Welcome to Singapore Southeast Asias first world country

I welcome you to the Asian conference on education and Technology with the theme education and Technology connecting People and Developing lives at the marriott Hotel a home away from home for scientists and educators The AceT 2014 is organized by the IAmURe multidisciplinary Research with 37 institutional members and 1300 individual members from over 40 countries AceT is co-hosted

by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

Why education and Technology education achieves its goals through application of technology Talknology is out Technology is in The digital divide that stratifies the education enhanced from the education challenged countries is largely due to a lack of fit between education and technology While the world is wired and interconnected through the internet many students remain deprived of digital access The world of work demands a higher degree of computer literacy and those who do not have it have little chance of getting employed

Why connecting People education bridges the understanding for nationalism and globalism tribalism and internationalism This understanding is translated to reality by the application of technology If people get connected then we have a chance to become one people one world Through technology we get to know world events and how people live across the borders With social media we generate world opinions and synchronize efforts to change the world We can tell our government leaders that this is the path we want to go and force our leaders to take the straight path ahead or we remove them from power and authority that they do not deserve Today the enemy of tyrants is technology No despotic leader can hide his wicked deeds from the eyes of the world with the presence of technology

Why Developing lives The purpose of education is for people to use what they know to make intelligent fundamental choices to benefit their lives and the society The purpose of technology is to make quality of life happen so people can enjoy the fruits of their labor and that of national development

Today I am happy to share to you that IAmURe to which you belong as scientists and researchers just completed Internal Quality Audit and third Surveillance Audit by the AJA Registrars our certifying body These rigid quality assurance mechanisms are designed to make sure our core processes such as journal publication journal evaluation research conferences and design and development of training modules for researchers are in accord to internationally accepted quality practices AceT follows ISo QmS 90012008 procedures

There is so much to experience in Singapore and we are here to learn to collaborate and unite as keepers of the truth

Technology has for at least two decades radically changed the education process Research on innovations in education and technology has become imperative if we have to consider how they are connecting people and developing lives across the globe Radical changes indeed are affecting people across the globe and these are evident in the learning venues

engagement in learning is the most important characteristic of a technology-rich school When one looks across the room every person is leaning forward interacting with the teacher with other students or with the content learning that occurs online is different from learning that happens in traditional classrooms In the past online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom But going forward interactions will be the key Just as people engage in online interactions students must be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom And today the available technology is often a shared resource As we transition to a digital learning environment and each learner has his or her own device we will be able to facilitate personalization participation interaction and collaborationmdashwith people who might be right there in the classroom or people who might be across the world Access is hugely important it is a basic necessity for learners of all ages everywhere There are reasons to say that access is becoming better now than before First digital and mobile devices are proliferating and are available at lower costs second the amount and quality of digital content for learning is exploding and third interactive environments online are becoming easier to use and more useful Students must have a digital device with them in class just as they have had their folder textbook and pencil box In addition to addressing the digital divide we need to address the pedagogical divide We can use technology and the opportunity for learning online to provide more balanced learning opportunities for students This digital learning environment can augment the capacity of the teacher And we can improve the opportunity for teachers to learn from one another

These are a few of the considerations that research on education and technology can tackle As the need for novel ideas proliferate research associations like IAmURe are therefore challenged to move forward in doing research and sharing findings to others for purposes of improving connections among people and improving lives Thus it is most opportune that the International Association for multidisciplinary Research (IAmURe) is holding the Asian conference on education and Technology 2014 in Singapore an ASeAN country known for its excellent education and technology advancement I am sure that the participants will be able to learn and experience utmost satisfaction from meeting their colleagues throughout the world I wish you all wonderful time more power

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

Welcome to Singapore Southeast Asias first world country

I welcome you to the Asian conference on education and Technology with the theme education and Technology connecting People and Developing lives at the marriott Hotel a home away from home for scientists and educators The AceT 2014 is organized by the IAmURe multidisciplinary Research with 37 institutional members and 1300 individual members from over 40 countries AceT is co-hosted

by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

Why education and Technology education achieves its goals through application of technology Talknology is out Technology is in The digital divide that stratifies the education enhanced from the education challenged countries is largely due to a lack of fit between education and technology While the world is wired and interconnected through the internet many students remain deprived of digital access The world of work demands a higher degree of computer literacy and those who do not have it have little chance of getting employed

Why connecting People education bridges the understanding for nationalism and globalism tribalism and internationalism This understanding is translated to reality by the application of technology If people get connected then we have a chance to become one people one world Through technology we get to know world events and how people live across the borders With social media we generate world opinions and synchronize efforts to change the world We can tell our government leaders that this is the path we want to go and force our leaders to take the straight path ahead or we remove them from power and authority that they do not deserve Today the enemy of tyrants is technology No despotic leader can hide his wicked deeds from the eyes of the world with the presence of technology

Why Developing lives The purpose of education is for people to use what they know to make intelligent fundamental choices to benefit their lives and the society The purpose of technology is to make quality of life happen so people can enjoy the fruits of their labor and that of national development

Today I am happy to share to you that IAmURe to which you belong as scientists and researchers just completed Internal Quality Audit and third Surveillance Audit by the AJA Registrars our certifying body These rigid quality assurance mechanisms are designed to make sure our core processes such as journal publication journal evaluation research conferences and design and development of training modules for researchers are in accord to internationally accepted quality practices AceT follows ISo QmS 90012008 procedures

There is so much to experience in Singapore and we are here to learn to collaborate and unite as keepers of the truth

Technology has for at least two decades radically changed the education process Research on innovations in education and technology has become imperative if we have to consider how they are connecting people and developing lives across the globe Radical changes indeed are affecting people across the globe and these are evident in the learning venues

engagement in learning is the most important characteristic of a technology-rich school When one looks across the room every person is leaning forward interacting with the teacher with other students or with the content learning that occurs online is different from learning that happens in traditional classrooms In the past online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom But going forward interactions will be the key Just as people engage in online interactions students must be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom And today the available technology is often a shared resource As we transition to a digital learning environment and each learner has his or her own device we will be able to facilitate personalization participation interaction and collaborationmdashwith people who might be right there in the classroom or people who might be across the world Access is hugely important it is a basic necessity for learners of all ages everywhere There are reasons to say that access is becoming better now than before First digital and mobile devices are proliferating and are available at lower costs second the amount and quality of digital content for learning is exploding and third interactive environments online are becoming easier to use and more useful Students must have a digital device with them in class just as they have had their folder textbook and pencil box In addition to addressing the digital divide we need to address the pedagogical divide We can use technology and the opportunity for learning online to provide more balanced learning opportunities for students This digital learning environment can augment the capacity of the teacher And we can improve the opportunity for teachers to learn from one another

These are a few of the considerations that research on education and technology can tackle As the need for novel ideas proliferate research associations like IAmURe are therefore challenged to move forward in doing research and sharing findings to others for purposes of improving connections among people and improving lives Thus it is most opportune that the International Association for multidisciplinary Research (IAmURe) is holding the Asian conference on education and Technology 2014 in Singapore an ASeAN country known for its excellent education and technology advancement I am sure that the participants will be able to learn and experience utmost satisfaction from meeting their colleagues throughout the world I wish you all wonderful time more power

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

Theme Education and Technology Connecting People Developing Lives

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

Welcome to Singapore Southeast Asias first world country

I welcome you to the Asian conference on education and Technology with the theme education and Technology connecting People and Developing lives at the marriott Hotel a home away from home for scientists and educators The AceT 2014 is organized by the IAmURe multidisciplinary Research with 37 institutional members and 1300 individual members from over 40 countries AceT is co-hosted

by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

Why education and Technology education achieves its goals through application of technology Talknology is out Technology is in The digital divide that stratifies the education enhanced from the education challenged countries is largely due to a lack of fit between education and technology While the world is wired and interconnected through the internet many students remain deprived of digital access The world of work demands a higher degree of computer literacy and those who do not have it have little chance of getting employed

Why connecting People education bridges the understanding for nationalism and globalism tribalism and internationalism This understanding is translated to reality by the application of technology If people get connected then we have a chance to become one people one world Through technology we get to know world events and how people live across the borders With social media we generate world opinions and synchronize efforts to change the world We can tell our government leaders that this is the path we want to go and force our leaders to take the straight path ahead or we remove them from power and authority that they do not deserve Today the enemy of tyrants is technology No despotic leader can hide his wicked deeds from the eyes of the world with the presence of technology

Why Developing lives The purpose of education is for people to use what they know to make intelligent fundamental choices to benefit their lives and the society The purpose of technology is to make quality of life happen so people can enjoy the fruits of their labor and that of national development

Today I am happy to share to you that IAmURe to which you belong as scientists and researchers just completed Internal Quality Audit and third Surveillance Audit by the AJA Registrars our certifying body These rigid quality assurance mechanisms are designed to make sure our core processes such as journal publication journal evaluation research conferences and design and development of training modules for researchers are in accord to internationally accepted quality practices AceT follows ISo QmS 90012008 procedures

