Vol. 3 No. 3 (2025): Volume 3 Issue 3
The March 2025 issue of the Journal of Interdisciplinary Perspectives connects practical experimentation with questions about everyday experience. In Negros Oriental, researchers compare mushroom production using banana leaves, rice straw, and cogon. A separate laboratory study investigates whether an enzyme from turkey tail fungus grown on rice stems can help degrade polyethylene, bringing agricultural by-products into research on plastic waste.
Education studies examine learning through interactive physics toys and virtual reality in aircraft maintenance training. Other contributions explore learners’ anxiety about speaking English and the experiences of English teachers assigned to teach other subjects.
The issue also considers household water security in Tuba, Benguet, and how Filipinos caring for multiple generations make room for self-care. A literary study examines how Pecola Breedlove’s language in Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye conveys vulnerability and powerlessness.
We thank the authors, reviewers, and editorial team for their work on this issue. We invite readers to engage with these studies and consider the questions they raise for their own research and practice.
