By: Mrs. Ma. Elena S. Francisco

The JBLFMU-Arevalo Research and Development Center spearheads the Research Capability Training on Action, Feasibility, Applied, and Developmental Research Designs and Research Proposal Presentation and Critiquing held last November 19, 2021 through a virtual zoom conference.

Two seasoned researchers were the resource speakers during the training.

Dr. Aris C. Larroder, a Faculty of Philippine Science High School – Western Visayas, talked about research designs particularly Action, Feasibility, Applied, and Developmental, while Dr. Brian Gil S. Sarinas, JA Research Coordinator, discussed the basic concepts in research.

The department heads, faculty, staff, students, and JA partner schools attended the said virtual training.

College of Maritime Education Researchers of JBLCF-Bacolod Go International

November 2021 has been another productive year for JBLCF-Bacolod with the successful paper presentations of two of our active researchers in the College of Maritime Education.

Dr. Joecil T. Solidarios, a Physical Education instructor, successfully presented her paper entitled, “Effect of Audio-Visual Instruction on Front Crawl Swimming Performance of First-Year BSMT Students” at the 21st Annual Conference of the South East Asian Association for Institutional Research (SEAAIR) on November 23-24, 2021. Due to travel restrictions brought about by the pandemic, this year’s SEAAIR conference was held virtually and was participated in by countries like Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The theme of the conference was “Diversity in Education.” Dr. Solidarios has consistently been an active researcher and member of the Unit Research Committee of JBLCF-Bacolod. In her statement, she said, I am grateful to Dr. Emeliza Estimo, my student participants, our PE instructors, Ms. Geneveve Aguilar, 2/M Eleno Sing, Engr. Roberto Neal Sobrejuanite and my husband Stephen Solidarios, for their support in making this research and presentation possible. All glory belongs to our dear Almighty God!”

Miss Libertad successfully presented her paper entitled “Online Learning: A 21st-Century Alternative Approach to Maritime Education” at the 3rd International Research Conference on Teach Education and Indigenous Peoples Education held on November 20-27 and December 4, 2021 and hosted by the Philippine Normal University. She brought home the bacon by winning the Best Research Presenter Award among more than 100 presenting researchers at the conference.

Dr. Solidarios and Miss Libertad have been instrumental in helping Bacolod meet one of our Research AOP targets for this school year. But more than that, it is the values that they had learned —the strengthened work values, the honed skills, the fears they had overcome, the fulfillment from having achieved something more for themselves and others, and the gratitude that comes from a grateful heart—that had made the experience something worth remembering.

by: Ma. Elena S. Francisco

An online research colloquium sponsored by the Visayas Maritime Research Cooperation (MARC) was held through FB live last September 21, 2021 on its fifth year activity. Its theme was “Seafarers: At the Core of Shipping’s Future.”

Two faculty members and active researchers, Engr. Roderick R. Germo, Ph.D. and C/M Nelson S. Ebiota, Ph.D. from JBLFMU- Arevalo presented their papers entitled “Blended Learning Approach in Improving Student’s Academic Performance in Information Communication, and Technology (ICT)” and “The Use of Institutional Development and Innovation Grant (IDIG) E-module to Improve the Students’ Academic Performance in Meteorology and Oceanography 2”, respectively.

RAISING JBLFMU’S BANNER AT THE IAMU AGA 21

Reported by JBLCF-Bacolod

October 27, 2021, had been a challenging day for Dr. Emeliza T. Estimo, Research Coordinator, and Engr. Roberto Neal S. Sobrejuanite, Administrator of JBLCF-Bacolod, as they braced themselves for their virtual paper presentation at the 21 Annual General Assembly and Conference. Their paper entitled “Remote Instruction: Challenges, Initiatives, and Future Directions for Maritime Institutions in a Developing Country” was one of the few papers selected for oral presentation at the conference. Like the rest of the aspiring researchers who sent their manuscripts for screening, Dr. Estimo and Engr. Sobrejuanite went through a stringent process. On August 18, 2021, they were informed that their contribution to the IAMUC 21 had been accepted for oral presentation. However, due to travel restrictions resulting from the pandemic, they could not join the rest of the participants in Alexandria, Egypt. In consideration to all participants who could not be physically present at the venue, arrangements had been made possible by the host university to allow them to present virtually, on live telecon thru Zoom, following the Cairo, Egypt time zone. The audience was composed of participants from the actual venue and those who were attending the conference online. Dr. Estimo, who presented on behalf of their tandem, presented their paper at 8:30 in the evening, Philippine Time. The 21 IAMU Annual General Assembly and Conference was hosted by the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT). JBLFMU was the first maritime university in the Philippines that had become a member of the IAMU.

Three papers authored by seven faculty and staff researchers from JBLCF-Bacolod had been accepted for oral presentation by the Organizing Committee of the 9th International Maritime Science Conference (IMSC) held on September 9-10, 2021, in Varna, Bulgaria. The Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy hosted this international conference. The IMSC 2021 provides an ideal academic platform for researchers to present the latest research findings and describe emerging technologies and directions in Maritime Science and Maritime Education issues. The conference seeks to contribute to presenting novel research results in all aspects of Maritime Science. The annual IMSC conference aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results in the area of their topics of interest. It also provides the premier interdisciplinary forum for scientists, engineers, practitioners, and maritime companies to present their ideas, developments, and applications in all areas of Maritime Sciences. For the 2021 conference, the committee had extended their invitation to Maritime Educational Institutions for topics on Education and training, Marine Engineering, Navigation, Marine Ecology, Maritime Health, Up-To-Date Technologies, Safety and security, and Human resources in transport, among other topics.

The travel restrictions brought by the pandemic prevented the researchers from attending the event physically. However, the conference committee has provided opportunities to include the papers in the program proceedings and for the papers to be published in Pedagogika-Pedagogy, a journal indexed in the Web of Science. Pedagogika is a scientific theoretical and methodological journal that combines knowledge areas in a broader range of information, such as pre-school education, primary education, education for adults, comparative education, special education, history of pedagogy, social education pedagogy. The journal’s focus is all educational levels – from pre-school, primary, secondary, and higher education to learning through life.