There is so much to experience in Singapore and we are here to learn to collaborate and unite as keepers of the truth

Technology has for at least two decades radically changed the education process Research on innovations in education and technology has become imperative if we have to consider how they are connecting people and developing lives across the globe Radical changes indeed are affecting people across the globe and these are evident in the learning venues

engagement in learning is the most important characteristic of a technology-rich school When one looks across the room every person is leaning forward interacting with the teacher with other students or with the content learning that occurs online is different from learning that happens in traditional classrooms In the past online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom But going forward interactions will be the key Just as people engage in online interactions students must be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom And today the available technology is often a shared resource As we transition to a digital learning environment and each learner has his or her own device we will be able to facilitate personalization participation interaction and collaborationmdashwith people who might be right there in the classroom or people who might be across the world Access is hugely important it is a basic necessity for learners of all ages everywhere There are reasons to say that access is becoming better now than before First digital and mobile devices are proliferating and are available at lower costs second the amount and quality of digital content for learning is exploding and third interactive environments online are becoming easier to use and more useful Students must have a digital device with them in class just as they have had their folder textbook and pencil box In addition to addressing the digital divide we need to address the pedagogical divide We can use technology and the opportunity for learning online to provide more balanced learning opportunities for students This digital learning environment can augment the capacity of the teacher And we can improve the opportunity for teachers to learn from one another

These are a few of the considerations that research on education and technology can tackle As the need for novel ideas proliferate research associations like IAmURe are therefore challenged to move forward in doing research and sharing findings to others for purposes of improving connections among people and improving lives Thus it is most opportune that the International Association for multidisciplinary Research (IAmURe) is holding the Asian conference on education and Technology 2014 in Singapore an ASeAN country known for its excellent education and technology advancement I am sure that the participants will be able to learn and experience utmost satisfaction from meeting their colleagues throughout the world I wish you all wonderful time more power

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

In 2012 the Association of certified Fraud examiners stated that 43 of frauds are detected by tip money The role of tips for the people is a crucial factor in disclosing frauds most often company frauds are revealed by a whistle blower Willingness to be a whistle blower can be determined by both internal and external factors This study attempts to observe the dimensions of the existence and role of the organization of internal auditors and the witness protection agency as external factors influencing an internal auditor to become a whistle-blower It also explores the effects of the internal auditor competencies the moral attitude of the internal auditor and the ethical behavior of companyrsquos internal auditors as internal factors influencing an internal auditor on being a whistle-blower The independent auditors are considered as the population as they are often connected with the internal auditors They need the information from the internal auditor about fraud or abuse in the company Questionnaires were mailed to them and analyzed using Partial least Squares It showed that only the ethical behavior of companyrsquos internal auditors influenced them to be whistle blowers coupled by a witness protection program In order to develop sound corporate governance in Indonesia a whistle blower system is needed with emphasis on a strong witness protection At present Indonesia does not have the whistle blower act

Welcome to Singapore Southeast Asias first world country

I welcome you to the Asian conference on education and Technology with the theme education and Technology connecting People and Developing lives at the marriott Hotel a home away from home for scientists and educators The AceT 2014 is organized by the IAmURe multidisciplinary Research with 37 institutional members and 1300 individual members from over 40 countries AceT is co-hosted

by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

Why education and Technology education achieves its goals through application of technology Talknology is out Technology is in The digital divide that stratifies the education enhanced from the education challenged countries is largely due to a lack of fit between education and technology While the world is wired and interconnected through the internet many students remain deprived of digital access The world of work demands a higher degree of computer literacy and those who do not have it have little chance of getting employed

Why connecting People education bridges the understanding for nationalism and globalism tribalism and internationalism This understanding is translated to reality by the application of technology If people get connected then we have a chance to become one people one world Through technology we get to know world events and how people live across the borders With social media we generate world opinions and synchronize efforts to change the world We can tell our government leaders that this is the path we want to go and force our leaders to take the straight path ahead or we remove them from power and authority that they do not deserve Today the enemy of tyrants is technology No despotic leader can hide his wicked deeds from the eyes of the world with the presence of technology

Why Developing lives The purpose of education is for people to use what they know to make intelligent fundamental choices to benefit their lives and the society The purpose of technology is to make quality of life happen so people can enjoy the fruits of their labor and that of national development

Today I am happy to share to you that IAmURe to which you belong as scientists and researchers just completed Internal Quality Audit and third Surveillance Audit by the AJA Registrars our certifying body These rigid quality assurance mechanisms are designed to make sure our core processes such as journal publication journal evaluation research conferences and design and development of training modules for researchers are in accord to internationally accepted quality practices AceT follows ISo QmS 90012008 procedures

There is so much to experience in Singapore and we are here to learn to collaborate and unite as keepers of the truth

Technology has for at least two decades radically changed the education process Research on innovations in education and technology has become imperative if we have to consider how they are connecting people and developing lives across the globe Radical changes indeed are affecting people across the globe and these are evident in the learning venues

engagement in learning is the most important characteristic of a technology-rich school When one looks across the room every person is leaning forward interacting with the teacher with other students or with the content learning that occurs online is different from learning that happens in traditional classrooms In the past online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom But going forward interactions will be the key Just as people engage in online interactions students must be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom And today the available technology is often a shared resource As we transition to a digital learning environment and each learner has his or her own device we will be able to facilitate personalization participation interaction and collaborationmdashwith people who might be right there in the classroom or people who might be across the world Access is hugely important it is a basic necessity for learners of all ages everywhere There are reasons to say that access is becoming better now than before First digital and mobile devices are proliferating and are available at lower costs second the amount and quality of digital content for learning is exploding and third interactive environments online are becoming easier to use and more useful Students must have a digital device with them in class just as they have had their folder textbook and pencil box In addition to addressing the digital divide we need to address the pedagogical divide We can use technology and the opportunity for learning online to provide more balanced learning opportunities for students This digital learning environment can augment the capacity of the teacher And we can improve the opportunity for teachers to learn from one another

These are a few of the considerations that research on education and technology can tackle As the need for novel ideas proliferate research associations like IAmURe are therefore challenged to move forward in doing research and sharing findings to others for purposes of improving connections among people and improving lives Thus it is most opportune that the International Association for multidisciplinary Research (IAmURe) is holding the Asian conference on education and Technology 2014 in Singapore an ASeAN country known for its excellent education and technology advancement I am sure that the participants will be able to learn and experience utmost satisfaction from meeting their colleagues throughout the world I wish you all wonderful time more power

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

Stem borers are the most important species of insects that could infest rice plants from seedling to maturity and thus play a major role in crop losses The study of their mandible that is used in feeding of stem borer would help understand the mechanisms and variations that could affect the adaptation and modification affecting severity of infestation In this study the mandible of two population of stem borers the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) and the striped stem borer (chilo suppressalis) in three rice varieties IR-66 Pioneer 77 and Bigante were used to analyze the adaptation with regard to mandible shape in relation to rice variety in the same geographical location using outline-based (elliptic Fourier) geometric morphometric (Gm) analysis to determine the shape variations in the left and right mandible of two population of stem borers Further scatter plot method was used to illustrate variations in the shapes of the mandibles between population Results of this study showed symmetrical shape variations in the right and left mandible of the two species of stem borers and their accumulation to the kind of rice plant varieties were not selective

Bats are biological species that can be influenced by environmental changes The nature and understanding of the adaptation and survival of bats as biological indicators of the health of the ecosystem is essential for preservation and conservation strategies Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) are fine and random deviations from perfect symmetry of organismrsquos morphology It is considered as a reliable factor for measuring developmental instability because it reflects both genetic and environmental stresses especially in endangered populations Hypothesis assumes that FA has costs and reflects the degree of stress and quality of individuals herewith a direct relationship between FA and developmental instability The study determined the developmental instability via fluctuating asymmetry of Rousettus ampexicaudatus a fruit bat Using landmark method for shape asymmetry anatomical and mathematical landmarks were used and analyzed using Symmetry and Asymmetry in Geometric Data (SAGe) program Results yield highly significant FA for both populations examined (Tamboco cave amp claise cave Bohol) However population from claise cave in Nagtuang of loon has relatively higher FA and percentage of variation based on the Principal component Analysis (PcA) Thus the bat population in claise cave experienced a higher degree of stress

