International Journal on Culture, History, and Religion Volume 6 Issue 2 (2024)

Abstract

Welcome to Volume 6, Issue No. 2 of the International Journal on Culture, History, and Religion (IJCHR). We are excited to present our new journal logo and front cover design. Our editors and editorial board members look forward to your engagement with this issue. We believe it will inspire us to explore different perspectives, critically evaluate ideas, encourage meaningful discourses/dialogue, and present emerging trends and issues related to our better understanding of the interaction between culture, history, and religion in the context of the post-COVID-19 world. This will be achieved through the following topical themes:
It is imperative to evaluate the distance learning experiences of university students during the COVID-19 pandemic. This assessment should focus on the students’ readiness, engagement, and performance and the university and administration’s support in addressing academic and non-academic issues the students face (Aguilar et al.). The moral standards within Higher Education Institutions among faculty and students should also be considered (Kong).
Encourage individuals living in religiously diverse societies to participate in meaningful dialogue to promote the holistic development of community members (Kachappilly). Specifically, this involves recognizing the daily challenges automotive mechanics face in the Philippines as they strive to provide affordable transportation for the general public while supporting their families (Ignacio).
It is suggested that climate sensitivity be integrated into the senior high school religious education curriculum under the jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Lipa (Rosales) as a response to the call of Laudato Si. Likewise, it is important to give attention to the historical, socio-political, and catechetical significance of the tradition of performing Sinakulo in Malolos, Bulacan, Philippines (Eballo & Eballo).
Happy reading!
