Determining the academic stress and coping mechanisms of the students allows for a broad understanding of how the online learning environment affects the students' present education. As a result, the researchers adjudged that it was important to find out how the students cope with stress in online learning when the COVID-19 pandemic is present. The researchers considered tertiary freshmen as respondents of the study since they were the ones who made a big shift from basic education to higher education. The results indicate that deadlines were a major source of stress for most of the respondents while attending online classes was a moderately stressful experience for most of the respondents. "Acceptance" earned the highest mean score among the facets of coping strategies, which corresponds to "I've been doing this a medium amount". Students can accept the fact that a specific circumstance has occurred, and they've had to acquire ways of coping with it. But despite their acceptance of the COVID-19 scenario, students still have inhibitions because they want to return to the face-to-face education environment in the future. Lastly, as the students experience stress often, the more that they are using many coping strategies at once. In order to cope with the pandemic, one may want to use several of the coping strategies or to alternate in using them. [The publication year (2022) shown on the PDF is incorrect.

The study determined the problem-solving performance and skills of prospective elementary teachers (PETs) in the Northern Philippines. Specifically, it defined the PETs' level of problem-solving performance in number sense, measurement, geometry, algebra, and probability; significant predictors of their problem-solving performance in terms of sex, socio-economic status, parents' educational attainment, high school graduated from, and subject preference; and their problem-solving skills. The PETs' problem-solving performance was determined by a problem set consisting of word problems with number sense, measurement, geometry, algebra, and probability. A mixed-method research design was employed. Senior PETs purposively served as a sample where they mostly preferred to teach other subjects than mathematics. PETs who preferred math performed satisfactorily, while prospective teachers who opted for other subjects performed unsatisfactorily. The PETs' unsatisfactory output indicates the need for remediation to advance the mathematical material skills and enrich the problem-solving abilities of these primary schools' potential teachers. Besides, results showed that subject preference strongly affected and predicted the problem-solving success of the PETs. PETs who preferred to teach mathematics performed significantly better than their counterparts; hence, mathematics as a field of specialization in the Bachelor of Elementary Education program may be considered by teacher education institutions. Further, most PETs displayed lack of problem-solving skills; thus, a Problem-Solving course is recommended for them.

The multiphase flow of Jeffery fluid under the impact of Magnetohydrodynamic is examined in this analysis. The nanoparticles of Hafnium metal are mixed up in the base fluid along with the impact of the electroosmotic phenomenon having a great significance in the present decade. Two different models, namely particulate and fluid phases, are considered for a convergent geometry with numerous usages in practical life, especially in modern technologies like microfluidic devices, chemical analysis, soil analysis, and other industries. The set of partial differential equations are converted into ordinary differential equations by using the non-dimensional quantities and obtained the exact solution of the resulting boundary value problem. The impact of physical parameters involving in the study is highlighted through graphs. To observe the flow pattern, the streamlines are also constructed. The Hartman number and Jeffrey fluid parameter slow down the velocity of fluid and particle phases. The Helmholtz-Smoluchowski parameter reduces the streamlines while the flow pattern remains unchanged via $ {U_{HS}} $ U HS . Moreover, the results are also compared with the previously published literature and noted excellent agreement with each other. The developed mathematical will be helpful in the diverse geometries used widely in medical and engineering walks to incorporate the fluid in complicated places like species separation, biomedical lab-on-a-chip devices, DNA sequences and stimulated drugs in diverse veins colliers, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research paper investigated the effectiveness of the discovered formula in squaring numbers using patterns in a sequence introduced by the researchers as an innovation in teaching and learning mathematics. The researchers came up with the idea to use the patterns in sequence to develop a rule or formula for squaring numbers. The developed formula was evaluated as effective and efficient since the technique only used basic multiplication and addition that covers all numbers. Descriptive-developmental and evaluation research was utilized in this paper. Twenty professional teachers working in different capacities were purposively selected as respondents. Meanwhile, the technique was very effective as it promotes innovative and creative ease of introducing new methods to the learners with an overall weighted mean of 3.68. Thus, it increases students' engagement in mathematics. Likewise, the respondents, found the technique as timely and relevant, aids learners in squaring numbers without using a calculator, is engaging and enjoyable, provide opportunities to learners, and can be utilized in some mathematics competition. Therefore, this new pedagogical strategy will help students in squaring numbers easily. Lastly, it implies that teacher's methodology and strategy may affect the learning of students. Thus, innovations such as providing alternative solutions will increase their learning in mathematics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