In 2012 the Association of certified Fraud examiners stated that 43 of frauds are detected by tip money The role of tips for the people is a crucial factor in disclosing frauds most often company frauds are revealed by a whistle blower Willingness to be a whistle blower can be determined by both internal and external factors This study attempts to observe the dimensions of the existence and role of the organization of internal auditors and the witness protection agency as external factors influencing an internal auditor to become a whistle-blower It also explores the effects of the internal auditor competencies the moral attitude of the internal auditor and the ethical behavior of companyrsquos internal auditors as internal factors influencing an internal auditor on being a whistle-blower The independent auditors are considered as the population as they are often connected with the internal auditors They need the information from the internal auditor about fraud or abuse in the company Questionnaires were mailed to them and analyzed using Partial least Squares It showed that only the ethical behavior of companyrsquos internal auditors influenced them to be whistle blowers coupled by a witness protection program In order to develop sound corporate governance in Indonesia a whistle blower system is needed with emphasis on a strong witness protection At present Indonesia does not have the whistle blower act

Welcome to Singapore Southeast Asias first world country

I welcome you to the Asian conference on education and Technology with the theme education and Technology connecting People and Developing lives at the marriott Hotel a home away from home for scientists and educators The AceT 2014 is organized by the IAmURe multidisciplinary Research with 37 institutional members and 1300 individual members from over 40 countries AceT is co-hosted

by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

Why education and Technology education achieves its goals through application of technology Talknology is out Technology is in The digital divide that stratifies the education enhanced from the education challenged countries is largely due to a lack of fit between education and technology While the world is wired and interconnected through the internet many students remain deprived of digital access The world of work demands a higher degree of computer literacy and those who do not have it have little chance of getting employed

Why connecting People education bridges the understanding for nationalism and globalism tribalism and internationalism This understanding is translated to reality by the application of technology If people get connected then we have a chance to become one people one world Through technology we get to know world events and how people live across the borders With social media we generate world opinions and synchronize efforts to change the world We can tell our government leaders that this is the path we want to go and force our leaders to take the straight path ahead or we remove them from power and authority that they do not deserve Today the enemy of tyrants is technology No despotic leader can hide his wicked deeds from the eyes of the world with the presence of technology

Why Developing lives The purpose of education is for people to use what they know to make intelligent fundamental choices to benefit their lives and the society The purpose of technology is to make quality of life happen so people can enjoy the fruits of their labor and that of national development

Today I am happy to share to you that IAmURe to which you belong as scientists and researchers just completed Internal Quality Audit and third Surveillance Audit by the AJA Registrars our certifying body These rigid quality assurance mechanisms are designed to make sure our core processes such as journal publication journal evaluation research conferences and design and development of training modules for researchers are in accord to internationally accepted quality practices AceT follows ISo QmS 90012008 procedures

There is so much to experience in Singapore and we are here to learn to collaborate and unite as keepers of the truth

Technology has for at least two decades radically changed the education process Research on innovations in education and technology has become imperative if we have to consider how they are connecting people and developing lives across the globe Radical changes indeed are affecting people across the globe and these are evident in the learning venues

engagement in learning is the most important characteristic of a technology-rich school When one looks across the room every person is leaning forward interacting with the teacher with other students or with the content learning that occurs online is different from learning that happens in traditional classrooms In the past online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom But going forward interactions will be the key Just as people engage in online interactions students must be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom And today the available technology is often a shared resource As we transition to a digital learning environment and each learner has his or her own device we will be able to facilitate personalization participation interaction and collaborationmdashwith people who might be right there in the classroom or people who might be across the world Access is hugely important it is a basic necessity for learners of all ages everywhere There are reasons to say that access is becoming better now than before First digital and mobile devices are proliferating and are available at lower costs second the amount and quality of digital content for learning is exploding and third interactive environments online are becoming easier to use and more useful Students must have a digital device with them in class just as they have had their folder textbook and pencil box In addition to addressing the digital divide we need to address the pedagogical divide We can use technology and the opportunity for learning online to provide more balanced learning opportunities for students This digital learning environment can augment the capacity of the teacher And we can improve the opportunity for teachers to learn from one another

These are a few of the considerations that research on education and technology can tackle As the need for novel ideas proliferate research associations like IAmURe are therefore challenged to move forward in doing research and sharing findings to others for purposes of improving connections among people and improving lives Thus it is most opportune that the International Association for multidisciplinary Research (IAmURe) is holding the Asian conference on education and Technology 2014 in Singapore an ASeAN country known for its excellent education and technology advancement I am sure that the participants will be able to learn and experience utmost satisfaction from meeting their colleagues throughout the world I wish you all wonderful time more power

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

Theme Education and Technology Connecting People Developing Lives

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

With the birth of amalgamation and vertical articulation in education we always aim for quality and excellence We have concrete evidence and these will be disclosed in this international undertaking Researches on Academic Performances Teaching Strategies college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test managerial Styles of Administrators Technological Perspective on Human Resource management Driftwood Utilization will be presented equally important to be shared with the audience are on ecological Farming Rice Infestation and the Role of an Auditor Against corruption

In a capsule the following conclusions were culled from some outputs on education- Background music used had an impact on the improvement of the studentsrsquo score in mathematicsThe use of Theatre in education and Drama in education are methods to trigger studentsrsquo interest in learning before lessons and to carry out warm-up activities and to evaluate lesson results The Academic Performance of education Students is significantly related to college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test Appropriate policy suggestions and change management are made for the efficient utilization of human resource management in providing quality administrative services for employees colleges vary in their needs for professional development

on Sciences Driftwood is still a very functional furniture aesthetically preserved by only few and gifted individuals The Antidesma ghaesembilla Gaertn extract has a potential bioactive components since it revealed cytotoxic activity against the brine shrimp ecological Farming and livelihood project significantly impacted the lives of the farmer and fisher folks in the locality

certainly there will be intellectual intercourse between and among participants because all topics are timely and significant For budding researchers it is hoped that the AceT 2014 will inspire them to continue to venture on more researchers and to again participate in any IAmURe ndashsponsored activities like this many shun research Sonorously there is a clarion call for us not to cease the conduct of research And for the IAmURe experienced let us contaminate other individuals with our infectious passion for research let us not punctuate our research outputs only to presentation but also to cause its publication dissemination through IAmURe journals thus we will be very proud as part of the fruition of IAmURe vision

I took the one less travelled by And that has made all the difference

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

Stem borers are the most important species of insects that could infest rice plants from seedling to maturity and thus play a major role in crop losses The study of their mandible that is used in feeding of stem borer would help understand the mechanisms and variations that could affect the adaptation and modification affecting severity of infestation In this study the mandible of two population of stem borers the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) and the striped stem borer (chilo suppressalis) in three rice varieties IR-66 Pioneer 77 and Bigante were used to analyze the adaptation with regard to mandible shape in relation to rice variety in the same geographical location using outline-based (elliptic Fourier) geometric morphometric (Gm) analysis to determine the shape variations in the left and right mandible of two population of stem borers Further scatter plot method was used to illustrate variations in the shapes of the mandibles between population Results of this study showed symmetrical shape variations in the right and left mandible of the two species of stem borers and their accumulation to the kind of rice plant varieties were not selective

Bats are biological species that can be influenced by environmental changes The nature and understanding of the adaptation and survival of bats as biological indicators of the health of the ecosystem is essential for preservation and conservation strategies Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) are fine and random deviations from perfect symmetry of organismrsquos morphology It is considered as a reliable factor for measuring developmental instability because it reflects both genetic and environmental stresses especially in endangered populations Hypothesis assumes that FA has costs and reflects the degree of stress and quality of individuals herewith a direct relationship between FA and developmental instability The study determined the developmental instability via fluctuating asymmetry of Rousettus ampexicaudatus a fruit bat Using landmark method for shape asymmetry anatomical and mathematical landmarks were used and analyzed using Symmetry and Asymmetry in Geometric Data (SAGe) program Results yield highly significant FA for both populations examined (Tamboco cave amp claise cave Bohol) However population from claise cave in Nagtuang of loon has relatively higher FA and percentage of variation based on the Principal component Analysis (PcA) Thus the bat population in claise cave experienced a higher degree of stress

Welcome to Singapore Southeast Asias first world country

I welcome you to the Asian conference on education and Technology with the theme education and Technology connecting People and Developing lives at the marriott Hotel a home away from home for scientists and educators The AceT 2014 is organized by the IAmURe multidisciplinary Research with 37 institutional members and 1300 individual members from over 40 countries AceT is co-hosted

by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

Why education and Technology education achieves its goals through application of technology Talknology is out Technology is in The digital divide that stratifies the education enhanced from the education challenged countries is largely due to a lack of fit between education and technology While the world is wired and interconnected through the internet many students remain deprived of digital access The world of work demands a higher degree of computer literacy and those who do not have it have little chance of getting employed

Why connecting People education bridges the understanding for nationalism and globalism tribalism and internationalism This understanding is translated to reality by the application of technology If people get connected then we have a chance to become one people one world Through technology we get to know world events and how people live across the borders With social media we generate world opinions and synchronize efforts to change the world We can tell our government leaders that this is the path we want to go and force our leaders to take the straight path ahead or we remove them from power and authority that they do not deserve Today the enemy of tyrants is technology No despotic leader can hide his wicked deeds from the eyes of the world with the presence of technology

