3 CONTENT ANALYSIS OF MISSION STATEMENTS OF SELECTED STATE UNIVERSITIES IN THE PHILIPPINES: BASIS FOR STRATEGIC EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT PLANNING , Abigail C. Gomez, Anabella C. Gomez
Mission statements play a vital role in any university system, more especially in the strategic planning of the universities. Conducting this study through content analysis allowed the researchers to deconstruct the mission statements of selected five state universities in the CALABRAZON Region of the Philippines. Findings reveal major themes which emerged from the analysis. These themes were construed by the researchers as vital elements in crafting university mission statements: description, role, objectives, strategies, and graduate outcomes of the universities. Three universities declared their commitment to do their mission. Major roles of the universities are to serve as producers, providers and nurturers. Universities vary in their objectives but are mostly similar in strategizing for the areas of instruction, research, extension, and production activities to meet specific objectives. Overall, mission statements still differ from one another even if their thrusts might be similar in ways to respond to their clientele and mandate of their university charter.

5 A STUDY ON TRANSFORMATION OF EDUCATION SYSTEM THROUGH NEW EDUCATION POLICY , Dr. Bhawna
Ministry of Human Resource Development of Government of India has projected an elaborate and all– encompassing National Education Policy (NEP2020). Before Independence, the education in India was under the complete control of the “Masters, the British Empire”. The education policies, like the one drawn by Macaulay, as would be obvious, were not for providing any quality education to the Indians, but to churn out the “Babus”, clerks and bureaucrats, to serve the masters, pure and simple. After independence, the society went through series of changes, policies were charted and certain reforms were brought in, but the impact was still not achieved. In 2015, the GOI adapted “2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SD)”and since then the impetus has been initiated. The final culmination of a long drawn and all inclusive process is NEP2020. NEP 2020 has been a very elaborate planning document. The salient feature of the issues, principles, aims and, vision, challenges, and solutions have been dealt with this article. The main focus has been on the higher education and its implementation. Due importance also has been accorded to other issues such as vocational education, research and online and digital education to mention a few. Overall, it is commendable and a very positive step forward on the part of the government. Only the time will judge, how much net effective output is actually garnered.

7 RETHINKING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE IN THE TIME OF CRISIS , Abel V. Alvarez, Jr.
The idea of inclusivity in education has become an abstract phenomenon in the time of the pandemic crisis. While studies show that most advanced countries are adaptive to the so-called new normal, the other side of the world is struggling to adapt to emergency remote education due to the notion of the digital divide. The disparity of society’s access to the digital world has been present even in the pre-pandemic era. However, it has predominantly visible in today’s dystopian society as it continuously navigates in the pandemic world. This paper attempts to discuss and to share a glimpse of the digital situation during the pandemic crisis. Interestingly, it presents that the digital divide widens learning spaces and significantly creates social injustices. Hence, it is highly recommended in the post-pandemic world for countries to invest in digital infrastructures, provide affordable and accessible supportive digital learning tools, resources and materials, and strengthen and expand digital literacy programs for all.

