Factors Affecting Academic Performance in Araling Panlipunan among Junior High School Learners of Gingoog City

This study examined factors influencing academic performance in Araling Panlipunan, considering both Learners-Related (study habits, learning attitude, subject interest, and environment) and Teacher-Related (commitment and subject knowledge) factors. It focused on students' academic performance during the 2nd and 3rd Quarters of SY 2022-2023 and assessed the correlation between these factors and academic achievement. The research employed a descriptive-correlational design and involved 204 Grade 7 to Grade 10 students from Alfonso Ang Militante Integrated School and BACKKISMI National High School South 2 District Division of Gingoog City. Sample size determination followed Slovin's formula with a 0.05 margin of error, and participants were selected proportionally by grade level. Descriptive statistics, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used for analysis. Findings indicated that students perceived themselves as having strong study habits, positive attitudes toward learning, and a keen interest in the subject. The students also perceived their teachers as highly committed and knowledgeable in Araling Panlipunan. Moreover, students achieved satisfactory grades during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of SY 2022-2023. Notably, a strong positive correlation was found between student-related factors and academic performance in Araling Panlipunan, while a moderate positive correlation existed between teacher-related factors and academic performance in the subject. The study recommends that students enhance their learning strategies, including active engagement and technology utilization, while teachers should create more engaging learning environments using available technology to benefit students and foster communication with parents.

The Influence of Gender on Students’ Academic Achievement in a Nursing Diploma Program

Different from education in general, nursing education is dominated by the female gender both in Indonesia and in the world. There is still debate about whether gender has an influence on student achievement, including in nursing education. Research objective is to find out the influence of gender on the achievement of nursing diploma level students who are dominated by female gender. This research is a quantitative research, namely retrospective descriptive. The population in this study were students of the Nursing Diploma Three Study Program with a sample size of 93 students. The sampling technique used in the research was total sampling. The instrument used in this research is secondary data, namely by looking at the documentation of student gender biodata, and learning achievement is the Cumulative Achievement Index (GPA) from the student’s Study Result Card after graduation. The statistical test used in analyzing this research is the independent t test; with a significance level of 0.05. Based on bivariate analysis, it is known that there is a relationship between gender and learning achievement with a significance value of 0.03 <0.05. The results indicate that there is a difference in the achievement of female students compared to male students. Female students have an average Grade Point Average of 3.51 with honors, while male students have an average Grade Point Average of 3.44 with a satisfactory grade. From the research it is concluded that there is an influence of gender on the achievement of nursing diploma program students.

Emotional Intelligence and Clinical Performance in Psychiatric Nursing Students

Emotional Intelligence (EI) has gained considerable attention in nursing due to its positive effects on nurses' well-being and its beneficial impact on patients and families. Emotional intelligence involves understanding and managing one's own emotions and the emotions of others, which is crucial for nurses who build relationships with patients, families, and healthcare team members. Despite the recognised importance of emotional intelligence, non-academic factors like emotional intelligence are rarely considered in nursing program admissions, with GPA being the primary indicator of academic performance. Given the limited studies on emotional intelligence and academic performance in the Philippines, this study aimed to determine the relationship between nursing students' emotional intelligence and their psychiatric nursing clinical practice performance. This study employed a descriptive correlational design and included a substantial sample of 173 fourth-year nursing students who completed their psychiatric nursing clinical practice and were enrolled in the academic year 2017. Total population sampling was utilised, ensuring a comprehensive representation of the student population. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (Pearson-r) was used to determine the correlation between emotional intelligence and clinical performance. The results, based on these methods, indicated that all respondents had moderate to high levels of emotional intelligence. Nearly half of the respondents achieved a satisfactory grade, with the majority having average to satisfactory performance. Female respondents had slightly higher grades than male respondents, and there was a significant difference in performance based on the respondents' school but not their age. Importantly, there was no significant correlation between emotional intelligence and clinical performance in psychiatric nursing, a finding that was consistent with the literature. This insight is valuable for educators and curriculum developers, as it underscores the need to consider a broader range of factors beyond academic performance in nursing education. It also highlights the importance of providing support and resources to enhance students' emotional intelligence skills. Further research is recommended to explore the role of emotional intelligence in nursing education and consider additional factors that may influence academic and clinical performance.

Islamic Practices and Muslim Students’ Academic Performance

Islam practices are followed by Muslims as religious customs and events to observe affiliation with Islam. The purpose of these practices was meant to boost bond with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala (SWT) and encourage spiritual development. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between Muslim students' perceptions on Islam practices and their academic performance. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design with content analysis using a researcher-made questionnaire which was reliability and validity tested. Descriptive statistics such as Mean, Standard Deviation and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient were utilized to analyze the data collected. Respondents were selected through stratified random sampling using Slovin’s Formula. Results showed that Muslim students abide Islamic Practices like Ramadan, Salah(prayer), and Jumaat (Friday prayer). Muslim students who pray five times a day tend to have a deep sense of gratitude and humility towards Allah. They have very satisfactory grades. Students’ Islamic practices and academic performance have significant correlation. Thus, this study suggests that schools may support the Muslim students in their practices by providing a modified environment in their learning process because the more they are abiding with Islamic practices, the more they strive to become better in their academic performance.

