<p>The study specifically attempted to describe the essence of note-taking and the favorable and unfavorable experiences of the students who take and do not take notes. This work employed a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore and describe the experiences of two groups of college students who take and do not take notes. They came from the departments of Liberal Arts, Engineering, Pharmacy and HRM (Hotel and Restaurant Management) of the University of the Immaculate Conception, Davao City. The first group was composed of eight students who keep the habit of note-taking. The second group is composed of eight students without the habit of note-taking. The basis of selection of students to comprise the grouping was purposive. It was determined in the initial invitation that they either take or do not take notes and with the gauge of their open attitude to expressing or communicating their experiences clearly. The results of the study revealed that note-takers consider notes to activate the mind, to make learning personal, to help in test preparations, to complete their learning materials, and to work well with the visual and kinesthetic learners. On the other hand, non-notetakers unveiled their positions that notes were limiting and limited, burdensome, time-consuming, and unnecessary for auditory learners. The finding revealed that notetaking is both necessary and depending on the types of learners. For the visual and kinesthetic, it is indispensable; but for auditory learner it is not needed it. The study suggests that teaching strategies must adjust with the types of learners a mentor has. In addition, notetaking must not be a compulsory requirement of all students; it shall rather be taken just as one of the multiple ways of learning.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Education, essence, notetaking, qualitative, focused group discussion, learners, Philippines</p>

Background: The success of breastfeeding among post-cesarean-section mothers requires strong willingness and commitment, self-confidence, support from various professionals, and internal support (especially from their husband) and the belief and value of their family. Exclusive breastfeeding remains low in some cities such as in West Java, especially in post-cesarean-section mothers, who are influenced by certain factors. The purpose of this study is to identify husbands’ role and their support for post-cesarean-section mothers in exclusive breastfeeding.Design and Methods: This study used a qualitative phenomenological approach. with a combination of different data collection techniques: focus group discussion and in-depth interviews. Twelve husbands of post-cesarean-section mothers participated in this study. Data were analyzed by thematic content analysis.Results: Four themes were identified namely knowledge about exclusive breastfeeding, the role of the father during breastfeeding, the experience of the husband and the family in supporting breastfeeding, and Women’s lack of knowledge, inconvenience due to pain as the most impending factors of exclusive breastfeeding.Conclusion: Most fathers seem eager to be involved and assist their partners to give breastfeeding to their baby.  Furthermore, adequate support from family members, health care professionals, and employers can enable fathers to encourage and help their partners initiate and maintain exclusive breastfeeding. Fathers’ emotional, practical, and physical supports are also important factors that promote successful breastfeeding and enrich the experience of mothers.

Through the use of a phenomenological approach this study explored lived experiences of breast-feeding student mothers in the face of missing institutionalized on-campus child care arrangements at Kyambogo University (KyU). Specifically, the study sought to; identify the missing institutionalized on-campus child care arrangements at the university, establish the dilemmas breast feeding student mothers experience in undertaking the dual roles of mother and student hood due to the missing institutionalized on campus child care arrangements at KyU and examine the effect of the missing institutionalized on campus child care arrangements on undertaking of academic activities by breast-feeding student mothers. A total of 10 breast feeding student mothers were interviewed and data was analyzed using themes. Results indicated that the following institutionalized on-campus child care arrangements were missing at Kyambogo University; adequately furnished baby care rooms, baby playgrounds, immunization and pediatric medical services, professional nannies, child care responsive; teaching time tables, teaching sessions, time frames for course work assignments, tests and examinations’ undertakings, and child care responsive-remedial lessons. Dilemmas of breast feeding student mothers’ in this scenario included choosing between; baby-sitting vs attending lectures, completing a lecture vs breastfeeding a crying hungry baby, undertaking child bonding activities vs undertaking academic activities, completing an exam or a test vs breast feeding a crying hungry baby, baby care vs attending academic group discussion and baby care vs completing a coursework assignment in time. Student mothers at KyU have devised means of coping and have learnt how to resolve the tension of combining motherhood and education in an academic environment without on-campus childcare arrangements so as to pave a brighter career and family future. Such strategies included; receiving child care support from family and student friends, use of privately hired nannies, ignoring one of the two roles, time tabling the activities for the two roles, creating extra time to read, and getting help from spouses. The voices of the interviewees revealed that when the two roles were in conflict, they would rather miss academic activities than abandon their babies especially in critical times like when the babies were sick. It was therefore recommended that KyU considers putting in place various instututionalised on campus arrangements as a critical resource that will enhance academic undertakings of breast-feeding student mothers in their pursuit of Higher Education.

