Schools’ stakeholders are the most affected during this time of the pandemic. They are mostly the ones at a loss and are the ones sacrificing, may it be either academically, financially, or both. The different gathered data aimed to provide clarity on the issues and provide propositions on how to conduct the schools’ organic functions, possibly during and after the pandemic. In this study, a total of 220 participants came from 44 different schools. The study employed a concurrent-triangulation research design in which an online survey was sent to the participants. Also, teachers coming from international schools and schools outside the Philippines were contacted to have them share their experiences in regards to how their schools handle the situation. Lastly, document analysis was also utilized as a data-gathering procedure. Hence, a model focusing on six factors, namely: ICT Literacy Training, Stakeholder’s Educational Equity, Re-engineering of Teacher’s Mindset, Pedagogical Innovation, Re-designing of the Curriculum, and Re-evaluation of Assessments and Grading System was proposed.

The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic as a massive global concern has brought unprecedented challenges in different sectors of the world. One of it is education which posed as one of the most vulnerable sectors significantly impacted by it. This phenomenon changed the mode of instructional delivery and the viewpoint of education stakeholders on the kind of learning continuity applicable to the learners amidst the looming uncertainty brought about by the health crisis. Using phenomenology, this study explored the voices of public Science school teachers regarding their instructional dilemmas to adapt in the demands of the new normal teaching and learning. Findings uncovered seven emerging emotional themes capped as HOPEFUL: Hard-working and dedicated; Optimistic amidst uncertainty; Problematic yet reflective; Evenhandedness in responsibilities; Frightened but ready; Undisruptive desire to reach; and Life-long learner. Despite the evident uncertainties of the situation, this paper describes the experiences of the Science teachers in their response to their mission of shaping today’s generation towards undisruptive education.

Radiologic Education has substantially changed throughout the years and has certain advancements that have left the country catching on. It has transitioned from analog to digital imaging, which considerably left developing countries behind. Consequently, general radiography practices are assumed to differ from the previous years. Employing a sequential explanatory research design, the study looked into the radiologic interns' competencies in specific parameters such as preparation, patient care and management; positioning; and image acquisition and processing. Using a researchermade questionnaire, 50 radiologic interns from four academic year batches were invited to participate in the study. Interpreted responses are cross-referenced through the interview data that were gathered from 12 participants, equally representing each batch. The study also probed the interns' general learning preference using the VARK questionnaire. Both of the questionnaires underwent Cronbach Alpha Test of Reliability. The data was probed and analyzed using Regression Analysis; to which the research findings gave an inference that the learning preferences positively affect the clinical competencies of the radiologic interns, providing the institution a broader perspective on improving the interns’ educative capacity. It also strengthens the Radiologic Technology program, giving importance to the three generated themes: Rehearsals of procedures, Application more than Theories, and Demonstration of Skills.
