“…This could also be because the faculty's role that makes him/her the figure of authority who sets the standards. While recent literature claims that in the postmodern era, it is no longer clear who holds the authority (Lü & Hu, 2021), it is quite evident from the data that students are submitting to the set standards of the faculty (Bongco et al, 2023).…”

“…Locally, there is already a large body of literature identifying generational differences in styles, with a focus on age effects (Librero, 2020;Ota et al, 2007). Furthermore, the period effect of the postmodern world on teacher's authority in education suggests that it is no longer clear who holds the authority in the classrooms (Lü & Hu, 2021). However, it is not clear how this period effect interacts with the Filipino values of obedience and respect for the elders (age effect).…”

This research illustrated the dynamics of intergenerational communication between faculty and students in a Philippine university. Adopting a contextualized age-period-cohort model (APC), this multiple case study involves four cases of multigenerational faculty interactions with students. Faculty cases were first selected through purposeful maximal sampling before student participants were selected. Semi-structured individual interviews, online communication analysis, and qualitative surveys were used to obtain an in-depth understanding of the IG communication in each case, with emphasis on their purpose for communication, encoding, and decoding of the message. Within-case analyses provided rich description of each case and cross-case analysis generated lessons across cases. Findings show that age, cohort, and period, influence the online learning communications. Faculty and students are consciously adjusting their communication styles to what they perceive to be "acceptable" to convey meaning. However, perceptions of what is acceptable could be based on faulty assumptions. The paper recommends a shift from "student diversity" to "education diversity" to capture the full dynamics of generational diversity in the academe.

This study employs the scale of Value from Pictorial Assessment of Interpersonal Relationships (PAIR) to investigate the links between the importance attributed by primary students to their teachers and two independent measures of scholastic wellbeing, provided by teachers and parents. During middle childhood, the teacher is one of the most significant adults with whom children interact daily; a student–teacher relationship warm and free from excessive dependency and conflict is very important for children wellbeing; however, children’s recognition of teacher importance as an authority figure has been seldom studied. Children aged 7–11 years were individually asked to draw themselves and one of their teachers in two situations (relational Wellbeing and relational Distress); the scale of Value from PAIR was used as a proxy of the importance attributed to teachers in each situation. Teachers completed the Student–Teacher Relationship Scale for Closeness, Conflict, and Dependency of each child; parents answered two items about their children’s School Adjustment. All the study variables were firstly analyzed to check gender and age differences. Boys valorized more than girls the teacher’s figure; however, teachers perceived more Closeness and less Conflict with girls. Dependency and Conflict decreased with age, as well as (albeit slightly) School Adjustment. To assess the links between pictorial valorization of the teacher in Wellbeing and Distress and teachers’ and parents’ evaluations, four separate hierarchical regressions were performed, namely, Closeness, Dependency, Conflict, and School Adjustment, controlling children’s sex and age. The teacher’s pictorial Value in Wellbeing appeared to be related to Closeness and School Adjustment, while a negative relationship emerged between Value and Dependency in Distress. In sum, the recognition of the teacher’s role as an authority figure does not hinder a warm student–teacher relationship and impacts positively on school adjustment. In situations of Distress, dependent pupils showed a diminished appreciation of the teacher’s importance, possibly as a result of a defensive stance.

Empirical evidence has demonstrated the benefits of physical activity in preventing chronic diseases and premature death. Unfortunately, there is a global trend of insufficient physical activity, which was aggravated by the recent global pandemic. Although physical education is often used to promote physical activity, the transition to online education made it difficult to teach fitness and exercise from a distance due to several limiting factors. This chapter aims to respond to these challenges by implementing a school-based public health intervention using a computer-assisted instruction (CAI) tool called VD-CAI. Through an experimental approach, it was found that VD-CAI as an instructional technology shows a performance advantage compared to other pedagogies. Specifically, students who used VD-CAI in their physical education courses received higher scores and exhibited a more positive attitude. This chapter contributes to the growing scientific evidence of the effectiveness of school-based health education programs as well as the expanding literature on CAI and physical education.
