Large Language Models have garnered significant attention from companies, universities, and research groups in recent times, driven by the abundance of data available for their training. However, little evidence has been conducted in the field of education, leaving a huge gap that needs to be filled. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the use of new areas of artificial intelligence in the field of education. We use the PRISMA method to analyze the relevant contents in detail to gather data, covering articles collected in the contemporary period between January 2019 and 2024. Results from 54 reviewed publications indicated that trends of utilizing LLMs in education have increased significantly since 2022 and arXiv preprint is the most common repository for declaring researchers’ ideas. The application of LLMs can support the achievement of learning objectives, enhance the quality and accuracy of assessments, and contribute to improving the educational environment as well as the practical application of various subjects. Seven limitations are identified and discussed, opening several avenues for future research agenda.

Purpose: Schools faced the philosophy of life and the existence of local culture which has become a local indigenous perspective. This paper aims to reflect on the role that schools play in shaping the local culturebased educational environment. Using the narrative inquiry method (qualitative research), and data collection through in-depth interviews and documentation studies. Data analysis including condensation, presentation, conclusion and verification. The results show that the role of schools in shaping local culture-based education through sympathetic and affirmative policies on indigenous children, indigenous teachers, and local indigenous youth. The educational environment based on local culture such as the terms pela-gandong, ale rasa-beta rasa, potong dikuku rasa didaging, sago salempang patah dua which is the philosophy of life of local culture, can be absorbed in increasing the affection of all elements in the school through the practice of caring attitudes, a sense of brotherhood, respect, and togetherness. This research increases insights in educational institutions that are in an indigenous environment, by studying and adopting local culture-based education questions. This research can bridge the gap between indigenous peoples’ marginality and educational progress, especially in indigenous.

The Department of Education (DepEd) resorts to using Self-Learning Modules (SLM) with the alternative learning delivery modalities for various types of learners across the Philippines. This sudden change in the methodology of teaching is commonly known as Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT). Emergency Remote Teaching is a shift of delivering lessons due to crisis. This phenomenological qualitative research aims to determine the experiences of STEM Research teachers during Emergency Remote Teaching. On this premise, a phenomenological research design was conducted among the STEM Research teacher of Pangasinan Province, Philippines. The researchers seek information on the difficulties encountered, actions taken, and suggested measures of the STEM research teachers using an interview method. The participants were selected by the researchers via purposive convenience sampling since the study was conducted in the middle of a pandemic. Interview questions were done online and phone calls upon the availability of the respondents. The data were interpreted and analyzed after participants shared their experiences as research teachers at the time of the pandemic. The results reveal the following statements. The student’s struggle of understanding the lesson and delivery of instruction is the main difficulties experienced by the respondent-teachers. This is supported by technical difficulties and struggle in monitoring and evaluation. The actions taken by the teacher-respondents to address this were constant and use of different modes of communication. This includes individual consultation and the use of blended learning. The research teachers suggested measures for the stakeholders are the organization of training and creating unified learning materials. While the teacher-respondents also suggested stakeholders’ investment in scientific research.
