Data-Driven Decision Support System for Sustainable Fishpong Management Using IOT and Machine Learning for Algae Bloom Prediction
type: item
description: Traditional aquaculture management frequently relies on manual water quality monitoring, which often fails to detect the rapid environmental shifts preceding harmful algal blooms (HABs). This reactive approach exposes fishpond operations to significant biological risks and financial instability. The primary goal of this research was to design and evaluate a Data-Driven Decision Support System (D3S) that integrates Internet of Things (IoT) sensors with machine learning (ML) algorithms for real-time monitoring and proactive algae bloom prediction. Utilizing a developmental research design and the Input–Process–Output–Outcome (IPOO) framework, an IoT sensor array was deployed at a commercial fishpond in Zamboanga del Sur. The system collected high-frequency data on temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, turbidity, and total dissolved solids. These data informed an ensemble of predictive models, including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and Linear Regression, to forecast chlorophyll-a concentrations. The D3S achieved a system uptime of 99.7% and a data transmission success rate of 97.9%. Predictive analysis provided an average lead time of 4.2 hours for HAB alerts. Under the stable environmental conditions of the test site, the Linear Regression model demonstrated exceptional performance with an R² value of 0.999. User Acceptance Testing yielded mean ratings between 3.4 and 4.0, indicating high stakeholder approval. The integration of IoT and ML effectively transitions aquaculture management from a reactive to a proactive state. By providing reliable foresight, the D3S facilitates a 20% reduction in fish mortality and enhances overall pond productivity.

title: Perceived Caring Attributes of Student Nurses and Satisfaction to Quality of Care Among Adults in the Medical – Surgical Units of Selected Tertiary Hospitals in Metro Cebu: Proposed Enhanced RLE Clinical Caring Practice Guidelines
description: Nursing education plays a fundamental role in developing and strengthening nurses’ caring attributes, beginning during their formative years and continuing throughout professional practice. This study examined the relationship between nursing students perceived caring attributes and patient satisfaction with the quality of nursing care in medical-surgical units of selected tertiary hospitals in Metro Cebu. It aimed to provide a basis for enhancing the Related Learning Experience (RLE) Clinical Caring Practice Guidelines. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design involving 685 Level 3 and Level 4 nursing students from five Colleges of Nursing and their corresponding adult patients. Data were gathered using a researcher-developed instrument based on Sister Simone Roach’s six caring attributes, together with a modified Patient Satisfaction with Nursing Care Quality Questionnaire (PSNCQQ). Face-to-face survey interviews were conducted to collect the data, which were subsequently analyzed using appropriate statistical techniques to examine the relationships among the study variables. Results showed that most student respondents were females aged 21–24, while most patient respondents were females aged 40–50. Nursing students rated themselves highly across all six caring attributes, particularly in demonstrating courtesy, respect, and moral responsibility. Patients likewise reported high levels of satisfaction, especially appreciating the kindness, respect, and attentiveness of student nurses. Positive perceptions of care were consistent across patient demographics. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation between all six caring attributes and patient satisfaction, confirming the influence of caring behaviors on perceived care quality. The study concludes that nursing students’ caring attributes significantly contribute to patient satisfaction. Findings support the adoption of the proposed Enhanced RLE Clinical Caring Practice Guideline…

Instructional Leadership-Based Framework for Teacher-Administrator Collaboration at Kiettisack International School
type: item
description: This study investigates how instructional leadership practices influence teacher-administrator collaboration at Kiettisack International School (KIS), a multicultural international school in Vientiane, Laos. Guided by Distributed Leadership Theory, the research employs a qualitative single-case study design to explore how leadership is enacted, shared, and experienced within the school’s secondary department. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with administrators and foreign teachers, supported by document analysis. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns related to leadership practices, collaboration, and organizational context. Findings reveal that KIS demonstrates a strong commitment to student-centered learning, supported by collaborative planning, data-driven instruction, and emerging professional learning communities. Teachers are actively involved in curriculum discussions and instructional activities; however, the depth and consistency of collaboration vary across departments. Instructional leadership remains partially distributed, with administrators retaining control over major decisions while teachers participate primarily in advisory and operational roles. Challenges identified include limited role clarity, inconsistent feedback practices, time constraints, and varying levels of teacher influence in decision-making. Based on these findings, the study proposes the C.A.R.E. Instructional Leadership Framework, which emphasizes Communication, Alignment, Roles, and Empowerment as key dimensions for strengthening collaborative leadership. The framework promotes inclusive, participatory practices that enhance teacher engagement, improve instructional coherence, and support sustainable school improvement. The study contributes to the limited body of qualitative research on instructional leadership in international school contexts and offers practical insights for educators and policymakers seeking to foster collaborative, context-resp…