Development of a structured validated module to inculcate research skills in medical undergraduates.

Background Evidence-based research aids in decision-making in the health sector for developing health policies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Medical research is not taught in the undergraduate curriculum. Studies show that attributes of research knowledge, awareness and practical involvement in research are low among undergraduate students. We developed and validated a module and trained undergraduate students in research skills through an inter-ventional workshop using the structured module. Methods We did this participatory action research with a mixed-methods approach in the Department of Community Medicine at Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Bathinda, Punjab. A structured module was developed by the core committee and validated internally and externally. Pilot testing of the module was done by delivering it in the form of a workshop to 46 students. For statistical analysis, percentage agreements, validity indices, median (interquartile range), satisfaction percentages and Wilcoxon sign test were used. Results The structured and validated module was established to have high face validity (>90%) and content validity (CVI=0.975). The module was successfully pilot tested for delivery through both onsite and online modes. The satisfaction percentage with the workshop was 91% and 100% and overall rating of the module was 74% and 91% by interns and MBBS students, and 100% by faculty. The scores of knowledge and skills were found to be significantly higher on all variables post workshop with p<0.001. All students scored satisfactory grades for research skills. Conclusions Teaching research using a structured validated module improved the knowledge and skills related to research among students. Both students and faculty were satisfied with the use of the structured module.

Medical knowledge of ChatGPT in public health, infectious diseases, COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccines: multiple choice questions examination based performance.

At the beginning of the year 2023, the Chatbot Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (ChatGPT) gained remarkable attention from the public. There is a great discussion about ChatGPT and its knowledge in medical sciences, however, literature is lacking to evaluate the ChatGPT knowledge level in public health. Therefore, this study investigates the knowledge of ChatGPT in public health, infectious diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, and its vaccines. Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) bank was established. The question's contents were reviewed and confirmed that the questions were appropriate to the contents. The MCQs were based on the case scenario, with four sub-stems, with a single correct answer. From the MCQs bank, 60 MCQs we selected, 30 MCQs were from public health, and infectious diseases topics, 17 MCQs were from the COVID-19 pandemic, and 13 MCQs were on COVID-19 vaccines. Each MCQ was manually entered, and tasks were given to determine the knowledge level of ChatGPT on MCQs. Out of a total of 60 MCQs in public health, infectious diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccines, ChatGPT attempted all the MCQs and obtained 17/30 (56.66%) marks in public health, infectious diseases, 15/17 (88.23%) in COVID-19, and 12/13 (92.30%) marks in COVID-19 vaccines MCQs, with an overall score of 44/60 (73.33%). The observed results of the correct answers in each section were significantly higher (p = 0.001). The ChatGPT obtained satisfactory grades in all three domains of public health, infectious diseases, and COVID-19 pandemic-allied examination. ChatGPT has satisfactory knowledge of public health, infectious diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, and its vaccines. In future, ChatGPT may assist medical educators, academicians, and healthcare professionals in providing a better understanding of public health, infectious diseases, the COVID-19 pandemic, and vaccines.

Examining the Existence of Cognitive Thresholds in Highly Quantitative College Courses.

While the dominant finding indicates a monotonic relationship between cognitive ability and academic performance, some researchers have suggested the existence of cognitive thresholds for challenging coursework, such that a certain level of cognitive ability is required for reaching a satisfactory level of academic achievement. Given the significance of finding a threshold for understanding the relationship between cognitive ability and academic performance, and the limited studies on the topic, it is worth further investigating the possibility of cognitive thresholds. Using a multi-institutional dataset and the necessary condition analysis (NCA), we attempted to replicate previous findings of cognitive thresholds on the major GPA of mathematics and physics-majored students, as well as the course grade of organic chemistry, to examine whether high SAT math scores constitute a necessary condition for obtaining satisfactory grades in these courses. The results from the two studies do not indicate an absolute cognitive threshold point below which students are doomed to fail regardless of the amount of effort they devote into learning. However, we did find that the chance of students with a low level of quantitative ability to succeed in highly quantitative courses is very small, which qualifies for the virtually necessary condition.

