is limited to five selected research participants. The study’s results highlighted balancing secular and non-secular education, Muslim and Filipino identities, and learning institutions for knowledge preservation. The findings are imperative in addressing the dearth of professional literature on the hermeneutic of postcolonial Muslim education in the Philippines. In conclusion, further studies on its essence primarily as an impetus for relevant, appropriate, and responsive education and policies among Muslim educators and learners are sought.

Motivated by diffusion of responsibility, the research employed a One-Shot Pre-test Post-Test Research Design over three weeks. Students were divided into groups and assigned roles as managers, investigators, or recorder-reporters. The effectiveness of these roles was evaluated using the Student Physics Test and the Physics Attitude Inventory. Results indicated a significant improvement in student achievement (t-test = 14.65) but no substantial change in attitudes towards Physics (t-test = -0.47), suggesting pre-existing favorable attitudes in STEM students. The study concludes that while task specialization and group study effectively enhance achievement by reducing the diffusion of responsibility and promoting active participation, they do not significantly alter students’ attitudes toward Physics. The findings recommend implementing these strategies across various subjects and educational strands to increase student achievement. Further research is suggested to explore the broader implications of these strategies on student attitudes, validate results over extended periods, and examine the effects of varying roles and group cooperation.
