However, it can also be a source of increased anxiety and distress among people. This anxiety due to excess searching for medical information online is known as cyberchondria. Even before the COVID-19 global pandemic, research suggest that teachers' performance and productivity can also be negatively influenced by stress and anxiety. This study aimed to evaluate the cyberchondria constructs among teachers in the basic and higher education institutions in Cagayan de Oro City using the Cyberchondria Severity Scale (CSS-15). Data are collected among the 143 basic and higher education teacher-respondents and results revealed that majority of them are affected with the compulsion (81.81%), distress (93.71%), excessiveness (98.6%) and reassurance (90.91%) constructs of cyberchondria with excessiveness construct being severely affected. There are only 28.67% of the teacher-respondents who are affected by mistrust of a medical professional. Further analysis showed that the cyberchondria constructs are independent and teachers from the basic and higher education institutions shared the same level of cyberchondriasis. Hence, it can be concluded that there is a high prevalence of cyberchondria among teachers and it is recommended that strategic interventions and measures need to be designed and implemented by school administrators to preserve teachers' wellbeing and foster positive teaching performance and students' learning outcomes.

The texts, images, videos and the audio presentation of the text2teach educational media showed strong positive relationship on pupils' academic performance in English, Mathematics, and Science. Although the texts, images, videos, and audio showed a significant relationship, the audio showed the greater significant impact on pupils' academic performance. Finally, the teachers and students wanted to have a localized version of the text2teach educational media to have a stronger effect on their academic achievement in English, Mathematics, and Science. They also suggested that all the learning competencies must be covered in the text2teach educational media and the presentation should be clear, accurate and not boring.
