To ensure students achieve timely and satisfactory graduation, it's essential to assess their future performance based on ongoing academic records and implement instructional interventions. Within the educational context, students fall into two categories: regular and irregular, each governed by distinct academic regulations. Regular students follow a predetermined curriculum, which provides a clear path to graduation and enhanced access to required courses, facilitating efficient progress toward degree completion. On the other hand, irregular students encounter challenges such as disruptions and delays, necessitating additional time and support to fulfill degree requirements. Guiding both regular and irregular students and improving their study plans require appropriate guidance and academic intervention. To address the existing research gap, this study presents a Criteria-based Recommender Platform for Achieving Optimal Time-to-Graduation Utilizing a Backward Chaining Algorithm. This platform automatically generates a personalized study plan by considering predefined criteria and parameters, enabling students to evaluate the timeline for completing their degree program. By leveraging the backward chaining algorithm, the platform's predictive model captures intricate relationships and dependencies within the data, providing valuable insights and predictions. This adaptive approach continuously refines predictions based on new data, enhancing accuracy and utility in guiding decision-making processes related to study plan generation.

Children in street situations are prone to physical and emotional abuse, exploitation, medical and financial problems. This research aims to examine the root causes of children in street situations' deprivations, to contribute to the welfare of children in street situations, and to propose strategies for addressing the matter through a multimedia project, specifically by a hybrid 2D & 3D educational animated series and website. It will also explore the impact of educational animated series and websites that will provide a comprehensive understanding of the challenges faced by children in street situations. It serves to raise awareness, promote understanding, and potentially generate solutions to improve the lives of children in street situations. This multimedia project can be an educational tool to various NGOs and organizations that cater to children in street situations. This was found to be effective by providing an educational series and website with information on how to access basic needs and to provide a safe and supportive environment for children in street situations. The study utilizes a mixed qualitative and quantitative research design, it provides valuable insights into the challenges through interviews, pre-assessment, post assessment, and survey questions. The study has important implications for policymakers, educators, government, and practitioners working with children in street situations and highlights the importance of providing a safe and supportive environment for children in street situations to thrive.

The assessment of students' academic performance based on ongoing records plays a vital role in enabling timely interventions for successful graduation. Variances in degree program completion times emphasize the need to tailor subjects and courses to individual student requirements. However, limited research exists on student degree completion, presenting challenges related to diverse student backgrounds, information gaps in courses, and accommodating evolving progress in predictions. Educational institutions are adapting flexible curricula, necessitating a diverse range of courses and informed decision-making for academic planning. Structured course sequences in universities ensure a gradual buildup of knowledge and skills, aiding students in tackling more complex subjects progressively. A decision-based recommendation system for predicting graduation time was developed and evaluated using the ISO/IEC 25010 Software Quality Model. This model included parameters like functionality, performance, compatibility, usability, reliability, security, maintainability, and portability. Each parameter was assessed to ensure the system's functionality, performance optimization, cross-platform compatibility, user-friendliness, reliability, security, ease of maintenance, and adaptability to different environments. Through this evaluation, the system's quality and efficacy were comprehensively validated, confirming its ability to achieve intended objectives and meet user requirements.

The Philippines has unique and rich culture; thus, it is also part of its identity. A preliminary test the researchers conducted revealed that the consumers do not consider street food as part of the culture. The Hybrid 2D Animation Documentary tackles the role of street food and street food vendors in the cultural aspect. The evaluation process used in the study is a comparative analysis of the set of pre-assessment and post-assessment evaluations from 30 respondents. The result showed that there had been an increase in value in recognition and acknowledgment of street food after consuming the material. The researchers recommended that street food vendors start acknowledging their cultural role, that multimedia art students create more content featuring the cultural role of street foods, that the teachers introduce the representation of street foods, and that future researchers explore the sanitation issues of street foods.

This capstone project aimed to explore the impact of behavioral and social stress on the mental well-being of early adolescents in the Philippines. The study highlighted the high prevalence of behavioral and emotional problems among Filipino children and emphasized the need for increased access to mental health services. The project focused on assessing the effectiveness of school guidance and counseling services as a potential solution. It effectively evaluated interactivities such as the interactive video and the interactive workbook in identifying and addressing developmental and behavioral concerns. The proponents aimed to provide insights into the factors contributing to behavioral stress and social anxiety among adolescents and suggested interventions to improve their mental well-being. This study was relevant to policymakers, educators, and mental health professionals involved in the well-being of children and adolescents in the Philippines.
