VLOGGING AND MEMES AS TOOLS FOR ENHANCING THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE IN ONLINE CHINESE LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION IN TRINIDAD & TOBAGO
This study examines the fundamental role of vlogging and memes in enhancing the online learning experience for adult Mandarin Chinese learners in Trinidad and Tobago. As digital tools become increasingly central to foreign language education, more innovative and technologically driven strategies like vlogging in the target language and meme creation offer dynamic opportunities to engage L2 learners, make the language acquisition process more enjoyable, and address common challenges in learning Mandarin Chinese. Through a mixed-methods approach, this research combines questionnaires and the analysis of student- created vlogs and memes to explore learners' experiences, challenges, and perceived benefits of these activities. Data collected from the questionnaires will shed light on improvements in pronunciation, vocabulary retention, fluency, and confidence, while also identifying challenges such as pronunciation difficulties, vocabulary selection, and technical issues. Preliminary findings indicate that vlogging fosters increased speaking confidence and fluency, while meme creation enhances vocabulary retention and cultural understanding. By integrating creative and interactive digital strategies, this study highlights the potential to enrich online Mandarin instruction, making it more engaging, learner-centered, and effective in addressing language acquisition challenges.

ADAPTING SCIENCE TEACHING STRATEGIES IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID- 19 PANDEMIC
The unforeseen emergence of the global pandemic due to COVID-19 impacted different sectors of our society, including education. The immediate response of higher education institutions in the world including the Philippines, is to shift the mode of learning from traditional face-to-face (F2F) to purely online and, presently, blended learning. The study employed a qualitative approach using phenomenological research. The analysis method used is thematic analysis. The experiences of the key participants elucidated the following themes: a.) student-centered and teacher-centered strategies resulting to an overarching theme-Reflecting on past experiences, b.) resilience and innovation resulting in an overarching theme-Moving forward, and c.) online practices and F2F practices which resulted in an overarching theme-Blended learning. The pandemic fashioned the selected science faculty with a certain level of resilience and innovation in their teaching strategies during the transition, which is a reflection that the faculty and the institution as whole are willing to adapt, change, and move forward. Implications for the present educational practice, future research, and policy on blended learning are also provided.

LINGUISTIC SECURITY IN ONLINE LEARNING: IMPROVING ASSESSMENT DESIGN FOR THE WRITING PROCESS
This study examines how revising assessment language can foster linguistic security in a first-year online Spanish Basic Writing course. Student perceptions of two short-answer items that had repeatedly underperformed were analyzed, asking whether the prompts’ wording –rather than their linguistic content– was provoking confusion or discomfort. A post-test questionnaire captured immediate reactions to each item’s clarity and perceived relevance, along with self-reported reasons for dissatisfaction. Findings show unanimous dissatisfaction with both prompts and distinct patterns across reasons, pointing to clarity issues in a syntax item and discomfort related to stigmatizing terminology in a speech-levels task. Guided by these patterns, revisions were introduced that neutralize affective content, align prompts with the taught scope, and make the requested operation explicit, such as naming the syntactic category or identifying the register mismatch. The scoring guide was also recalibrated to separate mastery of linguistic content from success at interpreting the prompt, and a brief communication was prepared for students explaining the changes to promote transparency and trust. The approach illustrates how a concise, course- embedded perception check can reveal construct-irrelevant barriers and guide targeted wording changes that protect validity. The process is practical for instructors who manage online basic-writing assessments and can be replicated in similar courses seeking to strengthen linguistic security while maintaining cognitive demand.

