    Course experience as the predictor of career personal efficacy
    (Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science, 2024) Cerveza, Ryan L.; Laguardia, Jan Kenneth R.; Lapinid, Minie Rose C.
    Despite the proliferation of the culture of accreditation in the country, accreditation evaluations fail to capture authentic student course experience. This study aimed to assess the students’ course experience as to how it can contribute to increasing their career personal efficacy when employed in the work field. The 70 respondents were the education graduates of the college of education of a certain university in the past 6 years. The hierarchical multiple regression (HMR) was used to determine which of these domains can explain a statistically significant amount of variance to the career personal efficacy of the respondents. Correlation analysis r and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) were also employed to determine the relationships of the domains of course experience to career personal efficacy. Results revealed a high correlation between the six domains of course experience and career personal efficacy with good teaching, and clear goals and standards as the best factors among the domains of course experience which can predict career personal efficacy. It is recommended that administrators and policymakers should look into these two domains of the course experience to plan for the development goals of colleges and universities. © 2024, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

    Development and validation of interactive lessons in selected topics in chemistry
    (Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2015-03) Laguardia, Jan Kenneth R.
    The Philippines lags behind other countries in student performance in Chemistry which can be attributed to low mastery of Chemistry concepts and inadequacy of instructional materials. Thus, this study focused on the development and validation of interactive lessons in high school Chemistry. It used the descriptive and developmental method of research and the questionnaire as a tool for gathering data. To determine the level of adequacy of the instructional materials in schools from the Second District of La Union, a questionnaire was administered to 20 teacher respondents. A Chemistry Proficiency Test was administered to 200 student respondents to determine least mastered topics. The interactive resource material which was rated “passed” was validated by five Chemistry experts and two IT experts. Findings showed that interactive instructional materials in Chemistry were inadequate; hence, the need to develop one, and that most topics in Chemistry were least mastered; hence, the need for intervention. The developed interactive lessons passed the evaluation for Non-Print Materials which means that it can be used for classroom instruction and be tested for effectiveness.
