Abstract

Contextualization, localization, and indigenization have touched the ground of the dominant cultural character of learners. The teaching and learning process in the K to 12 curricula has integrated its essence. However, in recent ages,s the border-crossing of digital culture among learners was prevalent in their attitudes and learning preferences. Cognitive preferences such as the students’ brain dominance must be considered in the lesson planning as an additional option. With a transformative worldview through an action research design, the study evoked the effects of Mathematics Engagement Clinic (MEC) grounded on brain dominance or the whole brain theory to critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and mathematics achievement. MEC has different effects on the left and right brain dominant participants in terms of their thinking processes such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In particular, left brain dominant participants have a distinct behavioral cognition which the researcher called affirmation behavioral learning. The implication of affirmation behavioral learning to the whole brain theory was a notion that brain dominance groups might have specific behavioral cognition. As for this study, affirmation behavioral learning was evident and observed among left-brain dominant participants. As affirmed by the quantitative results, the enhancement program Mathematics Engagement Clinic (MEC) grounded on the whole brain theory or brain dominance can hone thinking processes such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and thereby, improve mathematics achievement. Despite the abnormality distribution of participants in the study MEC has managed to cater to the participants’ preferences. With the positive effect of the enhancement program, MEC grounded on brain dominance on the thinking processes and mathematics achievement of the participants, the researcher has constructed a modular mathematics enhancement program framework as a guide to researchers, and other interested parties in the planning, designing, redesigning and implementing modular mathematics enhancement programs grounded on brain dominance to hone and enhance thinking processes such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and thereby, improve mathematics achievement.

Abstract

When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in our country, the education sector explored the availability of technologies that might be helpful to ensure the delivery of quality education to learners despite the sudden shift in learning modality, that is, from face-to-face to blended learning. The Sulong Edukalidad, a move of the Department of Education to innovate Philippine Education under COVID-19 provided online training and webinars that prepared Filipino teachers in facing the new normal of the education setting. One of which is the utilization of the e-book Kotobee Readers as an interactive learning tool. E-books are one of the many software programs being developed to enhance teaching in the field of education. E-books are publications that can give students information and instructions in the form of multimedia flexibly and efficiently, thereby supporting and improving learning. In this regard, our team aims to explore the potential of the utilization of the e-book Kotobee reader as an interactive learning tool for developing 8th Grade Mathematical skills during the Covid-19 pandemic, focusing on the average percentage of the participants before and after the utilization of the e-book, their level of performance during the utilization of the said learning material, the challenges encountered by the participants and also identifying the positive traits of Kotobee that helped the students learn. The research design to be used for this research will be a quasi-experimental approach. This research design is intended for an interventional study used to estimate the impact of an interactive–based lesson using the Kotobee e-book on the Grade 8 students in developing their mathematical skills The participants involved in this research are the selected Grade 8 – Rose learners in Mataas na Paaralang Neptali A. Gonzales Our team implemented a series of interventions about topics in Quarter III which the lectures and activities can be found in the said e- book. Students’ usage of the Kotobee e-book app daily was tracked in an Inquiry report. Students’ scores in each activity will be tallied at the end of each quarter for assessment. This will assist us in determining how well the students performed after they have used the Kotobee e-book. A separate learning activity sheet (LAS), validated by the Master Teacher in charge of JHS Mathematics, was administered weekly to be able to validate the performance of the learners for a specific topic taught while using the e-Book. At the end of the Quarter, a post-test was administered to be able to determine the performance of the students. Data collected showed that using the Kotobee e-book, it has affected how well the participants do in Mathematics 8 Quarter III, as shown by the significant difference between the mean percentage scores on the pre-test and the mean percentage scores on the summative test. Students learn while using the Kotobee e-book, based on the results of their weekly assessments and their quarterly test.