title: Classroom Management Practices of Teachers and Their Effects on the Academic Performance and Learning Behavior of Pupils in Public Schools in Rodriguez, Rizal, Philippines: Basis for a Conceptual Model
description: Classroom management is a cornerstone of effective teaching, shaping the learning environment and influencing pupils’ academic performance and behavior. In the Philippine public school context, teachers face challenges such as overcrowded classrooms, diverse learner needs, and limited resources. This study examined the classroom management practices of teachers in Rodriguez, Rizal, and their effects on pupils’ academic performance and learning behavior, with the goal of crafting a conceptual model for improvement. Employing descriptive-evaluative, comparative, and correlational designs, the study surveyed 661 public elementary school teachers from Grades 1 to 6. Data were collected through validated questionnaires and analyzed using statistical tools, including Pearson correlation, at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed significant differences in classroom management practices and pupils’ learning behaviors when grouped according to teacher profile variables. A moderate but significant relationship was found between classroom management practices and academic performance (r = 0.637, p < 0.05), as well as between classroom management practices and learning behaviors. Academic performance and learning behaviors were also significantly correlated (r = 0.537, p < 0.05). Effective classroom management practices positively influence pupils’ academic performance and learning behaviors. Teachers are encouraged to adopt systematic routines, clear rules, and structured environments to minimize disruptions, maximize instructional time, and foster engagement. The study recommends a conceptual model to guide teachers in enhancing classroom management and improving learner outcomes.

type: item
description: Tourism has become a growing opportunity for local communities to improve livelihood, support small businesses, and promote development. In Lagayan, Abra, assessing the current status of tourism is necessary to determine its economic contributions and workforce development challenges. This study assessed the economic impact of tourism and the workforce development challenges in Lagayan, Abra for 2025–2026. The study used purposive sampling among 250 respondents. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, and chi-square. Findings revealed that most respondents were aged 35–44, male, high school graduates, seasonal workers, and had six years or more of tourism-related service. Tourism contributed to a very high extent in community livelihood and empowerment, revenue generation, and infrastructure and development, while economic inclusivity was rated high. Workforce development challenges were high in job quality and opportunities, access and support systems, and skills and education gaps, while policy and community engagement was rated moderate. Chi-square results showed significant relationships between tourism’s economic contributions and age, employment status, and years in service, while sex and highest educational attainment showed no significant relationship. Tourism is an important contributor to the economic development of Lagayan, Abra. However, its benefits are not yet fully distributed across all sectors, and workforce-related issues continue to affect tourism growth. Thus, the study recommends the adoption of a Tourism Operations Manual to strengthen inclusive participation, workforce development, operational standards, and sustainable tourism management in the municipality.

Tourism Promotion Programs in Lagayan. Abra: Basis for a Tourism Intervention Plan
type: item
description: Tourism is a major contributor to economic growth and community development; however, despite Lagayan, Abra’s rich natural attractions, its tourism sector remains underdeveloped due to limited promotion, inadequate infrastructure, and insufficient tourism services. This study aims to assess the level of satisfaction among respondents on the attractions, services, and facilities in the tourist destination, and the tourism promotion programs in Lagayan, Abra, as to craft a tourism intervention plan. A descriptive research design was utilized, involving 250 respondents composed of 150 tourists, 70 residents, and 30 tourist guides. Data were collected from December 2025 to January 2026 using a survey questionnaire. The instrument was adapted from the works of Matt (2009), Bamboa (2013), Padua (2019), Orduna and Arcilla (2020), Cruz (2021), the UNWTO (2021), the Department of Tourism (2022), and the ASEAN Secretariat (2015), with necessary modifications to suit the study context. Reliability testing yielded a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.84, indicating good internal consistency. Findings reveal that most respondents are young, single, and low-income individuals, indicating a market largely composed of budget conscious and adventure-oriented tourists. Overall, respondents express a high level of satisfaction, particularly on accessibility, uniqueness, and visual appeals of attractions, while moderate satisfaction is observed in entertainment and facility-related aspects. The implementation of tourism promotion program is generally perceived as high, though certain areas such as digital promotion, transportation, and service facilities require improvement. Moreover, the LGU face moderate to high serious challenges, particularly in infrastructure, limited funding, and insufficient promotional strategies. Significant relationships are found between selected demographic variable and satisfaction levels, highlighting the influence of tourist profile on tourism experience.…