IMPACT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION ON BUSINESS EDUCATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TRADITIONAL AND ONLINE LEARNING APPROACHES IN NIGERIA
Abstract: The development of digital technology has transformed how firms work, resulting in a dramatic shift in the skills and knowledge required for success in today's business climate. Consequently, business education has had to adapt to these developments to remain relevant. In Nigeria, the conventional face-to-face method of learning has been the predominant mode of instruction in business education. However, as digital technology has been more widely used, online learning has become an appealing option. The impact of digital transformation on business education has been a highly debated topic in recent times, particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. Thus, this study aims to compare the traditional and online learning approaches in order to understand the effects of digital transformation on business education in Nigeria. A sample of 351 online and traditional learning environment students was surveyed using purposive sampling. The study used structural equation modeling (SEM) and multi-group analysis (MGA) for data analysis. The result shows that the direct relationship analysis revealed a significant positive impact of digital transformation on business education indicating that the adoption of digital technologies significantly enhances educational outcomes. Furthermore, the MGA results, which compared path coefficients between online and traditional groups, showed a small difference suggesting a consistent impact of digital transformation across both learning modalities. These findings show the importance of integrating digital transformation strategies in educational institutions to improve the quality of business education universally, regardless of the learning environment. This study provides valuable insights for educational policymakers and administrators, advocating for continued investment in digital technologies to foster improved educational experiences and outcomes.

META-ANALYSIS ON ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS FOR INTEGRATION IN RADIO, TELEVISION, AND ELECTRONIC WORK PROGRAMME
Enterprise skills required for self-reliance and wealth creation are crucial for survival in any nation. The gap between the enterprise skill needs and Radio, Television, and Electronic Work (RTEW) students’ skills exists due to insufficient curriculum adopted in technical colleges. Although entrepreneurial skills are discovered effective but have not been implemented in RTEW trade curriculum in Nigeria. This has led to RTEW students graduating from Nigerian technical colleges without the needed enterprise skills that will effectively equip them for the world of work. Hence, there is need to investigate entrepreneurial skills suitable for inclusion into RTEW trade curriculum to trim the problem of skills shortages among RTEW students at technical colleges levels. As such, meta-analysis of entrepreneurial skills was conducted with the purpose of sieving desired entrepreneurial skills needed for integration into the curriculum of Radio, Television and Electronics Work trade in Nigerian technical colleges. The research design of the study is meta-analysis. The methodology in meta-analysis involved development of research question; forming criteria; search strategy including data bases and manual searching; protocol registration; title, abstract, and full text screening; extracting and checking data; quality assessment of data; statistical analysis; and manuscript writing. The sample of the study were 10 different scholarly articles. The rational for selecting 10 studies was that they were meaningfully pooled and their results were sufficiently similar. In addition, similar degree of evidences was provided by the 10 studies chosen. The Scope of the study was limited to databases such Science Direct and JSTOR, though local conferences conducted in Nigeria were also consulted for data gathering. Descriptive statistics is employed for analysis of data gathered from the present study. However, it was discovered that the results of the meta-analysis of literature conducted revealed that the main focus of this research was on enterprise skills that included entrepreneurial awareness, qualities of entrepreneurs, self and paid employment, ethics in life and business, business ideas and opportunities, starting and operating a business, and business plans, among others. Thus, enterprise skills were needed in the Radio, Television, and Electronic Work trade curriculum due to their focus on identification of various opportunities which help develop and implement business concepts. In the context of the present study, discoveries are synonymous with the findings of the study. Therefore, the discoveries in this study are regarded as results which are recommended for inclusion in future curriculum review of RTEW trade in technical colleges of Nigeria. Importantly, the implication of the results is to overcome potential challenges encountered in the job market and guide for effective curriculum design in Radio, Television, and Electronic Programme in order to help students in developing the necessary skills needed for successful employment after graduation so that they could contribute to the sustainable development of Nigeria.

THE ANALYSIS OF THE ORAL PROFICIENCY SKILLS OF THE THREE SPECIALIZATION MAJORS IN THE RESEARCH COURSE
The research course, oral thesis defense abilities determined research success. Text and defense go together. Panel examiners reviewed 34 English, Mathematics, and Science student papers for Teacher Education's secondary education thesis proposal defense. Advisors, researchers, and three-panel examiners—the chairman, data analyst, field expert, and technical expert—rated the work. ANOVA parametric test was used since the normality scale p-value is 0.968 and the variances in all five areas—organization, content, speaking skills, question response, and confidence and personality—are more than 0.05. Comparison of oral proficiency to specialization course. Student specialization did not affect oral proficiency (p=0.075, mean=66.90%), however three of five were relevant. Content, answers, confidence, and personality varied by expertise. Scheffe's assessment indicated that third-year Math and Science students performed equally in oral proficiency but differently from English majors. It's amazing that English huge research groups fared worse than the two. The program needs improve since English majors may struggle in the three areas. All three majors had the same organization (p=0.060, mean=67.06%) and speaking ability (p=0.096, mean=65.29) since the other three categories were great but not significant. The study may help research facilitators, advisers, the department, and the research office boost student research by focusing on thesis defense oral abilities.

EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF THE FREE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION REVIEW PROGRAM: A CITY COLLEGE OF CALAMBA AND CITY GOVERNMENT COLLABORATION
A local college demonstrated its commitment to social responsibility by offering a free civil service review program, aiming to build the capacity of local government employees and the community, aligning with the college's mission to drive positive change. This study assessed the sustainability of this community extension program, specifically the joint CCC-CGC Civil Service review, where initially 303 participants registered, with 184 completing the survey, and their profiles were analyzed based on sex, civil status, age, and employment location. The evaluation covered four key areas: overall assessment, reviewers, lecture materials, and the review program itself, with statistical analysis using ANOVA conducted to determine differences in evaluations across these areas, revealing a normal distribution (Shapiro-Wilk p = 0.973) and homogeneity of variances (p = 0.725). Overall, participants rated all four areas as "very satisfactory," however, two significant findings emerged: evaluations of the reviewers’ area differed significantly (p = 0.028) between CGC employees and participants from outside Calamba, and the evaluation of the program's benefits and convenience varied significantly (p = 0.019) across age groups, particularly with participants aged 38-42 and 52-57 rating this aspect as only "satisfactory." The study recommends continuing the program while addressing identified weaknesses, specifically improvements in lecture materials and extended program duration, and suggests future research should explore the program's impact on actual Civil Service exam scores.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS’ ONTOGENIC OBSTACLES IN SOLVING SOLID GEOMETRY PROBLEMS VIEWED FROM SPATIAL ABILITY
Many students have difficulties understanding the topic of solid geometry due to their limited knowledge, commonly called ontogenic obstacles. This study aims to investigate what ontogenic obstacles arise when students solve solid geometry problems based on spatial ability indicators. A qualitative with case study approach was applied in this study. Participants of this study were 44 twelve graders in one of the public high schools in Serang, Indonesia. Data collection was carried out through a test consisting of 3 questions related to prerequisite material and 3 questions on solid geometry problems based on spatial ability indicators, observations and interviews with students. The results show that ontogenic obstacles found in this study include psychological, instrumental, and conceptual ontogenic obstacles. First is psychological ontogenic obstacles that occur when students do not like mathematics, so they easily forget the material they have learned. Second is instrumental ontogenic obstacles that occur when students are less prepared in understanding the distance concepts of solid geometry such as distance between point-to-point, point-to-line, and point-to-plane so students are mistaken in solving solid geometry problems based on spatial ability indicators. Third is conceptual ontogenic obstacles that occur when some students do not understand arithmetic operations, so they are confused in solving arithmetic operations related to the problem. Then overall, the ontogenic obstacles that are most often experienced by students include constructing solid figures into the appropriate plane figures, constructing plane figures that are as expected, and completing arithmetic operations.

LEARNING GEOMETRY AND ALGEBRA: ETHNOMATHEMATICS ON THE GRAND MOSQUE OF ALJABBAR
This study aims to explore the concepts of geometry and algebra used in mosque buildings using a qualitative approach to ethnographic methods. This study uses the Grand Mosque of Al-Jabbar as a sample located in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia, because the mosque since its inauguration has invited public enthusiasm by presenting a new history of beautiful and magnificent mosque architecture. Triangulation techniques were used to generate valid data through observation, documentation (photos and videos), interview, and literature studies in the form of studies on building structures. The results of this study show that the building structures of the Grand Mosque of Al-Jabbar contain elements of plane geometry, namely triangle, square, rectangle, hexagon, and circle. There are also elements of three-dimensional geometry, namely, pyramid, prism, and tube. The concept of number patterns can be found in the arrangement of mosque domes which have patterns 1, 2, 4, 5, 10. Based on this, the construction of the Grand Mosque of Al-Jabbar contains geometry and algebra concepts that can be used as an alternative to contextual learning, so that students can know the meaning of mathematics learned at school and have the ability to solve problems in real life. Ethnomathematics learning can also be applied through online learning.

