Google Classroom in Graduate Education: Its Effectiveness and Challenges in An Island University in The Central Philippines

This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and challenges in the use of google classroom in Graduate Education at Guimaras State University, an island university in the Central Philippines, for Academic Year 2022-2023. A descriptive research design was used in this study utilizing 330 respondents who were purposively chosen through convenience sampling technique. A researcher-made questionnaire was employed in gathering the data needed. Frequency count, percentage ranking, mean, Mann Whitney U-test, Kruskal Wallis H-test, Chi-square and Spearman’s rho were the statistical tools used and the level of significance was set at .05. It was found out that the use of google classroom in Graduate Education at Guimaras State University was at very high level of effectiveness as assessed by the respondents as a whole and when classified according to age, civil status, course, type of program and status of employment; the graduate students considered the use of google classroom challenging due to lack of high speed internet in the island province; the respondents had varying assessment on the level of effectiveness in the use of google classroom when they were classified according to civil status, course and type of program but similar when they were classified according to age and status of employment. The respondents encountered different challenges when they were classified in terms of their age, course and type of program and encountered similar challenges in the use of google classroom in their graduate studies when they were classified according to their civil status and status of employment; and the effectiveness and challenges in the use of google classroom in the Graduate Education were not significantly related

Interdisciplinarity in the Philippine Academia: Theory, History, and Challenges

Forum Kritika on Interdisciplinarity in the Philippine Academia discusses the history of how universities and academics construct their respective notions of disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity. Our decision to engage with this development in tertiary education takes off from a historical phase in our educational system. Questions on the character of disciplines have heightened in the last half-century, and this phenomenon does not only emerge out of the critical practice of the people who are part of universities, but the external world of the universities have started to knock on the university doors. Informed by the present situation of our universities and the educational system at large, we both argue that both disciplinarity and interdisciplinarity are modern constructs that should be understood by elucidating dialectics of theoretical and historical underpinnings. The tandem of history and theory provides the frames for us to better see the challenges when universities implement such paradigm, and this forum hopes to shed some light to our fellow academics as the Philippines undergo crucial changes, revamps, and overhauls in our educational system

To think the pedagogical theory. Configuration, mediation and uses

El trabajo que se presenta a continuación constituye un ejercicio de problematización conceptual a partir del cual se plantea la importancia de pensar a la teoría pedagógica como configuración, así como las implicaciones que esto tiene en sus usos y las mediaciones que se despliegan en este proceso. Como tal, plantea exigencias específicas relacionadas con el sentido que tiene dicha construcción para pensar el momento histórico que estamos viviendo y el papel del conocimiento en este contexto. Esta cuestión adquiere una dimensión central en ámbitos que, como el educativo, se han caracterizado por la incorporación de esquemas de explicación que reducen la complejidad del fenómeno a aspectos de carácter económico, político, social, ideológico, cultural o psicológico, sin reconocer su especificidad histórica, teórica y epistemológica.The following research constitutes an exercise of conceptual problematization from which the importance of the configuration of pedagogical theory is presented, as well as the implication that this has in its uses and mediations that unfold in this process. As such it lays out specific requests or demands related to the meaning that such construct has so as to think about the historical moment we are living and the role of knowledge in this context. This issue acquires a central dimension in fields, like in the educational one, that have been characterized by the incorporation of explanation diagrams that reduce the complexity of the phenomenon to economic, political, social, ideological, cultural or psychological aspects, without recognizing its historical, theoretical and epistemological specificity.Dossier: Pedagogías del sur: lecturas y prácticas educativas desde una perspectiva latinoamericanaFacultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

Tendencias actuales en el abordaje terapéutico del cáncer colorrectal

El cáncer colorrectal es una patología que está en auge desde hace unos años y que, según pronósticos basados en estudios recientes, continuará aumentando con el tiempo. Esta patología puede ser genética o causada por cambios en el estilo de vida saludable y, debido al aumento de prevalencia, se ha visto la necesidad de encontrar otras alternativas terapéuticas que sean más eficaces en estadios más avanzados de la enfermedad. Estos nuevos fármacos pretenden, a grandes rasgos, disminuir el número de recidivas y aumentar el tiempo de supervivencia libre de progresión en estados muy avanzados de la enfermedad; se presentan así terapias que se emplean tras el fracaso de todas las anteriores

Políticas y reformas educativas en México: tensiones y articulaciones

This article aims to locate some of the organizing principles that have been derived from the first phase of the research project “Policies and educational reforms in the recent history of Mexico, in Latin American context: tensions, forms of articulation and pedagogical alternatives”, which is being carried out at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the UNAM with the support from the General Direction of Academic Staff Affairs in coordination with the program on Alternativas Pedagógicas and Prospectiva Educativa en América Latina (APPeAL). We contextualize some of the arguments developed by the academic members of the research team in Mexico from the various lines of inquiry that were defined as a basis for addressing the issue, and that play out in this study as snapshots of our current analysis. Three of these lines of thought are presented, which focus on historical-genealogical dimensions, and on teachers, evaluation and indigenous education as part of some of the processes that have marked the process of educational reform in our country, particularly under the proposal made by the government of Enrique Peña Nieto.Este artículo tiene como objetivo situar algunos de los referentes ordenadores que han derivado de la primera fase de desarrollo del proyecto de investigación “Políticas y reformas educativas en la historia reciente de México en el contexto latinoamericano: tensiones, formas de articulación y alternativas pedagógicas”, que se realiza en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la UNAM con el apoyo de la Dirección General de Asuntos del Personal Académico en coordinación con el programa Alternativas Pedagógicas y Prospectiva Educativa en América Latina (APPeAL), así como contextualizar parte de las elaboraciones que los académicos integrantes del equipo de investigación de México hemos desarrollado a partir de las diversas líneas de indagación que se definieron como base para el abordaje del tema, y que juegan en este estudio como recortes de observación. En este trabajo se presentan tres de dichas líneas en las cuales se centra la atención en la dimensión histórico-genealógica, los docentes, la evaluación y la educación indígena como parte de algunos de los procesos que han marcado el proceso de reforma educativa en nuestro país, particularmente a partir de la propuesta hecha por el gobierno de Enrique Peña Nieto

Estrés laboral y desempeño de los asesores de banca por teléfono del Banco de Crédito del Perú, distrito de La Esperanza - año 2015