Why Developing lives The purpose of education is for people to use what they know to make intelligent fundamental choices to benefit their lives and the society The purpose of technology is to make quality of life happen so people can enjoy the fruits of their labor and that of national development

Today I am happy to share to you that IAmURe to which you belong as scientists and researchers just completed Internal Quality Audit and third Surveillance Audit by the AJA Registrars our certifying body These rigid quality assurance mechanisms are designed to make sure our core processes such as journal publication journal evaluation research conferences and design and development of training modules for researchers are in accord to internationally accepted quality practices AceT follows ISo QmS 90012008 procedures

There is so much to experience in Singapore and we are here to learn to collaborate and unite as keepers of the truth

Technology has for at least two decades radically changed the education process Research on innovations in education and technology has become imperative if we have to consider how they are connecting people and developing lives across the globe Radical changes indeed are affecting people across the globe and these are evident in the learning venues

engagement in learning is the most important characteristic of a technology-rich school When one looks across the room every person is leaning forward interacting with the teacher with other students or with the content learning that occurs online is different from learning that happens in traditional classrooms In the past online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom But going forward interactions will be the key Just as people engage in online interactions students must be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom And today the available technology is often a shared resource As we transition to a digital learning environment and each learner has his or her own device we will be able to facilitate personalization participation interaction and collaborationmdashwith people who might be right there in the classroom or people who might be across the world Access is hugely important it is a basic necessity for learners of all ages everywhere There are reasons to say that access is becoming better now than before First digital and mobile devices are proliferating and are available at lower costs second the amount and quality of digital content for learning is exploding and third interactive environments online are becoming easier to use and more useful Students must have a digital device with them in class just as they have had their folder textbook and pencil box In addition to addressing the digital divide we need to address the pedagogical divide We can use technology and the opportunity for learning online to provide more balanced learning opportunities for students This digital learning environment can augment the capacity of the teacher And we can improve the opportunity for teachers to learn from one another

These are a few of the considerations that research on education and technology can tackle As the need for novel ideas proliferate research associations like IAmURe are therefore challenged to move forward in doing research and sharing findings to others for purposes of improving connections among people and improving lives Thus it is most opportune that the International Association for multidisciplinary Research (IAmURe) is holding the Asian conference on education and Technology 2014 in Singapore an ASeAN country known for its excellent education and technology advancement I am sure that the participants will be able to learn and experience utmost satisfaction from meeting their colleagues throughout the world I wish you all wonderful time more power

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

In this international initiative brilliant minds immerse so as to ejaculate insights on the diverse topics on effective Teaching Strategies learning Styles and learning outcomes Technology- Based Instruction emerging Technologies educational management ISo certification of School among others All topics covered are peripheral to the objectives of the conference which will consequently encourage maximum involvement of participants right from the start to the finish of the program

With the birth of amalgamation and vertical articulation in education we always aim for quality and excellence We have concrete evidence and these will be disclosed in this international undertaking Researches on Academic Performances Teaching Strategies college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test managerial Styles of Administrators Technological Perspective on Human Resource management Driftwood Utilization will be presented equally important to be shared with the audience are on ecological Farming Rice Infestation and the Role of an Auditor Against corruption

In a capsule the following conclusions were culled from some outputs on education- Background music used had an impact on the improvement of the studentsrsquo score in mathematicsThe use of Theatre in education and Drama in education are methods to trigger studentsrsquo interest in learning before lessons and to carry out warm-up activities and to evaluate lesson results The Academic Performance of education Students is significantly related to college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test Appropriate policy suggestions and change management are made for the efficient utilization of human resource management in providing quality administrative services for employees colleges vary in their needs for professional development

on Sciences Driftwood is still a very functional furniture aesthetically preserved by only few and gifted individuals The Antidesma ghaesembilla Gaertn extract has a potential bioactive components since it revealed cytotoxic activity against the brine shrimp ecological Farming and livelihood project significantly impacted the lives of the farmer and fisher folks in the locality

certainly there will be intellectual intercourse between and among participants because all topics are timely and significant For budding researchers it is hoped that the AceT 2014 will inspire them to continue to venture on more researchers and to again participate in any IAmURe ndashsponsored activities like this many shun research Sonorously there is a clarion call for us not to cease the conduct of research And for the IAmURe experienced let us contaminate other individuals with our infectious passion for research let us not punctuate our research outputs only to presentation but also to cause its publication dissemination through IAmURe journals thus we will be very proud as part of the fruition of IAmURe vision

I took the one less travelled by And that has made all the difference

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

Stem borers are the most important species of insects that could infest rice plants from seedling to maturity and thus play a major role in crop losses The study of their mandible that is used in feeding of stem borer would help understand the mechanisms and variations that could affect the adaptation and modification affecting severity of infestation In this study the mandible of two population of stem borers the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) and the striped stem borer (chilo suppressalis) in three rice varieties IR-66 Pioneer 77 and Bigante were used to analyze the adaptation with regard to mandible shape in relation to rice variety in the same geographical location using outline-based (elliptic Fourier) geometric morphometric (Gm) analysis to determine the shape variations in the left and right mandible of two population of stem borers Further scatter plot method was used to illustrate variations in the shapes of the mandibles between population Results of this study showed symmetrical shape variations in the right and left mandible of the two species of stem borers and their accumulation to the kind of rice plant varieties were not selective

Bats are biological species that can be influenced by environmental changes The nature and understanding of the adaptation and survival of bats as biological indicators of the health of the ecosystem is essential for preservation and conservation strategies Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) are fine and random deviations from perfect symmetry of organismrsquos morphology It is considered as a reliable factor for measuring developmental instability because it reflects both genetic and environmental stresses especially in endangered populations Hypothesis assumes that FA has costs and reflects the degree of stress and quality of individuals herewith a direct relationship between FA and developmental instability The study determined the developmental instability via fluctuating asymmetry of Rousettus ampexicaudatus a fruit bat Using landmark method for shape asymmetry anatomical and mathematical landmarks were used and analyzed using Symmetry and Asymmetry in Geometric Data (SAGe) program Results yield highly significant FA for both populations examined (Tamboco cave amp claise cave Bohol) However population from claise cave in Nagtuang of loon has relatively higher FA and percentage of variation based on the Principal component Analysis (PcA) Thus the bat population in claise cave experienced a higher degree of stress

M E s s A g E

Technology has for at least two decades radically changed the education process Research on innovations in education and technology has become imperative if we have to consider how they are connecting people and developing lives across the globe Radical changes indeed are affecting people across the globe and these are evident in the learning venues

engagement in learning is the most important characteristic of a technology-rich school When one looks across the room every person is leaning forward interacting with the teacher with other students or with the content learning that occurs online is different from learning that happens in traditional classrooms In the past online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom But going forward interactions will be the key Just as people engage in online interactions students must be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom And today the available technology is often a shared resource As we transition to a digital learning environment and each learner has his or her own device we will be able to facilitate personalization participation interaction and collaborationmdashwith people who might be right there in the classroom or people who might be across the world Access is hugely important it is a basic necessity for learners of all ages everywhere There are reasons to say that access is becoming better now than before First digital and mobile devices are proliferating and are available at lower costs second the amount and quality of digital content for learning is exploding and third interactive environments online are becoming easier to use and more useful Students must have a digital device with them in class just as they have had their folder textbook and pencil box In addition to addressing the digital divide we need to address the pedagogical divide We can use technology and the opportunity for learning online to provide more balanced learning opportunities for students This digital learning environment can augment the capacity of the teacher And we can improve the opportunity for teachers to learn from one another

These are a few of the considerations that research on education and technology can tackle As the need for novel ideas proliferate research associations like IAmURe are therefore challenged to move forward in doing research and sharing findings to others for purposes of improving connections among people and improving lives Thus it is most opportune that the International Association for multidisciplinary Research (IAmURe) is holding the Asian conference on education and Technology 2014 in Singapore an ASeAN country known for its excellent education and technology advancement I am sure that the participants will be able to learn and experience utmost satisfaction from meeting their colleagues throughout the world I wish you all wonderful time more power

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

The quality of instruction depends on a large extent of the capability the strength and the excellence of the faculty In order for the faculty to play their roles and fulfill their responsibilities colleges must first show that they understand what the faculty needs and values most This therefore calls for an assessment and a strong support that must be provided by administrators for it is what helps teachers to achieve many things that they need to do especially in their teaching job The purpose of this descriptive design study was to determine the professional development needs and priorities pertaining to teaching and learning of the college faculty (n=71) of la Salle University in order to guide the crafting of enrichment activities Sixty-three percent (n = 71) of the 113 teachers completed a survey instrument adapted from Guangco (2009) and ejercito (2010) calculated means and frequency-percentage distribution inform the prioritization of in-service needs while weighted means determine the performance of the college faculty as appraised by the students The results of this study showed that one-third of the faculty-respondents are new to the teaching profession while 69 have more than three years of teaching experience The study concludes that the colleges vary in their needs for professional development However there are areas common to almost all colleges