9 VIDEO GAME ENGAGEMENT AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS , Conie Santolices, Charlon Molase, Aina Semolava, Llywwyllynn Farparan, April Joy Tabugsoc, Rona Jane Moncal
Video games can be either online that can be played through the use of android or smartphones using an internet connection, or offline. With this, the researchers were encouraged to study how a video game is correlated to the engagement and academic performance of the students. The researchers determined the respondents of the study through a pre-survey where junior high school students were asked to answer the question of whether they are playing videogames or not. The research instrument that was used in this study was a researcher-made instrument duly validated by the panel of experts. For Descriptive data analysis, mean, percentage, and standard deviation were used while for Inferential data analysis, Pearson (r) was used. The findings of the study showed when taken as a whole, the length of engagement of the students in the school was between zero to one hour; when grouped according to grade level, the length of engagement of the students in Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9 and Grade10 was between zero to one hour; The academic performance of the students when grouped according to grade level were as follows: Grade 7, Grade 8 and Grade 10 students had a good academic performance with the mean of 82.03, 82.15 and 82.10 respectively while Grade 9 students had a poor academic performance with the mean of 78.91. There was no significant linear relationship between the length of engagement and academic performance. The p-value is .101 which is greater than the 0.05 level of significance which leads to accepting the null hypothesis. This infers that engagement in a videogame can not affect the academic performance of the students. The students must learn how to manage their time and separate personal things from school matters. They must learn how to be responsible enough in prioritizing important things related to their study and set aside those things that can distract them or cannot help them to improve their academic performance..
10 SELF-EFFICACY, ANXIETY, AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN MATHEMATICS OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS  , Jessica T. Ducay, Alfredo D. Alave
This descriptive- correlational study examined the relationship between the self-efficacy, anxiety, and academic performance of students in mathematics. The participants of the study were Grade 10 students enrolled in Sicaba National High School of Academic Year 2018-2019. The adopted questionnaire of Bearneza (2016) Self-efficacy and Anxiety in Learning Mathematics Questionnaire was used. The grades of the respondents were used by the researchers to measure the level of their academic performance in mathematics. Findings imply that experiences of failure contribute to higher sense of mathematics anxiety. The findings further signify that despite the high level of self-efficacy that the student’s confidence is in functioning intellectually by means of his/her adaptive behavior but due to his/her negative experiences in the past the level of anxiety is high. There was a significant relationship between self-efficacy and anxiety, anxiety and academic performance of the student’s self- efficacy predicts academic performance in mathematics.

16 SHAKESPEARE’S TWELFTH NIGHT AS A COMEDY , Appalal Abdulgaffar Attar
William Shakespeare happens to be the greatest writer of the world. He is called the Bard of Avon. He is a great playwright and poet. His 37 plays include his tragedies, tragi-comedies, histories (covering Roman plays), sonnets, and comedies. The present play focuses on his fine drafting of upholding the language. The essential spirit of the play ‘Twelfth Night’ is captured in its title. The world of Twelfth Night is one of comedy and comic excess; and among all of the characters in the play, it is the drunken, misbehaving and prankish Sir Toby Belch who epitomizes its humorous nature. In Twelfth Night, despite the festive spirit of the play, Shakespeare invites his audience to notice certain problematic aspects of the story. Reductively, the theme of Twelfth Night is the joy and pain of love. The play was written in Shakespeare's older years and he attempts to see love for all that is both good and bad about it. This may explain why Twelfth Night has a subtitle, What You Will (the only play that has one, between). Twelfth Night explores a variety of themes and issues. The major theme of celebration and festivity was prevalent in all of the sources from which Shakespeare drew.

18 IM DEVELOPMENT FOR LITERARY CRITICISM AND TEACHING OF LITERATURE: CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE , Aragon, Douglas Angel II A.
With the advancement of technology and series of curriculum reform, teachers are challenged to recalibrate their teaching methodology and delivery of instruction. Teachers may adopt ways to improve the quality of instruction everyday. In order to achieve this goal, teachers may opt to use variety of instructional methods and techniques such as developing research-based instructional materials that will aid the current teaching-instruction modality. In this context, this paper aimed to develop an instructional material in Literary Criticism and Teaching of Literature to enhance instruction in these fields. The content of the proposed IM was based from CMO 30 s. 2004 to align with the expected competency based standards for education students specializing English and Literature. There were 100 English majors used as respondents for the need assessment, grouped as follows: 57 freshmen, 33 sophomore and 10 juniors. These respondents noted that “learning is best achieved in the presence of sample output exercises reflected in the handouts (WM 1.29)” and “handouts promote the habit of self-individualized learning (WM 1.38)”, lastly, “teaching the theories requires textbooks and references (WM 1.49)”. All the responses fall in the interpretation of strongly agree. Three experts in the field evaluated the content validity of the two instructional materials: The Lectures on Discourse and Teaching of Literature. The instructional materials were evaluated on the following criteria: content, organization, effectivity and preference. The Lectures on Discourse was rated 4.30 while the Teaching of Literature was rated 4.28 both with an interpretation of very satisfactory, recommended for utilization if corrections are typographical in nature; then editors can correct them and return it to the writer then re-submit again the IM for further evaluation. Meanwhile, there were four selected stories used as specimen-texts for this study. The first layer of criticism used content thematic approach to identify the content, which discussed the cultural issues of the texts and the second layer used symptomatic reading to examine the deeper meaning. The actual experience of the respondents in doing the literary analysis provided the insight in establishing the chronology and suggested content of the lecture notes. The actual output from the literary analysis served as sample models in the exercises part. Homi Bhabha’s (1994) postcolonial framework established the concept of postcolonial symptoms while Francis Johnson’s (1975) framework established the framing of the instructional material. At the end of this attempt, this paper hoped that it may open up a series of literary studies to other perspectives and multidisciplinary approaches and develop instructional materials generated from the exercises made by the students to serve as additional reference in appreciating literature and criticism particularly for a student-directed group environment.

