This study endeavors to provide empirical evidence on the effectiveness of the Feynman Technique as a heutagogy-based learning strategy that fits the e-learning landscape. Utilizing true experimental research design, grades 4, 7, and 11 students from typical elementary and national high schools were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups and underwent pre- and posttests. Using two-sample and paired T-tests, results show that students under the experimental group, which applied the Feynman Technique, showed higher posttest scores and learning gains than those in the control group. Hence, this study proves that the Feynman Technique can be an effective tool to improve K-12 students’ learning, especially now given the new learning delivery modalities.

This study utilizes data mining or exploratory method. Data on the various variables were gathered from statistical reports from various reputable world agencies and subjected to statistical analysis in order to determine their significance in relation to drug trafficking. Results show that legal policies on drug trafficking, whether restrictive or nonrestrictive, have no relation to drug trafficking. Surprisingly, countries with high GDP and countries considered as clean (no corruption) show higher drug trafficking rate. With higher purchasing capability, countries with high per capita income become targets for drug trafficking. The absence of corruption is not much of a factor as it is purchasing power that lures the illicit trade of drugs in these countries. As other studies have indicated, bloody campaign to eradicate the problem of illegal drugs has been found to be ineffective as compared to drug treatment.
