Awareness and challenges of students in accessing the college e-library resources: Basis for library e-literacy training
Get PDFAbstract onlyThis study used a descriptive, quantitative approach with 300 randomly selected respondents from a total of 1,197 college students. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using frequency count, percentages, mean, t-test, and ANOVA. Majority of the respondents were females, aged 20 and above, third-year students from the College of Nursing, primarily from urban areas, and used smartphones for accessing college e-library resources. Majority of the students are very aware of the existence of the college e-library resources which are internet access, offline databases, e-books, and e-journals that can be downloaded in any format such as Adobe PDF, Microsoft Reader, e-reader, Kindle, etc. Students are not using the 24/7 Library System (Web-OPAC). Instead, they are using Ebsco host Database to access e-books, e-journals, etc. Results showed that students are highly aware of internet connections, networking connectivity, databases, supporting staff, power backup, software, operating systems, and photocopying machines. However, they are moderately aware of printers, scanners, antivirus, and computers. Awareness levels vary based on sex and grade level; but not age, college, geographical location, or technological device. Sex and year level significantly impact awareness of college e-library resources while age, college, and technological device use do not. They are always connected to the university’s internet. Sometimes, they also face challenges in accessing the college e-library resources. They believe that the staff are knowledgeable and skilled, despite encountering challenges which were similar across categories. Based on the results of the study, a library e-literacy training was proposed to increase students' awareness of electronic library resources.Includes bibliographical referencesMaster in Library and Information Scienc

This study specifically aimed to determine the perceptions of different ingredients, methods, and if s significance in making baye-baye as baye-baye makers and vendors in their town. The qualitative research design was adopted, and purposive sampling was used to select 12 respondents who are baye-baye makers and vendors in Santa Barbara, Pavia and Miag-ao with at least 10 years of experience. The study’s instrument was a semi-structured interview in which participants were asked open-ended questions. The study also utilized Focus Group Discussions in delving into their respective answers. The results showed that the most challenging problems the respondents have faced in business are financial and economic challenges, climate change, and personal reasons. Makers/Vendors have been financially challenged to sustain their businesses as prices have increased. Extreme heat made the products spoil easily thus increasing their prices. Furthermore, it is physically demanding because most vendors are elderly and cannot produce as much baye-baye as they used to. Government intervention has also helped these vendors promote their products. Nevertheless the innovation of products, increased government intervention, and production promotion should be strengthened not just for the baye-baye products and also for other kakanins in the long run around the Iloilo province.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Tourism Managemen

Case study of unregistered agritourism farm: Implication to local economy
Get PDFFull text availableThe rise of interest in connecting with the land, discovering the source of their food, and taking in the attractions of rural environments among the urban and suburban people give the development of agritourism farms. It offers guests the chance to take part in hands-on farming activities like harvesting crops, taking care of animals, and learning about sustainable farming techniques. The town of Alimodian still primarily consists of farmers. Large areas of the town are used for farming and agriculture because the soil is generally fertile. The researcher discovered that two farms, Dong-mer Tillers Trail and Boglosa Vista Farm, are not listed as registered agritourism farms. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors affecting the unregistered agritourism farm. Thus, the study question that the researchers would want to address is “Why some agritourism farms failed to register?". This study uses an interview-based case study methodology as part of a qualitative research design. The study's findings showed that participants were having trouble completing the registration. The costs and the farm's registration procedure are one factor. Therefore, the researchers conclude that there are existing unregistered farms due to the requirements of the municipality that hinder their registration. These requirements not only involve the agencies, but they also have additional requirements as it also depends on the nature of the business. The needed requirements, however, are all necessary, for this is the standard for starting a business. Unregistered businesses are all considered illegal. It also showed that having family support has an impact on their lives since they support each other not just financially but also physically and mentally. Unregistered individuals have the drawback of not being able to receive municipal endorsements.Bachelor of Science in Tourism Managemen
Level of sleep quality and coping among working students in private higher education institution
Get PDFAbstract onlyThis study entitled "Level of sleep quality and coping among Working students in Private Higher Education Institutions" aimed to determine the level and significant relationship between sleep quality and coping among working students enrolled in Private Higher Education Institutions. Sixty (60) participants were selected through snowball sampling using two (2) standardized test named; Sleep Quality Scale (Yi, Shin, & Shin, 2006, cited in PsychTest database Record, 2022, & Enticare, 2022) and the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced Inventory (Brief COPE by Carver, 1989, cited NovoPsych, 2021.) In this study, the quantitative approach using a descriptive-correlation research design was utilized. Furthermore, the research design employed a survey questionnaire and used Spearman's Rho as a statistical tool. Findings of this study state that the majority of working students are female, with the poor-income class being the most prevalent socioeconomic status group. This emphasizes that gender and socioeconomic status play significant roles in the demographics of working students. Next, sleep quality among working students is moderately low overall, but varies by gender and socioeconomic status, with males and those in poor-income class reporting higher quality. Another finding is; coping level is moderately high overall, with minor variations by gender and socioeconomic status, and upper middle-income class showing the highest coping mean. Lastly, significant relationship found between sleep quality and coping among working students, rejecting the null hypothesis. The study concluded that, although the general trend among working students at Private Higher Education Institutions indicates moderately low sleep quality, certain subgroups, specifically males and individuals from poor-income backgrounds, experience moderately high sleep quality. Coping was found to be moderately high across all categories of sex and socioeconomic status, suggesting that these students manage stress and challenges reasonably well. Furthermore, a significant correlation between sleep quality and coping was identified. This indicates that better sleep quality may be associated with coping, or conversely, that effective coping could contribute to improved sleep quality. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to improve sleep quality, particularly for females and students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds. Enhancing sleep quality in these groups could potentially lead to better overall coping abilities, contributing to improved well-being and academic performance.Includes bibliographical referencesBachelor of Science in Psycholog
