Abstract

Preserving students' engagement and drive in a digital setting poses a formidable obstacle for instructors, particularly amidst the pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teachers have been required to modify their instructional approaches and devise novel tactics to promote academic involvement. This study conducted action research to assess the efficacy of Interactive Educational Applications, such as Kahoot!, Quizizz, and Jamboard, in enhancing topic comprehension in Araling Panlipunan (AP) 9. It additionally investigated student contentment and the challenges faced during the integration of these technologies. The study utilized a mixed-method approach, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods. The sample consisted of 30 9th-grade students selected through convenience sampling. The results indicated a substantial statistical difference between the pre-test and post-test scores in AP 9 when Interactive Educational Applications were utilized. With 29 degrees of freedom and a significance level of 0.05, the computed t-value of +17.013 was higher than the critical value of +2.0457. Furthermore, the p-value of 0.0000 was below the significance level of 0.05, suggesting a substantial disparity between the two paired samples. The 95% confidence interval, which extends from -8.588 to -6.745, excludes zero. This provides more evidence that the utilization of Interactive Educational Applications greatly improved students' comprehension of Araling Panlipunan 9. An Interactive Educational Applications satisfaction assessment was undertaken through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to gauge student satisfaction. The majority of participants indicated that these applications had a good influence on their ability to master the topic in AP. Nevertheless, children encountered various obstacles throughout the intervention, including inadequate internet connectivity, distractions within their households, and subpar cell phones.

Abstract

The main thrust of this study was to determine factors affecting teachers' readiness in distance education and its effect on the learners’ learning performance. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational approach in determining perceptions of the factors affecting teachers’ readiness for distance education. Moreover, the instrument utilized to gather data was a modified survey questionnaire. It was found that there is a significant relationship between learners’ learning performance and the perceived factors affecting teachers’ readiness for distance learning. Among the factors affecting teachers' readiness for distance learning, only the management of learning greatly influences learners’ learning performance. The researcher recommended that DepEd should boost the teachers’ attitude towards modular distance learning delivery modality by providing the needs of the teachers; school administrators should come- up with adequate training courses, webinars, seminars, and/or workshops should be provided to the teachers considering their teaching-learning needs in the new normal; teachers must be supported and guided to boost their varied teaching styles and weaknesses as they adjust into the new normal and should uplift their attitude more towards distance learning modality since they play a more significant part in its success and parents should also have to take part during this time of crisis, they should provide assistance and support to their child as they have this significant role to fill in as replacements to their teachers.

Abstract

Quail is one of the poultry that has the potential to be developed as a source of diversification for meat and egg products. Bean sprouts have high levels of crude protein and crude fiber, so fermentation is necessary. The amount of ration costs range from 60-80% of all production costs. This study aims to determine the chemical quality of male quail meat given rations containing fermented bean sprout waste and to compare the various levels of bean sprout flour in the ration to the chemical quality of male quail meat. This research was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 4 replications for each treatment. The treatments consisted of rations without the addition of fermented bean sprouts waste flour (TLTF) (P0), rations with 5% TLTF (P1), rations with 10% TLTF (P2), and rations with 15% TLTF (P3). The variables analyzed were water content, ash content, crude fat, and pH. The results of this study indicate that the provision of rations containing fermented bean sprout waste does not affect the quality of male quail meat.

Abstract

The KSM Penebel Berlian Waste Management Center is a non-governmental group with the aim of managing waste from households and from the traditional market of Penebel Village, which is in the form of organic waste and inorganic waste. In a day about 10 cubic feet of waste enters the KSM Penebel Berlian, 60% of which is organic waste. So far, organic waste is processed into compost, but it takes a long time while the waste is sent every day so that there is more and more organic waste and has not had time to be processed. It was also tried to process organic waste into eco-enzymes but failed because the community did not understand how it was made and the process of hardening the eco-enzym until it matured took a minimum of three months. The group wants to cultivate maggots intensively in KSM because the raw materials for maggot feed are adequate, can handle the problem of organic waste faster, odorless and involve group members. Maggot cultivation results will be used as poultry feed and fish feed, aquaculture waste will be used as organic fertilizer. Maggots are very positive to be developed into an alternative solution to the problem of organic waste without causing odors. Maggot larva of the BSF Fly (Black Shoulder Fly) which has the Latin name Hermetia illucens or black soldier fly is a large black fly and is not pathogenic. This cycle takes 40 to 45 days only. Community service activities have been running smoothly. Members of KSM Penebel Berlian have been able to independently produce BSF maggots from vegetable and fruit waste. Thus, the problem of organic waste in Penebel Village is also resolved, does not cause odors, waste does not accumulate, is handled in a shorter time with the concept of zero waste, and produces a product, namely BSF maggots that can be used as fish and poultry feed.

Abstract

Accelerated fermentation of coffee husk waste with the help of a fermenter and molasses solution for a certain time can produce compost which is an organic fertilizer product that provides added value and economic benefits for the community. Compost fertilizer when applied to soil can retain nutrients and water, increase the life of microorganisms in the soil and improve soil fertility and crop yields. This service in Belantih Village is carried out through training, counseling, mentoring, and technology transfer practices. The purpose of PKM is to obtain a composting technology package and strengthen group business management that is optimal and integrated with available natural resources. In this Community Partnership Program activity, the process of making compost based on coffee husk waste was introduced with simple fermentation technology. The community's response was very good to service activities at the Widya Pertiwi Women's Farmer Group. This can be seen from the enthusiasm of the participants or the number of questions submitted to the extension team regarding composting technology and its benefits for agriculture. The resulting compost can be applied to agricultural soils to improve soil physical properties which overall restore soil fertility. Considering the benefits and potential of coffee husk raw materials are very abundant, the prospect of developing organic compost fertilizer is very good in the future. The results obtained from this community service are in the form of a technology package for making compost organic fertilizer based on coffee skin waste and improving management through optimal group institutional strengthening and integration with available natural resources.
