COMMUNITY

Cooper et. Al (2014) University Community Partnerships , efforts on university-community

partnerships in municipalities with a number of common challenges: a long and often tense
relationship with the institutions of higher education they are home to; physical constraints on
real estate development; a formerly robust industrial presence long on the decline; and
considerable reliance on universities to provide jobs and economic activity. While a number of
older cities throughout the country fit this description, it is unsurprising that these case studies
are all found in southern New England, where the density of settlement is high, the level of
deindustrialization is extensive, and the influence of the university in municipal and community
affairs is powerful. Boston, Worcester, Providence, and New Haven, the cities included in this
paper, are home to a total of more than fifty colleges and universities. Taken together, those
fifty-plus institutions represent a considerable portion of the total employment, acreage, and
economic impact within the cities’ borders.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT

Local and regional governments (LRGs) play crucial roles in the technological economic

development of their communities. Development starts in the local community and is

communicated to the national community. Studies and surveys are conducted to assess the need

of each location for better improvement. Most of the time, job order groups are held responsible

to determine the needed details and necessity of everyone per location so these people can

understand and receive messages easily. Leaders of local economic development (LED), LRGs

work with the people of their communities to develop strategic visions for the future of their

cities, towns, and villages, and implement a wide variety of policies and measures to bring these

visions to life [Link]

 Harrington and Maysami (2015) concluded that regional colleges and universities are

essential in delivering economic and workforce with informational resources that support local

and regional economies. Similarly, industrialists create economic prospects and build enterprises

through deliberate planning and risk taking. By developing and supporting entrepreneurs,

colleges and universities provide an important catalyst for new businesses and a flexible,

creative, and well-educated workforce. In addition stated the suggestion that higher institutions

are prime for cultivating innovation to respond to the economic, cultural, and social development

in local areas. It is of great importance to look at the combination of higher institutions with

regional economies, which is also echoed who said that colleges and universities are very

important component of National Innovation System. also investigated the effects of urban

institutions of higher education on social sustainability of the community.

Anita Faye Thompson (2014) The Role of Higher Education in Rural Community Development

said, rural community colleges meet at an important junction between academic, business, and

government. Because of this inimitable position, they influence the economic development of the

region in which they are in many ways. Their external stakeholders, such as the community,

often have distinctive and effective viewpoints on this impact that can be utilized by the college

to improve their efficient development interactions. Uneven access to broadband and technology,

high rates of poverty, and a lack of alternative employment for the unemployed; the need to

provide skills training in educational deserts; and tight budgets in a sector that is chronically

underfunded—these are the forces that have shaped rural community colleges’ response to the

pandemic. Yet despite these challenges, an informal survey of rural institutions indicates that this

is not a story of defeat, but one of creativity and commitment in serving students and local

communities.

 Phillips and Pittman (2015), begin with the foundations of population development,

Community Development offers a comprehensive and practical approach to preparing for

communities. Road-tested in the authors' own teaching, and through the instruction they provide

for practicing planners, it enables students to begin making connections between academic study

and practical know-how from both private and public sector contexts. Many people know that

development shapes population trends—for example, rising incomes usually lead to falling

birthrates. But the reverse is also true: population trends can impede or hasten development.

CGD's work on population focuses on this often-neglected interaction. Rapid population increase

can exacerbate the challenge of ensuring that future development is sustainable and inclusive.

Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those related to health, education and

gender equality, can contribute to slowing global population growth. Today, millions of people

around the globe, mostly in low-income and lower-middle-income countries, lack access to the

information and services needed to determine whether and when to have children.

Martin Lackeus (2016) ENTREPERNEURSHIP IN EDUCATION concluded that the

regional economic development in the United States remains the vital task of the America's

leading universities, in particular the land-grand colleges and universities which provide the

proficient instruction directed to practical use of the gained knowledge and skills and could meet

needs of the U.S. economy. The study reveals that in the modern strategies of regional economic

development in the United States the focus on innovation and entrepreneurship caused by a key
involvement of these kinds of activity in regional and local economic growth as well as

Population growth in a community suggests a good strategy to address the sustainable

management of upland resources must include a reduction in the rate of population growth. This

must be powered by a national consensus on the need for a vigorous population control program.

