International labor migration in the Philippines started to gain its popularity during Marcos’ regime due to severe economic depression and lack of opportunities brought about by Martial Law. Over the years, there have been a drastic increase in the number of Filipinos who work abroad. The enduring feature of Philippine development of sending Filipinos abroad led the Department of Education to develop a new curriculum that would equip graduates with an increase in the productivity of human capital in the global market. This study explored how the Philippine educational system shaped students’ orientation towards international labor migration and how it could be used to lessen the number of Filipinos who would want to become part of the diaspora community. An autoethnographic qualitative design was employed to gain an extensive and deeper cultural understanding of the phenomenon. Overall, results in this study indicated that people considered education as an investment and a rational thing to have to make oneself more employable. Participants believed that their education contributed to their current situation, but did not necessarily shape them towards labor migration. Instead, their propensity to migrate influenced their educational decisions. Interestingly, the core theme that resonated on how education can respond to the phenomenon is to develop and enhance a curriculum that focuses on civic education reorienting them of their duties and responsibilities as Filipinos. A new ideal citizen is also defined.

The Work Immersion program of the Department of Education, under the newly established educational curriculum – K to 12, is one of the key features of this educational innovation. The researcher of this study would like to evaluate the effectiveness and its impacts to the students of John J. Russell Memorial High School, Sibul Springs, San Miguel, Bulacan. The study used the semi-structured interviews with the help of the researcher-made instrument. The said instrument is merely made by open-ended questions; this type of questions will open a wider space for the students to express their feelings and to voice out their insights regarding the problem. Researcher-made instruments were given to the chosen respondents by means of random sampling under the probability or unbiased category. This kind of sampling procedure is one of the simplest form of collecting data. The researcher used thematic analysis as a means to gain insight and knowledge from data gathered. The method enables the researcher to develop a deeper appreciation for the group or situation he is researching. Thus, the conclusion made by means of this analysis offered a wider, specific, attainable and reasonable recommendations.

This study aimed to assess the level of confidence and attitude of pre-service teachers on the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in teaching. The descriptive-correlation research design was used in this study to gather data on the confidence and attitude of pre-service teachers on the integration of ICT in teaching in Naval State University-College of Education for School Year 2015-2016. Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was conducted to support the data obtained from the respondents. A model was evolved to improve the instruction of ICT subject/course based from the findings obtained from the respondents. The models shows that the instruction of ICT subject will have three phases; ICT Proficiency, ICT Technical Skills and Application. These phases are significant to acquire confidence and have a positive attitude on the integration of ICT in teaching.As to the pre-service teachers profile most of them are on the age of 20, with more females than the males, most of them took the BEED program, wherein most of them are specializing SPED while the BSED program there are more who specialized English and only 10 are taking BSIE program. From the fifteen (15) indicators on confidence "I can use ICT effectively in Teaching" got the highest weighted mean and described to be more confident, the average weighted mean of the confidence of pre-service teacher was 3.65 described to more confident. On the attitude of the pre-service teachers on ICT integration in teaching, the attitude statement "Technology is useful in managing students data such as attendance and grades got the highest weighted mean of 4.56 interpreted as strongly agree. The average weighted mean of the attitude of the pre-service teachers' on the integration of ICT in teaching is 3.91 interpreted as agree, therefore they have a positive attitude on ICT integration in teaching. As to the relationship of variables, between the profile and confidence and between profile and attitude, the profile in terms of age, sex and specialization has no significant relationship to the confidence and as well as to attitude of the pre-service teachers' in integrating ICT in teaching. On the other hand, the profile in term of the program of the respondents had a significant relationship with the confidence and attitude of pre-service teachers' on ICT integration to teaching, the confidence had a high significant relationship to their attitude.It is recommended that technical aspect of ICT be emphasized in instruction; provision of additional computers, ICT resources and other instructional technologies; provision of educational technology laboratory, instructors and students will integrate ICT in discussion or teaching demonstration. It is highly recommended that the model evolved from this study will be utilized by instructors teaching ICT subjects, not just in the NSU-College of Education but also with other colleges in the university.
