Abstract:This study aimed to develop and validate a Technostress scale for Filipino students using development and research method. Items in the scale were constructed through interviews with purposively selected tertiary students and were subjected to validation by experts. Results showed a high level of content and face validity. Exploratory Factor Analysis showed five misfits of the scale: abilities-demands of technology, abilities-demands of a school requirement, person-people, needs-supplies of technology, and needs-supplies of the school. In addition, Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that the model of the scale has an acceptable fit. The convergent and discriminant validity results revealed that the scale exhibits psychometric quality, and the items reliably measure their corresponding constructs. Based on the reliability index, the questionnaire could yield the same results even after multiple trials. Therefore, educators can use the developed technostress scale to diagnose students with problems adjusting to a technology-based learning environment.

Abstract:Using the theory of change, the impact of the Science Teachers Enhancement via Extension (SciTEE) Project of a state university in the northern part of Luzon, Philippines, was evaluated. Through the mixed method of research, the study investigated the extension profile, project level of implementation, outputs, outcomes, and impact after being implemented for five years. The participants of the different extension activities were the respondents. The process of triangulation was utilized to gather the data needed. Through the project, the beneficiaries enriched their knowledge of selected science content, developed their ICT skills in teaching, acquired knowledge and skills on the proper use of science equipment, and developed their skills in research and in making instructional materials. The Project contributed to the capacity building of the beneficiaries, their social and economic development, lifelong learning skills, and generally contributing to the global goal of preparing teachers for 21st-century learning.
