In this study, the researcher investigated the perceptions of professional teachers in the Jolo municipality toward Integrating Computer Science into the Basic Education Curriculum (ICSBEC), including the teachers’ required capability on skills and experiences, pupils’ constructive learning and analytical thinking and technological resources, tools, and facilities to facilitate innovation and sophistication in global competitiveness. The findings showed an agreeable response with the chi-square tabular value , which means all professional teachers' perceptions of ICSBEC are about the same, dependent on the following: teachers’ capability on skills and experiences; pupils’ constructive learning and analytical thinking; and technological resources, tools, and facilities needed to meet the need for innovation and sophistication (great skills) in global competitiveness. The findings revealed strong overall support for integrating computer science into the basic educational curriculum, with a mean score of 4.447(185 or 88.94%). They indicated perceived skills and experiences needed for teachers to instruct pupils, with a mean score of 4.341 (180 or 86.54%), agreeing strongly. The constructive learning and analytical thinking skills, with a mean score of 4.515 (187 or 89.90%), strongly agreed. The availability of appropriate technological resources, tools, and facilities to prepare students for global competitiveness, with a mean score of 4.692 (195 or 93.75%), strongly agreed. These results showed positive evidence that the ICSBEC holds potential impacts in cultivating innovation and sophistication among students’ preparedness in a globalized world. The study employed a descriptive-evaluative approach. To gather quantitative data, the researcher utilized surveys distributed to 208 professional teachers and the FGD for qualitative data. The FGD was selected among the supervisors, principals and classroom advisers who possessed the information sought.

In the fast-paced modern world, English and other commonly spoken languages have become prevalent even in Tausug households. This shift towards these languages presents difficulties in preserving and advancing the Tausug language. Therefore, it is essential to discover effective methods to cultivate language foundations and encourage the development of the mother tongue among Tausug toddlers. One hundred and sixty toddlers and 160 parents from eight Barangay in Jolo, Sulu, participated in a study. It was to investigate the effect between Bahasa Sug Mobile Learning Applications and traditional teaching methods in enhancing mother tongue development for toddlers. The results indicated high significance in favor of the Bahasa Sug Mobile Learning Application over the traditional teaching method, as shown by a t-test with a p-value of 0.05. The parents noted Bahasa Sug Mobile Apps' significant value in increasing their children's learning. Bahasa Sug, mobile learning applications, have become valuable tools for nurturing and preserving mother tongues in toddlers. These applications provide engaging and interactive experiences that align with children's natural learning processes. They can create an immersive and interactive environment for toddlers to develop and preserve their mother tongue. By embracing this mobile learning application, it can ensure the continuity and vitality of native languages, allowing children to maintain a strong connection with their cultural heritage and linguistic identity.