Tax Compliance in Abra: Basis for Operations Strategy
type: item
description: The study sought to analyze the compliance practices of microenterprises and small businesses in the province of Abra and determine how such practices may inform and guide the operational strategies of the BIR. This study followed a method of quantitative and utilized a descriptive- correlational research design. The 152 microenterprises and small business owners registered taxpayers in Bucay, Abra served as the respondents of this study for calendar year 2025 – 2026. The questionnaire consisted of four parts: the profile of the respondents, tax compliance indicators covering filing, payment, accuracy and truthful reporting, recordkeeping and documentation, and responsiveness to notices and audit request, degree of seriousness of the challenges covering filing, payment, accuracy and truthful reporting, recordkeeping and documentation, and responsiveness to notices and audit request, and open-ended questions on challenges and suggestions to improve the BIR tax compliance and services. Each close-ended item was rated on a four-point Likert frequency scale, with higher scores indicating greater compliance or stronger agreement with BIR initiatives. The level of compliance of taxpayers was “very high” in terms of filing, payment, accuracy of reporting and responsiveness to notices and “high compliance” in recordkeeping and documentation. These challenges indicated a need for clearer and simplification of guidelines, improved taxpayer education, and enhanced support mechanisms to facilitate compliance. The result suggested that compliance is more strongly influenced by educational attainment and financial capacity rather than basic demographic characteristics or business type. Both year of operation and nature of business showed no statistically significant differences across all compliance dimensions. In contrast, annual gross sales revealed significant differences in several compliance areas, particularly in accuracy and truthfulness, recordkeeping and documentation, r…

Administrative Workload and Work-Related Stress Among Teachers
type: item
description: This study assessed the extent of administrative workload and work-related stress among teachers in the Luba District, focusing on the level of stress experienced in terms of administrative demands, working environment, and professional distress. A quantitative method, particularly a descriptive-correlational research design, was utilized, involving a total of 72 respondents. The needed data were gathered through survey questionnaire. The instrument was adopted from Pamunag and Mosquera (2025 and Señal and Abellana (2025). The data on the extent of teachers' administrative workload and work-related stress were analyzed using weighted means, while Pearson's r was used to test the relationship between the variables. The study found that in Luba District teachers have a very high extent administrative workload. This has become an integral yet demanding component of their professional responsibilities. They are heavily engaged in administrative loads, which contribute to their professional growth and involvement; however, these also significantly increase the volume and complexity of teachers’ workload. Teachers experience a low level of stress in terms of their work environment. Their school provides a supportive, organized, and collegial atmosphere. However, they are highly stressed in terms of administrative demands and professional distress since they are engaged in paperwork and compliance requirements, with insufficient administrative support. Also, teachers experienced emotional and physical exhaustion, as administrative tasks affect a positive work environment. Results also show a low positive relationship between administrative workload and stress, indicating a weak but direct influence of workload on teachers’ stress levels. To help teachers manage their administrative workload and stress, a Workload Balance and Stress Management Strategies for Teachers in Luba District was conceptualized.

AI-IOT Enabled Soil and Weather Monitoring System for Smart Agricultural Decision Support
type: item
description: Background: The agricultural sector increasingly adopts digital technologies to combat environmental volatility, yet conventional smallholder farming still relies heavily on intuition and experience-based decision-making. Existing systems frequently monitor soil or weather parameters in isolation, creating fragmented insights that lead to inefficient resource utilization. This study aimed to design, develop, implement, and validate an integrated AI-IoT Enabled Soil and Weather Monitoring System to provide real-time, predictive decision support for optimized farm management. Using a developmental-descriptive research design and Agile Scrum methodology, a functional telemetry prototype was engineered using an ESP32 microcontroller connected to an industrial 7-in-1 soil probe, a three-cup anemometer, a light sensor, and a rain detector. The hardware was integrated with a FastAPI cloud backend, a PostgreSQL database, and machine learning models trained via Scikit-Learn. Pilot testing and user acceptability evaluations were conducted with 36 purposively sampled farmers and agricultural technicians. Standard machine learning regression metrics revealed that the system achieved an accuracy rate exceeding 99% for irrigation prediction and approximately 98% for disease-risk classification. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) linear regression for crop growth modeling demonstrated high statistical significance (P < 0.001, R² = 0.994). Empirical data from 36 evaluation respondents demonstrated strong performance across all technical indicators, with data update latency scoring the highest mean value of 4.50. The system successfully bridges the gap between raw data acquisition and low-cognitive-load operational directives, offering a highly reliable, energy-efficient, and cost-effective precision agriculture framework that enhances smallholder confidence and resource optimization.

