FOREWORD

By
Professor Dr. Carmencita L. Castolo
Executive Director and Chair of the Organizing Committee
Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Open University System
It gives me pleasure and pride to end this Opening Programme of
the very meaningful and relevant activity of the STOU and
PUPOUS.
The desire for education and to be educated runs deep in a person’s
psyche. This desire has led people to look for information which
they can transform to knowledge and can help improve their lives
immensely. Such desire helped them create processes, to look for,
to find, to apply such information and knowledge: to research.
Applying this to the concept of open access to education and training, which frees the learners from the
constraints of time and place and offering flexible learning opportunities to individuals and groups of
learners, increases the benefits of the information gathered. It immensely extends and enlarges the research
initiative. It gives a more enriching dialog between the researcher and the respondent. The findings are
given more meaningful and are much more significant.
This year’s Multidisciplinary Online Research Colloquium is the 5th rendition of this well-intentioned
pursuit. The partnership between the Polytechnic University of the Philippines Open University System
(PUP OUS) and the Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University (STOU) to stage this event is a welcome
undertaking in both institutions’ desire to embolden the researchers to come up with truly remarkable and
awe-inspiring researches. Many people will benefit from these researches—that is the intention.
Let us continue to broaden open and distance learning engagement by becoming more involved with
research initiatives. It is through this that we truly become worthy as researchers and the purveyors of
knowledge and learning.

Abstract

In the VUCA world, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, learner engagement in online learning has
emerged as an important key to promote learners’ success in their studies and their lives. Learner
engagement should reflect a learner’s interaction and cooperation with co-learners and instructors. Based
on the presenter’s experiences at an institute for open and distance learning, Sukhothai Thammathirat Open
University (STOU), a large number of curricula has been offered for undergraduate and graduate programs
in different disciplines to Thai people who live in Thailand and around the world for over 4 decades in
order to enhance their degrees and to improve their quality of life. Online technologies were chosen by
STOU as essential learning tools for learners that will lead to lifelong learning. This presentation aims at
sharing the presenter’s perspectives and experiences in creating engaging learners through online
technologies. Four successful strategies based on a number of literature review will be highlighted:
encouraging learners’ interaction and empowerment and giving constructive feedback; incorporating audio-
visual materials in the teaching and learning; giving value and being patient with every learner; and
engaging directly and presenting the best self. Finally, the research collaboration opportunities will be
introduced and discussed.

REDEFINING R&D STRATEGY FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
FOR THE NEXT NORMAL

Dr. Custer C. Deocaris, Ph.D.
Affiliation: Senior Scientist, Philippine Nuclear Research Institute,

Department of Science and Technology
Head of the Research Management Division at the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED) in the Philippines

Abstract
The process of managing change and uncertainty, we need to agree to the word “normal” can be perceived
as either new, now, and next. While new normal and now normal connote the degree of responses to the
pandemic, “next normal” assumes there will always be disruptions to our lives as the COVID-19 virus
continues to mutate and as new pathogens can likely emerge in the future. My talk discusses ideas on
strategizing the R&D agenda for higher education guided by data analytics and foresight thinking. It is
incumbent that leaders in the education sector must unite with various stakeholders if we are to find an
economically and socially viable path towards the next normal. It is important for researchers to articulate
the concept of the Scrabble theory to explore the economic complexity of the environment where rich
learning can be done in this area, and specifically as it relates to how education, strategies, competencies,
and learning development for students. Educators and practitioners as researchers must render a clever,
straightforward, and unique illustration of the correlation between the challenges in the environment and
the advancement of knowledge to contribute to the overall productivity of research in the global
environment.

Abstract

Southeast Asia faces increasing disaster and climate risks that affect survival and sustainability of the
region’s localities, including small islands. These small islands become most vulnerable to disasters due to
multiple hazards and the risk of isolation from the mainland. Risk communication is seen as an inevitable
component in reducing risk and developing resilience. This study explore actionable risk communication
through an understanding of local perception on risk and resilience, strategy, results, and recommendations
for sustained risk communication towards resilience in small islands Through key informant interviews and
documents review, this qualitative case study of a Philippine island-province, Marinduque, sought to
contribute to the disaster risk communication and resilience-building discourse for small islands in the
region.Findings indicate that local perception and knowledge as well as exposure to and experience of risks
define and motivate risk communication in preparing for future disasters and develop area-based resilience.
Social networks particularly at the neighborhood level and inter-local cooperation were instrumental in
effecting actions from determining area-specific risks to risk and resilience planning and budgeting. Risk
communication that motivates actions of community can be effective in the exchange of frequently repeated
risk messages that are Informational, Instructional, Influential, and Institutional in nature, from multiple
sources in multiple appropriate channels towards developing risk-reduction and resilience behaviors in
small islands. Further, community-based actionable risk communication strategy can be sustained through
integration and localization of communication initiatives; consideration for local perception and
knowledge; inclusive planning, investment, and stakeholder engagement; and through communication
policy recommendations and interventions.

