A research paper authored by Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) students achieved a rare distinction at an international academic conference, standing out not only for its methodology but also for the academic level of its authors.

The study, titled “English Language Anxiety Among BEED Students: Basis for an Intervention Plan,” was presented at the joint 1st International Conference on Graduate Research in Teacher Education (IC-GRaTE 2025) and the 3rd International Graduate Teacher Education Summit (IGTES), held at Palawan State University (PSU) in Puerto Princesa City, 19-21 November

Notably, the paper was the only undergraduate research accepted for presentation in a conference otherwise dominated by graduate studies. Beyond mere acceptance, the paper excelled in the competition. It was ranked 5th overall among 70 submitted and reviewed research manuscripts and was subsequently honored with a Best Paper Award.