National and international efforts could vigorously pursue that policy dialogue by supporting the

call by a group of Filipino development specialists for a new national consensus on establishing

the two-child family NEDA(2019)

[Link]

The poorest families in the rural location have the highest birth and mortality rates.

Government must redirect agricultural and technological programs to ensure that there are

greater investments in village-level industry and paramedical personnel, and family planning.

Thus, the survey and planning should be an integral part of the effort of the government. The

cost and political risks from embarking on a vigorous population control program will

necessitate strong and sustained international support. Demographic goals and an effective
organization to meet those goals must be highlighted as a fundamental component of such

support (Dennis Garrity& Guiang, 2019). THE PHILIPPINES

TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENT

Digitalization and the advance use of information and communication technologies (ICT)

are essential factors of successful innovation, competitiveness, and growth, and they provide

numerous opportunities for both children and adults. It creates a way that different functional

units within an organization can translate raw data into insights across various touchpoints. By

doing this, it produces a single view of the customer journey, operations, production, finance,

and business opportunities. Data protection is no longer solely an IT task, but a strategic business

initiative, largely due to stricter regulations and severe consequences in the case of data loss. As

part of your digital transformation, it’s important to develop a framework for safeguarding

sensitive data. Digitalization drastically change the future of the automotive industry through

new mobility concepts. From autonomous driving to existing sharing models and completely

new concepts such as the rental of electric scooters, digitalization will allow new models of

usage in the future. In the future, digitalization will create new challenges for schools and

education, training and further education, public administration, and associations. It is the

responsibility of industry, organizations and politics to prepare society for the changes that can

be expected in the future from digitalization. Rather than only collecting and documenting your

reports in a digital format (digitization), TruQC empowers you to glean insights and efficiencies

from that data by tracking issues and running data summaries (digitalization). The TruQC team
can also use APIs to integrate with your management and legacy databases to show how you can

learn from this data and use it to update future strategies.

TECHNOLOGY

Infographics are classified into two types: collaborative and static. Another thing,

infographics have key similarities in that they both rely on visual representations to communicate

information to their users. Static infographics use images and text to visually represent difficult

subjects. Maps, charts, and graphics are examples of components. Static infographics are

typically used as fixed resources which do not need user involvement. Data visualization in the

form of basic charts and graphs are the most popular infographics.  Data vision is simply a visual

representation of data. It is considered an artistic science as it uses design aesthetics to increase

data comprehension, synthesis, and ultimately recall. Whether people look at meta patterns or

single data points, data visualization translates that data into a visual language you can easily and

instantly understand. Interactive infographics, on the other hand, rely on the readers, who must

influence them by viewing movies, choosing visual components, or answering questions.

Since the introduction of writing systems, reading comprehension has always been a foundation

for achievement in several areas within the educational system, as well as a prerequisite for

successful participation in most areas of adult life. The increased availability of technologies and

web-based resources can be a valid support, both in the educational and clinical field, to devise

training activities that can also be carried out remotely. There are studies in current literature that

has examined the efficacy of internet-based programs for reading comprehension for children
with reading comprehension difficulties but almost none considered distance rehabilitation

programs. They are termed interactive because they solicit user interaction and collect statistics,

data, and information. (Shaltout & Fatani, 2017)

In accordance with Kaware, Sain and Wesera (2015), integrating technology into

philosophy and education is not a new challenge for universities. Since the 1900s, administrators

and faculty have grappled with the way to efficiently use technical innovations such as including

video and audio recordings, email, and teleconferencing to enhance or update traditional

educational delivery methods (Kaware & Sain, 2015; Westera, 2015).