Abstract
The COVID – 19 Pandemic is the greatest health crisis of our time challenging the dynamism of
governments around the globe on rapid response as the key in addressing such health crisis. In the
Philippines, it was a test of leadership, especially to local governments, to ensure public health and safety
while ensuring the continuous provision of social services among its constituents. Health communication
as an instrument of risk and crisis management has proven to be the most crucial aspect of governance in
this time of global crisis. Thus, this study aims to shed light on the good practices and lessons learned from
the local executives’ efforts which will serve as benchmark for communication strategy and framework in
the formulation of health crisis communication plan of local governments. A qualitative study, data on best
practices of two Philippines cities – Marikina and Pasig – were drawn from key informant interviews with
public information and/or crisis managers and 20 other informants/residents of said cities. Data collected
comprised of current health risk and crisis communication practices and strategies, perception of informants
and recommendations for LGU implementation. In conclusion, the study showed that local chief executives
(LCEs) during COVID-19 relied on all forms of communication channels, specifically social and traditional
media. Likewise, informants noted the exemplary efforts of local chiefs and opportunities for improvement
on public information dissemination. With the recommended framework for crisis communication, LCEs
will be guided in the context of responding to the current crisis as well as in future emerging health crisis.

Abstract

One undergraduate program activity at Sukhothai Thammathirat Open University is the use of skill
enhancing practice. It enables students to enhance their skills and experience according to professional
standards. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the activity which was formally organized in a face-to-face
(F2F) format had to be changed to an online format. Accordingly, the skill enhancing practice was re-
designed by integrating the use of various media and digital technologies to organize activities and facilitate
students and was provided as the training. To explore the contributions of the training, this research was
conducted to collect the outcomes of the training after having been applied through the Advanced Film
Production Course, Department of Communication Arts. Participants in the developed skill enhancing
practice were 41 students who enrolled in the course, divided into 18 students from semester 2/2019 and
23 students from semester 2/2020. The training was conducted for 4 weeks. The activities contained both
synchronized and asynchronous modes. The training process consisted of (1) orientation, (2) studying
content from video clips, (3) discussion and exchange of knowledge, (4) practicing making short films, (5)
coaching from lecturers or professional experts, (6) revising and improving, (7) presenting a short film, and
(8) evaluating and discussing the work. Findings from the online training found that (1) an online skill
enhancing practice helps students save time and expenses, (2) students are able to allocate learning time at
their own pace, (3) the training helps students to expand creativity more freely, and (4) students have more
knowledge and skills in using digital technology.

Abstract
Learners have their own way of studying and getting good grades. With the free education here in the
Philippines, it is still a struggle for some to achieve proper education because some have to provide for their
family, others have work-related problems, and the like. Considering the importance of education, these
students who stopped have decided to go back and attend schooling, but because of workload, they can’t
afford to attend the traditional form and opted to enroll in the Open University System. This study aims to
identify the study habits of adult learners who have re-engaged with education. This quantitative study
involved 193 Open University students who voluntarily participated and answered a survey questionnaire.

The study revealed that in terms of textbook reading, respondents always read the introduction,
headings, subtitles, and questions of a chapter before reading a chapter and attempted to analyze how ideas
are organized and related to each other. In terms of study attitudes and organization, students always
consider as main purpose of studying is to learn then just get things done and frequently begin to study and
know what and how much they intend to learn. It was concluded that adult learners frequently utilized their
study habits. The study intended to benefit students who decided to re-engage in education, with this study
they will know ways to focus on when studying and educators will also benefit from this as they will
thoughtfully consider these study habits to further strengthen the teaching-learning experience of adult
learners.

Abstract
To reduce the spread of the COVID-19 epidemic, major adjustments have required updating learning
management skills and creating a virtual learning environment such as Virtual Reality. Virtual Reality (VR)
is a technology that allows learners to interact with a simulated environment to enhance their experiences;
learning that is close to the real world. This research aims to develop a virtual environment through 360-
degree images. The subject of modern Thai architectures in the 32484 Fundamental Knowledge for Tourist
Guides and ASEAN Tourism, a module taught at the undergraduate level of Sukhothai Thammathirat Open
University (STOU), was selected as the content for development. Multimedia in a virtual environment
includes texts, images, audios, videos, and infographics. The development of a virtual learning environment
was generated through the use of the IPO Model. Each part of the model consists of (1) input, which
includes teacher, learners, instructional designer, content, learning objectives, a 360 camera, software, and
an online network; (2) process, consisting of Part 1, the development of multimedia media for linkage, and
Part 2, the development of a 360-degree virtual environment, and (3) output, which is Distance Education
Media in the form of a virtual learning environment on the subject of modern Thai architectures for
undergraduate students of STOU. Research shows that the employment of the virtual environment through
360-degree images could play a vital role among the virtual reality technology with meaningful
contributions to promote interaction in distance learning education.

