The integration of game-based learning in classroom instruction is rampant for the reason that it may increase students' motivation to learn and have fun while making sense of the lesson discussed. This study aimed to develop lessons integrating experiential and supplemental game activities and measure their acceptability based on content, format, presentation and organization, and accuracy and up-to-datedness of information. This study utilized a Research and Development (R & D) method. Research and development aim to produce a product for developing lessons integrated with experiential and supplemental game activities. Results revealed that the mean score for the content is 3.84, 3.69 for the format, 3.76 for the presentation and organization, and 3.93 for accuracy and up-to-datedness. This suggests that the ratings of the developed lessons are very high in all areas and can be interpreted as very acceptable. The developed lessons, therefore, can be utilized in private and public secondary schools, specifically in grade 10 chemistry classes. Also, the lessons developed promote the development of 21st-century skills, known as essential skills.

A newly-offered subject in agriculture, rabbit production, necessitated the development of instructional materials. This mixed-method study was conceptualized to develop and evaluate learning modules for the subject, utilizing the ADDIE model of instructional design. Development of ten modules took almost two years, and the first semester of usage was done with flexible learning methods. Student and faculty users assessed the acceptability in terms of objectives, content, organization and usability, and language, while pre-test and post-test scores determined the effectiveness of the modules. Based on the results, the students rated the modules with moderate acceptability, while instructors and professors rated them with high acceptability. The modules were effective in increasing the knowledge of students in both the midterm and final periods. The learning modules may help provide locally-suited learning materials in rabbit production for Philippine tertiary schools, and in disseminating information and awareness on rabbit as a high-potential livestock in the Philippines.

The study evaluates the competencies of Punong Barangays in Hadji Panglima Tahil, Province of Sulu, in terms of delivery of basic services, executive functions, and legislative functions during the Fiscal Year 2023. The study involved 100 respondents, mostly female, married, aged 31+, with high school education and an average monthly income of 5,001-10,000. With 100 samples taken through non-probability sampling method via purposive sampling, and with the use of weighted mean, standard deviation, t-test for independent samples, One-way ANOVA, and Pearson’s r the findings indicate that Punong Barangays are generally competent in their duties and functions. The study supports the Antal Szerletics, Gerry Stoker, and B. Guy Peter’s model, which emphasizes the importance of establishing a good governance structure to guide and manage sustainability and responsibility. This structure allows leaders to set direction, establish goals, and create policies to execute strategies. Good governance can be conceived as a basket of practices, including professional civil service, anti-corruption policies, transparency and accountability, democratic decision-making, the rule of law, protection of human rights, and independent judiciary. The findings suggest that the Punong Barangays in Hadji Panglima Tahil, Province of Sulu are competent in their duties and functions, with age, gender, average monthly income, and educational attainment not significantly mediating their assessment of competencies.
