Abstract: This study explores the influence of the teaching environment on the promotion and maintenance of professional ethics among secondary school teachers in Morogoro Municipality. Recognizing the increasing concerns over ethical standards in the education sector, the research sought to understand how various environmental factors either support or hinder ethical conduct among educators. A purposive sample of fifty secondary school teachers was selected to participate in the study. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires that assessed teachers' knowledge of the professional code of conduct, their lived experiences in the classroom, and the integrity of recruitment and promotion practices within their schools. The findings revealed a multidimensional relationship between the teaching environment and ethical behaviour. Important factors identified as promoting professional ethics included strong administrative leadership, clear ethical guidelines, consistent policy enforcement, and access to professional development opportunities. The study emphasized on the role of parental involvement and teacher collaboration in cultivating a morally grounded school culture. Teachers also highlighted the importance of fair recruitment processes and supportive working conditions, such as manageable workloads, adequate teaching materials, and safe school infrastructure as essential components that reinforce ethical commitment and teaching effectiveness. This study reveals that creating a supportive and ethically conscious teaching environment is vital not only for maintaining professional integrity among teachers but also for enhancing overall educational outcomes. The research recommends that policymakers, education administrators, and community stakeholders invest in holistic strategies that address environmental, organizational, and individual dimensions of teacher ethics to ensure sustainable and high-quality education delivery.

Abstract: This research aimed to explore the connection between the organizational climate and the work commitment of school heads, revealing how it affects their leadership styles within educational institutions. It utilized the quantitative method with 398 public school teachers with at least three years of service in the current station as the respondents. The study was conducted at the selected schools from eleven divisions in Region XI. The findings indicate that the organizational climate is at a very high level, while the degree of organizational commitment is also high. Moreover, results show that there is no significant association between organizational climate and organizational work commitment toward school head’s leadership style. Although studies claimed that while leadership style may influence organizational climate and commitment, organizational climate and commitment’s influence on leadership style is less significant and often inconsistent. Among the predictors of the leadership styles given in the study none of them are statistically significant. Moreover, future researchers may study other potential predictors maybe because predictors used in this study may not fully capture the factors that influence leadership styles. Likewise, they may also look into the impact of certain predictors on leadership styles is mediated by other factors, such as leader-follower interactions, employee engagement, or motivation.

Abstract: This study investigated factors influencing the teaching of the throwing method in ceramics among secondary school learners in Mufulira District, Copperbelt Province, Zambia. The objectives were to assess teacher expertise, examine resource availability, explore the impact of attitudes on learning outcomes, and suggest strategies for improvement. A mixed methods approach was used, involving 105 participants and data collected via questionnaires and interviews. The quantitative data obtained were analyzed using software such as SPSS whereas the qualitative date were analyzed using study themes. The study findings found that the teaching of the throwing method in ceramics under Art and Design in selected secondary schools is influenced by a range of interrelated factors that hinder effective instruction and skill acquisition. One major factor is the lack of adequate teaching and learning materials, such as potter’s wheels, quality clay, and glazing equipment, which are essential for practical training. Additionally, limited infrastructure and inadequate classroom space constrain the proper setup of functional art studios necessary for ceramic work. Another key challenge is the shortage of qualified and specialized Art and Design teachers who possess the technical skills and pedagogical knowledge to effectively teach the throwing method. The study therefore recommended that the Ministry of Education, in collaboration with school administrations and relevant stakeholders, prioritize the provision of specialized teaching materials and equipment such as potter’s wheels, quality clay, and functional art studios.

Abstract: This research examines the readiness of teachers to adopt inclusive education practices, focusing on their access to learning materials and understanding of differentiated teaching methods to meet diverse learners' needs. Using a random sampling method, 160 permanent teachers with at least three years of service from three districts in the Schools Division of the City of Mati participated. A survey questionnaire assessed their readiness for inclusive education. Results revealed a high level of teacher readiness (mean = 4.23) and strong pedagogical formation (mean = 4.40), with teachers generally perceiving learning resources as adequate (mean = 4.16). Statistical analysis showed significant positive relationships between teacher readiness, pedagogical competence, and resource availability. Age was the only demographic factor with a significant effect on readiness and related variables. The hypothesis of significant relationships among readiness, pedagogy, and resource availability was rejected. The study concludes that enhancing teacher training, improving access to learning materials, and strengthening policy and leadership support are essential for effective inclusive education implementation.

Abstract: Leadership competencies are essential for effective governance and transformation in higher education institutions. This paper explores the applicability of global leadership competency frameworks within the context of Philippine State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), using Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) as a case study. Drawing from prior empirical data and employing a qualitative framework analysis, the study maps EVSU faculty leadership competencies against four global models: Kouzes and Posner’s Five Practices, the ACRL Leadership Competency Framework, the IAU Global Framework, and Avolio and Bass’s Transformational Leadership Theory. Results reveal strong alignment in ethical leadership, collaboration, and role modeling, highlighting faculty strengths in interpersonal and values-driven leadership. However, gaps were identified in areas such as visionary leadership, change management, and global sustainability, underscoring the need for locally grounded yet globally informed leadership development strategies. This study contributes to academic discourse by showing how global frameworks can be contextualized to strengthen faculty leadership in developing country settings. It advocates for targeted capacity-building programs that align with international benchmarks while addressing unique institutional challenges. By integrating global best practices with local realities, SUCs can better prepare faculty leaders to drive educational excellence and institutional resilience.

Abstract: Globally, the flipped classroom strategy has emerged as an innovative and transformative approach to teaching and learning, aimed at promoting active student engagement and improving academic outcomes, particularly in Physics education. Despite its increasing adoption worldwide, the effectiveness of this approach in resource-constrained settings like rural Kenya remains underexplored. This study examined the effect of the flipped classroom strategy on students’ achievement in Physics among secondary school learners in Kauma Sub-County, Kilifi County, Kenya. The rationale for the study stems from the persistent low performance in Physics in the region, calling for alternative pedagogical approaches that can enhance conceptual understanding and learner motivation. A quasi-experimental research design was employed, comparing an experimental group exposed to the flipped classroom strategy with a control group taught through conventional methods. Data were collected using pre-tests and post-tests to assess achievement levels. These results suggest that the flipped classroom strategy enhances conceptual understanding and active learning, offering a promising approach to improving Physics education in Kenyan secondary schools. The study recommends the integration of flipped learning approaches into teacher training and classroom instruction to advance quality education in science subjects.

Abstract: This paper highlights the acceptability of a supplementary module developed for Organic Chemistry Education. The development of the module is relevant to the Theory of Constructivism, where students can learn new ideas based on their prior knowledge and experiences gained during discussions. The module was developed using the Successive Approximation Model (SAM). This utilizes the iterative process–the module was first validated by experts and revised before it was distributed to the students for use. This process ensures a well-designed module to aid in the learning needs of the students. The validation of the module, as evaluated by experts, revealed a high overall mean (4.53) and content validity index (CVI) (0.92). This denotes a valid learning module to aid the learning difficulty of students in the subject. Meanwhile, students assessed the acceptability of the developed learning module. The results (overall mean = 4.294) revealed “High Acceptability” of the developed learning module. This indicates that the module demonstrates potential as an effective instructional tool among students enrolled in Organic Chemistry classes. However, students noted areas needing improvement, such as the addition of more examples, illustrations, and learning activities.

Keywords: successive approximation model, supplementary module, student acceptability, instructional material.