ENHANCING GEOMETRICAL DIMENSIONING AND TOLERANCING PROFICIENCY: A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO TRAINING AND LEARNING
Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) is a complex and detailed system used to communicate the design and manufacturing requirements of a part. GD&T is essential for the manufacturing industry as it ensures that parts are manufactured to the required specifications, reduces manufacturing errors and improves quality, simplifies communication between designers, manufacturers, and quality control personnel. Many technical schools and universities do not provide comprehensive training on GD&T, leaving students with limited exposure to the subject. This can make it challenging to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to become proficient in GD&T. GD&T requires practical application to gain proficiency, and it can be challenging to find opportunities to practice in a real-world setting. Learning Geometrical Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) merely on a theoretical basis is not sufficient to become proficient in it. GD&T is a system that requires practical application to gain proficiency. This paper provides a review of teaching method used in a practical session designed for GD&T training and learning at a private technical institution. The finding from the review process will be used to conceptualise an effective pedagogy for GD&T training and learning.

LEARNING DYADIC DATA AND PREDICTING UNACCOMPLISHED CO-OCCURRENT VALUES BY MIXTURE MODEL
Dyadic data which is also called co-occurrence data (COD) contains co-occurrences of objects where these objects are indexed and grouped into two finite sets. It is necessary to model dyadic data by applied mathematical tools because dyadic data analysis is interesting and important to many applications relating to indexed two-dimensional data such as image processing and recommendation collaborative filtering. Fortunately, finite mixture model is a solid statistical model to learn and make inference on dyadic data because mixture model is built smoothly and reliably by expectation maximization (EM) algorithm which is suitable to inherent spareness of dyadic data. This research summarizes mixture models for dyadic data, in which there are three well-known models such as symmetric mixture model (SMM), asymmetric mixture model (AMM), and product-space mixture model (PMM) which are described by beautiful mathematical proofs and explanations derived from EM algorithm. Objects in traditional dyadic data are indexed as categories and so their potential real values are concerned because of potential applications and extensions of dyadic data analysis. For instance, when each co-occurrence in dyadic data is associated with a real value, there are many unaccomplished values because a lot of co-occurrences are inexistent. In the research, these unaccomplished values are estimated as mean (expectation) of random variable given partial probabilistic distributions inside dyadic mixture model. This estimation result is solid due to support of EM algorithm.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE FREE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION REVIEW PROGRAM ON THE PRE- AND POST-TEST MODEL OF REVIEW ATTENDEES’ PERFORMANCE
employees when the majority had formal schooling more than years ago. Also, due to time constraints and a large amount of material to be covered, providing feedback for examination takers before and after lectures can help inform lecturers about the level of knowledge gained by them and improve the effectiveness of their lectures in the next waves of the CCC-CGCs joint free civil service review program. The study aims to determine the extent of knowledge gained by civil service examination takers through pre- and post-test-based examinations. The original 303 registered participants in the program were deduced to 261 who completed the 8-Saturday Review program and voluntarily took the post-test examination. Parallel tests were given at the beginning and end of the program to assess the effectiveness of the didactic lecture. There is a significant increase in scores after the review session at p, it meant that the program helped them increase their receptive power through the pre-and post-lecture knowledge. However, this percentage of scores was not reaching yet the passing score defined by the civil service commission with a mean score of 54% against the national passing standard percentage of 80%. The study looked also at attendance proportion with the (p=0.392; n=261) and hence this factor was not related to the scores they got. Results were analyzed through paired t-test and Pearson correlation along with the Shapiro-Wilk p-value of 0.934. This joint project is of great help to the prospective takers of the civil service commission examination and recommended continuing the project initiated by the City College of Calamba (CCC) supported by the City Government of Calamba (CGC).