Abstract

The study dwells on the audience reception towards the RC Cola advertisement with adopted child theme
that went viral after its release. The main objective of this research is to know the viewing experiences of
the members Filipino Adoptees Network (FAN) in the light of Schmitt's Experiential Marketing and Hall's
Audience Reception Theory. It aims to identify the different viewing experiences of the adopted in terms
of the creative-cognitive experience, affective experience, and social-identity experience; and the manner
the informants accepted the aspects of the RC Cola Advertisement. Descriptive research through a
qualitative approach was employed in this study. Case study was adopted as method where seven (7)
members of the FAN were interviewed. The elicited responses were analyzed thematically. The findings
show the relevance of the advertisement to the personal life experiences of the informants; and the insights
as they accepted the aspects of images and graphics, interests, and the depicted concept of family. The
participants agree in some beliefs or values illustrated in the advertisement, but they opposed on how the
content were conveyed to the target audience due to disturbing and confusing manner. Since it has shown
that the content of the advertisement fell under the oppositional category due its peculiar symbols and post-
modern approaches, same recommendation can also be done to further improve this aspect. Hence, in
consideration of the above-mentioned specific results, perhaps, this would serve as future directions for the
researchers.

Abstract

The digital environment has changed the way to access collections in libraries, museums, galleries and
archives. There are ongoing efforts to develop online access technologies to connect items in cultural
heritage organizations moving towards the development of Open Data and Linked Open Data. This paper
presents issues of lessons on open cultural repositories: a case of Digital Public Libraries of America
(DPLA). The DPLA is a collection of cultural heritage information for the libraries, museums, galleries and
archives of America, and makes them freely available to the world. Regarding the information gathered
from the DPLA, the findings are presented as issues consisting of (1) Collaboration, an interoperability
between the content hub and services hub, which are partners among cultural heritage organizations that
aggregate metadata; (2) Content, which includes a wide variety of cultural heritage content by sharing
digital collections with each state partner cultural heritage source in America; and 3) Digital Infrastructure,
the DPLA and hubs with components are very different, using metadata across multiple channels.

Abstract

This study sought to understand the standpoints of Filipino deaf, based on the Standpoint Theory, on the
presentation of Covid-19 Pandemic through the leading television news programs in the country namely
TV Patrol of ABSCBN Broadcasting Inc., Frontline Pilipinas of TV5 Network and 24 Oras of GMA
Network, Inc. This case study employed the qualitative research approach and descriptive research design.
Through purposive sampling, the researcher selected fifteen deaf people who represented various
recognized associations of the deaf community in the major divisions of the Philippines – Luzon, Visayas
and Mindanao. Data were gathered through in-depth interview with the assistance of professional sign
language experts to verbalize the messages stated by the diverse informants. Research found-out the early
weeks of pandemic, deaf people were struggled since no equivalent sign languages yet on Covid-19
Pandemic-related information that will benefit the community. As times go by, interpreter, inset size, the
evolution of signs, and the feedback mechanisms of the news programs are the identified issue. Considering
the issue on the interpreters, inconsistency of delivery through sign languages, mixtures of languages and
absence of facial expression were revealed as the concerns of the deaf viewers. Aside from that, difficulty
to understand the sign languages and cutting off of body parts were disclosed as concerns on the issue of
small inset size. Meanwhile, unfamiliar signs and seeking validation to others were identified as concerns
on the issue on the evolution of sign languages. Furthermore, getting the feedback of the deaf viewers on
the news programs was identified concern. These lead to the strategies on addressing issues and concerns
on television news programs in forms of professionalization of the interpreters, improvement of the size of
inset, urgent standardization of the Filipino Sign Language in broadcast media and coordination of the deaf
community to the television organizations for the feedback.

Abstract

Digital ethics are an important issue related to the ethical dimension of the relationship among digital native
behaviors, digital technology, and a society which focuses on privacy and data protection in the digital
environment. This paper presents a critical review of the literature investigating the digital ethics of digital
natives in terms of digital ethics, digital offenses, and risk behaviors in relation to digital treats. The
literature review, as part of the dissertation, aims at analyzing and synthesizing existing literature, especially
research articles about digital ethics in higher education, which are published during 2018-2022.

