Today, educational landscape in the higher learning has changed because of the concept of blended education. Communication and information technologies provide a great impact by means of access to digital devices and collaborative communication in all courses. This new concept has formed diverse methodologies aimed at an enhanced education. This paper evaluated on the educators and learners’ insight on the achievement and challenges of Blended Learning Environment(BLE). The survey questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection. A total of 25 teachers and 156 students out of 327 of Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas enrolled in courses of Bachelor of Elementary and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration for the period of 2018-2019 served as the respondents of this study. The BLE is found to have more success rather than challenges based from the results of the study. Positive results were revealed from the data analysed based on the respondents’ perception regardless of their age, gender and number of years using BLE. To promote BLE in teaching and learning in the Institution, an action plan was crafted by the researcher. Revisiting and intricate revision is recommended for the viability of the said action plan for future academic endeavours.

Mathematics is one of the difficult subjects for senior high school in Indonesia. With an experimental design; the two different research treatments, was carried out in Senior High School (SMA) 3 Padang Sidempuan, South Tapanuli Regency of Indonesia. It compared the students' learning result in learning the functional composition between who obtained group and individual assignments in the second grade of Senior High School (SMA) 3 Padang Sidempuan academic years 2016-2017. The test scores that have obtained were analyzed the t-test statistic formula. With an ideal score of 15; the average class score of students in second grade of Senior High School, The experimental group got the average score = 10,14 with variance = 2.201, standard deviation = 1.483. In contrast, the control one was = 8.64 with variance = 3.201 and standard deviation = 1.789.

Human capital has become important because knowledge is a critical ingredient for gaining competitive advantages, particularly in the New Economy era.It has been described as becoming the preeminent resource for creating economic wealth. To date, several studies have been conducted to determine the relationship between human capital and company performance.The relationship between human capital and economic growth has been explored.However, past literature reveals that artificial intelligence techniques have not been utilized in understanding the effect of human capital on economic growth.Artificial intelligence techniques such as neural networks have been successfully applied to business and financial problems.To this end, the neural networks approach was used to determine the impact of human capital on the New Economy.This paper discusses the results of the exploratory study for predicting demand for human capital. Data from 1971 to 1996 was collected for this study.The variables used for the prediction were based on Canadian’s Human Capital Measurement as suggested by Laroche and Merrette (2000).The exploratory study indicated that neural network is a potential approach for predicting the GDP based on human capital. In conjunction with neural network approach, statistical methods were also used to explain the relationships between variables in the study.