COMPETENCY IMPROVEMENT OF INCLUSIVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS THROUGH THE MENTORING PROGRAM
Didactic lectures are a widely accepted method of teaching and learning, especially for government employees when the majority had formal schooling more than years ago. Also, due to time constraints and a large amount of material to be covered, providing feedback for examination takers before and after lectures can help inform lecturers about the level of knowledge gained by them and improve the effectiveness of their lectures in the next waves of the CCC-CGCs joint free civil service review program. The study aims to determine the extent of knowledge gained by civil service examination takers through pre-and post-test-based examinations. The original 303 registered participants in the program were deduced to 261 who completed the 8-Saturday Review program and voluntarily took the post-test examination. Parallel tests were given at the beginning and end of the program to assess the effectiveness of the didactic lecture. There is a significant increase in scores after the review session at p≤0.000, it meant that the program helped them increase their receptive power through the pre-and post-lecture knowledge. However, this percentage of scores was not reaching yet the passing score defined by the civil service commission with a mean score of 54% against the national passing standard percentage of 80%. The study looked also at attendance proportion with the p>0.05(p=0.392; n=261) and hence this factor was not related to the scores they got. Results were analyzed through paired t-test and Pearson correlation along with the Shapiro-Wilk p-value of 0.934. This joint project is of great help to the prospective takers of the civil service ommission examination and recommendedcontinuing the project initiated by the City College of Calamba (CCC) supported by the City Government of Calamba (CGC).

“THE CCC OPLAN KALINGA: A BRIDGE TO WISDOM THROUGH FREE CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATION REVIEW FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS OF LGU CALAMBA”: A FACTORIAL MANOVA ANALYSIS
The civil Service Commission Republic of the Philippines' tagline is to convert every public employee into a heroic public servant and its constitutional mandate is to promote morale, efficiency, integrity, responsiveness, progressiveness, and courtesy in the Civil Service. Now, to begin these goals, every public employee has to pass the examination professionalizing mandate known as the Civil Service Examination (CSE). However, the problem exists if the employees are in the service for a long time but have the difficulty passing the exam, hence, the City College of Calamba, one of the city governments’ arms in community development, launched its very first “CCC Oplan Kalinga” catering a free 6-week review to registered-examinees for April 2022 schedule exam. The project primarily aims to help the examinees (employees) to refresh their courses to align with the coverage of the exam. From the review, the VPEL office formulated a study in determining if there is a significant difference in the diagnostic and post-test results of the review and test what underlying factor may affect the actual examination according to profile. The study used a pre-posttest design, reviewers who completed the training was 89, and improvement in the performance was evident via paired t-test at a p-value = 0.000. Moreover, among the three tested factors, using a two-way multivariate analysis of variance (Factorial MANOVA) only the civil status has a significant difference in their CSE post-test results at a p-value of 0.015. Also, with a significant interaction between civil status and age bracket at a p-value of 0.047. In other words, there are no significant differences in the mean scores according to age bracket alone but will be significant if the two factors together were considered such as the civil status and age bracket. The project became successful since the difference in tests was evident and hence recommended having a continuity CSE review program. Moreover, the scores will be may be used again to further study after the release of the actual CSE results who took the review.

Assessing Teaching Strategies of Stem Courses During Covid-19 Pandemic: A Comparison Study in Performance and Learning Experience Between Synchronous and Asynchronous Learning Mode in Higher Institution
The COVID-19 crisis has forced lecturers around the world to shift from traditional into computer screens classroom. Here, various teaching strategies adopted to support this adhoc virtual learning environment. Despite the various efforts to solve the challenges among the different teaching strategies implemented, the efficiency of the strategies is still questionable. Hence, the aim of this study is to investigate the most suitable teaching strategies for STEM online education. This study presents a comparison of two different learning modes, synchronous and asynchronous mode, in terms of students' performance and learning experience in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) courses. Two STEM courses were selected: engineering and programming course. The study randomly assigned students to one of two conditions: (i) taking the course in synchronous mode - class conducted in real-time mode with lecturers via online meetings and (ii) taking the same course in asynchronous mode – online materials being provided in advance such as pre-recorded video content. Here, the course content (learning outcomes, course topics required literature and assessment) were identical for all students. Next, all students sit for an (i) assessment to assess their mastery of the course content, (ii) completed an entrance-exit survey and (iii) a self-reported satisfaction questionnaire about their learning experience and satisfaction. Content analysis has been conducted to see the relationship between student scores, learning experience and satisfaction. The results showed that there are differences of a correlation between these three factors. This study contributes to identifying the most suitable teaching strategy as well as increasing the efficiency of online learning in the context of STEM education in higher institutions.

