Abstract

Ginger (Zingiber officinale L.) is one of the priority vegetables and most processed functional food in many parts of the the Philippines. This study assessed the production practices and marketing strategies of ginger in Northern Mindanao from October 2022 to October 2023. It utilized a validated survey questionnaire administered to 160 registered farmers in the provinces of Bukidnon, Camiguin, Lanao del Norte, Misamis Occidental and Misamis Occidental supplemented with key informant interviews, focus group discussion and secondary data. Findings showed that majority of the respondents belong to age bracket 50-59 years old, earn a monthly family income range of PhP 9,520.00 to PhP 19,040.00 and obtain basic education diploma. The respondents “Always Practiced” the recommended production practices and “Moderately Practiced” the suggested marketing strategies for the commodity by the Department of Agriculture. There is a significant relationship between production practices and marketing strategies. There is a significant differnce on the extent of marketing strategies when grouped according to age and monthly and highest educational attainment. Challenges include low market price and high cost of farm inputs which are threats productivity and profitability of the ginger industry.

Abstract

In response to the alarming performance of the learners in the core subjects, this study aimed to improve the learning outcomes using the Strategic Intervention Materials (SIM) in Grade 6 Science subject. Two intact classes with a total of forty-six (46) Grade VI learners were used as participants of the quasi-experimental study. By random approach, the control group had 20 learners, and 26 learners in the experimental group. The effect of SIM to the performance of the struggling learners in science subject was determined using the pre-test and post-test scores of the two groups of participants. Appropriate statistical tools were used to analyse the test scores of the participants by observing the assumptions of parametric test. Results showed that the pre-test scores between the two groups of participants at the start were very comparable. However, the post test scores of the participants from the experimental and control groups were statistically different with a medium effect size. Moreover, the performance of the female participants significantly exceeded the performance of their male counterparts. This was due to the diligence of the female participants in keeping and handling of the SIM for their advantage. The researcher concluded that SIM significantly helped improve the test scores of the learners. For this, it is recommended that SIM be also applied to other learning areas in schools.

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the challenges and satisfaction of the teachers and graduates on the implementation of Senior High School (SHS) Program. Out of 1615 first batch graduates of school year 2017-2018, 306 of them were used as respondents of this study. These respondents were enrolled in two colleges in the Province of Camiguin. While 91 out of 130 SHS teachers from 10 public schools in DepEd-Camiguin represented were used as sample from the SHS implementers. The study utilized the quantitative-descriptive method to answer the research questions. Frequency, mean, ANOVA and multiple regressions were used to analyse the data. The study revealed that the graduate respondents were very disappointed in schools with no laboratories and workshops. They had difficulties in demonstrating their knowledge into actual experiential learning for the tools, materials, equipment and updated audio-visual materials needed were not available, if there were, and then it is not enough. Also, students’ research activities were impeded for no internet connections and other instructional resources available for to use. On the other hand, SHS teachers needed more TGs and CGs, teaching supplies and materials, laboratories and workshops to be effective and efficient to support learning. The graduates were not satisfied on the teachers’ effectiveness and efficiency in delivering the lessons to them. The overall results revealed that there is no significant relationship between satisfactions and challenges among SHS graduates and teachers’ in SHS program implementation. This study found out the need to implement adjustment to address the challenges identified by the respondents. Various programs and activities were needed to address the shortages and needs of the Senior High School community. Moreover, the outcome of the plan adjustments is to encourage the optimistic response of the department heads, school heads, teachers and students. By so doing, improvements will be transpired.

Abstract

Social sustainability is an interdisciplinary approach that ensures human needs are attainable by all and resources are available to all in the community. The study aims to assess the sustainability of social aspects in the multiple-use zone and the buffer zone of Mts Timpoong-Hibok Hibok Natural Monument, Camiguin, Philippines to serve as the basis for sustainable management of the area. The main methods used are descriptive surveys, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. It also utilized the Basic Social Sustainability Assessment System using 5 criteria and 9 indicators with the Sustainability Index from 0 (lowest level) to 1 (highest level). Among the criteria considered for social sustainability in the upland farming communities, the infrastructure of 0.88 is considered sustainable; Access to basic services reached 0.71 and Population 0.81 at a fairly sustainable level, economic criteria reached 0.411 at an average sustainable level, the lowest was the criterion on educational conditions at 0.273 at a less sustainable level. Based on the analysis of social sustainability factors, a comprehensive, and participatory development plan should be put into place by all stakeholders.

Abstract

Mathematics is a learning discipline disliked by most of the learners in schools. This became more complicated when the learners transi-tioned from face-to-face to modular learning modality during the pandemic, and just recently from modular back to face-to-face learn-ing modality. This study aimed to determine the extent of the chal-lenges encountered by the respondents in teaching mathematics and the academic performance among the pupils. Using complete enu-meration, all Grades 4 to 6 mathematics teachers in Mambajao Dis-trict were used as respondents of the study. Quantitative descriptive research design was employed supplemented with survey question-naire as the main data gathering tool. Appropriate statistical tools were used to analyse the collected data. Results showed that majority of the respondents were females, middle-aged, with at least 11 years of teaching experience, and with units in master’s degree course pro-gram. The respondents had always experienced challenges in teach-ing mathematics to the learners, while the learners had a satisfactory academic performance. There was no relationship between the ex-tent of the challenges encountered by the respondents and the aca-demic performance of the learners. Finally, the study found no signifi-cant differences on the extent of the challenges encountered among the respondents when grouped in terms of age, sex, number of years of teaching, and highest educational attainment. The researcher rec-ommended that future researchers may replicate this work with ad-ditional interesting variables.

Abstract

Learning motivation has been known to be a basic determinant of academic achievement, and this can be negatively affected by a disease outbreak and a shift in teaching approach. This study aimed to determine the significant relationships among perception of learning motivation during the COVID-19 pandemic, learning motivation level, and academic performance of Bachelor of Science in Agriculture students of Camiguin Polytechnic State College. It used the explanatory-correlational design with a modified adapted questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation tool in the context of the theories of social learning, protection motivation, operant conditioning, goal-setting, and achievement motivation. Results revealed that respondents perceived their learning motivation during the COVID-19 pandemic as highly enhanced, just as they assessed their learning motivation level as high, although their intrinsic motivation was slightly higher than their extrinsic motivation. The correlation test yielded a significant positive relationship between the respondents' perception of their learning motivation during the pandemic and their intrinsic motivation. However, their learning motivation level had not proven significantly related to their academic performance, and neither had their learning motivation during the pandemic.
