The dissertation aims to know the harmful effects of severe exposure of the student teachers of CED, MSU-IIT to Information Communications Technology (ICT) on the aspects of mental, emotional, and physical health. Result shows that the usage of cellular phones/smartphones, student teacher's field directly affects the mental and emotional health of a student teacher. Information Communications Technology (ICT) usage also affects the psychological health of a student teacher as shown in the result. However, age, gender, and family income do not directly affect a student teacher's emotional, mental, or physical health in terms of Information Communications Technology (ICT) usage and exposure.

The paper reviewed the focal literature focusing on the effect of the determinants of nutrition, family's living condition, parents' support to their children, and school related. These factors built an analytical model of determinants of pupils' low performance in their academics with a mind of gaining useful insights into the weight of these determinants. From the findings of this study, the determinants of nutrition, and living condition are the most related factors investigated that have significant effects on the low academic performance among the pupils of Rogongon, Iligan City, Philippines. Education in rural areas and upland barangays in the city has not given priority by the parents considering on their poor living condition and distance of the school from their home. Moreover, schools in rural areas have less support from local government for their instructional materials and training of teachers. Hence, the academic performance of the pupils in the area is poor as well as their National Achievement Test or NAT. Based on the findings of this paper, measures that can be taken by the school and local government are discussed and appropriate recommendations were made.

The respondents of this study are 12 male players of the certain barangay. The finding showed that the majority of the players are aging 19 years old and has been playing basketball for 3-4 years. With regards to performance, the players with high leg power and high years in playing basketball have the greatest number of successful rebounds. It was found out that the correlation between their leg power and rebounding performance are not significant; also, the moderating variables interplayed between the dependent and independent variables. Based on the findings and conclusions, the following recommendations are derived: it is recommended that the future researches be done with more variables that will be considered as the determinants of basketball players in general. Finally, more depth studies are recommended on the influence of leg power in relation to rebounding performance on other male basketball players.

For several years the faculty has been hosting several batches of a sports students exchange (SSE) program that gains interest and benefits for the students and the institution; however, limited studies have been conducted to present information about the program and its support system. This research is conducted to explain and give an overview of the program as well as explore the support system of the program. Three primary data, namely a depth-interview, questionnaire, and documentation, are gathered to explore the SSE program. The participants are lectures, faculty management, and students involved in the SSE in 2018-2019. The existence of the SSE program was exceedingly influenced by the faculty participation in AUCPESS. A grant from the Dharmasiswa Scholarship that aimed to bolster the exchange of culture and build up the Faculty's International atmosphere was the first booster. However, after the funding stopped, the program ran independently with non-financial support from Rector, faculty management, partner universities, and students. Hence, funding is not a pivotal issue as long as the University and faculty management eager to support the program.

This study seeks to examine the mediating role of thoughts and emotions in the relationship between sports engagement and perception of success. A sample of 1138 athletes answered perception of success questionnaire, sports engagement scale, and perceived control of internal state questionnaire. The results showed that the athletes with high dedication (commitment, enthusiasm) on sports engagement are likely to increase perception of success due to high perceived thought, and high emotion. Additionally, athletes with high absorption (interest) on sports engagement are likely to increase perception of success due to high perceived thought, and emotion. On the other hand, athletes with higher vigor (drive, force, energy) in sports engagement are likely to have high perception of success due to low perceived thought and low emotion. Furthermore, the result suggest the importance of how sports engagement affect athletes' perception of success through the differential effects of perceived control of internal state namely thoughts and emotions among athletes.

In addition, those Bajau learners who attended classes in order to learn were in the literacy level of progressing in terms of writing, reading and numeracy. Furthermore, the volunteer teachers used guided writing and reading, tracing letters and shapes, storytelling, the budding reading strategies, pointing and counting the objects as their teaching strategies.

In order to describe PE teachers' instructional practices and perspectives regarding online PE teaching, the following research questions guided the study: (1) What are the daily instructional practices of participating online PE teachers; (2) What educational theories guided these teachers' online teaching of PE? and (3) What are the perspectives and reflections of the PE teachers on online learning? Data collection methods for this case study included 1) interviews with online PE teachers, 2) virtual classroom observations and field notes, and 3) e-mail communications between the researcher and the participants. Results showed that teachers provided demonstration classes and allowed students to be creative in submitting their outputs. They practiced differentiated instruction, challenged the creativity of students and developed innovative ways of teaching PE online.
