“…These findings indicate that as a home-based experiment, the IITs activity enhanced the students' confidence in making improvised traps and learning insect taxonomy. This claim supports the studies by Ainscough et al (2016) and Robledo & Prudente (2022), which emphasized that academic selfefficacy encompasses judgments regarding one's ability to perform academic tasks and is greatly influenced by doing hands-on activities independently.…”

Classifying, naming, and identifying insects have been complicated topics among science teachers and students. This problem is due to the highly technical collection protocols, safekeeping procedures, the unavailability of appropriate learning resources, and the closure of school laboratories and facilities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Using the remote learning setup, this study utilized Improvised Insect Traps (IITs) to provide an authentic learning experience in teaching and learning insect taxonomy at home. The study aimed to determine the effects of using IITs on students’ self-efficacy beliefs and perceived levels of engagement. In this quasi-experimental study, 42 students designed and developed their improvised insect traps. Insect collection and classification were accomplished within four weeks. A 20-item validated survey questionnaire on self-efficacy and engagement levels was administered via Google Forms. Students’ feedback was gathered using virtual focus group discussions and open-ended questions. Results revealed that IITs effectively improved students’ self-efficacy beliefs (Z=0.033, p-value=0.022, g=0.68), while no improvement was noted in students’ perceived levels of engagement (Z=0.143, p-value=0.188, g=0.07) in teaching and learning insect taxonomy. Moreover, students’ feedback and responses were classified as Affordances or Constraints. Subthemes such as motivation, satisfaction, authentic learning, safety, and parental involvement were generated in the thematic analysis. Overall, this study found that the IITs activity is relevant in teaching insect taxonomy and delivering practical learning experiences among students in a distance learning modality.

“…Nevertheless, the study did not reveal students' learning outcomes but sought mainly to develop a content knowledge activity about global oil spill disasters based on their spatial and temporal distribution. Another study conducted by Dave et al [18] developed alternative virtual experiences for the students to learn environmental concepts using Google Earth learning activities (GELA) [19]. The study was conducted on 156 senior high school students, revealing a significant increase in students' environmental awareness and attitude.…”

Recently, sustainable development practices have increased attention as climate change and environmental impacts have increased. Interventions to encourage sustainability awareness are developing, so fostering them through education is crucial. Evidence-based studies conducted in this field have suggested the use of different digital tools to promote environmental learning gains and to foster better sustainability awareness among students. Following the PRISMA method, we found 21 articles published between 2013 and 2023 showing an interest in the use of digital tools in environmental education to foster sustainability awareness among learners. Findings indicate that virtual reality tools and climate change topics are the most trending in this research area. Further, the results show a positive impact of the use of digital tools on students’ concern for the sustainability of the planet.

“…By presenting innovations for teacher training, professional development, and classroom assistance, AI has the potential to play a key role in teacher education [2123]. Preservice teachers are college students enrolled in a teacher education program but have not yet completed the criteria to obtain a teaching license [24,25]. This status makes them suitable respondents for the KAP survey on ChatGPT since they are on track to becoming teachers.…”

ChatGPT has gained popularity among Philippine educational institutions due to its versatility and usefulness in academic activities. However, educators have raised concerns about the ethical issues, academic dishonesty, and technology dependence associated with its use. This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument called KAP-CQ39 that assesses the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of preservice teachers regarding the use of ChatGPT. The study involved 4 experts, 12 independent evaluators, and 206 preservice teachers. The instrument underwent a series of assessments to establish quality, validity, and reliability, resulting in the final version of KAP-CQ39. Results showed that KAP-CQ39 has acceptable content validity (CVR and CVI values>0.78), face validity (IS>1.5), construct validity (chi-squared value of 897.564, df=577, p<0.001), and internal consistency (overall Cronbach coefficient=0.91). This proved that KAP-CQ39 can be a valuable tool for assessing the impact of ChatGPT on the Philippine educational system and can provide insights for educational policy makers regarding the use of artificial intelligence in education.