30 MILIEU, ATTITUDE AND COGNITIVE ASPECTS OF STUDENT-CENTERED LEARNING IN NURSING EDUCATION: A CORRELATIONAL STUDY , Rachelle S. Garcia
Recently, student-centered learning has found its place in the Philippine nursing education yet there was very limited literature as to how Filipino learners take it. This article: (a) described the assessment of implementation of student-centered learning (SCL) in the B.S. Nursing (BSN) program and (b) determined the relationships of attitude, milieu and cognitive aspects of SCL. This correlational study underwent institutional review before a sample of 250 nursing students completed the 50-item 4-point Likert Questionnaire with Chronbach α 0.94. This study showed that Filipino nursing students assessed the implementation of both social and physical milieu as mostly acceptable. Furthermore, SCL was assessed as completely acceptable to be fittingly supportive of the nursing students’ self- directedness, inventive skills, reasoning skills and made them even more innovative, critical thinker, expressive, and collegial. They assessed the entire SCL experience as suitable and adaptive to the demands of real-life challenges. This study supported other study findings that SCL milieu, attitude and cognitive aspects are interrelated to each other. This may be suggestive that further enhancing the SCL milieu would correspondingly generate more desirable attitudes and cognitive attributes among nursing students. Full implementation of SCL may be recommended to other nursing schools.

42 WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES , Dr. Narender Singh Siwach, Dr. Sunita Chaudhary
Indian women are still trying to establish their own identity. Even today in 21st Century, females in our country are not able to take stand for themselves. A society, which does not allow' a girl to do something simple as primary education, is unlikely to let her participate in sport without any hurdles. There are some problems faced daily by Indian girls like education (deprivation), sexual harassment, old fashioned customs, sponsorship problems, lack of good coaches, social morality etc. Regular participation in activities improves the wellness of women and a lot of other benefits. Our primary responsibility is to promote physical activity in girls especially in the Primary phase of schooling. We have provided better environment, involvement of parents, change attitude, better facilities, incentives and fair selection process to improve the participation of Indian women in physical activity. Motor activity does not develop the physical potency only but also mental and emotional capabilities of girls.
43 A RESEARCH ON IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIC WASTE MANAGEMENT IN EDUCATION , Poonam Batra, Dr. Bharat Ranjan
The current manufacturing administration generally doesn't bother about the urgency of environmental protection against monetary advantages. This assertion depicts an indifferent mentality environment, particular issues to ensure food security, and most importantly the production of the enormous amount of untreated waste. EU has been preparing certain rules and tools to curtail the volume of waste, particularly for organic ones to get treatment to attain optimal recycling and to bypass issues with respect to landfilling and incineration. Farming is an important factor to create organic wastes and has the capability to engulf other wastes from separate places. Agricultural management or treatment with the help of soil to produce plant could be beneficial for financial or ecological aspects and cater contribution to sustainable development. In that regard, it's important to consider the genre of soil protection and necessity of farming nutritional plants. It could provide sustainable management for crop remains. This technique is useful for Mediterranean soil type which has a low level of organic components. It's effective to reinforce the capability in terms of carbon dioxide fixation apart from elevating the fertility of the soil. In order to handle this systematically, future scholars need a multidimensional creation along with an experimental modification in the sphere of agricultural engineering. The connection between some of the fundamental topics in these types of subjects is (soil science, fertilizers management, plant production, animal husbandry, farm machinery) funding for future foundations and operation of a combined strategy for organic waste treatment. These are accepted as the features of separate topological cases. Those aspects must be integrated into the academic curriculum in Agricultural Engineering institutions. Aside range of reviews and surveys from experimental results of organic waste recycling with respect to farming will be demonstrated.
44 ANALYSIS OF MENTAL ABILITY IN CHESS BETWEEN LIVE GAME AND VIRTUAL GAME , Mohit Khanna, Dr. Amresh
Computer games are a pervasive piece of practically all kids’ and young people’s lives, with 97% playing for in any event one hour out of each day in the United States. Most by far of research by analysts on the impacts of “gaming” has been on its negative effect: the potential mischief identified with brutality, enslavement, and sadness. We perceive the estimation of that examination; in any case, we contend that a progressively adjusted point of view is required, one that considers the conceivable negative impacts as well as the advantages of playing these games. Considering these potential advantages is significant, partially, in light of the fact that the idea of these games has changed drastically in the most recent decade, getting progressively mind boggling, assorted, sensible, and social in nature. A little however huge group of research has started to rise, generally over the most recent five years, reporting these advantages. In this article, we condense the exploration on the constructive outcomes of playing computer games, concentrating on four principle areas: psychological, inspirational, passionate, and social. By incorporating bits of knowledge from formative, positive, and social brain science, just as media brain research, we propose some up-and-comer instruments by which playing computer games may cultivate genuine world psychosocial benefits. Our point is to give sufficient proof and a hypothetical reason to motivate new projects of research on the to a great extent unexplored emotional well-being advantages of gaming. At long last, we end with a call to mediation specialists and professionals to test the positive employments of computer games, and we recommend a few promising bearings for doing as such.

