Team synergy and workplace agility of teachers
Aragona, Lelaine P. (Davao del Sur State College, 2025-03)
This study was participated by secondary public schools' teachers in the Municipality of Bansalan. The relationship between demographic profile and team synergy of teachers obtained a very weak positive linear relationship, thus there is a significant relationship between the variables. The relationship between demographic profile and work agility of teachers and the relationship between team synergy and workforce agility of teachers has obtained a very positive linear relationship thus there is a significant relationship between the variables. The model was generated using the stepwise method of multiple regression analysis. There was no significant correlation between the level of team synergy and workforce agility of teachers which means that the engagement in school programs and activities can help improve school performance. As a result of negative association, school performance declined even if administrative performance rose, making this outcome feasible. For the most part, team synergy and workforce agility, this study found a negative correlation between the teachers 'demographic profile of the school as a whole. Weak performance in indicators means that the academic performance of the learners must be the prime priority. It was recommended that the school administrators may sustain the excellent school performance by sustaining teachers' support by providing more School Improvement plan (SIP) to have Outstanding rating in the Individual Performance Commitment (IPCR) ratings and may institute a program to support educators' emotional and psychological aspects while maintaining cordial connections with community members by strengthening the programs of the Human Resource Department. The school heads may foster and promote team synergy and workforce learning agility in schools. PTA and BLGU at the school may do their part to boost morale among faculty, parents, and other community members in order to sustainably increase the beneficial effect of student achievement.
Species composition, diversity, abundance, and microhabitat preferences of anuran species in the Miral river, Bansalan, Davao del Sur
Ubat, Drahcir E. (Davao del Sur State College, 2025-05)
A comprehensive anuran survey was conducted across three sites along the Miral River in Bansalan, Davao del Sur—Barangay Managa (upstream), Barangay Tubod (midstream), and Barangay Poblacion Uno (downstream). Using 270 man-hours of cruising and mark-release-technique, the survey documented anuran species, assessed habitat associations, and generated baseline data on Mindanao's amphibian diversity. A total of 104 anuran individuals were recorded, representing six species and four families, with 67% being non-endemics and 33% endemic to the Mindanao faunal region. Limnonectes magnus was noted as nearly threatened. Species diversity was highest upstream (H' = 1.52, S = 6), moderate midstream (H' = 1.05, S = 4), and lowest downstream (H = 0.43, S = 2), but were not statistically significant (p = 0.2193). While species composition varied between sites (p = 0.1875). Most anurans utilized both aquatic and terrestrial microhabitats, indicating microhabitat overlap. This study revealed that Rhinella marina was strongly linked to warmer water, higher pH, and elevated air temperature—conditions typical of downstream habitats. Conversely, upstream habitats, with dense canopy, abundant moss, leaf litter, and minimal disturbance, supported species like Polypedates leucomystax and Kaloula pulchra. Obviously, principal component analysis revealed that elevation was the most influential environmental factor with strong association habitat variables affecting anuran preferences. Endemic species were associated with intact forest areas, though signs of forest clearing for agriculture indicated environmental stress. The dominance of invasive species and the low presence of the near-threatened Limnonectes magnus underscore the urgent need for conservation efforts to protect native amphibians and restore natural habitats in the Miral River ecosystem.

Impact of reading motivation and attitude on the reading comprehension:
Manimog, Pamela A. (Davao del Sur State College, 2025-05)
Reading comprehension is a crucial skill; unfortunately, Filipino students rank low. Various factors contribute to the decline in reading motivation globally, nationally and locally. However, improving reading materials and motivation/attitude can address students' reading challenges. This study sought to determine the relationship among reading motivation, reading attitude, and reading comprehension of the Grade 6 students in the public elementary schools of the Matanao II district. Three research instruments (adopted and contextualized) were used to gather data from the 228 Grade 6 students from different public elementary schools. Using the Mean, Pearson r, and Regression Analysis in analyzing the data, the key findings are as follows: the learners had shown high reading motivation in terms of curiosity, competition and challenge but very high for recognition and involvement. Students have shown a strong reading attitude where all of the indicators, comfort, intellectual value, practical value, and linguistic value were described by the students as high but low in anxiety. With regard to reading comprehension level, students have shown fairly satisfactory levels. A significant relationship was found between reading motivation and reading comprehension of learners. Also, students possess a high reading attitude significantly related to their reading comprehension. Regarding reading motivation, challenge and recognition significantly influenced the students' reading comprehension performance. However, only anxiety as an indicator of reading attitude significantly influences the learners' reading comprehension. Lastly, a researcher-designed reading program should be implemented to capitalize on students' motivation, teachers should be trained to cater to diverse student needs, workshops for professional development should be organized, parental support should be encouraged, and student engagement should be fostered through challenges and discussions. Future research should explore underlying factors and interventions to enhance comprehension skills while leveraging students' motivation and attitude toward reading.