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the personal experiences of the teacher-participants in the teaching of Technology and Livelihood Education. It also ascertained and met the following objectives: 1) determine the teaching experiences of the TLE teachers; 2) to identify the training needs of TLE teachers; 3) ascertain the challenges faced by the TLE teachers; 3) discover the pedagogy and strategies used by the TLE teachers; and 4) find out the recommendations of the TLE teachers to improve the delivery of the course. Study Design: Qualitative-phenomenological approach. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Sta Cruz National High School, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. The study was conducted for 6 months. Methodology: The researchers purposely chose all the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers. The information were gathered through Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Results: Six themes emerged from the data analysis. Generally, the teacher-participants found teaching of TLE subject was challenging because the activities were focused on exploration. Moreover, they felt satisfied because they were able to share their knowledge and skills to their students. It implies that the TLE teachers were committed and dedicated to their jobs despite the difficulties they encountered. However, the teacher-participants revealed that generally, they were not sent outside of the school to attend training-seminar for skills enhancement. It is an indication that the school heads lack concern for their teachers’ professional development. In addressing the challenges of the teachers, they collaborate with each other by sharing their resources. Despite the challenges they encountered, they were still optimistic to be globally competitive.  It implies that the TLE teachers do not give up easily. They suggested that the school administration needed to develop the participants’ personal character so that their teaching goals were met. Conclusion: The TLE teachers loved and enjoyed their teaching jobs despite the challenges they faced. However, they clamored to the Department of Education (DepEd) to address their needs such as sending them to trainings and seminar-workshop to enhance their skills and capabilities. To show their dedication to their jobs, they brought their own tools and shared the same to other teachers. Notably, the participants only used three teaching strategies. It shows that TLE teachers lack the knowledge of other teaching strategies. The participants were optimistic that sooner or later their TLE programs are accredited and recognized locally and internationally. This implies that the participants were committed to their jobs. Ironically, they suggested that improvement of the teachers’ self was better than improving the TLE implementation. This shows that the teachers believed that materials can be easily acquired but not the attitude.

Aims: The main purpose of this study was to determine the experiences of the students in the use of spoon game technique. It also looked into the influence of the technique in the enhancement and improvement of the oral participation of students. Specifically, it sought answer how the spoon game technique was conducted; how it helped improve the oral participation of the students; and what were the suggestions of the students to improve the use of the technique. Study Design: This study used the qualitative-phenomenological method. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was used to obtain the essential information from the participants. Validated open-ended questions were used to cull the participants’ experiences. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the University of Southern Mindanao for one-semester among the freshmen students enrolled in the Study, Thinking and Speaking Skills. Methodology: The interview protocol was followed before the conduct of the interview. The participants were grouped into focus groups. The recorded interviews were transcribed, analyzed into themes and core ideas.  Results: The teachers followed procedures in the conduct of the spoon game technique. The instructions of the game were clearly relayed to the students.  The student-participants believed that the spoon game technique helped improved their oral participation. The technique greatly motivated them to ask questions and clarify issues regarding the topic being discussed; thus, they actively shared ideas. Moreover, they found the technique was fun and interesting. Conclusion: The problem on oral participation in the classroom can be addressed if language teachers are hands-on and interactive in doing the tasks; if the teacher gives appropriate and clear instructions; if teachers utilize group-work activities; and if teachers listen to the suggestions for improvement of the students.  It is also noteworthy to note that the next time the spoon game is used; the teacher needs to contextualize the questions according to the cognition level of the students and students need to be given reasonable time to think of their answers.

Abstract Objective: this paper explores the experiences of registered nurses working with Spanish nursing students within the hospital. Methods: a qualitative phenomenological approach was followed. Purposeful sampling was employed. Twenty-one registered nurses, from a public hospital located in Spain, were included in the study. Data were collected by means of unstructured and semi-structured interviews and were analysed using Giorgi's proposal. The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research were followed. Results: three main themes described the experience of registered nurses: "The nurse's relationship with nursing students"; most nurses emphasized the importance of the first contact with students and they considered students' attitude to be key. "Defining the role of the student in clinical practice"; it is necessary to unify the nurse's role and interventions to avoid misleading students and establish priorities in clinical practice. "Building bridges between clinical settings and the University"; the need to establish a common ground and connection between the university and hospital clinical settings was emphasized. Nurses felt that the training program should also be designed by the clinical settings themselves. Conclusions: understanding the meaning of nursing students with registered nurses might gain a deeper insight into their expectations.