49 THE INFLUENCE OF MEDIA IN CHILDREN’S LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT , Dr. Salwa Saeed Al-Harbi
Along with the rise of child-targeted programming became the belief that TV would be a very effective educational tool that could subconsciously or at a subliminal level feed information to the young mind and, with that, vocabulary growth would occur. Much programming was created that dealt with the direct educating of children that tried to create a way of communication with the child as a target. The paper discusses the influence of TV in children’s language development. It investigates the notion that children’s educational TV programs may result in vocabulary learning. It stresses the values of these educational programs, but also emphasizes that TV and other screen media have become a reality of life, and it is wise to utilize them only as a supportive tool for educating children. The interactions of parents co-viewing such programs with their children are necessary to optimize the child’s language learning from TV programs that target children. The paper concludes with the implications of the current research as well as suggestions for further research
50 LANGUAGE REMEDIATION ACROSS TEACHERS’ ORIENTATION IN LANGUAGE DISFLUENCIES , Evelyn C. Bandoy, Mick Mars P. Silvano
Results revealed that the remediating language teachers are moderately aware about language disorders and disfluencies. After the teachers received the orientation, all the indicators had an “extremely aware” adjectival rating. There was a significant increase in the evaluation scores of teacher-respondents before and after the orientation was given. Furthermore, there is a significant difference between the teachers’ level of awareness before and after the orientation. It is evident that the mean scores of students increased by just 0.05. Before the teachers received the orientation, students’ test scores got a mean of 27.07 and 27.12 thereafter. There was no significant difference in the pretest and posttest scores of the student-respondents. There was also no significant positive relationship between the teachers’ level of awareness on language disfluencies and the students academic performance measured in scores, r(38) =.23,p>.15 before the orientation was given to remedial teachers. Before the orientation, the correlation between the teachers’ level of awareness and the students’ level of performance had a small strength of association (r=-0.23). This further means that when teachers’ level of awareness increases, the students’ level of performance decreases and vice versa. After the orientation, it had a large strength of association (r=0.88). This further means that when the teachers’ level of awareness increases, the students’ level of performance also increases and vice versa.
51 ARGUMENT FOR TENURE IN THE AMERICAN HIGHER EDUCATION , Dr. Majed S Allehaibi
The article presents the arguments concerning tenure in academic institutions. Proponents of tenure argue that it protects professors from social sanctions, such as criticism by political or religious powers outside campus that may disagree with the professor’s research findings and thus might pressure the institution to fire him or her. Opponents of tenure argue that the security that comes with tenure allows professors to become incompetent and slothful. After assessing the advantages and disadvantages of tenure, this article concludes that tenure could be an incentive attracting competent faculty members and allowing them to embark on long-term, risky research projects.
