John B-Bacolod hosts two virtual webinars for faculty and student researchers of the University

To further enhance the research capability of faculty members and students, the System Research Team had identified webinars for inclusion in the University Annual Operations Plan for Research for the school year 2021-2022 (Reference: AOP Strategic Objective 3- Improve the research capability and motivation of faculty, staff, and student researchers). First in the series are the webinars on (1) Reference Management Software & Utilizing Various Search Engines for Research and (2) Research Ethics: Establishing an Institutional Research Ethics Review Board and Ethical Considerations in Research, both hosted by JBLCF-Bacolod.

The webinar on Reference Management Software & Utilizing Various Search Engines for Research was held on October 18, 2021, 8:30-11:30 A.M., with Ms. Elisa V. Garcia, the Chief Librarian of JBLCF-Bacolod and an active researcher and member of the Unit Research Committee, as the Resource Speaker. This webinar aimed to familiarize the faculty and student researchers with how to manage their references in research writing and the proper way of citing and listing various types of sources. It also aimed to acquaint them with various search engines to source their references. This event was graced by the attendance of people from all the three academic units of JBLFMU, including the Graduate School.

The webinar on Research Ethics: Establishing an Institutional Research Ethics Review Board and Ethical Considerations, on the other hand, aimed to acquaint the JBLFMU Research Team and other research enthusiasts of the University with the process of establishing an Institutional Research Ethics Review Board, which is now one of the major requirements of CHED. On the part of the faculty and staff researchers, the webinar was organized to educate them about some ethical issues that should be considered in research writing. This event was held on November 12, 2021, 9:00-12:00 P.M. It was graced by Dr. Anabelle D. Magbanua, Director for Research Ethics Review Office of the University of St. La Salle, who shared her expertise and experience as the event’s Resource Speaker. Ninety-two regular participants and Department Heads from the three academic units of the University have joined this webinar.

Much appreciation is expressed for the united efforts of the Unit Research Coordinators, Dr. Brian Gil S. Sarinas of JBLFMU-Arevalo, Dr. Rolando A. Alimen of JBLFMU-Molo, and Dr. Emeliza T. Estimo of the host unit (JBLCF-Bacolod), under the leadership of Dr. Melchor M. Magramo, Research Director of the University, for the success of these activities.

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 21^st 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!”

Another feat worthy of recognition is that by Ms. Alyn G. Libertad of the College of Maritime Education. Miss Libertad successfully presented her paper entitled “Online Learning: A 21^st-Century Alternative Approach to Maritime Education” at the 3^rd 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.
