Educational Research and Resource Center - ERRC

The ERRC Research Team conducted data-gathering activities from December 10 to 12, 2025, in San Francisco, Cebu as part of the ongoing fieldwork for the 2025 GAA-funded research projects spearheaded by the Center. The team visited the Cebu Technological University–San Francisco Campus through the kind assistance of Ma’am Chembelyn G. Bayon, Chair of the Research and Development Office, and the Campus Director, Dr. Jonita Literatus.

Additionally, the research team conducted community-level data-gathering activities in Barangay Northern Poblacion and Tulang Diot, Barangay Esperanza. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Hon. Ruel L. Fabroa, Barangay Captain of Northern Poblacion, and Hon. Nerisa L. Arquillano, Barangay Captain of Esperanza, for their invaluable support in the conduct of the study. We also express our sincere appreciation to Barangay Councilor Jhaymar M. Almacin of Barangay Esperanza, Barangay Treasurer Mr. Clifford Ibarra, Ma’am Felipa Lucero, Barangay Health Worker of Northern Poblacion, and to the community members who willingly volunteered as research participants. Their cooperation and support were essential to the successful completion of this phase of the research.

The ERRC Research Team continued its fieldwork journey in Palompon, Leyte. Our team visited the Palompon Institute of Technology (PIT) together with Assistant Professor III of the College of Engineering and Technology – Electrical Engineering Department, Engr. Junry Monterola. We had the opportunity to meet with PIT’s OIC- President, Dr. Claudine L. Igot; VP for Research, Dr. Nelson E. Enage; Head of Research and Development, Dr. Rose A. Arceño; and faculty member Ma’am Madilyn Marquez as we coordinated the conduct of our study and discussed the direction of our ongoing research activities. We extend our gratitude to the PIT administration and faculty for their time, guidance, and support throughout our visit.

The research team also made its way to Brgy. Sabang, Palompon, Leyte to gather community-level data. Our sincerest thanks to Barangay Captain Oliver Mendoza and Barangay Councilor Pamela Ramirez for welcoming the team and granting us permission to conduct the data collection in their barangay. Your support greatly contributes to the success of our research.

This study is part of the undergraduate educational research subject taught by Dr. Gamaliel Gonzales, Director of the ERRC, with Dr. Roselyn Gonzales as co-adviser, who managed correspondence during the publication process and revisions. A major part of this work was made possible through the contributions of the lead author, 𝐌𝐫.

The project also received valuable contributions from the Educational Research and Resource Center (ERRC) research associates, Ms. Danica Kaye Hallarte and Ms. Masza Lyn Milano.

The paper integrates the Protective Action Decision Model (PADM) and Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand community evacuation behavior. This study is especially timely in light of recent flood events in northern Cebu, offering insights—drawn from data gathered prior to Typhoon Tino—on how perceptions of government support, information quality, and institutional responsiveness influence residents' views on their vulnerability and protective actions. Aligning flood mitigation strategies with these behavioral insights guides interventions that are not only infrastructural but also socially responsive.

This research examines preservice teachers' perspectives on integrating virtual reality into particular topics of world history and geography within a higher education social studies program. It reveals that prospective social studies educators view virtual reality as a tool to enhance teaching skills and increase engagement in learning world history and geography. Nonetheless, it highlights significant obstacles to implementation, notably due to limited resources and access to technology in a government-funded university environment.

This study analyzes the perspectives of preservice teachers on integrating virtual reality in the select contents of world history and geography subjects within the social studies curriculum of a higher education institution. It highlights that pre-service social studies teachers recognize the potential of virtual reality to enhance teaching competence and enrich learning experiences in world history and geography. However, it also underscores significant challenges in implementation, particularly related to resource constraints and technological accessibility in a government-funded university setting.

Concerns about how teachers' moral ascendancy and dependency can be attributed and assessed in a behavioral context have been raised by the recent literature's prominence of integrating artificial intelligence into teaching practices. This MAD-AI Scale is an innovative new instrument for investigating the effects of teachers' moral ascendancy and their dependency on the use of AI technologies in educational settings, and its construction and rigorous validation form the basis of this pioneering study. It presents a multidimensional framework that can help guide ethical AI practices in schools by considering these two dimensions.

This study gave the researchers an empirical way to look into the increasingly emerging convergences in influences through AI tools in classrooms. AIs' impact on teachers' ethical transparency and accountability, professional integrity, preparedness, and institutional support. It also provides valuable insights relevant to policymakers, school leaders, and teacher training institutions sensitized to the evolving AI integration in education.

This accomplishment has placed the research team on a distinguished pathway towards advancing thought leadership in AI-integrated pedagogy, as it is recorded in Computers & Education, with a long-standing reputation for excellence in technology-enhanced learning research. Such marking of success reflects on the team's incredible commitment to advancing responsible innovation and academic excellence in education, and that research efforts would contribute significantly towards advancing knowledge in the area through evidence-based tools and research.