The results of linear structural relations (LISREL) analysis of Swedish SMEs provide empirical
evidence that the effect of opportunity connectedness on innovation outcomes in foreign business
relationships is mediated by the level of innovative collaboration. These results indicate that
SMEs need a relatively higher level of innovative collaboration in their partnerships with foreign
market customers to convert opportunities conceived in home- and international- market
networks into innovative outcomes in comparison to opportunities conceived in host-market
networks. This finding implies that as opportunities become increasingly contextually remote,
the importance of collaborative business relationships increases. By showing these results, the
study contributes to research in the international small-business domain that seeks to identify
important prerequisites of SME innovation.
The arithmetical innovation now has a significant effect on everyday life, as witnessed by the
widespread use of smart devices and the continuous incorporation of technology into everyday
activities such as purchasing, interpretation, and directing (Daniel Tolstoy, 2016)

adoption remains one of the defining factors in human progress. To that end, there has been a

noticeable rise over the past two years in the percentage of people in the emerging and

developing nations surveyed by Pew Research Center who say that they use the internet and own

a smartphone. And while people in unconventional economies still use the internet more and

own more high-tech gadgets, the rest of the emerging world is catching up.1 The practice of

laptops, mobile gadgets, and the Internet is in demand, and it's expected to continue to rise as

RATIONAL ADVANCEMENT FOR STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY

Thomas Alves et. al(2020), Cognitive styles, particularly the reflectivity-impulsivity type,

are crucial, in developing, synthesizing, analyzing, and evaluating learning information helps the

community succeed much of the studies explored the impact of emphasizing age's cognitive

types, such as reflectivity-impulsivity, to boost their learning abilities and outcomes. Early age is

the foundation of learning that’s why using the technology in early age is already introduced.

When it comes to the role of technology in the early childhood education years, it can be a bit of

a controversial topic. While some people may think that young children don’t need technology, it

can play a positive role in a child’s learning and development. Plus, in today’s technology heavy

world, learning how to use it is a necessary life skill. It’s not only the students who benefit with

the use of technology though. It also provides early childhood educators with unlimited access to

newer, more innovative teaching methods that allow them to facilitate an active learning

environment for their young students. One of the main uses for technology in the classroom

is training and reinforcing core academic skills. One simple learning activity designed for a

tablet or computer can help children learn counting, numbers, letters, colors, sounds, matching

shapes, etc. Activities can be adapted to fit the individual needs of the student much easier than

traditional printed worksheets and packets. For example, students who breeze through an online

activity could be switched to a more advanced level, whereas students who are struggling to

answer questions correctly can review the material they answered incorrectly or be redirected to

another activity that’s more on their level.

[Link]
 Rachel V. Staddon (2020), Mature students are anecdotally thought to be more anxious

about technology than younger students, to the extent that they avoid using technology. This is a

problem in today’s higher education classrooms which often use a range of learning

technologies, particularly as cohorts are becoming more and more likely to contain mature

students. Previous work examining the attitudes of mature students to technology no longer

reflects contemporary student age profiles or the current technological landscape. This study asks

whether modern mature students in a UK university have more negative attitudes towards

technology than younger students, and whether their usage of technology is different. A new

diagnostic instrument, the Technology Attitudes Questionnaire, was developed to determine how

students use technology for course activities and personal use, and their attitudes towards

technology more generally. It was found that mature students use fewer technologies than

younger students and use them less frequently but have used them for a longer period over their

lives. No difference was found for attitudes towards technology between the mature and younger

groups. This research aims to contribute to the wider field of technology attitudes and use,

particularly for the modern mature student cohort. These findings can be used to inform how

educators design learning resources and use technology on their courses, working towards an

age-inclusive programmer.