Stem borers are the most important species of insects that could infest rice plants from seedling to maturity and thus play a major role in crop losses The study of their mandible that is used in feeding of stem borer would help understand the mechanisms and variations that could affect the adaptation and modification affecting severity of infestation In this study the mandible of two population of stem borers the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) and the striped stem borer (chilo suppressalis) in three rice varieties IR-66 Pioneer 77 and Bigante were used to analyze the adaptation with regard to mandible shape in relation to rice variety in the same geographical location using outline-based (elliptic Fourier) geometric morphometric (Gm) analysis to determine the shape variations in the left and right mandible of two population of stem borers Further scatter plot method was used to illustrate variations in the shapes of the mandibles between population Results of this study showed symmetrical shape variations in the right and left mandible of the two species of stem borers and their accumulation to the kind of rice plant varieties were not selective

Technology has for at least two decades radically changed the education process Research on innovations in education and technology has become imperative if we have to consider how they are connecting people and developing lives across the globe Radical changes indeed are affecting people across the globe and these are evident in the learning venues

engagement in learning is the most important characteristic of a technology-rich school When one looks across the room every person is leaning forward interacting with the teacher with other students or with the content learning that occurs online is different from learning that happens in traditional classrooms In the past online learning has tended to be isolating and less participatory and has been distinct from using technology in the classroom But going forward interactions will be the key Just as people engage in online interactions students must be able to engage in participatory learning experiences online in and out of the classroom And today the available technology is often a shared resource As we transition to a digital learning environment and each learner has his or her own device we will be able to facilitate personalization participation interaction and collaborationmdashwith people who might be right there in the classroom or people who might be across the world Access is hugely important it is a basic necessity for learners of all ages everywhere There are reasons to say that access is becoming better now than before First digital and mobile devices are proliferating and are available at lower costs second the amount and quality of digital content for learning is exploding and third interactive environments online are becoming easier to use and more useful Students must have a digital device with them in class just as they have had their folder textbook and pencil box In addition to addressing the digital divide we need to address the pedagogical divide We can use technology and the opportunity for learning online to provide more balanced learning opportunities for students This digital learning environment can augment the capacity of the teacher And we can improve the opportunity for teachers to learn from one another

These are a few of the considerations that research on education and technology can tackle As the need for novel ideas proliferate research associations like IAmURe are therefore challenged to move forward in doing research and sharing findings to others for purposes of improving connections among people and improving lives Thus it is most opportune that the International Association for multidisciplinary Research (IAmURe) is holding the Asian conference on education and Technology 2014 in Singapore an ASeAN country known for its excellent education and technology advancement I am sure that the participants will be able to learn and experience utmost satisfaction from meeting their colleagues throughout the world I wish you all wonderful time more power

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

The quality of instruction depends on a large extent of the capability the strength and the excellence of the faculty In order for the faculty to play their roles and fulfill their responsibilities colleges must first show that they understand what the faculty needs and values most This therefore calls for an assessment and a strong support that must be provided by administrators for it is what helps teachers to achieve many things that they need to do especially in their teaching job The purpose of this descriptive design study was to determine the professional development needs and priorities pertaining to teaching and learning of the college faculty (n=71) of la Salle University in order to guide the crafting of enrichment activities Sixty-three percent (n = 71) of the 113 teachers completed a survey instrument adapted from Guangco (2009) and ejercito (2010) calculated means and frequency-percentage distribution inform the prioritization of in-service needs while weighted means determine the performance of the college faculty as appraised by the students The results of this study showed that one-third of the faculty-respondents are new to the teaching profession while 69 have more than three years of teaching experience The study concludes that the colleges vary in their needs for professional development However there are areas common to almost all colleges

Stem borers are the most important species of insects that could infest rice plants from seedling to maturity and thus play a major role in crop losses The study of their mandible that is used in feeding of stem borer would help understand the mechanisms and variations that could affect the adaptation and modification affecting severity of infestation In this study the mandible of two population of stem borers the yellow stem borer (Scirpophaga incertulas) and the striped stem borer (chilo suppressalis) in three rice varieties IR-66 Pioneer 77 and Bigante were used to analyze the adaptation with regard to mandible shape in relation to rice variety in the same geographical location using outline-based (elliptic Fourier) geometric morphometric (Gm) analysis to determine the shape variations in the left and right mandible of two population of stem borers Further scatter plot method was used to illustrate variations in the shapes of the mandibles between population Results of this study showed symmetrical shape variations in the right and left mandible of the two species of stem borers and their accumulation to the kind of rice plant varieties were not selective

Bats are biological species that can be influenced by environmental changes The nature and understanding of the adaptation and survival of bats as biological indicators of the health of the ecosystem is essential for preservation and conservation strategies Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) are fine and random deviations from perfect symmetry of organismrsquos morphology It is considered as a reliable factor for measuring developmental instability because it reflects both genetic and environmental stresses especially in endangered populations Hypothesis assumes that FA has costs and reflects the degree of stress and quality of individuals herewith a direct relationship between FA and developmental instability The study determined the developmental instability via fluctuating asymmetry of Rousettus ampexicaudatus a fruit bat Using landmark method for shape asymmetry anatomical and mathematical landmarks were used and analyzed using Symmetry and Asymmetry in Geometric Data (SAGe) program Results yield highly significant FA for both populations examined (Tamboco cave amp claise cave Bohol) However population from claise cave in Nagtuang of loon has relatively higher FA and percentage of variation based on the Principal component Analysis (PcA) Thus the bat population in claise cave experienced a higher degree of stress

In 2012 the Association of certified Fraud examiners stated that 43 of frauds are detected by tip money The role of tips for the people is a crucial factor in disclosing frauds most often company frauds are revealed by a whistle blower Willingness to be a whistle blower can be determined by both internal and external factors This study attempts to observe the dimensions of the existence and role of the organization of internal auditors and the witness protection agency as external factors influencing an internal auditor to become a whistle-blower It also explores the effects of the internal auditor competencies the moral attitude of the internal auditor and the ethical behavior of companyrsquos internal auditors as internal factors influencing an internal auditor on being a whistle-blower The independent auditors are considered as the population as they are often connected with the internal auditors They need the information from the internal auditor about fraud or abuse in the company Questionnaires were mailed to them and analyzed using Partial least Squares It showed that only the ethical behavior of companyrsquos internal auditors influenced them to be whistle blowers coupled by a witness protection program In order to develop sound corporate governance in Indonesia a whistle blower system is needed with emphasis on a strong witness protection At present Indonesia does not have the whistle blower act

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

Bats are biological species that can be influenced by environmental changes The nature and understanding of the adaptation and survival of bats as biological indicators of the health of the ecosystem is essential for preservation and conservation strategies Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) are fine and random deviations from perfect symmetry of organismrsquos morphology It is considered as a reliable factor for measuring developmental instability because it reflects both genetic and environmental stresses especially in endangered populations Hypothesis assumes that FA has costs and reflects the degree of stress and quality of individuals herewith a direct relationship between FA and developmental instability The study determined the developmental instability via fluctuating asymmetry of Rousettus ampexicaudatus a fruit bat Using landmark method for shape asymmetry anatomical and mathematical landmarks were used and analyzed using Symmetry and Asymmetry in Geometric Data (SAGe) program Results yield highly significant FA for both populations examined (Tamboco cave amp claise cave Bohol) However population from claise cave in Nagtuang of loon has relatively higher FA and percentage of variation based on the Principal component Analysis (PcA) Thus the bat population in claise cave experienced a higher degree of stress

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

In this international initiative brilliant minds immerse so as to ejaculate insights on the diverse topics on effective Teaching Strategies learning Styles and learning outcomes Technology- Based Instruction emerging Technologies educational management ISo certification of School among others All topics covered are peripheral to the objectives of the conference which will consequently encourage maximum involvement of participants right from the start to the finish of the program

With the birth of amalgamation and vertical articulation in education we always aim for quality and excellence We have concrete evidence and these will be disclosed in this international undertaking Researches on Academic Performances Teaching Strategies college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test managerial Styles of Administrators Technological Perspective on Human Resource management Driftwood Utilization will be presented equally important to be shared with the audience are on ecological Farming Rice Infestation and the Role of an Auditor Against corruption

