CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND E-COMMERCE EXPERIENCE OF THE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

E-commerce is popular among teenagers throughout the country. Shopping online is advantageous for consumers but also carries higher risks than shopping personally. When online stores provide products that do not exceed the customers expectations, that will lead to customer dissatisfaction. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the significant relationship between the two variables, the customer satisfaction and the e-commerce experience of the senior high school students. The researchers used a descriptive correlation non-experimental quantitative research method. A stratified random sampling of 108 responses collected across the Rizal Memorial Colleges senior high school department, and the entire data collection and analysis process took about two weeks. Furthermore, a modified survey questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents, and all of the data was analyzed appropriately with the assistance of a competent statistician. According to the findings, Information and Website Design have the highest value of all indicators of the two variables, implying that these two are the most affected factors when it comes to online shopping. The findings also revealed that the level of customer satisfaction and the e-commerce experience was high and often evident. The correlation between the two variables was moderately high positive (r = 0.728), which ended up rejecting the studys null hypothesis. The analysis of the findings confirmed that students who are pleased with their online shopping experience have a high level of e-commerce experience. As a result, the researchers suggested that people who like to shop online must be aware of all the risks that may arise and cause them to be dissatisfied with the product.

This study aimed to unveil the burden of NMU of stimulants and examine associated correlates among senior high school and university students in Jordan. We describe a cross-sectional study of senior high school and university students in Jordan assessing NMU of stimulants. Data were collected between January and April of 2022 through a survey, which was distributed online leading to a google forms page. The survey queried sociodemographic characteristics, history of NMU of stimulants, use of other illicit substances, attitudes toward NMU of stimulants, as well as a mental health assessment. A total of 8739 students completed the survey (mean age of 20.40 ± 2.45 years), of which 5.1% reported a lifetime NMU of stimulants. Fenethylline (Captagon) was the most widely reported stimulant (2.6%). Living in the southern region, being diagnosed with a personality disorder, and using concomitant illicit substances were associated with the NMU of stimulants. The NMU of CNS stimulants, especially fenethylline, is prevalent in Jordan. More surveillance ought to be heeded toward the southern borders of Jordan. Students who use stimulants for academic reasons must be made aware of the potential consequences of the NMU of stimulants.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices (KAPs) on COVID-19 of junior and senior high school students

During the COVID-19 pandemic, students faced increased risk of contracting the virus due to the relaxation of health protocols by the Philippine government and the authorization of face-to-face instruction in schools by the Department of Education. There is little data on basic education school students' awareness of COVID-19 in the Philippines, particularly in Cebu City. A cross-sectional descriptive-correlational research design was utilized to determine junior and senior high school students' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding COVID-19. In this study, a survey questionnaire was used to compare and attempt to identify relationships between the demographic profile of students and their KAPs regarding COVID-19. This study also investigated the relationships between students' KAPs. JHS and SHS students exhibited outstanding KAPs for COVID-19. Students' demographic characteristics, including grade level and family income, were significantly associated with their KAPs toward the disease. However, their gender was not significantly associated with their KAPs. There was a significant relationship between students' COVID-19 KAPs. It is imperative that the DepEd develop strategies and programs to combat the situation due to pandemic and prepare for similar situations in future. With the aid of curriculum designers, science educators must adapt the science education curriculum to address current and future health concerns.