Abstract

Student participation has received a lot of attention in recent decades as a result of moves toward student-centeredness, as well as promising research that suggests a link between student engagement and academic success. The researchers wanted to see how computer-generated software/applications influenced the academic performance of senior high school students. The randomized Pretest-Posttest control group design was used in this study. This study included only 40 students in Grade 11. The cover of the lesson depicts science, and the materials used are computers and cellphones, with Appgeyser serving as the application that the lessons were integrated into. The games were sent to students studying science in grade 11-Life Science and installed on their cellphones by the researchers. Giving a Pre-Test before the lesson and a Post-Test after the lesson was one of the strategies used in this study for each class. For groups 1, the lesson was delivered in a modular format using technology such as a cell phone and a computer application. Based on the data gathered, the researchers concluded that students who used mobile games performed better during the post-test than students who used SLMs. The MASIPAG mobile game was also more effective in teaching life science when compared to modular learning. The use of mobile phone games versus the use of SLMs during pandemic education was found to be significantly different in post-test results. The researcher recommended that teachers use a variety of computer applications in their classrooms based on the findings and conclusions of the study. More strategies for engaging teaching-learning situations should be developed.

Abstract

Accelerated fermentation of coffee husk waste with the help of a fermenter and molasses solution for a certain time can produce compost which is an organic fertilizer product that provides added value and economic benefits for the community. Compost fertilizer when applied to soil can retain nutrients and water, increase the life of microorganisms in the soil and improve soil fertility and crop yields. This service in Belantih Village is carried out through training, counseling, mentoring, and technology transfer practices. The purpose of PKM is to obtain a composting technology package and strengthen group business management that is optimal and integrated with available natural resources. In this Community Partnership Program activity, the process of making compost based on coffee husk waste was introduced with simple fermentation technology. The community's response was very good to service activities at the Widya Pertiwi Women's Farmer Group. This can be seen from the enthusiasm of the participants or the number of questions submitted to the extension team regarding composting technology and its benefits for agriculture. The resulting compost can be applied to agricultural soils to improve soil physical properties which overall restore soil fertility. Considering the benefits and potential of coffee husk raw materials are very abundant, the prospect of developing organic compost fertilizer is very good in the future. The results obtained from this community service are in the form of a technology package for making compost organic fertilizer based on coffee skin waste and improving management through optimal group institutional strengthening and integration with available natural resources.

Abstract

Eleusine indica is a grass weed in oil palm plantations, especially during the period of immature crops. The application of glyphosate for weed control shows diverse effectiveness. This study aims to determine the age of susceptible weeds in increasing the effectiveness of glyphosate in controlling E. indica. The study tested the application of glyphosate with three levels (486, 729, and 972 g/ha) at three different weed ages (3, 6, and 9 weeks). E. indica was taken from oil palm plantations that were previously glyphosate-depleted, then sprayed with glyphosate according to the dose studied. Each treatment combination is represented by five pots containing five individual weeds. The results showed that the application of glyphosate aged three and six weeks of higher effectiveness controlled E. indica for doses of 486 and 729 g/ha) than a nine-week application for all doses tested. Regrowth of weeds is found mainly the application of glyphosate at the age of a month of weeks. The development of E. indica's resistance to glyphosate needs attention in oil palm plantations.

Abstract

The Provincial Government of Bali continues to encourage community farmers to form livestock groups, especially cows through the Integrated Agricultural System (“Simantri”) program since 2009/2010 which is now known as the Integrated Agricultural System (Sipadu). In addition to the program, livestock groups are also formed independently by breeders spread across Bali, one of which is the “Bhakti Pertiwi” livestock group in Belimbing Village, Pupuan-Tabanan which was only formed in 2021. Assistance in empowering its resources is the management of raising cattle and strategies for providing the animal feed. The problem faced by groups and group members is the lack of knowledge in livestock management, especially in the provision of animal feed. Farmers do not yet know which feed ingredients (grass and nuts) are good to give to livestock. As an agricultural area for rice fields and plantations, it produces a lot of agricultural waste in the form of rice straw and plantation waste in the form of coffee husks which still have potential as animal feed. Therefore, in this PKM, besides being given counseling on cattle rearing management, training is also given on the use of several types of agricultural waste as animal feed ingredients through the fermentation process. The result of this activity is that there has been a change in the behavior of group members, namely a change in knowledge about the types of feed ingredients that are good for the livestock. In changing the skills of farmers through the direct practice of how to make fermented feed, it is hoped that it can encourage farmers to utilize agricultural waste, especially rice straw as feed ingredients that can be stored. Therefore, the next group assistance activity is to monitor changes in farmers' attitudes towards the material that has been given.
