No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Education Major in Educational ManagementThe main purpose of this study was to determine if the teachers' performance and the delivery of services significantly predict the learning development of Grade VI students in the new normal system. The researcher employed the quantitative non-experimental design using causal effect technique with Regression Analysis. The total sample size of the study was 300 Grade VI students. Respondents were students from selected public elementary schools in Tagum City Division for the school year 2021-2022. Data analysis included Average Weighted Mean, Pearson-r, and Multiple Regression Analysis as statistical tools. The final analysis revealed that the level of teachers' performance is high, while the level of the delivery of services is moderate, and the level of learning development is also high. Moreover, it was also found that there is a significant relationship between teachers’ performance and learning development as well as between delivery of services and learning development among the respondents. Aside from that, it was also revealed that under teachers’ performance, only two indicators – communication and curriculum instruction – can significantly predict learning development. Under delivery of services, both online learning and modular learning can significantly predict learning development among the respondents. Based on the findings, it has been recommended to prioritize the development of effective feedback strategies, to provide clear guidelines, resources, and a support system for students engaging in online courses, and to foster a positive and inclusive classroom environment where all student's contributions are acknowledged and celebrated.371.102x, 67 page

Designing a level III water facility for elevated Barangay Central, Manay, Davao Oriental
No full textUndergraduate thesesWater is indispensable for human survival and crucial for maintaining health
and sustaining life in urban and rural areas. While urban regions have seen
advancements in water supply technology ensuring continuous access to clean water,
rural areas often rely on outdated methods like natural spring collection. This reliance
impedes economic growth and exacerbates the gap between urban and rural regions.
Advocates are addressing this gap by examining water characteristics in Manay,
Davao Oriental, focusing on Barangay Central. The aim is to design and implement a
Level III water distribution system tailored to local needs. Researchers are developing
three system designs, considering economy and efficiency using advanced engineering
applications and region-specific data.
This initiative will produce comprehensive deliverables, including hydraulic
analysis, engineering design, and cost estimates for the selected water distribution
system. By incorporating advanced technologies, the project seeks to provide clean
water access, stimulate socio-economic development, and improve residents' quality of