In a capsule the following conclusions were culled from some outputs on education- Background music used had an impact on the improvement of the studentsrsquo score in mathematicsThe use of Theatre in education and Drama in education are methods to trigger studentsrsquo interest in learning before lessons and to carry out warm-up activities and to evaluate lesson results The Academic Performance of education Students is significantly related to college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test Appropriate policy suggestions and change management are made for the efficient utilization of human resource management in providing quality administrative services for employees colleges vary in their needs for professional development

on Sciences Driftwood is still a very functional furniture aesthetically preserved by only few and gifted individuals The Antidesma ghaesembilla Gaertn extract has a potential bioactive components since it revealed cytotoxic activity against the brine shrimp ecological Farming and livelihood project significantly impacted the lives of the farmer and fisher folks in the locality

certainly there will be intellectual intercourse between and among participants because all topics are timely and significant For budding researchers it is hoped that the AceT 2014 will inspire them to continue to venture on more researchers and to again participate in any IAmURe ndashsponsored activities like this many shun research Sonorously there is a clarion call for us not to cease the conduct of research And for the IAmURe experienced let us contaminate other individuals with our infectious passion for research let us not punctuate our research outputs only to presentation but also to cause its publication dissemination through IAmURe journals thus we will be very proud as part of the fruition of IAmURe vision

I took the one less travelled by And that has made all the difference

In the current educational setup the great challenge that teachers face is managing convergent learners since most assessment approaches focus on convergent skills The study was conducted to evaluate the instructional design of the technology module (WileyPlUS) as a learning management tool experimental design was used with the Solomon four-group design to establish the effectivity of the learning management system tool in an outcomes-based education heuristic model over the lecture-discussion method one-way analysis of covariance was utilized to compare the gains in post-test scores with the pre-test as its covariates Based on the qualitative evaluation using a likert scale questionnaire the technology module was found to be an effective aid to instruction The clarity of explanation of the student solution manual was considered as the best feature enhanced by its adaptability to studentsrsquo individual needs The quantitative evaluation showed that there is a significant difference on the post-test means scores of the students when grouped according to teaching approach in favor of the experimental groups This translates that independent of testing the students who were exposed to the technology learning module WileyPlUS system achieved significantly better The research intends to be a benchmark study for experiential learning as the institution goes forward in a more technology-integrated educational approach

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

Bats are biological species that can be influenced by environmental changes The nature and understanding of the adaptation and survival of bats as biological indicators of the health of the ecosystem is essential for preservation and conservation strategies Fluctuating asymmetry (FA) are fine and random deviations from perfect symmetry of organismrsquos morphology It is considered as a reliable factor for measuring developmental instability because it reflects both genetic and environmental stresses especially in endangered populations Hypothesis assumes that FA has costs and reflects the degree of stress and quality of individuals herewith a direct relationship between FA and developmental instability The study determined the developmental instability via fluctuating asymmetry of Rousettus ampexicaudatus a fruit bat Using landmark method for shape asymmetry anatomical and mathematical landmarks were used and analyzed using Symmetry and Asymmetry in Geometric Data (SAGe) program Results yield highly significant FA for both populations examined (Tamboco cave amp claise cave Bohol) However population from claise cave in Nagtuang of loon has relatively higher FA and percentage of variation based on the Principal component Analysis (PcA) Thus the bat population in claise cave experienced a higher degree of stress

The Application of Mobile Technology in the Teaching of Chinese Literature in the Second Language Context A case in Singapore

In the multicultural and multilingual society of Singapore Chinese is usually taught as a second language to many students who come from predominantly English-speaking background Chinese literature is then deemed as one of the most difficult subjects in the local Chinese

curriculum Not only do the students face difficulties in learning the many unfamiliar literary forms students have problems accessing the nuanced literary language used in canonical literary works In view of this this paper attempts to examine the introduction and application of Mobile Technology such as Mobile platforms for Mobile learning to support learning in Singapore Chinese literature lessons The mobile devices that are readily available currently could in fact function as a personal learning hub (Looi et al 2009) and generate great potential for an evolution of technology-enhanced language and literature learning

My two pilot and action researches involving Mobile Technology and Chinese literature to be discussed here include the following Firstly in the research on learning of Chinese idioms and idiom-related literature local students proactively used smartphones on a 11 basis to view literary and multimedia content then to capture photos of the real-life contexts pertaining to the idioms and to construct sentences with them before sharing and mutually commenting online in a ICT-aided collaborative learning model Secondly another mobile device in the form of iPad is used to not only view literary text and multimedia content but also to facilitate the creation of literary stories in the forms of literary e-book in Chinese composition writing lessons Besides the benefits and significance of integrating iPad in education as proposed by Melhuish amp Falloon (2010) the integration of iPad in Chinese literary writing shows that the teaching of creative writing as well as studentsrsquo creative thinking skills further improved after the intervention

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

As a text-intensive subject area Chinese literature and literary writing are often taught by local teachers in a teacher-centred text-oriented manner which is more one-directional and one-size-fits-all than interactive and individualized The above two researches involving the Mobile Assisted Language Learning (MALL) paradigm are fundamentally grounded in ldquoseamless learningrdquo that encompasses in-class formal learning and out-of-class informal settings which allows for learning anytime anywhere and individualized in terms of method and pace The results of these research projects are analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively with pre-post-tests and verified by triangulation of questionnaires interviews and observations The analyses of the two researches show that students create literarily impressive and significant artifacts that are testaments of meaning-making collaborative learning cognitive development and literary creativity in both product- and process-oriented aspects The studentsrsquo independent individualized and open-ended processes have exemplified great potential of transforming passive literary learning in a second language classroom into an active and authentic learning experience in the studentsrsquo daily lives beyond formal learning settings In these researches the mobile platforms and devices are critical elements in supporting in situ improvisation and creative output such as taking appropriate pictures and video in contexts to illustrate the creative writings and literary e-books The mobile affordance of in situ data collection and editing (Smartphone camera video recording and editing) enables and empowers students in their literary input and output and allows the teacher and fellow classmates to collaborate edit and review their works real-time Ultimately the blended usage of the mobile platform and multimedia resources managed to raise literature learning to a new height which encompasses both holistic and collaborative learning experiences that seamlessly integrate studentsrsquo learning experience in both the physical and cyberspace contexts

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

In the current educational setup the great challenge that teachers face is managing convergent learners since most assessment approaches focus on convergent skills The study was conducted to evaluate the instructional design of the technology module (WileyPlUS) as a learning management tool experimental design was used with the Solomon four-group design to establish the effectivity of the learning management system tool in an outcomes-based education heuristic model over the lecture-discussion method one-way analysis of covariance was utilized to compare the gains in post-test scores with the pre-test as its covariates Based on the qualitative evaluation using a likert scale questionnaire the technology module was found to be an effective aid to instruction The clarity of explanation of the student solution manual was considered as the best feature enhanced by its adaptability to studentsrsquo individual needs The quantitative evaluation showed that there is a significant difference on the post-test means scores of the students when grouped according to teaching approach in favor of the experimental groups This translates that independent of testing the students who were exposed to the technology learning module WileyPlUS system achieved significantly better The research intends to be a benchmark study for experiential learning as the institution goes forward in a more technology-integrated educational approach

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

I started my career in computer Science - everything from helping to implement the first prototype of the Network Address Translator (NAT) during an internship at Bellcore to working on divisible electronic coins while at an NTT internship in Japan to chaining zero knowledge proofs under the supervision of Professor Shafi Goldwasser at mIT to DNA algorithms and finally to an algorithm for de novo peptide sequencing from tandem mass spectra

In parallel to this for a period of nearly 10 years I was on the teaching staff for the freshman computer science course at mIT (called ldquo6001rdquo) At the time students often didnrsquot come to recitations and I wrestled with how I could make recitations useful so that students would want to come I thought a lot about how I might be able to teach the material so that students would understand and learn the material In the end I received some of the highest instructor ratings in the course evaluations and one student wrote (in a survey back in 2001) ldquoI was assigned to another [recitation] but I attended Tony engrsquos recitation because I learned so much more from his He was very organized and had a schedule to follow by every recitation He made very good use of visual aides and it wasnrsquot just a questionanswer session I owe my understanding [of 6001] to Tonyrsquos recitationrdquo

And in 2004 things took a surprising turn I was asked to lead a new initiative something that was not really computer Science but was still related to computer Science I was asked to develop a course to teach undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science the largest department at mIT how to communicate At the time some (Faculty) felt that I should help students write their theses but I found that too short-sighted And after doing some due diligence I believed that focusing on oral communication would have the most impact I took what I learned from my own experiences teaching 6001 and tried to teach students how to explain their ideas to others I proposed a course in oral communication (called ldquo6UATrdquo) and from early on it was made into a requirement for all eecS undergraduates The course is pretty unique at mIT and one other mIT department has recently expressed interest in possibly replicating the course in their department

over the years Irsquove designed and taught a number of other oral communication courses at mIT I had a vision for a larger oral communication landscape at mIT consisting of a series of course offerings that I had designed And each term I would voluntarily teach one of these courses to try out the material that I had created to see what worked and what didnrsquot work

