Exploring the Adoption Intention in Using AI-Enabled Educational Tools Among Preservice Teachers in the Philippines: A Partial-Least Square Modeling

This study examines the factors influencing pre-service teachers' behavioral intention to use AI-enabled educational tools during their practicum, using the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2) as the theoretical framework. The model includes the core UTAUT2 constructs such as performance expectancy, effort expectancy, hedonic motivation, social influence, facilitating conditions, price value, and habit. It also incorporates additional predictors including computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, and computer playfulness. Data were collected from 563 pre-service teachers using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that performance expectancy and hedonic motivation are the strongest predictors of behavioral intention. Computer self-efficacy, computer anxiety, and computer playfulness significantly influenced effort expectancy, although effort expectancy did not directly predict behavioral intention. Performance expectancy was significantly predicted by extrinsic motivation, job fit, relative advantage, and outcome expectations. Constructs such as social influence and facilitating conditions showed limited or inverse effects. These findings suggest that internal motivational, cognitive, and emotional factors are more influential than external or institutional factors in shaping the adoption of AI-enabled tools. The study highlights the importance of promoting personal relevance, confidence, and enjoyment in teacher preparation programs to encourage technology integration.

Teachers' Perspectives on Integrating AI tools in Classrooms: Insights from the Philippines

This study explores the attitudes, reservations, readiness, openness, and general perceptions of Filipino teachers in terms of integrating Al in their classrooms. Results shows that teachers express positive attitude towards integrating Al tools in their classrooms. Despite reporting high level of reservations, teachers believed they are ready and very open in complementing traditional teaching methods with these kinds of technologies. Teachers are very much aware with the potential benefits Al tools can offer to their individual student learning needs. Additionally, teachers in this study reported high level of support from their institutions. Recommendations are offered.

Prevalence, Devices Used, Reasons for Use, Trust, Barriers, and Challenges in Utilizing Generative AI among Tertiary Students

This study examined generative AI usage among Philippine college students particularly on frequency, devices, reasons, knowledge, trust, perceptions, and challenges. Most students used free AI tools on smartphones due to financial constraints. They used it primarily for homework, idea generation, and research. Less than half felt confident with AI and expressed mixed feelings about its accuracy. Barriers included limited access, lack of teacher support, difficulty understanding outputs, and financial constraints. The study highlighted the need for better access, support, training, and ethical guidelines. Broader concerns included impacts on learning, academic standards, job loss, and privacy. Students viewed AI positively due to peer support. Recommendations are discussed.

Filipino Use of Designer and Luxury Perfumes: A Pilot Study of Consumer Behavior

This study investigates the usage patterns and purposes of designer perfumes among Filipino consumers, employing purposive and snowball sampling methods as non-probability sampling techniques. Data was collected using Google Forms, and the majority of respondents purchased full bottles of designer perfumes from retailers, wholesalers, and physical stores, with occasional "blind purchases." Daily usage was common, with respondents applying an average of 5.88 sprays in the morning, favoring fresh scent notes and Eau De Parfum concentration. They tended to alternate perfumes daily, selecting different scent profiles according to the Philippine climate. The study reveals that Filipino respondents primarily use designer perfumes to achieve a pleasant and fresh fragrance. Additionally, these perfumes play a role in boosting self-esteem, elevating mood, and enhancing personal presentation. Some respondents reported fewer common applications, such as using perfume to address insomnia and migraines. Overall, the research highlights the significant role of perfume in the grooming routine of Filipino consumers. This study represents the first attempt to comprehend perfume usage patterns and purposes specifically within the Filipino context. Consequently, its findings are invaluable for manufacturers and marketers targeting the Filipino market, providing insights into consumer preferences and motivations.
