The study aimed to develop a self-rating tool to determine the proficiency of Philippine Higher Education (PHE) STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Agri-Fisheries, Mathematics) Educators. This design and development research emphasized elaborations of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) in the tertiary STEAM education…

This paper presents a summary of preliminary findings regarding the perceptions of the legitimacy and quality of the higher education (HE) student experience through the lens of those studying animal/equine studies foundation degrees and BSc degrees within a small, ostensibly further education (FE) land-based college setting. As part of a PhD…