I had never in my life envisioned Irsquod become an educator much less an educator in the area of technical oral communication my degrees were all in computer Science and I quickly realized that if I was going to teach others how to give presentations then I need to be a good example I needed to learn how to give good presentations myself Dissatisfied with the presentation courses I took I decided to branch out into other disciplines particularly the performing arts and sought opportunities to train myself For example I took a mime course in Paris improv courses in San Francisco voice lessons and even a musical theatre program in New York city (A complete list is included below) I looked for creative ways to learn and hone different aspects of public speaking and tried to find ways to incorporate these experiences in my courses

I was born to be different To do things in a creative and non-standard way To straddle the technical and the non-technical To be someone who can not only navigate both worlds (engineering and communication) but who also teaches others to do the same Thatrsquos the legacy Irsquod like to leave and the qualities for which Irsquod like to be remembered

Sometimes life takes strange turns and you just have to go with the flow

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

I have been conducting faunal researches for over a decade I did a lot of education campaign on biodiversity conservation in several public schools and universities in Bohol I joined several wildlife conservation workshops since I am one of the leading research biologists in BISU I did a lot of biodiversity inventories on Bohol Island Philippines From these surveys I developed my own education workshops in which I trained nearly 10 teachers (from different schools)

who subsequently trained other teachers and students from BISU Furthermore I actively attended several workshops and training sessions Attending training sessions has further improved my research skills allowing myself to further upgrade the capabilities of the university where I am employed (BISU) and in general improving the overall research capabilities of institutions on the island I also presented several research papers at regional national and international conferences as well as published articles in peer-reviewed journals I was funded by the commission on Higher education in the Philippines to carry out an inventory study on bats and caves on Bohol Apparently I was invited by the Department of environment and Natural Resources to be a member of the Regional cave committee wherein quarterly we review relevant findings on caves and cave wildlife in the Visayas region more recently I have been assisted international collaborators (lawrence University of Wisconssin and Texas Tech University of Texas) studying cave-dependent bat populations on Bohol Island Among my other faculty duties I assisted undergraduate students from BISU and other schools and universities in learning and practicing research methods for assessing biodiversity particularly on bats frogs and birds that clearly makes my field data collection available to the public I advised a number of students who are conducting their theses on biodiversity climate change and water quality in selected areas of Bohol Island and we just recently had two projects on biodiversity in one of the largest watersheds in the province of Bohol and tarsier studying its biological and ecological characteristics

my research outputs made known in the province as a bat expert biologist Because of my outputs I was recognized as an assessor of bats and reptiles in the International Union for conservation of Nature (IUcN) my being an adviser to undergraduate thesis have helped them graduate and most of them are now employees of Department of environmental and Natural Resources (DeNR) and they are the ones handling biodiversity conservation Just recently I was acknowledged and featured in lsquoBorn to be Wildrsquo a public show in GmA ndash a bat episode and it shown for a month my expertise also attracted collaborators in doing research in Bohol I have the passion to make contribution to the optimum conservation of natural resources in general for the sustenance of human civilization

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

In a capsule the following conclusions were culled from some outputs on education- Background music used had an impact on the improvement of the studentsrsquo score in mathematicsThe use of Theatre in education and Drama in education are methods to trigger studentsrsquo interest in learning before lessons and to carry out warm-up activities and to evaluate lesson results The Academic Performance of education Students is significantly related to college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test Appropriate policy suggestions and change management are made for the efficient utilization of human resource management in providing quality administrative services for employees colleges vary in their needs for professional development

on Sciences Driftwood is still a very functional furniture aesthetically preserved by only few and gifted individuals The Antidesma ghaesembilla Gaertn extract has a potential bioactive components since it revealed cytotoxic activity against the brine shrimp ecological Farming and livelihood project significantly impacted the lives of the farmer and fisher folks in the locality

certainly there will be intellectual intercourse between and among participants because all topics are timely and significant For budding researchers it is hoped that the AceT 2014 will inspire them to continue to venture on more researchers and to again participate in any IAmURe ndashsponsored activities like this many shun research Sonorously there is a clarion call for us not to cease the conduct of research And for the IAmURe experienced let us contaminate other individuals with our infectious passion for research let us not punctuate our research outputs only to presentation but also to cause its publication dissemination through IAmURe journals thus we will be very proud as part of the fruition of IAmURe vision

I took the one less travelled by And that has made all the difference

In the current educational setup the great challenge that teachers face is managing convergent learners since most assessment approaches focus on convergent skills The study was conducted to evaluate the instructional design of the technology module (WileyPlUS) as a learning management tool experimental design was used with the Solomon four-group design to establish the effectivity of the learning management system tool in an outcomes-based education heuristic model over the lecture-discussion method one-way analysis of covariance was utilized to compare the gains in post-test scores with the pre-test as its covariates Based on the qualitative evaluation using a likert scale questionnaire the technology module was found to be an effective aid to instruction The clarity of explanation of the student solution manual was considered as the best feature enhanced by its adaptability to studentsrsquo individual needs The quantitative evaluation showed that there is a significant difference on the post-test means scores of the students when grouped according to teaching approach in favor of the experimental groups This translates that independent of testing the students who were exposed to the technology learning module WileyPlUS system achieved significantly better The research intends to be a benchmark study for experiential learning as the institution goes forward in a more technology-integrated educational approach

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

To immerse myself completely in the endless pursuit of knowledge this is my ultimate undertaking

While fast-paced technology had assimilated itself fully in human standard of living the world faces a huge demand for research and scientific exploration This scientific uprising had fashioned a brand new biosphere with respect to how we perceive how we work how we interact and everything thatrsquos in between And as third world countries such as my home country the Philippines strive to cope with this kind of trend elevating the quality of technical

education is truly and irrefutably vital As a researcher and citizen alike I see the gaps which can be improved in the system of technical education The newly established

K-12 system had brandished itself as one of the more efficient and apt educational approaches in reinforcing students to excel in their chosen careers However as the educational system starts afresh there lies a substantial amount of approaches and modifications necessary to bolster the learning foundation

outcomes-based education is an alternative approach which was established in the country The shift in the outcomes-Based education learning paradigm from teacher-directed to learner-centered has inspired me to explore the cybernetic Vision on Differentiating the teaching of application concepts in Differential equations In summary the eclectic approach accomplished multitasks with a specific lesson The multitask encouraged student-centered learning and developed specific learning skills and specific values and ethics that will contribute to the holistic development of the students and make them lifelong learners even as they invade the real world

In that same light I delved into exploring different influences in learning such as the 4mAT Teaching cycle The 4mAT cycle of learning is a learning approach which included Direct experience Reflective observation Abstract conceptualization and Active experience At the end the results gathered from survey questionnaires rating scale observations and interviews showed that with the 4mAT cycle of learning the students developed certain habits of mind and attitude These habits included openness and respect for the opinion of others creativity and perseverance in finding solutions to problem patience in finding additional information to solve the problem and commitment to learning and responsibility for onersquos learning

Aside from engaging myself in researches like these I have held myself responsible for helping my colleagues in the field as professional evaluator As a Philippine Association of colleges and Universities commission on Accreditation (PAcUcoA) Accreditor I have involved myself in the utmost goal of promoting studies in academes throughout the country and ensure that member schools are functioning as per mission and vision to cascade its effectiveness efficiency quality in research area and on its educational process

As a teacher I am thoroughly immersed in the subject matter - with a depth of vision and a breadth of insight At the same time my pedagogical style is characterized by creativity dynamism wit an infectious sense of humor and brotherly friendship A ldquohealthy pressurerdquo pervades the classroom - where students are challenged to optimum without losing their spontaneity and individual styles of learning No doubt my efforts were recognized not only once but twice the prestigious lsquoBest Teaching Practice competitionrsquo amongst faculty members of the Institute I am also a recipient of lsquomapua cardinals Academic excellence Awardrsquo on both Teaching and Research and just recently during the 88th Foundation celebration the lsquoNatatanging Guro sa mapua Institute of Technologyrsquo was awarded by the supreme student council first of its kind

my passion optimism firm conviction and commitment to research for betterment of education will be my best legacy as a teacher I have written more than 35 full blown researches on pure and applied mathematics on education and curriculum development and evaluation These were all evident in my countless paper presentations and academic excellence awards for my research work both national and international level last year my paper on lsquotwin principles of constructivismrsquo was awarded as lsquooutstanding Research Paper in the World congress on engineering and computer Sciencersquo at the University of california in San Francisco USA where more than 200 educatorsparticipants competed around the world

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

Being so technically competent on outcomes based education made me a sought after consultant of cHeD on matters of curriculum revisions and strategic planningrsquos and with DecS on their K to 12 transition and course developments my expertise on developing course materials to improve teaching and learning are my priceless contribution to the out of school youths that would like to learn but cannot afford the high tuition fees of higher institutions

