Description The 21st century is marked by rapid technological acceleration and continuous shifts in computing paradigms. Modern engineering curricula now require proficiency in emerging fields such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Quantum Computing, and Neuromorphic Systems, which define global competitiveness. However, this rapid innovation highlights a serious infrastructure gap across many State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) in the Philippines, especially in provincial areas. The disparity between global standards and local capabilities weakens the country’s ability to produce globally competent, job-ready computer engineering graduates. This issue is not solely technical but rooted in political and budgetary shortcomings that demand ethical governance and prioritized investment.

Abstract This study assessed the local information dissemination practices of Barangay Public Information Officers (PIOs) and Barangay Secretaries in the municipality of Dapa, Surigao del Norte. It examined existing communication practices, level of awareness in communication dissemination, training needs, and challenges encountered in barangay-level information dissemination. The findings served as the basis for developing a proposed Communication Literacy Program. The study employed a convergent mixed-methods research design using survey questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, weighted means, standard deviations, and gap analysis, while qualitative data were analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings revealed that barangay officials commonly used both digital and traditional communication channels, particularly Facebook-based platforms and interpersonal communication. Respondents demonstrated a generally high level of awareness in ethical communication, information verification, audience engagement, digital communication, and crisis communication. However, gaps remained in the practical application of communication skills, especially in misinformation management, digital engagement, and crisis communication. The study also recognized the possible influence of social desirability bias in respondents’ self-assessment ratings. Challenges related to limited communication resources, misinformation, weak feedback systems, and inconsistent public engagement are further identified. Based on the findings, a context-responsive Communication Literacy Program guided by the ADDIE Framework was developed and positively evaluated during pilot implementation. The study concluded that continuous communication capacity-building initiatives could strengthen local information dissemination practices and support more effective barangay governance.

ACADEMIC FRONTIERS Multidisciplinary e-Publication, 2(3), 57–66. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19156768 Read File Author(s) Amarillo, Gemma E. Abstract All 19 respondents were female teachers, mostly aged 31–40 (9), with 11 married and 8 single. Eighteen were pursuing a Master’s degree, and one was a BSEEd graduate. In terms of teaching experience, eight had more than six years, while seven had one to three years. Seventeen received a “Very Satisfactory” rating. Most had attended trainings at the division (15) and district (10) levels, with fewer participating at the national (7) and regional (4) levels. In terms of the effectiveness of the Reading Enhancement Achieving Progress (REAP) program, it was rated as “Much Effective” in enhancing word recognition and decoding, improving fluency and accuracy, and developing reading comprehension, with a grand mean of 3.94. Regarding learners' reading performance based on the Comprehensive Reading and Language Assessment (CRLA), most were at the proficient (75) and basic (59) levels, while some were excellent (33), limited (22), or needed improvement (11). A significant relationship was found between the effectiveness of REAP and learners’ reading performance, with a chi-square value of 9.87 and a p-value of 0.029, indicating that REAP had a meaningful impact. In terms of issues and concerns, teachers highlighted challenges such as accurately assessing progress (15), addressing diverse learning needs (13), student engagement and motivation (11 each), sustainability and parental support (9 each), time constraints (7), and limited resources (5).
