hello! can anyone recommend specific MA programs that, upon completion, produce tangible impact on mental health, policies, et cetera.

i appreciate theory-driven programs, but i envision an MA/PhD journey beyond criticizing theories or finding synthesized gaps; i want something that improves lives cross-cultures.

i’d also appreciate recommendations on scholarships that find huge merit in topping the nationwide licensure (psychometrician), obtaining latin honors, and having ~2-year work experience in the education/training/test development field.

i have no legitimate undergraduate publications under my belt, only podium presentations college-wide.

please let me know if you have any lead in mind! thanks so much.

hi po,

just want to ask if i can commit to my new job in the government while having two IC jobs (U.S and PH).

‘yung current full time ko po sa PH ay nag-suggest na gawin na lang nila akong IC and reduce my working hours to 2 hours a day, or “whatever works” for me. on top of this, may IC din ako na U.S.-based. flexible naman din ito.

ayoko rin pong iwanan ‘yung jobs ko now dahil maayos naman sila at nagagamit ko mga natutunan ko sa university, pero i am also curious about working in the government, and i really like the role i got accepted in. they are also my safety nets na rin in case i eventually realize the government is not for me.

i’m wondering if may same sa ‘kin and is able to pull it off. may legal repercussions ba? nasa SG 13 lang naman po ito, hindi officer level, if that matters.

i’m a newly minted psychometrician (passed my licensure a few months ago), and i happen to have developed an interest in survey validation and survey method (i’m really excited to take this course in my MA this august).

in my current project on Microsoft Excel, i am exploring CVI computations, specifically I-CVI and UA for each item in my questionnaire, then i would simply compute for the S-CVI/Ave and S-CVI/UA; i have no further concerns for as long as there is only one domain/construct with set of items trying to reflect that single domain/construct.

my concern arises when i think of a scenario where i have to validate a survey questionnaire with two or more domains measuring different constructs. do i simply compute the average of all the items and call it scale-level content validity or do i compute the CVI for each domain, or do i do both?

i think what i am really worried here is about the first part; if it’s psychometrically defensible and logical to compute for or average the CVI of all items in one go.

i’d really love to hear your thoughts on this!

hi! anyone who took this course? were you taught how to write and validate a survey from scratch? i’d love to hear any insights you might have on this.

i’m planning to take this as one of my electives to complement my work as a psychometrician in the research and test development field.

thanks so much!

hello po. i’ve grown up from a very poor family. nasa laylayan. tatlo kaming magkakapatid, ako (25) ‘yung bunso. we still are poor kahit nakapagtapos na kaming lahat.

since their childhood, my parents (now in their 60s) have been cooking via “pugon.” kahoy lagi gamit namin sa pagluluto, minsan charcoal. ultimo pag-init ng tubig, ang tagal matapos. naalala ko lagi akong nale-late noong elementary at high school dahil wala pang mainit na tubig.

sa awa ng diyos, i graduated last 2024 and landed on an okay-paying job. on top of my fulltime, may dalawang part-time rin po akong nahanap at nagko-commission. currently, may savings po ako na ₱300K at balak ko na pong bumili ng cooking appliance na multi-purpose; siguro oven at airfryer or electric stove? alin po ba ang best?

‘wag po mag-aalala, hindi ako magtitipid para dito, kaya i would appreciate any recommendation. gusto ko lang maranasan din namin ‘yung best convenience na pwedeng maranasan sa pagluluto. 🥲 ilang dekada na kaming nagluluto sa usok at abo. gusto ko na rin ‘tong itigil.

ang gusto ko po sana ay airfryer o multi-purpose oven pero hindi ko alam kung maganda ba siya sa pagluluto. thank you in advance sa suggestions.