Teleconference schoolrooms allow both student and instructor to associate with ease and

reproduced resources. Multiple sources are inexhaustible on the Internet, and information can be

obtained through video, auditory, graphic introduction and so on. Current investigate has shown

that ICT helps in transforming and educating nature into a learner-centered one (Castro Sánchez

Perception of learning mediated by information technologies and communicate in high

The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) has become an engine for

transforming education around the world. Due to the Covid-19 health crisis, educational

institutions have increased the use of ICT to guarantee quality education and face student

problems; therefore, the purpose of the research was to analyze the perception of learning

mediated by the use of ICT in the training of university [Link] education Mariuxi Pardo-

Cueva et. al (2021)

Unarguably, technology has become an irreversible force driving the transformation of

teaching and learning practices. Cloud computing, learning analytics, big data, and artificial

intelligence are being adopted in today’s teaching and learning, though to different extents. For

over a decade, educational researchers have been exploring how different innovative means

could be integrated into traditional learning in order to enrich learning experience and enhance
learning effectiveness. Enabled by various pedagogical and technological innovations, brand new

learning environments can be created to optimize learners’ ability to learn. Smart devices and

intelligent technologies in smart learning environments can be used to promote the development

of personalized learning and adaptive learning for students. The smart learning environment has

a large potential to effectively promote the development of personalized learning and adaptive

learning They are collectively referred as the commonly known “smart learning environments”

which can best delineate the future learning environments. Embracing a variety of concepts,

including but not limited to flexible learning, personalized learning, mobile learning, adaptive

learning, and blended learning, for obvious reasons, there are no one single form of smart

learning environments. The concepts, and even definitions, of smart learning environments have

continuously emerging. The use of technology in the learning environment can develop students’

higher-level thinking by moving beyond simple memorization and recall (Lee & Choi, 2017).

[Link]

In a clever culture environment, more attention has been paid to individual needs of

students. Adaptive learning through technological device provides technical and methodological

support for personalized learning. Personalized adaptive learning makes adaptive adjustments

according to the individual characteristics of learners to promote the individualized development

of students. To achieving this goal, new pedagogical approaches are required regarding the

effective application of integrating technologies into the curriculum in a smart learning

environment, to improve the effectiveness and efficacy of students’ learning. Students who
exhibit higher-order thinking are more likely to be academically successful (Zohar &

Dori, 2009).

[Link]

In a smart learning setting, a fundamental shift is needed towards a more personalized,

social, open, dynamic, emergent, and knowledge-pull model for learning, as opposed to the one-

size-fits-all, centralized, static, top-down, and knowledge-push models of traditional learning

solutions .It is basically an adaptive system that improves learning experience based on learning

traits, preferences and progress, features increased degrees of engagement, knowledge access,

feedback and guidance, and uses rich-media with a seamless access to pertinent information,

real-life and on-the-go mentoring with the use of technologies to continuously enhance the

learning environment (Singh & Hassan, 2017).

As digital technologies develop and assist coordinated by the Internet, it gets to be

conceivable to incorporate different levels of interactivity in data visualization. Unmistakable

news organizations, counting The Modern York Times, Washington Post, and Gatekeeper,

frequently consolidate intelligently information visualizations into their new stories. By utilizing

liveliness methods, such as zooming, sifting, connecting, and drill-down operations, clients can

openly explore visualized information and discover the precise information esteem of intrigued.

In expansion, intelligently visualizations can energize author-reader interaction by welcoming

readers to openly investigate particular information or points of interest in a bigger system set up

by the creator, according to the article of “Communicating Data: interactive infographics,

scientific data and credibility” by (Segel & Heer, 2010). As stated above, the advanced

innovations prepare communicators to display information in striking, inventive, and energetic

designs. They ought to guarantee that such visuals don’t occupy or befuddle watchers something

else, it can be useless or seen untrustworthy.

AGE/READINESS

Established scholars have been found to be more likely to accept higher-order methods

over memorization approaches. Therefore, attitudes are an important factor in order for design

approaches to work as intended, and it is vital to explore these when designing TEL resources.

Lee and Choi (2017) found that the use of technology can help them to do so. Students’ attitudes

towards technology indirectly affect higher-order thinking, which in turn increases academic

success. Therefore, attitudes are an important factor in order for design approaches to work as

intended, and it is vital to explore these when designing TEL resources.

Age-related social identification hence describes the extent to which a specialist

recognizes with a certain age gather (i.e., more youthful, middle-aged, or more seasoned

distinguishing proof are some of the times called “Affective and Social Identification”.