type: item
description: This study aimed to determine the teachers’ knowledge in mitigating suicide and the attitudes toward suicide of the Public Secondary School teachers of General Mamerto Natividad District, Division of Nueva Ecija during the school year 2024-2025.The study utilized descriptive-correlational research design utilizing a researcher-made instrument on socio-demographic profile and two (2) adapted instruments namely Literacy of Suicide Scale (LOSS) and Stigma of Suicide Scale (SOSS). The data gathered were tabulated and analyzed using Spearman’s Rho to determine the strength and direction of association between variables. Results revealed that teachers possess a level of understanding about suicide mitigation that goes beyond foundational knowledge but lack comprehensive and detailed understanding of the matter. Female teachers showed higher level of knowledge on suicide mitigation compered to their counterparts. Teachers, especially those who are older, who are holding higher positions, and who spent more years in teaching, demonstrate a high degree of social stigma directed towards suicide which denotes that they hold strong negative and discriminatory attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors toward individuals who died by suicide as well as towards the topic of suicide itself. Hence, the Intervention Plan is proposed based on the result of the respondents’ evaluation. The intervention plan can be useful to improve the teachers’ knowledge in mitigating suicide and to lessen the stigma towards suicide, thus it is recommended by the researcher to use the intervention plan by teachers and school administrators as it will lead to enhanced and improved Guidance Services in school. The proposed intervention plan is further recommended to be adapted by the public secondary schools in General Mamerto Natividad to guide the school’s Guidance Designate in conducting mental health activities in their respective schools.

Development And Acceptability Of Cookie Added With Shitake Mushroom (Lentinula Edodes)
type: item
description: Shiitake mushrooms (Lentinula edodes) are nutrient-rich fungi, valued for their vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, yet their use in functional bakery products remained limited. This study developed and evaluated cookies enriched with shiitake mushroom powder as a health-oriented, functional snack. The objectives were to determine sensory and consumer acceptability, assess proximate composition, and compare overall acceptability with traditional cookies. An experimental research design was employed. Three treatments with varying mushroom powder content and a control were prepared following a systematic procedure: cleaning, chopping, sautéing, cooling, powdering, sifting mushrooms, mixing ingredients, resting, rolling, cutting, baking, cooling, packaging, labeling, and storing. Sensory evaluation was conducted by ten semi-trained experts and forty randomly selected consumers using a Nine-Point Hedonic Scale, and data were analyzed using weighted mean and ANOVA. Moisture and ash contents were measured to determine product stability and mineral composition. Treatment 2, containing 15g of mushroom powder, consistently received the highest ratings: color (8.04), aroma (8.00), taste (8.02), texture (7.98), and overall acceptability (8.08). Proximate analysis showed moisture content of 5.02% and ash content of 1.68%, indicating stability and mineral adequacy. ANOVA revealed significant differences between shiitake mushroom cookies and the control (F = 33.64, p < 0.05), confirming enhanced sensory and nutritional qualities. Treatment 2 demonstrated superior acceptability, stability, and potential as a functional food. Recommendations included adopting Treatment 2 for commercial production, exploring shelf-life stability, marketing as a health-oriented snack, optimizing mushroom concentration, and implementing continuous sensory testing to ensure quality.

Utilization Of Sweet Potato (Ipomoea Batatas) Into Buns Filling: It’s Acceptability
type: item
description: Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), a nutrient-dense and widely available crop in the Philippines, presents potential for improving the nutritional value and local relevance of bakery products. This study explored its use as a bun filling to address limited commercial utilization while promoting consumer acceptability, safety, and support for local agriculture. A descriptive research design was conducted at Cagayan State University–Carig Campus using four bun formulations with varying sweet potato content. Sensory evaluation of appearance, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability was performed by 15 expert panelists and 35 student consumers using a 9-point hedonic scale. The most preferred treatment underwent microbial analysis at the Department of Agriculture. Data were analyzed using weighted means, percentages, ANOVA, and t-tests. Treatment 3, containing the highest proportion of sweet potato, received the highest sensory ratings: appearance (7.92), aroma (8.02), taste (7.88), texture (7.72), and general acceptability (8.02). Microbial analysis confirmed safe levels of bacterial counts with no presence of Salmonella. Significant differences (p < 0.001) were found between Treatment 3 and the control sample, indicating that sweet potato notably enhanced sensory quality. Findings demonstrate that sweet potato is a safe and effective filling ingredient that improves bun acceptability while supporting local crop utilization. The study recommends adopting a 75% sweet potato filling formulation, conducting nutritional and shelf-life analyses, expanding consumer testing, and exploring its application in other bakery products.