Specificity for improving the efficiency of English language acquisition by IT-Master’s students

Introduction. The authors study the problem of training professionals having sufficient English language proficiency in the modern conditions of globalization of scientific and technological progress and the accompanying international discourse in the field of IT. The purpose of the article is to identify specificity for improving the efficiency of English language acquisition by IT-Master’s students. Materials and Methods. The sample consisted of 94 1st-year Master’s students, majoring in IT, as well as 25 university teachers of English for Professional Purposes with more than 10 years of work experience. The results of the theoretical analysis of the problem were compared with the data obtained from the survey of 76 Master’s students, as well as with the results of a survey of 25 university teachers focusing on the issues of finding ways to improve the efficiency of English for Professional Purposes acquisition. The specific authors methodology called ‘multimedia presentation’ developed on this indicative basis was tested in the course of English for Professional Purposes in an experimental group of IT-Master’s students (n=18). At the same time, a control group of 21 Master’s students were studying standard English for Professional Purposes discipline. The results were processed by means of qualitative analysis and methods of mathematical statistics. Results. Comparison of the data from theoretical analysis and surveys made it possible to identify the criteria, conditions, factors, indicators and levels of increasing the efficiency of English for Professional Purposes acquisition, corresponding to the personal and professional characteristics of MA-students, majoring in IT. On this basis, the ‘multimedia presentation’ technique was developed and implemented in the experimental group of MA-students. A comparative analysis of the indicators of mastering English for Professional Purposes in the control and experimental groups revealed statistically significant differences in the levels of these indicators. Statistically significant data have shown that the experimental group had more master’s students who achieved high performance, whereas the control group included more postgraduates, who did not rise above the average level in their performance. As one of the possible interpretations of the data obtained, an assumption about the dominance of motives that are different in essence and formed in each group was made. As a result, in the experimental group, procedural motives could grow, creating enthusiasm for the learning process, which allowed participants to demonstrate high indicators. In the control group, only external stimuli could dominate. In the absence of significant enthusiasm for the learning process, this became a subjective justification for the MA-students’ acceptability of a satisfactory grade. Conclusions. The developed methodological tools statistically significantly increase the efficiency of English for Professional Purposes acquisition by initiating procedural motives for learning in Master’s students. The proposed trajectory of increasing the effectiveness of these processes can be considered as a tentative basis for constructing methods for teaching English for Professional Purposes to specialists, who in many respects have already developed as individuals and as professionals.

EXAMINING THE IMPACT OF SINGLE PARENTING ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

This study aimed at knowing the relationship between single parenting, particularly the level of involvement of single parents, and the academic performance of their children who are in high school level. The study employed a quantitative method, specifically a correlational design, and through purposive sampling, 42 Junior High School (JHS) respondents were surveyed in one of the diocese schools in Baguio-Benguet. The researchers used a survey questionnaire to gather data; all the information was statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Pearson correlation coefficient. Based on the findings, it was found that single parents had a high level of involvement in terms of giving words of wisdom or moral support but not in physical actions, particularly in attending school activities. However, the respondents showed good academic performances based on their satisfactory grades. Nevertheless, it was revealed that there was a weak negative correlation between single parenting and the academic performances of the respondents. Therefore, it is imperative to note that too much meddling by single parents with their children can lower their academic performances.

Study of Functional Outcome and Postoperative Complications Among Proximal Humerus Fracture Patients Treated With Proximal Humerus Internal Locking System (PHILOS) Plating.

Background Proximal humerus fractures comprise nearly 4%-5% of all fracture types and nearly 25% of fracture humerus. These fractures are commonly seen in the elderly population (people aged 60 years or more). The best way to treat elderly people who have three- or four-part fractures of the proximal humerus is debatable, with many in favour of prosthetic humeral head replacements. This study aimed to assess the functional outcome of proximal humerus fractures managed with a proximal humerus locking plate and to investigate the incidence of complications in these patients. Methodology This retrospective study included 32 cases of proximal humerus fractures managed surgically at a tertiary care teaching hospital in Rajasthan between July 2016 to July 2022 with a proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) plate. NEER scoring system was used to categorise the fractures. Functional assessment was done using Constant Murley's shoulder score. Constant Murley shoulder score was graded as failure (0-69 points), unsatisfactory (70-79), satisfactory (80-89), and excellent (90-100). Subjects having metastatic and pathological fractures; associated fractures in the ipsilateral limb; having major nerve injury and cases of open fracture were excluded from this study. Results The mean age was 54.5±6.4 years. Of the total 32 cases of proximal humerus fractures, 12 cases of two-part fractures received an excellent grade, compared to seven cases of three-part fractures. Three two-part fracture cases and two three-part fracture cases all received satisfactory grades. Excellent results (score > 89) were noticed in 62.5% (n = 20) of the instances, satisfactory results (scoring 80-89) in 21.87% (n=7), poor results (score 70-79) in 9.38% (n=3), and failure results (score 70) in 6.25% (n=2). In 65.6% of cases, follow-up showed no complications. Shoulder stiffness and malunion (9.38%) were the most frequent consequences, followed by avascular necrosis (6.25%). Conclusions Based on the findings of this retrospective study, it can be opined that PHILOS plaiting appears to be a secure option for proximal humerus fracture cases. It offers solid fixation, prompt mobilisation, and excellent functional outcomes as observed in this study. Additionally, very few post-operative complication rates again support our conclusion.
