Emotional difficulties and societal influences as predictors of work-from-home productivity among elementary teachers during COVID-19 pandemic
No full textix, 67 pagesThe main purpose of this study was to determine if the emotional difficulties and the societal influences significantly predict the work-from-home productivity of elementary school teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic. The researcher employed the quantitative non-experimental design using causal effect technique with Regression Analysis. The total sample size of the study was 300 elementary school teachers. Respondents were elementary school teachers 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 emotional difficulties is low, while the levels of societal influence and work-from-home productivity are both high. Moreover, it was also found that there is a significant relationship between emotional difficulties and work-from-home productivity among elementary teachers, as well as between societal influences and work-from-home productivity. Furthermore, it was revealed that under emotional difficulties, only anxiety and stress can significantly predict work-from-home while under societal influences, only social desirability can significantly predict work-from-home productivity. Based on the findings, it has been recommended to recognize signs of emotional distress, including feelings of meaninglessness, among students and to provide training to teachers on recognizing and managing anxiety, particularly in situations where they might feel vulnerable or self-conscious.ix, 67 page
Language shift and maintenance of indigenous "Sama" language in Samal Island
No full textThis study aimed to look into the signs and factors affecting language shift and maintenance of the indigenous Sama language among Sama college students who belong to the indigenous Sama community residing on Samal Island. Researchers used a descriptive-qualitative approach to identify and analyze the leading factors that affect language maintenance and language shift. The study focused mainly on assessing the signs of language shift and maintenance, factors affecting language, strategies and practices employed to maintain the Sama language, and the insights where the Sama students share their hopes and desires towards their heritage language. Researchers collected the data through in-depth interviews conducted in face-to-face meetings. The researchers used thematic analysis to analyze the data. The study's findings revealed that the signs of language shift included varied language use across domains, as well as language adaptation. Positive attitudes and early exposure were associated with language maintenance. Language choice, intermarriage, and socioeconomic status are the factors contributing to language shift. Government support, economic activities, and intergenerational language transmission were among the strategies used to preserve the Sama language. This study confirmed the language shift and maintenance theory, the contact theory, and the cultural value theory, which explain the critical factors contributing to a languages decline and survival. This study presents practical implications for the National Commission on Indigenous People, offering recommendations that support language revitalization efforts among Sama communities

Water treatment using nanoporous graphene membrane for irrigation system in Davao City
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Bachelor of Science in Civil EngineeringThis research focuses on the efficiency of using nanoporous graphene membranes in treating water that flows in the irrigation system of Davao City. The very main source of water for irrigation is the rivers classified as D in the DENR Water Classification. However, direct disposal of waste to the river may contaminate the water in the irrigation which may affect livestock farming, crop production, and other agricultural sectors depending on the irrigation. In the worst case, contaminants and toxic chemicals can cause death. To prevent this from worsening, a treatment plant in the inlet of irrigation is proposed to ensure the flowing water is safe. An innovative composition of Nanofilter by combining reduced graphene oxide and polyvinyl alcohol cross-linked using glutaraldehyde. To verify the outcome mixture/solution for reduced graphene oxide in comparison to the ideal rGO based on the previous studies, SEM analysis is performed. After the completion of crosslinking rGO and PVA, the resulting nanofiber which is a Nanofilter will be used to filter water. A raw water sample is collected from the irrigation in Calinan, Davao City. The treatment process takes place. The samples of raw and treated water were secured for quality tests based on the DENR Water Quality Criteria for Irrigation under D classification. The result showed that the raw did not meet the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) level and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) which resulted in 1mg/L and 43mg/L. Only the pH value passed with a result of 7.2. On the contrary, the treated water passed the requirements of DENR Irrigation water quality criteria. The results are 7.0 for pH, 3mg/L for dissolved oxygen and the biochemical oxygen demand is 10mg/L. Based on these results the raw water compared to treated water has significantly improved and met the desired values of DENR parameters in assessing the irrigation water quality. In the end, a design of a water treatment plant situated in the inlet of the irrigation is proposed with a capacity of 3.25 m3 and discharge rate of 0.056 cu.m per second to prevent the contaminants from flowing in the irrigation by integrating Nanoporous Graphene Membrane
Lived experiences of english teachers in teaching literature under new normal
No full textIn Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Education Major in Teaching EnglishIncludes bibliographical referencesThis study deeply examined the lived experiences of English teachers in teaching literature under the new normal education. It aimed to unveil and identify common responses from the participants’ experiences, coping mechanisms, and insights on the aforementioned phenomenon. The participants of the study were Senior High School English teachers who came from both public and private institutions in the province of Davao de Oro who were able to teach literature subjects during the phenomenon irrespective of the major of specialization. This qualitative study used a phenomenological design with seven (7) participants from in-depth interviews and another seven (7) participants from focus group discussions. During the pandemic, English teachers were confronted with different challenges in teaching the subject such as difficulty in instructing literary interpretation, unresponsive students in accomplishing literary tasks, and the inability of the students to contextualize literary interpretation, however, the participants also considered the pandemic period helpful towards the discovery of teaching strategies such as utilization of media in facilitating literary assessment whether it is authentic, collaborative, or written-based activities. The result of the study reveals that physical separation has brought a gap in interaction yet helps broaden the opportunity for English teachers to discover the advantage of technology in reaching out to students amidst the pandemic.420.7ix, 66 page
