Findings revealed that the students identified themselves as above average or heavy technology users, and their perception as to the type of user they were did not vary according to gender and location. Smartphones were the standard technology the students used to complete most tasks. At the same time, students utilized laptops to complete limited but essential tasks like designing, entering data into spreadsheets, and doing presentations. Noticeably, the students did not use the desktop computers. Also, they did not use technology for big tasks such as checking bank finances, creating podcasts, or paying bills online.

The study is based on the proposition that the children’s school performance is influenced by the quality of care they receive from the members of the kin who takes care of them. A total of fifty-two children with developmental disabilities were assessed of their school performance based from the Department of Education (DepED) Order 72, series 2012. Data derived the children’s school performance became the basis for the selection of five caregivers who participated in the case study. The analysis of the interview results showed that members of kin involved in children with developmental disabilities represent a powerful psychological and emotional experience and affects the development of the children. Implications for kinship care policies are discussed.

This research endeavor seeks to determine preferences of CPBC pastors on local governance versus centralization. Specifically, the objectives of this study are as follows: 1) To determine the profile of the pastors according to sex, age, civil status, educational attainment, work, and nature of work. 2) To determine the preference of pastors in these areas – spiritual, social, economic and management – as far as local governance and centralization are concerned.

Accordingly, to equip students, with knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values they'll need to face the difficulties along with sustainable development, there is a need to up-date some processes currently utilized in science teaching and learning. For this reason, alternative activities and assessment methods, like the use of performance task assessment is needed to improve both the quality of teaching and to provide a meaningful learning experience to students. The purpose of this study was to provide relevant information from extant literature and a sample performance task assessment to encourage Science teachers to utilize these information in their classes. To achieve this purpose, significant information about performance task assessment and an original performance task assessment were presented. The use of performance assessment task is one alternative method to develop critical thinking skills, and to provide an education that is truly relevant to every student in the light of today’s challenges, like the pandemic. It could provide authentic and meaningful learning experience to students, and is very relevant in the context of coping with the challenges the science teachers have been facing. With the many pieces of evidence on its effectiveness and positive learning experience by students provided by literature, it is certain that the use of performance assessment task in Science classes cannot be overemphasized.
