The study examined how motivation, cognitive strategies, and metacognitive strategies relate to students’ math self-concept through math self-efficacy in blended learning. Using data from 938 junior high school students in Central Visayas, Philippines, the researchers applied PLS-SEM and a Gaussian copula approach to test the robustness of the relationships and account for potential endogeneity. While the initial PLS-SEM results showed significant relationships across all paths, the robustness analysis retained only five paths and changed two partial mediation effects to no mediation. The findings also identified a negative relationship between metacognitive strategies and math self-efficacy, raising further questions about the possible roles of cognitive overload and overthinking in mathematics learning.

We are pleased to announce the publication from the 2023 ERRC GAA Project titled “𝐀 𝐏𝐋𝐒-𝐒𝐄𝐌 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐭𝐨 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐥𝐟-𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠.”

This published in Acta Psychologica, an Elsevier journal with a 3.4 CiteScore and 3.8 Impact Factor. The study was authored by 𝐃𝐫. 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐥 𝐆. 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 as lead author, together with 𝐃𝐫. 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐲𝐧 𝐑. 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬, and research associates 𝐌𝐬. 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐳𝐚 𝐋𝐲𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐨 and 𝐌𝐬. 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐊𝐚𝐲𝐞 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞.

The study examined the factors associated with college students’ motivation to learn mathematics in online classes, including parental encouragement, action planning, self-reflection, and self-monitoring. Using PLS-SEM and responses from 1,705 college students in the Visayas, Philippines, the findings showed that parental encouragement and action planning positively influenced motivation, with self-reflection and self-monitoring serving as partial mediators. The results suggest that strengthening self-regulated learning practices can support students’ motivation in online mathematics education.

Appreciation is also extended to Ms. Danica Kaye Hallarte for serving as the corresponding author and to Ms. Masza Lyn Milano for her valuable support as a research associate.

The paper reviews 54 studies published from 2017 to 2025 on the integration of artificial intelligence in mathematics education, following PRISMA guidelines and using the Scopus database. It emphasizes key challenges such as overreliance on AI, academic integrity concerns, teacher readiness, equity issues, and limitations in promoting deep mathematical reasoning. The study also presents pedagogical approaches and proposes a conceptual framework for understanding how AI influences mathematics learning, instruction, and broader educational contexts.

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.
