Unit Research Colloquium ‘22 features ‘adaptive and responsive’ studies

This year’s Unit Research Colloquium and Utilization Workshop highlighted studies that are responsive to the needs of the time and adaptive to the change of times. The said affirmation came from the paper reactors during the colloquium conducted last September 23, 2022, as stated by Dr. Brian Gil S. Sarinas, John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (Arevalo), Inc. Research Coordinator. He indicated further that there is certainly a need to produce high-caliber outputs in the landscape of the new normal, worthy of research expert’s recognition, and relevant to the educational context we are experiencing today.

The studies presented were: Faculty and Students’ Feedback on the Use of JeL and the Academic Performance of Students in Navigation 1 (Navigation Instruments with Compasses) by C/M Kristoffer G. Pulmones; Faculty and Students’ Feedback on the Use of JeL and the Academic Performance of Students in Nav 3 (Terrestrial and Coastal Navigation 2) by 2/M Nicolas M. Tuares; JBLFMU Core Values: Application and Life Inculcation Among Students, Faculty, and Staff by Ms. Richen Mae M.