The review reflected some of the most common issues associated with digital ethics, digital offenses, and
risk behaviors in relation to digital treats, including cyber bullying, posting or sharing inaccurate
information on social media, and failing to read or comply with rules or policies on social media use
respectively, all of which have a negative effect on digital natives.

The analysis of literature revealed some existing gaps which help the researcher understand how to address
the digital natives’ needs on enhancing technology use appropriately, responsibly, and ethically. It also
suggested a need for developing digital ethics for digital natives to become aware of the challenges and
alternatives for life in the digital era, social coexistence, appropriate digital behaviors, and digital ethics,
which are essential for interpersonal communication and perceived understanding of digital literacy.

Abstract

This study has as its objective to provide an overview of the typology of educational institutions in the
Philippines for better understanding of how their business plans are changing because of COVID-19. This
is a qualitative and descriptive study wherein interviews and stories by notable personalities in health,
media, and local government were taken as the data source. As such, narrative assessment is the foremost
methodology of the paper. Findings led to the conclusions that government-funded schools will survive
the pandemic. Catholic schools and other big schools may do better than religious schools and Muslim
schools. The results also show how important government assistance programs are, which, despite their
flaws, may help make the country’s young people friendlier and more nationalistic. It is recommended that
there must be continuous monitoring, updating, and evaluating of schools’ financial stability, a. As well as
to continue evaluating teachers’ skills with educational technology to make sure they know how to use it
to improve their teaching since students may now see the current situation as the “New Normal” in schools.

Abstract

Records management plays an important role in the auditing process. Auditing processes require evidence
from both financial records and other supporting documents on Financial Records, Records Management,
and Internal Audit. Accordingly, it is vital to understand the relationship between records management and
internal audit and to understand the records management process, internal audit process, types of financial
records, paper financial records, and electronic financial records. For this purpose, this paper aims to
explore the current trend and information in the field. Therefore, a literature review was conducted based
on articles and doctoral dissertations selected from Emerald insight, Researchgate, and internet searches
published between 2010 - 2020. The literature review reveals that records management is a key enabler to
the auditing process because financial records auditing is a means to ensure that such information is reliable

and fits well with established rules and regulations. Therefore, an internal audit is not effective without

good records management. Records management keeps financial records complete, accurate, and reliable
because it is a systematic control of an organization’s records throughout creation, receipt, maintenance,
use, and disposal of records, including processes for capturing and maintaining evidence of information
about business activities and transactions in the form of records.

Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic has caused many disruptions in almost every aspect of the world including businesses
alternatives that resulted in fast-tracking digital transformation like digitalized transactions, and online
shopping. With this, Augmented Reality (AR) technology has been widely suggested to improve the retail
experience by offering an interactive shopping experience and providing a competitive advantage compared
to the existing online shopping approach. Despite its advantages, AR technology is not widely adopted by
retailers in the Philippines today. This research investigates the consumer’s response towards the use of
AR-enabled applications and how it influences their purchasing behavior. Descriptive research through
quantitative approach was utilized to meet the research objectives. The data gathered from 252 respondents
who have experience in using AR technology. The findings showed that AR Technology is widely accepted
by consumers in the Philippines has a great opportunity for further adoption by more retailers. It is
recommended for retailers and augmented reality developers to further improve this technology to fully
mimic the in-store shopping experience and for future researchers to explore factors that consumer wants
augmented reality to further adapt from an in-store experience.

THE ROLE OF ACADEMIC LIBRARIES TO SUPPORT
BLENDED LEARNING: LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Information Technology has pervaded the education field. Learning and teaching techniques are changing
in the digital environment. Accordingly, the trend of e-learning is increasing, leading to the implementation
of the Blended Learning concept. Blended Learning is innovative education consisting of different modules.
With this approach, the educational content is delivered through the best features of classroom interaction
and live instruction exercised in an interactive learning environment. This study aimed to analyze the
contents of Academic libraries to Support Blended Learning. The content analysis form was used as the
research tool. The data were collected from fifteen research articles which were published in Emerald
Management, Sage Journals, H.W.Wilson, and SpringerLink during the years 2010-2020. The qualitative
data were analyzed by using inductive content analysis. The key findings showed that 1) information
technology and online libraries play a significant role in creating learning spaces for Blended learning, and
began to shift their physical activities to the online platform making it easy for users to access it; 2) factors
affecting academic libraries to support Blended Learning are small funds, the lack of professionally trained
staff, regulations and policies, and inadequate digital infrastructure, etc.; 3) staff of academic libraries has
shifted away from “traditional” academic librarianship roles to the more diverse range of roles in terms of
teaching and learning assistants, multi-skilled specialists, or academic liaison roles. Hence, academic
libraries should pay attention to the quality of digital services and librarians embedding their online modules
to support Blended Learning which emphasizes the new user-centered approach to service delivery.