The Impact of Prior Knowledge on Adolescents' Sexual and Reproductive Health Behavior Amidst the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Case of Kakamega County, Kenya
Adolescents (aged between 10 and 19 years) go through significant physical, physiological, and psychosocial changes from childhood to adulthood during this period. There are indications that during the COVID-19 pandemic, adolescents experienced a myriad of challenges as reported by various forms of media. These challenges included teenage pregnancies/ motherhood and early marriages amongst girls, drug and substance abuse, and other social deviancies that came with devastating consequences, notably a surge in school dropout, which shuttered their dreams for a better future. During the outreach activities by the African Women in Science and Engineering (AWSE), MMUST chapter, a gap for research in the realm of Sexual and Reproductive Health of adolescents was established, necessitating this study. The objective guided the study: To establish how prior Knowledge on Sexual and Reproductive Health (ASRH) shaped their behavior in the wake of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The study adopted a Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach, drawing on the strengths of both quantitative and qualitative paradigms, with a sample of 340 adolescents. The sampling techniques employed were multi-stage, purposive, stratified, and simple random sampling. The data collection tools included questionnaires, interviews schedules, and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and inferentially using SPSS version 20 while qualitative data were analyzed thematically and used in triangulating quantitative findings. Results showed that 90% of adolescents had Knowledge of sexual and reproductive health, an indication that there was a10% knowledge gap. Significant differences were recorded across gender (Chi=4.715, p=0.030); age (Chi=8.775, p=0.012); religion (Chi=10.204, p=0.017) and education level (Chi=14.338, p=0.008), among others. Results further showed that Knowledge on ASRH had a positive impact on adolescents' behavior as a smaller proportion (34.3%) of those with the Knowledge engaged in sexual relationships, compared to 42.9% of those without the Knowledge. This however, did not translate to better behavior as manifested in a surge in unsafe abortions, failure to embrace contraception, and inability to seek appropriate medical care. The study therefore recommends development and implementation of appropriate regulatory frameworks and policies to empower youth through appropriate education programs in order to mitigate the risks and challenges encountered by adolescents.

Controlling The Spread of Covid-19 In Nigeria Educational Institutions Using Supervised Regression Based Polynomial Model of Degree 4
Coronavirus is a highly infectious disease, caused by the new Corona virus (COVID-19) and can spread from person to person through sneezing and coughing droplets. It has signs and symptoms, similar to the common cold but is dangerous and if not reported early and managed by health workers it can cause severe illness in humans and can lead to death. The disease has affected every sector of the economy, including the education sector, as a result, the education sector has devised new methods of delivering teaching and learning in the post COVID-19 era. Therefore, the need to control the spread of the virus cannot be overemphasized. This paper uses Object Oriented Methodology to analyze, design a machine learning system, which was implemented using a python interpreter and a python Integrated Development Environment (IDE) called pycharm. The implementation uses Polynomial Regression model, which is a supervised regression based machine learning model that can be used to control the spread of the virus by predicting the number of incidence of COVID-19 infections and deaths in Nigeria. Sample data dating from 23rd December 2021 to 8th May 2022 was used, which gave a high accuracy of 93% in COVID-19 confirmed cases and 100% accuracy in death cases. They both predicted low trend of COVID-19 death cases and confirmed cases in Nigeria in the next one month. This prediction will be very useful to health and government authorities in Nigeria, which have the responsibility of controlling the spread of the virus in Nigeria. It will help them to know how to adopt the various COVID-19 protocols in Nigeria.
