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.

Parental solid involvement positively impacts academic progress, while evaluation practices identify learning strengths and weaknesses. Regarding self-determination, effective communication fosters social development, enhancing the classroom climate. Program and class characteristics engage students in real-world connections through interactive activities. However, challenges persist, including enforcement gaps affecting instructional methods, pupil health influencing the learning environment, and the need to accommodate diverse academic journeys while fostering belongingness and competence.

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.

As digital transformation permeates education, school administrators play a pivotal role in fostering learning environments compatible with the new demands of the research methods, this study evaluated the proficiency level of various leadership styles in the context of IR 4.0 in the Bangladesh education system. The key areas of focus included Strategic, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Digital Leadership, with a particular emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Cloud Computing. Each Leadership style was assessed based on Key result areas (KRAs), strengths, deficiencies, interventions required, and potential transitions. The study revealed that while administrators perceived their practice levels to be high, teachers and students reposted their practice levels to be high, and teachers and students reposted moderate levels of practice across all styles. In Strategic Leadership, discrepancies were observed in the understanding and response to broader changes brought by IR 4.0. Interpersonal Leadership revealed gaps in relationship building and communication, while Intrapersonal Leadership pointed towards the need for enhanced self–leadership skills. Digital Leadership covering AI and Cloud computing, surfaced as an area needing extensive professional development. Through this study, important insights were gained regarding the challenges and opportunities associated with adapting leadership styles in the digital age. The findings are anticipated to contribute to the design of an effective School Leadership Development Programme. The research underscores the importance of administrators aligning their leadership practices with the evolving digital landscape, emphasizing the need for vision, innovation, and the cultivation of future-ready skills to prepare students for success in the era of IR 4.0.

During the pandemic, the said regulatory body must ensure its efficiency and safety. AnyLogistix, a system software employed in Post Market Surveillance for vaccines in Norway, was discovered during the research process. This software has facilitated the efficient assessment and monitoring of vaccines in Norway. Consequently, this case study explores the potential benefits of implementing anyLogistix in the Philippines to enhance drug and vaccine cold chain management. The Grounded Theory was used to assess the readiness and acceptance of local companies and organizations responsible for managing cold chain facilities and vaccines in the Philippines, to pave the way for future advancements in the field. Ultimately, the acceptability of the comparative study validates the approval of stakeholders, cold chain facilities, and government regulatory agencies in using anyLogistix as an automated system to efficiently monitor the post-market surveillance in the downstream stages of the supply chain for vaccines spearheaded by the Food and Drug Administration-Philippines. This study conducted a survey among 14 expert panelists both male and female in which 8 out of 14 panelists expressed dissatisfaction with the current system of how the government responds to pandemic outbreaks, 10 out of 14 panelists were not familiar with anyLogistix, and 11 out of 14 panelists shows interest in using this Norwegian software to improve the efficiency in responding to vaccine supply management issues, therefore, anyLogistix could be a good development that the Food and Drug Administration could utilize.

The output of this study will serve as the basis for further training enhancement programs. A qualitative study using the case study method was conducted in the municipality of Candijay, Bohol. Selected members of Mauswagong Pundok sa Pantawid SLP Association who were officers undergo an exploratory interview in the first phase as a basis for the structured interview guide for phase two interview. The findings have highlighted the interplay of various factors that influence the success and sustainability of this venture, encompassing food waste management, policy implementation, business marketing, records management, and supply chain management. The challenges encountered by SLP beneficiaries in the operations of the Marinated Boneless Milkfish business are multifaceted and interconnected. Addressing these challenges requires a collaborative effort from various stakeholders, including government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the beneficiaries themselves. The theoretical contribution and originality of this research lie in its holistic examination of the challenges encountered by beneficiaries of the Marinated Boneless Milkfish business, considering the intersection of various elements. This research uniquely integrates these factors into a comprehensive analysis. This approach allows for a more nuanced understanding of how these challenges are interrelated and how addressing them collectively can lead to a more sustainable and prosperous business model. The findings of this research have significant implications for practitioners and policymakers. Clear and supportive policies regarding environmental regulations, quality standards, and fisheries management are vital to creating a conducive business environment.
