Volume 03 Issue 04 (2025): November

Volume 03 Issue 04 (November 2025) presents a diverse collection of studies centered on contemporary educational challenges and innovations within the Philippine context. A strong thematic focus is on language, culture, and foundational skills, with investigations into the influence of classroom culture on Filipino majors, assessments of national reading programs (Bawat Bata Bumabasa, Catch-up Fridays), and explorations of language competence and teaching among Education students. Another significant cluster of research examines mathematics and science education, analyzing proficiency trends, critical thinking, learning strategies, and interventions like recreational math or physics simulations to improve student mastery and reduce anxiety. The issue also delves deeply into student experiences and psychological factors, with studies on academic self-concept, creative thinking, the life stories of honor students, and the pressures faced by student journalists. Furthermore, several papers evaluate specific programs and teaching methodologies, such as the National Learning Camp, homeschooling, and various classroom interventions (e.g., the DOST method, color-coding for grammar). Methodologically, the studies prominently feature mixed-methods, case study, and phenomenological approaches, emphasizing qualitative insights into stakeholder experiences alongside quantitative analysis of educational outcomes. Overall, the volume provides a comprehensive snapshot of localized efforts to understand and enhance teaching practices, student learning, and program effectiveness across multiple educational levels.
