Pesticidal Efficacy of Smoke Vinegar against Rice Bugs
No full textThe study was conducted under greenhouse condition at the Guimaras State College-Baterna Campus, Constancia, San Lorenzo, Guimaras from June to October 2017 to determine the insecticidal efficacy of smoke vinegar against rice bugs. Rice plants were used as culture media for rice bugs. Each of potted rice was enclosed in white fine mesh net where the rice bugs were introduced and cultured. There were four (4) treatments replicated five (5) times arranged in Complete Randomized Design (CRD). Treatments used were the following: Treatment A (0% concentration of smoke vinegar (CSV), Treatment B (10% CSV), Treatment C (20% CSV), Treatment D (30% CSV). Each experimental treatment had ten (10) cultured rice bugs for testing where each rice bug was treated independently. Results showed that the smoke vinegar was effective in controlling rice bugs. Fifty (50%) mortality was observed 10 minutes after the treatment was introduced particularly at the 30% level of concentration. The probability of initiation (Probit) analysis showed that the smoke vinegar has a lethal dose 50 (LD50) at 8.5% concentration within 10 minutes after application. The results further showed that smoke vinegar can be used as alternative organic insecticide against rice bugs. The 10% concentration of smoke vinegar was highly recommended
The Taxonomy of the Four Terminal Examination of Guimaras State College
Full text linkTeaching the students’ cognitive level is the main objective of any assessment. This study aimed to identify the taxonomy of the four terminal examinations with the two-way table of specifications. A descriptive research design was used to determine the taxonomy of the four terminal examinations of teachers.
The sources of data are the teachers’ test questions with the table of specification. These were examined and classified according to the subject area and tallied according to each category of cognitive domain of Bloom’s taxonomy.
Results revealed that the majority of the test question items fell under the knowledge level in the general education subject areas.

Effects of Education Games as Instructional Tools in Teaching College Algebra
Full text linkTime and again, curriculum planners, policy makers and researchers have been exploring the extent thru which numeracy among students develops and improves via Mathematics instruction. The quality of Mathematics education in the country is alarming. Some measures have been exhausted to address this discipline’s status which is attributed to multi-faceted reasons, and causes. Commonly, students in college experience the most difficult phase in learning Mathematics. No matter how difficult a subject is, a competent instructor could make it easy. Believing that everything exists with its own hidden value, educational games do have its greatest value in the field of Mathematics especially in College Algebra. Thus, to help the Math instructors and other stakeholders solve the difficulties that students encounter in College Algebra, the researchers aimed to determine the effectiveness of educational games as instructional tools in teaching College Algebra among bona fide freshman students of Guimaras State College- Mosqueda and Salvador Campuses for the first semester of academic year 2015-2016. This study utilized the thirty (30) – item pretest and posttest multiple- choice questionnaire that undergone validation and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.803). Communications to proper authorities were secured. This study used pretest posttest design between two groups: experimental in Mosqueda Campus, and controlled in Salvador Campus. Each group had thirty (30) subjects taught and facilitated by the same researcher instructor. The experimental group had an intervention of educational games while the controlled group had lecture method. Both groups had been taught for one term with the same time frame and topics. Mean scores were used to determine the performances of two groups while paired samples t-tests were used to determine the differences of their test results. Results were collected, organized, presented, analyzed, and interpreted using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software program. The level of significance was set at 0.05. Results revealed that subjects in the experimental group had higher performance than controlled group based on their pretest and posttest mean scores. Likewise, there were significant differences on their pretest and posttest results. Hence, the null hypotheses were rejected. These results implied that educational games as instructional tools were better than pure lecture method in the teaching-learning process of the 21st century learners. Thus, educational games shall be used in other disciplines or areas, not only in College Algebra, and these shall serve as bases for extension programs for those learners who encounter difficulties in learning Mathematics.

Growth and Sensory Evaluation of Broiler Chicken Fed with Pigeon Pea and Supplemented with Oriental Herbal Nutrients
Full text linkThis study was conducted to determine growth and sensory evaluation of broiler chicken fed with pigeon pea and supplemented with Oriental herbal nutrients. This was a double factor study using Factorial Experiment in Completely Randomized Design (F-CRD).Based on the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), on the final weight of broilers, Factor 1 (representing the levels of pigeon pea) showed significant effect at 5% level of significance and Factor 2 (representing the levels of OHN) showed no significant effect. On the weight gain of broilers, Factor 1 (representing the levels of pigeon pea) showed a highly significant effect and Factor 2 (representing the levels of OHN) showed no significant effect. In terms of feed intake, Factor 1 (representing the levels of pigeon pea) showed significant effect at 1% level of significance and Factor 2 (representing the levels of OHN) showed no significant effect. As to water intake, both Factor 1 (representing the levels of pigeon pea) and Factor 2 (representing the levels of OHN) showed a highly significant effect. While on feed conversion efficiency, both Factor 1 (representing the levels of pigeon pea) and Factor 2 (representing the levels of OHN) showed a highly significant effect. Furthermore, based on the sensory evaluation, the tenderness, taste and the general acceptability are highly significant only in the respondents and not in both factors 1 and 2. Odor was significant only in the respondents while the textures (fresh and cooked) were not significant in both factors 1 and 2 as well as in the respondents. All interaction means show no significant effect to the growth and sensory evaluation. Broilers fed with treatment B (10% pigeon pea) had a significant effect on the final weight. It is highly significant in the weight gain and feed conversion efficiency. However, it is insignificant in the feed and water intake, since the results found that broilers not fed with pigeon pea showed significant effect. On the other hand, broilers supplemented with OHN at 20ml/1L H2O showed a highly significant effect in water intake. Broilers supplemented with treatment Y (15ml OHN in 1L H2O) had showed a highly significant effect in the feed conversion efficiency. Combinations of pigeon pea and Oriental Herbal Nutrients (OHN) have no significant effect in the growth and sensory evaluation of broilers.
