Albaracin, Neslyn S. (Davao del Sur State College, 2023-08)
This study aimed to assessed the acceptability level of potato seaweed cookies as a nutritious baked product of Davao del Sur State College. This study sought to determine the acceptability level of potato seaweed cookies in terms of their sensory characteristics namely; palatability, texture, odor, color and appearance. Evaluate the significant difference in the sensory characteristics of potato seaweed cookies among five (5) treatments as well as to identify the significant difference on the acceptability level of potato seaweed cookies among the respondents. 15 students and 10 faculty from Davao del Sur State College (DSSC), and 5 bakers from Matti, Digos City, Davao del Sur served as the study respondents. This study used randomized complete block design (RCBD), in a way that there were five treatments. According to the study findings, treatment 2 was found the most acceptable in terms of its sensory characteristics namely; palatability, texture, odor, color and appearance and it was indicated that there was a significant difference on the level of acceptability of potato seaweed cookies among five treatment as well as there was a significant difference of potato seaweed cookies among the respondents. This indicated that the measurement or the amount of mashed potato, seaweed and other ingredients from the treatment 2 was the most favorable to the respondents. Descriptive statistics, specifically the mean, T-test and Analysis of Varian (ANOVA) were used to analysed the data. The study recommended pursuing Treatment 2, as it was received the highest overall rating from the respondents. The participants shown contentment with the outcome of treatment 2, indicated that it had the potential to be further refined for commercialization.

Development of fishpond automated fish feeder system prototype with GSM notification
Enanoria, Janea Rose L. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024)
Fish farmers rely on agriculture as their primary source of income, so they are looking for ways to produce higher quality of fish. Effective methods can help produce a lot of aquaculture products. The study aimed to develop a fishpond automated fish feeder system prototype with GSM notification for adult tilapia fish, addressing the persistent challenges of inconsistent feeding and insufficient awareness of water conditions. The system successfully monitors the status of water, including pH using the pH sensor and water temperature using the water temperature sensor, it also monitors the feed level in the tank using ultrasonic sensor and the time of feeding using real-time-clock (RTC). The study made it ideal for fish farmers. This reveals that using the prototype greatly enhances the agriculture field's performance, enabling the fish farmers to maintain stable growing conditions and the growth of their tilapia fish, as well as the successful sending of the readings from the sensor through SMS notification. Above all, the implementation of the fishpond automated fish feeder system prototype with GSM notification was successful in providing a convenient way for fish farmers to monitor their fish.

Estimation of potato (Solanum tuberosum) evapotranspiration using blaney-criddle method in Sitio Gagpang, Brgy. Alegre, Bansalan, Davao del Sur
Dico, Joshua Cedrick (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-01)
This research study aimed to estimate potato (Solanum tuberosum) evapotranspiration using the Blaney-Criddle method in Sitio Gagpang, Brgy. Alegre, Bansalan, Davao del Sur. The study collected temperature data from February to April 2022 and computed the reference evapotranspiration (ETo) and crop evapotranspiration (ETc) across different growth stages of the potato crop. Results show that the mean monthly temperature in the study area is suitable for potato planting, falling within the range of 15 to 20 C. The study also found that potato plants require significant water, and the computed ETo values of 5 mm/day, 4.98 mm/day, and 5.1 mm/day were within the range of water requirements for potato cultivation. Furthermore, the ETc of the potato crop varied across its growth stages, with the highest ETc in the reproductive stage. The findings can guide farmers in managing their irrigation practices and maximizing crop yields. Future studies may continue the investigation to the months beyond April or explore other irrigation systems that could be implemented in the study area. Overall, this study provides valuable information on potato crop evapotranspiration rates in Sitio Gagpang, Brgy. Alegre, Bansalan, Davao del Sur, and can aid in improving potato farming practices in the study area.

Lacia, Sherie Mae B. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-02)
Differentiated instruction is an instructional approach that customizes teaching methods, content, and learning activities to address the diverse needs, abilities, and interest of students within the same classroom. The objectives of this research is to determine the relationship between students' perception of the application of differentiated instruction and their academic performance in mathematics at Davao del Sur State College. This research adopts a quantitative non-experimental research design, utilizing a descriptive correlation technique. The findings indicate a significant relationship between students' perceptions of differentiated instruction and the academic performance of students studying Bachelor of Science in Education (BSED) mathematics. However, the correlation analysis reveals a negative correlation coefficient, suggesting a negligible correlation between these two variables. It's worth noting that the students' perception of differentiated instruction in mathematics is rated as high, and their academic performance in mathematics is considered satisfactory.

Casas, Cryslyn Jean D. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-02)
One of the most complex decisions a junior high school student may make is which senior high school career or strand to follow. In choosing their preferred strand, they may be influenced by many factors as well as other reasons. In response, this study aimed to find out students' preferred strands, the factors' influence on the senior high strand preferences, and whether there is significant association between the factors and strands. The study's respondents were determined by employing complete enumeration; 76 students were selected as the study's participants. To measure the impact of the mentioned strand selection factors on the strand preferences of the students, the researchers utilized a descriptive correlational technique for research. A survey questionnaire that had been adopted was used to collect the necessary data. The statistical significance of parents and employment chances was discovered. Two of the five influences were most effective in influencing and predicting students' strand selection determinants. The socioeconomic, academic performance, and peer influence variables were shown to be statistically insignificant. The factor of socioeconomic status, parents, and job opportunities are among those that influence strand selection. It was discovered to have a powerful impact on students' preferred courses. It can be assumed that various determinants for career choice have statistically significant effects on students' senior choosing a career in high school since senior high school preparation is essential after graduating from high school, whether they choose tertiary education, job, or both, the study provides essential guidance on how to lead and develop for kids, parents, and school officials their intended careers.
