Lunsaran (literally meaning launchpad or starting point) is the Educational Media Center’s dedicated local research collection that serves as a repository and gateway for scholarly works produced within the institution and its surrounding communities. The collection highlights research that reflects local knowledge, contexts, issues, and innovations, providing a foundation for further inquiry and academic engagement.

The Lunsaran Collection gathers theses, dissertations, faculty research, institutional studies, community-based research, and other scholarly outputs that contribute to understanding local realities and practices. By preserving and organizing these works, Lunsaran supports the EMC’s role in promoting knowledge sharing, evidence-based practice, and locally grounded scholarship.

Beyond preservation, Lunsaran functions as a platform for discovery and inspiration. Students, faculty, and researchers can access previous studies to identify research gaps, explore methodological approaches, and build upon existing knowledge. In this way, the collection becomes a launching point for new research, encouraging scholars to engage with local contexts and contribute to the growth of the institution’s research culture.

Through Lunsaran, the EMC strengthens its commitment to making local scholarship visible, accessible, and impactful, ensuring that research generated within the community continues to inform learning, innovation, and development.

Abstract

Fr. Nebres ofthe Ateneo de Manila University stressed the need to instill the value oflove of country in order for students to become effective leaders. This shows how much importance is placed on values that foster leadership among young people. Studies have confirmed the applicability ofthe arts in promoting leadership in young adults. However, there is a dearth of art programs that nurture leadership values in the elementary level. This is important since the transitional stage of youth (Erikson, 1969) plays a major role in enhancing the sense of leadership in young people from 12 to 13 years old. If it is practical to develop leaders through college art programs abroad, then it is also feasible to prepare an art program here in the nation that can foster leadership values in elementary school. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a researcher-prepared art program on fostering the perception on leadership values in Grade 6 co-educational students. Using the Wilcoxon Rank Signed Test of the Behavioral Anchored Rating Scales (Smith & Kendall, 1963), eight leadership values were analyzed. Evidence shows that the program used yielded a significant improvement in five leadership values, which are (1) respect, (2) initiative and helpfulness, (3) teamwork, (4) love for the Filipino language, and (5) love for God. From these results, students in the program made a significant progress as they develop their respect for elders, took the initiative to help others, and engaged in teamwork. It is hoped that this program will help spark the interest in training young people to become effective leaders in the realm of art.