Moreover, self-categorization theory suggests that people categorize their “selves” at different

AGRICULTURE

Most Filipinos' basic food, rice, is formed in inadequate amounts. Corn production is

more than sufficient to meet the needs of the entire region. Although white corn is preferred as a
secondary staple food, the corn business prioritizes yellow corn production, with the majority of

this going to feed ingredients for livestock and poultry. Sugarcane, pineapple, and bananas have

caused a shift in land use, putting rice and corn in direct competition. Northern Mindanao is one

of the top producers of tomatoes, carrots, and potatoes, but farmers have had challenges in

realizing their potential profits from these crops. Despite the fact that Bukidnon province is the

region's biggest agricultural producer, poverty levels remain high and needed more attention to

be subjected to proper production. (Dejarme-Calalang et al. 2015).

The livestock industry in the Philippines is an important part of the country's agricultural

industry. It contributes about 18.23% of the gross product value in agriculture and provides a

source of income for many people in rural regions, demonstrating its economic significance. The

government's various initiatives, such as the import of high-producing purebreds of various

species, were implemented in response to the constantly increasing demand for animal protein

associated with the increase in the world's population, resulting in the intensification of livestock

production (Ortega A et al. 2021).

The planting of trees in areas where agroforestry is practiced aids in keeping the

temperature in those areas. Trees also aid in the delivery of rainstorms to the region, which aids

in the growth of greenery and crops, as well as the support of animals that live there. Trees also

help to protect crops from severe winds and soil erosion, which can harm crops as well as the

soil's fertility. There are a variety of medicines and herbal cures that can be taken from trees

planted in these areas, and they may be utilized to produce medicines at a low cost, allowing

more people to access drugs. (Ahsen Soomro, 2020).

INDUSTRIAL AND AGRICULTURAL

The ability of collaborative infographics is utilized to work as a peripheral prompt to

extend the states of mind of these low-interest people. From the article of “Interactive

Infographics' Effect on Elaboration in Agricultural Communication” (Wojdynski, 2015) It is

expressed, that collaborative might particularly have an impact on those who are something else

slightest expected to lock in with a memorandum. Other than substitute as a constructive fringe

prompt, cooperative development is required. Infographics may be applied in rural transmission

to battle supposition overload of the ignorant shopper by showing real information in a way that's

both locks in and simple to get it, which permits purchasers to shape their possess conclusions

almost issues in agriculture. As stated above, the positive impact of interactivity in terms of

states of mind and basic considering displayed in this ponder affirms that interactivity could be a

valuable methodology to include in the tool stash of agrarian communicators. As well as a viable

thrust for rural communicators to seek after more intuitively communication procedures to

superior tell the story of farming.

Karen Debbie Jabenar Cosrojas, Rec E Eguia (2021) the objectives were achieved using

secondary data for the 16 regions in the Philippines. Location Quotient (LQ) and correlation

analysis were used as tools to make sense of the data. Results show several key industries in each

region which from the assumptions of the LQ formed the economic base of the region. The

findings show non-significant correlation between regional industry concentration and the GVA

for agriculture.

Revolutionizing the country’s agricultural sector is a very significant agenda for the

Philippines is needed according to Ndiame Diop(2020). With the exemption of a fewer accepted

resource-rich countries, no country has successfully transitioned from middle- to high-income

status without having achieved an effective transformation of their agri-food systems.

Converting agriculture and food systems is always challenging but the country's new vision for

agriculture, it's current thrust for diversification and use of modern technologies, and its

operative management of food supply during this pandemic clearly indicate that the country is

well-equipped to overcome the challenge. In situations where farmers need support to help them

access markets and improve their livelihood, or when compensation measures are needed for

farmers affected by trade policies such as the rice liberalization in the Philippines, direct cash

payments or cash transfers can be a better option, as practiced in many countries like Turkey,

European Union, and the US, says the report. These direct payments have many advantages, such

as giving farmers more choices and encouraging private sector development in upstream (inputs

and agricultural services) and downstream (processing, marketing) markets, thereby helping

farmers connect to these markets and opportunities.
