Stress and stress-coping strategies among evangelical pastors as related to their adversity quotient: Implications to pastoral counseling, training, and development Rendon, Kenneth Jude F. This survey-correlational research aimed to determine the stress and stress-coping strategies among evangelical pastors as related to their adversity quotient, and their implications to pastoral counseling, training, and development. The participants of the study were124 evangelical pastors of International Care Ministry (ICM), who were classified according to sex, civil status, education, income, occupation, and religious affiliation. This study adopted the following data-gathering instruments: Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), Brief COPE, and Adversity Quotient Scale. Frequency counts, percentage analyses, means, ranks, and standard deviations were used in the descriptive data analysis; the t-test for independent samples, and Pearson’s r, were used to analyze the inferential data. Results revealed moderate levels of stress among the participants as a whole, and when classified according to sex, civil status, education, income, occupation, and religious affiliation. The most frequently used adaptive coping strategies were problem-focused approach, emotion focused, and avoidant focused; ranked accordingly in that order. No significant differences existed in the participants’ level of stress, as well as, in stress-coping strategies when classified according to sex, civil status, education, income, and religious affiliation. However, significant differences existed among the participants classified according to occupation. On the other hand, no significant differences existed in the adversity quotients among the participants classified according to sex, civil status, education, income, occupation, and religious affiliation. A moderate positive correlation existed between coping strategies and adversity quotients, indicating that effective coping strategies improves resilience. A nonsignificant correlation existed between stress level and adversity quotient, which seems to indicate that resilience is more dependent on coping than on the intensity of stress. The study recommends that customized pastoral care programs be given to pastors to help them manage stress and improve resilience by adapting coping strategies. Abstract only

Teachers' implementation of guidance and counseling roles: Knowledge, attitude, and practices Callao, Estela L. The study conducted in the northern part of Palawan focused on assessing the knowledge, attitude, and practice of homeroom teachers regarding their guidance roles. The research methodology employed a descriptive-correlational design to explore these aspects. A total of 146 homeroom teachers participated as respondents. In terms of data analysis, descriptive statistics such as frequency count and percentage were utilized. For inferential analysis, the Chi-square test, along with phi and gamma values, was applied. These statistical methods were used to identify relationships and associations between different variables. The significance level for the statistical tests was set at 0.05. The findings in the relationship between knowledge and attitude stated that homeroom teachers with fair to good knowledge have a favorable attitude, while those with very good knowledge exhibit a very favorable attitude toward their guidance role. Next, the relationship between attitude and practice revealed that homeroom teachers with fair to good knowledge tend to have very good practice of their roles, while those with very good knowledge exhibit excellent practice. Then, the relationship between knowledge and practice showed that homeroom teachers with fair to good knowledge tend to have very good practice in their roles, while those with very good knowledge exhibit excellent practice. The data analysis did not reveal a significant relationship between teachers' knowledge of their guidance role and their attitude toward it, nor between their knowledge and practice. However, there is a significant relationship between the teachers' attitude toward their guidance role and their actual practice of it. In summary, the study suggests that while there might not be a direct correlation between knowledge and attitude, knowledge and practice, a strong positive attitude among homeroom teachers toward their guidance role significantly influences their effective practice of it.

The validation of an instrument for measuring study habits and attitudes of high school students in Capiz Agricultural and Fishery School Patricio, Alma V. Nowadays, laymen and educators are much, concerned with a great number of students, who, because of their lack of systematic study habits and study attitudes cannot cope with school work and eventually drop out of school. It is not unusual to find a grade six pupil who can neither read or write short compositions correctly nor express his ideas in correct English. Sometimes, he cannot profit from the printed page because of deficient vocabulary and poor reading ability. Teachers often complain of the poor scholastic achievements of their pupils, despite their efforts to impart the lessons to them. Parents too are puzzled why their children in the elementary grades can hardly read and comprehend what they have read. A study conducted in 1974, the Survey of the Outcomes of Elementary Education (SOUTELE) revealed that sixth grades across the nation are deficient in skills which are basic to success to learning in the different areas commonly referred to as the three R's. According to the late Assemblyman, Dr. Waldo S. Perfecto, as reported by EDPITAF people in the Capiz Education Review, out of every one hundred pupils starting in grade one in the school year 1967-68, 1968-69, and 1969-70, only forty-one, forty-three, and forty-five respectively reached grade six. Studies of Esquerra, McCausland and Steward, and other authorities revealed that study habits and attitudes of students are positively related to their scholastic achievements and attitudes toward school subjects. Realizing the significance of the above statement, the investigator felt the need of an instrument that would measure study habits and attitudes of high school students. Very early she realized that such an instrument would be difficult to formulate and would require a long time to finalize. It was, therefore, decided to adapt the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) by Brown and Holtzman and validate it to make sure it would correctly assess study habits and attitudes of Filipino high school students, those in Capiz Agricultural and Fishery School, in particular. Such instrument can be used later by teachers and administrators in surveying the above traits which are related to the students' scholastic achievements and drop-out rates of schools. The problem Statement of the Problem The study aimed to validate the Survey of Study Habits and Attitudes (SSHA) by Brown and Holtzman for measuring study habits and attitudes of high school students in Capiz Agricultural and Fishery School where the researcher is a guidance counselor. Since this instrument was standardized for the use of American college students, it may not be suited for Filipino high school students. So, the investigator deemed it necessary to validate the SSHA Inventory to make certain it would be appropriate for use with Filipino high school students. Questions that the study sought to answer: 1. Is the simplified form of the SSHA instrument appropriate for surveying the study habits and attitudes of Filipino high school students, particularly those in Capiz Agricultural and Fishery School? 2. Are the sentence structures identified in the instrument found in the course outlines used by the different high school English teachers and were taught by them from the first to the fourth year? 3. Are the words used in the instrument, as identified from Thorndike and Lorge's Word List, within the vocabulary which should be common in the grade level of the students? 4. Is the instrument suited to the abilities and backgrounds of the students under study? 5. Do the different items in the inventory correlate highly with the whole scale? 6. Is the instrument reliable enough for measuring the study habits and attitudes of high school students? Introduction and statement of the problem

Common problems of senior high school students: An exploratory study Dofeliz, Peter Jorge J. This descriptive exploratory study aimed to determine the common problems of Senior High School Students of a private university in Iloilo City. It is a one-shot survey design that employed a standard questionnaire that was administered to 329 respondents. The independent variables were sex, grade level, and strand. The Person-in-Environment theory and Identity Theory were the bases in describing the results of the survey. When ranked, the major problems identified were “being suspicious of others”, “budgeting money”, “worrying about future job or college”, “having the same thoughts over and over again”, and “having poor sleeping habits” which reflected in social, money, school, emotional, and health categories respectively. These were followed problems to a lesser proportion such as “looking too plain”, “having a recent change in attitude”, “parents expecting too much”, “arguing with brother or sister”, and “wasting money” which were found in appearance, attitude, parenting, family, and money categories. Problems that were recognized of least concern are found in religion, dating, and crisis categories. These were “not being able to get to church”, “arguing with boyfriend/girlfriend”, and “losing something valuable”. The results further revealed that there were students who coped well while others found difficulties in similar environmental conditions. Generally, most of the respondents were able to adapt to the problems in the checklist. Abstract only