Having all these works at hand it is in my firm belief that the most significant contribution I could have ever injected in the field of research is the overall view and probe on unorthodox educational strategies While most people are quite doubtful on the applications of these alternative schemes there lies significance in learning and experimenting with them learning what plan works and what doesnrsquot prove essential considering the different cases of technical education in the world more importantly it is my vision to have other researchers engaged in finding ways to go through relationships against interdependent factors This with my intense curiosity on things had propelled me to podium awards including the outstanding Asian Research leader for 2014 by the Philippine Association of Institutions for Research

We all have a purpose to live by I believe that I was born to try and make a difference in the society and community Seeing children on the streets with no home no food no idea of the advancements of our civilization and no awareness of the potential they poses I started off as an instructor in the town that I grew up in I moved up as an academic consultant I became an assistant professional lecturer that same year became a professor became a dean and eventually the research director of the mathematics center for Research and Development of mapua Institute of Technology ndash manila Philippines

I was born to teach to provide information the best way it can be delivered I like to believe that I have changed the way my students think I would like to believe that they see the world differently because of what I have taught them and I believe that they will be successful with the knowledge that I have provided them alongside their other mentors

Being a researcher is just something I do because basically I love information That is the beauty of life you are able to fill your mind with all the material facts figures and you would like to share all of this to the world I would like to be remembered for my work as an educator and for the researches and articles that I have published I like sharing information to others and it satisfies me when individuals share the same love and passion as I do I am also pleased when I see people interested in my lectures they are interested in learning something new and it is a real privilege that I am the one who is able to be the lecturer and to share just what I have to say

For all the papers I have published all the presentations I have given and me being a professor and a researcher it really is difficult to select the most important contribution that I have made to the world scientific community because in my mind everything that I do is important to the scientific community even as a professor it is important that I am feeding my students with the information that they may use in the future my contributions to learningrsquos are all important to the scientific community and it is my job to present it to my students to help them learn all they can so they too can achieve as much as I have

my career objective has always been to engage in a profession that provides opportunities for both professional and personal growth within an environment conducive and dedicated to positive ideals I am dedicated to the holistic development of individuals constantly in pursuit of truth and acts with fortitude to serve God this country and the world

Truly the journey to realizing these feats has been both excruciating and exciting all at the same time The intricacy of these studies made it arduous but to finally go around and resolve the complexities made it painfully beautiful and exhilarating And with that I thank the people who supported me in this laborious task at hand

Above all of these accomplishments I recognize that still there is oNe up there who is the author of everything I thank God for his guidance He gave me during the hard times those times when I had to juggle work study and social relationships between my family and colleagues It was quite an experience one which I will never forget And most of all I am grateful for the way He paved the way for me to have this opportunity

I thank my dearest family who never doubted that I can achieve who believed in my talents and supported me all the way Furthermore I want to express my deepest gratitude to my teachers and mentors The way they kept challenging me and pushing me to go beyond my limits served me well as I have accomplished what I wanted to do I thank them as well for guiding me and supporting me throughout this rather stimulating undertaking

To be skeptic about things and its relation with other things have always been one of my biggest self-description I have always wondered on the confluence of things no matter how big or small However there certain moments when I look at myself and think that I may have done enough studied enough learned enough But at the end I have always gone back to my ultimate goal and inculcate to myself that ldquoTrue knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothingrdquo

I am Dr Dante l Silva who revolutionized the learning institution - as a leader professor and researcher who prepares the next generation of citizens to a more technological and global world He has ideas so penetrating that they could capture both the human heart and intellect - for all times

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

In this international initiative brilliant minds immerse so as to ejaculate insights on the diverse topics on effective Teaching Strategies learning Styles and learning outcomes Technology- Based Instruction emerging Technologies educational management ISo certification of School among others All topics covered are peripheral to the objectives of the conference which will consequently encourage maximum involvement of participants right from the start to the finish of the program

With the birth of amalgamation and vertical articulation in education we always aim for quality and excellence We have concrete evidence and these will be disclosed in this international undertaking Researches on Academic Performances Teaching Strategies college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test managerial Styles of Administrators Technological Perspective on Human Resource management Driftwood Utilization will be presented equally important to be shared with the audience are on ecological Farming Rice Infestation and the Role of an Auditor Against corruption

In a capsule the following conclusions were culled from some outputs on education- Background music used had an impact on the improvement of the studentsrsquo score in mathematicsThe use of Theatre in education and Drama in education are methods to trigger studentsrsquo interest in learning before lessons and to carry out warm-up activities and to evaluate lesson results The Academic Performance of education Students is significantly related to college Admission Test and Teaching Aptitude Test Appropriate policy suggestions and change management are made for the efficient utilization of human resource management in providing quality administrative services for employees colleges vary in their needs for professional development

on Sciences Driftwood is still a very functional furniture aesthetically preserved by only few and gifted individuals The Antidesma ghaesembilla Gaertn extract has a potential bioactive components since it revealed cytotoxic activity against the brine shrimp ecological Farming and livelihood project significantly impacted the lives of the farmer and fisher folks in the locality

certainly there will be intellectual intercourse between and among participants because all topics are timely and significant For budding researchers it is hoped that the AceT 2014 will inspire them to continue to venture on more researchers and to again participate in any IAmURe ndashsponsored activities like this many shun research Sonorously there is a clarion call for us not to cease the conduct of research And for the IAmURe experienced let us contaminate other individuals with our infectious passion for research let us not punctuate our research outputs only to presentation but also to cause its publication dissemination through IAmURe journals thus we will be very proud as part of the fruition of IAmURe vision

I took the one less travelled by And that has made all the difference

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

To look is one thing To see what you look at is another To understand what you see is a third To learn from what you understand is

still something else But to act on what you learn is all that really matters ndashBits and Pieces once again as a manifestation of an unending commitment of IAmURe to provide among other things a world platform for researchers the Asian conference on education and Technology AceT 2014 will be held in Singapore Participants to this international gathering are from the different parts of the globe whose scholarly research outputs were rigorously and thoroughly perused by the organizer

IAmURe recognizes the meritorious contributions of world researchers and institutions which is an effective way of encouraging more individuals and more institutions of learning to actively promote and produce researches Research being one of the functions of Higher education Institutions has become inevitable and its role cannot just simply be disregarded for it provides empirical bases in the formulation of long-term solutions to seemingly insurmountable problems plaguing us especially this Y generation What we saw what we see and what we will see are by-products of research that is why both the government and the private sectors are magnanimously supporting research undertakings by providing incentives to those who have ventured scholarly work along research discipline In business sector researchers with high caliber are highly remunerated because they devote their time conducting investigations to improve quality of their products and their services which is translated to more profits Some have come to realize the indispensability of a research office in order to cope with the presence of competing firms For some researchers they may not expect any monetary remuneration but they just do it to satisfy their intellectual curiosity They would like to develop in them the passion for inquisitiveness critical attitude that will hinder them from complacently accepting conclusions based upon dubious and spurious evidence

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

engineers need to be able to communicate their ideas not only to each other but to audiences with different backgrounds Since 2005 mIT undergraduates majoring in electrical engineering and computer Science (eecS) have had to take a required stand-alone course in oral communication This course called ldquo6UATrdquo focuses on oral presentation skills students give three revised presentations on technical material to different target audiences but the talks themselves are non-technical (or at least ldquoless-technicalrdquo than they are used to) 6UAT is housed in the eecS Department and is taught by eecS faculty research staff and students (both undergraduate and graduate) but any student in any major can take it and with some minor tweaking a similar offering could be replicated in any engineering department In this paper 6UAT is described focusing on the lessons learned and challenging issues faced in administering and teaching the course Issues include the nature of the material enrollment size (about 150-200 per semester) and the constraints of space budget and staffing Although the course evolved over the years many of its aspects need re-addressing especially as times and conditions within mIT and without change

Amidst the increasing demands of technology in education digital divide appears to be a formidable obstacle This research is a pilot study aimed to describe the digital divide among the faculty members in terms of access skill and utilization to Information and communication Technology (IcT) in order to gather baseline information It utilized descriptive research with 149 faculty respondents The questionnaire used for gathering data went through face and content validation and tested for reliability mean t-test and ANoVA were the tools used for the statistical treatment of data It came out that the faculty members are on the poor side of the digital divide due to limited access to IcT Age gender location of workplace and subjects taught contributed to significant variation in their IcT access A significant difference was found in their IcT skill and utilization when grouped according to age gender civil status subjects taught and educational qualification location of workplace was also a factor to their IcT utilization The state universities and colleges need to develop strategies build and implement training and development programs viable to its current and future IcT capabilities in order to survive and stay ahead in the midst of the educational challenges
