| 1 | Physics Teachers’ Problem-Solving Pedagogical Practice in Non-Routine Problems Implication in Realistic Mathematics Education: A Case Study by Liberty Gay C. Manalo and Dr. Marc D.G. Garvida | The purpose of this case study is to examine the practices used by six physics teachers in solving non-routine problems and how these approaches connect to the teaching of real-world applications of mathematics. A qualitative analysis of the data revealed that these respondents constantly went around the tables, observed students at work, expressed amazement at their ideas, gave students time to think through the problem at hand, and helped struggling students by probing them and showing them how to solve challenging problems. Very frequently the respondents pose intriguing questions, facilitate group work in the classroom, have class discussions in plenary, and assign individual projects that allow students to investigate novel issues and consider different approaches to their solution. Occasionally, when a student takes longer than expected to solve a problem, the respondent solves the problem on the board. The respondent also expects the student to come up with a challenging strategy, address the mistakes of the student, let the student work through problems on their own, and determine when the student is moving too slowly toward solving the problem. As a result of the frequent use of non-routine problems in physics classes, problem-solving techniques are employed by physics teachers as a goal. Problems should be well-structured, meaning they should have a single solution that can be applied to solve real-world problems when using the appropriate tool, such as mathematics. Examples supporting these findings are provided in this report, which ends with recommendations for practical mathematics instruction. | 01-October-2023 | 19-December-2023/ 28-December-2023 |

| 2 | Mathematical Models Predicting Performance in Licensure Examination of Engineering Graduates by Charo M. Consolacion and Dr.Marc D.G. Garvida | The success of a tertiary educational institution’s graduates on professional licensing exams is one of the most reliable indicators of the educational quality that the institution provides. For many years, the Philippines have produced many engineering graduates; however, in recent years, roughly 50% successfully passed the board exams required for licensure as engineers. The challenge that many higher educational institutions face is making all their engineering programs’ passing rates improve and surpass the national passing rate. This study intended to develop a mathematical model capable of forecasting the performance of BSCE and BSME graduates from a private higher educational institution in the Philippines in the licensure examination administered by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC). The researcher implemented a descriptive correlational research design. The graduates’ academic performance and enrollment in a review center were assessed through descriptive statistics, which includes means, standard deviations, frequency, and percentages. Academic performance includes grades in courses tested by PRC in BSCE and BSME licensure examinations, which include mathematics and engineering courses. It also involves grades in purposive communication and integration courses. Pearson moment correlations, and ETA, were applied in determining the correlation of variables. Moreover, the strongest predictors of the Licensure Exam Areas 1, 2, and 3 were determined using stepwise regression, and mathematical models were developed using multiple linear regression. Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) was used to assess the models' predictive power. The result of the research is intended to serve as a helpful guide and basis for the school in preparing students for the licensure examination and a credible input for the institution’s curriculum enhancement. | 04-October-2023 | 24-December-2023/ 29-December-2023 |

| 3 | A Mediation Model of Mathematics Performance in General Mathematics of Senior High school in Remote Learning by Janice T. Ilano and Dr. Avelina Raqueno | Educators throughout the world are becoming increasingly concerned about the trend of declining mathematics performance among senior high school students. Mathematics anxiety is one such factor that has an impact on students' performance. This specific factor has been shown to have the greatest impact on mathematical performance. Several studies have been conducted to explore the link between mathematics anxiety and performance, with varied results. Some claim that greater levels of mathematics anxiety result in poorer mathematics scores because pupils are unable to focus on anything math- related (Altakhyneh, 2020). Others have argued that higher mathematics anxiety leads to higher mathematics scores (Paechter et al., 2017). Because of the disparities in the findings, numerous further studies have been conducted to explore the link between mathematical performance and anxiety. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between mathematics anxiety, social support, technology support and performance of grade 11 students from schools of public and private sectors in Imus, Dasmariñas, and Bacoor as motivated by their motivational beliefs. This study employed quantitative method for data analysis of the relationships. The study used evaluation tools developed by previous authors who investigated the same issue to measure mathematics anxiety, social support, technology support, and performance. Results from the data analysis show that all independent variables are shown to have a significant relationship with mathematics performance. The only peculiarity is that peer social support is not significant despite social support as a whole being a significant predictor for mathematics performance. | 01-October-2023 | 24-December-2023/ 30-December-2023 |

| 4 | Navigating the Legal Frontier: The Intersection of Financial Governance and FinTech by Ms. Poorvi Singh Chaudhary and Dr. Manju Koolwal | Over the past decade, a gradual shift towards digitalization in finance has merged with datafication and innovative technologies like cloud computing, blockchain, big data, and artificial intelligence, ushering in the era of FinTech (financial technology). This transformation is occurring in established global markets and sometimes even more rapidly in emerging and developing economies. Consequently, cybersecurity and technological risks have evolved into significant threats to both financial stability and national security. Furthermore, the entry of prominent tech companies into the financial realm, known as TechFins, introduces two novel concerns, the first pertains to the emergence of potentially systemically important infrastructure, such as data and cloud service providers, the second revolves around the concentration of data, resembling the finance sector, which possesses economies of scale and network effects, potentially leading to systemic risk through new forms of "Too Big to Fail" and "Too Connected to Fail" scenarios. In conclusion, we propose fundamental principles for monitoring and addressing these risks, with a specific focus on the role of regulatory technology (RegTech). | 20-September-2023 | 25-December-2023/ 30-December-2023 |

| 5 | Exploring the China-Pakistan Alliance and India-China Relations in Contemporary Geopolitics by Dr. Anjali Sehrawat | Amidst the backdrop of the People's Republic of China's (PRC) inception and the emergence of new geopolitical players like India and Pakistan, the post-World War II era witnessed seismic shifts in global dynamics. India, despite shared historical ties, embarked on a journey to reinvigorate its relationship with the burgeoning economic titan of China, while the latter's rapid ascent solidified its position as a formidable presence on the global platform. However, tensions simmered between China and India, marked by notable clashes at the border and the Sino-Indian War of 1962, highlighting the gravity of their territorial disputes. Concurrently, China forged a robust alliance with Pakistan, driven partly by their shared skepticism towards India's regional influence. This scholarly exploration scrutinizes the intricate web of China's political entanglements with Pakistan and India, dissecting their multifaceted political, economic, and historical nuances. Through an incisive comparative analysis, this study endeavors to uncover the underlying drivers that have shaped these divergent trajectories, offering profound insights into the intricacies of regional geopolitics. Utilizing a rigorous academic framework and drawing upon reputable secondary sources, it aims to illuminate the complex tapestry of China's diplomatic relations with Pakistan and India, painting a vivid portrait of the evolving geopolitical landscape. | 15-September-2023 | 16-December-2023/ 31-December-2023 |
