Pottery is seen as creation of ornamentals, cooking and storing materials. Yet, while economic gains are often considered from producing these materials, the artistic and linguistic aspects have been ignored. This study discusses the factors influencing the culture of pottery, the processes of pottery making, and seeks to uncover the language used in processes of pottery making in Bari, Sibalom, Antique. A qualitative research employing ethnographic study with participant observation and face to face interviews using photo documentation, video recording and open-ended questions in gathering the data was employed. There were five manugdihon, or potters, purposively selected as key informants of the study. The study revealed that environmental factors influenced the culture of pottery making in the barangay. There were seven main processes in pottery making. These included gathering and preparing of materials, mixing the needed materials, cleaning the mixed clay, forming of desired shape, detaching, drying, and polishing and varnishing. Further findings indicate that, together the other processes, the language used in poterry making was archaic Kinaray-a, the language of the province. This language pattern suggests a specialized pottery making. Ultimately, the study suggest that the manugdihon should continue their artistic talents so that the language may be preserved. The educational institutions of the province may provide ways to include pottery making in the curriculum so that the art and language of pottery making will be preserved and promoted.

There is a growing demand on educational institutions to use ICT to teach the skills and knowledge students need for the digital age. The integration of ICT into education provides opportunities for teachers and students to work better in a globalized digital age, particularly in teaching and learning environment, where teaching and learning can take place anytime and anywhere, 24-hours seven days a week. The purpose of this article is to identify the factors that influence teachers' decision to integrate ICT in teaching and learning. The study is chosen because of the strategic importance of ICT in education and particularly, its immense potential, to transform the ways in which teaching is carried out in the classroom. There are a lot of studies in the area, but very little empirical research has been conducted to examine this phenomenon from the teachers perceptive. The present article aims to fill this gap by using in-depth case studies, conceptualized within the grounded theory method to develop a model that will explain and enhance the understanding of the factors influencing teachers' integration of ICT in teaching and learning. The diffusion theory will provide the theoretical foundation for this study.

Educational institutions are striving for new methods for effective teaching. Flipped classroom (FC) method is one of the new trends spreading in higher education and attracting more instructors. This study aims at exploring the factors influencing the adoption of such a method and its benefits and challenges based on students' perceptions. The literature review suggested a few factors like benefits, enjoyment, innovation development, and social influence as major predictors of flipped classroom adoption. Responses from a sample of 200 students from Qatar University supported all predictors except the role of FC benefits in influencing the adoption. The model explained 62.9% of the adoption variance based on the coefficient of determination value. The authors conducted analysis on items and constructs levels to give more insights on the issues covered in this paper.

In recent decades, in world and domestic science there has been an increased interest in the study of problems that are somehow related to the phenomenon of the image of the educational institution. The growing interest in these issues is understandable for the following reasons. There is a formation of new socio-economic conditions of the organization, reforming the education system, globalization of the market of educational services and as a consequence of increased competition. The level of values that previously guided consumers of educational services is also changing. Which in turn affects the formation and development of the educational institution, as well as creates a need for effective image management of the organization. In this regard, each educational institution faces the task of maintaining autonomy and increasing educational potential through the use of modern management technologies. One of the important factors influencing the formation of the preferences of the target audience is the image of the educational institution. Due to the fact that intangible factors and tools are becoming increasingly important, they influence the choice of potential consumers of the educational institution. The article considers the main definitions of the concept of the image of the educational institution, its components, the impact of the image on the competitiveness of the educational institution and the main problems in image formation. Ways to improve the image in relation to the external and internal environment of the school are summarized.
