Maricar S Prudente's research while affiliated with La Salle University and other places

... Sending links through emails and social media and encouraging people to open those links and participate in the study is challenging because some people believe that the links sent to them come with malicious software that may adversely affect their gadgets and computers (Funa et al., 2022;Hunter, 2012). To address this issue, the researchers used the criterion sampling technique by requesting first their known preservice teachers, who passed the set criteria, to open the link and answer the questionnaire. ...

... These skills are at the core of the scientific argumentation process. Therefore, lecturers must adopt a student-centered pedagogy that fosters understanding and argumentation skills [25]. Knowledge is not information but a series of activities i.e. activities cannot be "stored and retrieved" but can only be developed, carried out, and carried out again [16]. ...

... This finding was supported by a recent meta-analysis on the effectiveness of virtual laboratory activities on student achievement, which found a medium effect size, indicating a positive use of virtual laboratories. Virtual laboratory simulations have also been noted to be widely used in a variety of scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics (Santos & Prudente, 2021). However, in contrast to the potential benefits of virtual simulations in Physics instruction, some significant concerns have emerged, including students' passive behavior, distortion of laboratory reality if a proper simulation is not available, and loss of teamwork skills due to students' extreme individualism (Salmerón-Manzano, 2018). ...

... In their research, Wang et al. (2018) stated that students' engagement is highly needed to utilise video conferencing tools and conduct online learning successfully. Video conferencing provides an opportunity for interaction and engagement, enabling the participants to bridge the psychological and communication distance between trainers and participants and among participants (Torrato et al., 2021). ...

... The researcher purposely chose to begin the search from 2016 until the third quarter of 2021. As in the previous metaanalysis conducted by Funa and Prudente (2021), the literature search was aided by Harzing's Publish or Perish (PoP) software program. Furthermore, the following descriptors were strategically entered in meta-search engines, with some variations to account for specific retrieval sources: virtual simulations, computer simulations, achievement, secondary. ...

... During the implementation of the online method, students and parents objected because not all parents had cellphones, the quota was expensive, signal was difficult, parents and students did not understand the application used by the teacher, it was difficult to understand the material explained by the teacher because the material explained was only through videos. As for the application of online methods, one of them is in thematic learning (Tumlos Castillo et al., 2021), because thematic is the only lesson that covers several subjects, and dominates the learning time which makes students difficult and bored. ...

... En la misma línea, Ubilla-González et al. (2017) (Hakimah et al., 2021) o, como herramienta de enseñanza efectiva para las modalidades a distancia y en línea (Madrona et al., 2021). En el caso de Meet, en otras investigaciones se ha mencionado que los discentes tienen un buen entendimiento de la herramienta (Uaidullakyzy et al., 2022), identifican su utilidad y facilidad de uso (Al-Maroof et al., 2021) y, que es una herramienta importante para la enseñanza de la ciencia (Septantiningtyas et al., 2021;Rusmansyah et al., 2021). ...

... A ativação do pensamento metacognitivo para algumas pessoas é espontânea e automática, contudo, para outras necessita ser instigada por mecanismos externos. Em outras palavras, embora as pesquisas evidenciam os benefícios de sua utilização (Antonio, Prudente, 2022), particularmente em relação à aprendizagem em Física (Bogdanovic et al., 2015), parte dos estudantes não consegue ativá-lo espontaneamente. E, ainda, essa parte pode estar relacionada àquela que tem rendimentos mais insatisfatórios e, portanto, com dificuldades de aprendizagem (Zohar, David, 2008). ...

... It is also interesting to note that the participants were the first batch of graduates from the K-12 program in the Philippines, and it was found out that 20 out of the 24 participants were non-Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand graduates. A previous study of the researchers indicated that there were still rooms for improvement for the reflection level of the students who graduated from the senior high school level (De Leon & Prudente, 2018). This also challenged the mathematics teachers in the department to provide additional opportunities for PMTs to learn the mathematics concept deeply. ...

... The instrument used in the study to determine the level of students' 21 st century skill was entitled The Perception of the 21 st Century Skills of Students Questionnaire (P21Q) 9 . The P21Q was modified and recast by the researcher and have been validated by different specialists in the field of science and education to fully assess the 21 st century skills of the students. ...
