Acceptability level of banana (Musa balbisiana) and calamansi (Citrus microcarpa) peels as alternative floorwax
Rosit, Khitterine Fel l. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-03)
The objective of the study was to determine the acceptability-level of Davao del Sur State College’s Banana (Musa balbisiana) peels and Calamansi (Citrus microcarpa) peels as alternative floor wax. It was an invention product that could be further recycled into an item of excellent quality that would be valuable to families in terms of appearance, color, odor, slip-resistance and water-resistance. This research comprises five treatments and will have thirty participants. Demonstration of product innovation and a use of complete randomized design and a survey questionnaire with a predetermined rating scale using a Likert Scale of 1.00 to 5.00 was use to collect the data. The results of a descriptive-comparative research approach and analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that banana (cardava) and calamansi peels was more acceptable and treatment 3 had the highest mean and verbal description of being the most acceptable and ii valued by the respondents. Therefore, Treatment 3 is the best as it most acceptable than the control group in terms of the sensory characteristics conducted appearance, color, odor, slip-resistance and water-resistance. As a result, it may be improved and adapted for commercialization, thereby rendering it more appealing to buyers. Innovations and development of banana and calamansi peels as alternative floor wax are highly encouraged. It was recommended to use proper and accurate textile or fabric of rag in applying this alternative floor wax, and it was suggested, which is considered a major issue for environmental and green ecology, that this waste is dumped in landfills, contributing to pollution problems and environmental issues. Finding solutions to the world, particularly the Philippines, environmental problems as a result, this is the crucial initial step in resolving it.

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.
Exploring idustry 4.0 compentencies for pre-service teachers: An exploratory factor analysis
Sarte, Alberto R., Jr. (Davao del sur State College, 2025-06)
This study looked into what competencies pre-service teachers in Davao del Sur, Philippines, need to effectively respond to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in the classroom. While there has been growing international discussion on 4IR in education, there's still a noticeable gap locally—particularly in the Philippines—where no contextualized framework exists to guide and measure teacher readiness for this evolving landscape. This research aimed to address that gap by identifying the unique set of 4IR-related competencies relevant to Filipino pre-service teachers. Using a quantitative, non-experimental design, the study employed Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to analyze responses from fourth-year education students who were currently in their teaching practicum. Participants came from six teacher education institutions in Davao del Sur. The instrument used in the study was developed through a review of existing literature and was validated by a panel of experts. Results showed a high level of sampling adequacy (KMO = 0.928), and Bartlett's Test confirmed that the data was suitable for factor analysis (p < 0.000). EFA revealed five key factors, which were labeled as: Operational Teaching Readiness in 4IR, 4IR Orientedness, Contextual Relationality, TPACK Grounded, and Instructional Flexibility. These represent various dimensions of readiness—from practical use of digital tools to relational and adaptive teaching strategies. The study suggests that teacher education programs revisit and enhance their curricula to build these core competencies. It also encourages further validation of the instrument through Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in other regions.

Sustaining small non-sectarian high schools: Innovative teaching strategies, resource management, and community involvement
Alsado, Mechel C. (Davao del Sur State College, 2025-06)
This study aimed to find out how innovative teaching methods can be used in small, non-sectarian high schools to improve academic performance and teachers involvement. Traditional teaching methods might not be enough to fulfill the varied demands of teachers in educational environment that is changing quickly. The study looks at methods like project-based learning, integrating educational technology, and differentiated instruction in an effort to find teaching strategies that improve learning while also improving the school's overall sustainability and competitiveness. This qualitative phenomenological study explored the sustainability of small non-sectarian high schools through the integration of innovative teaching strategies, efficient resource management, and active community involvement. Due to their frequent financial and administrative constraints, small non-sectarian high schools must make the most of their resources. This study will investigate how school administrators oversee finances, assign teaching responsibilities, maintain facilities, and fund professional development without sacrificing the standard of instruction. Gaining knowledge of these tactics will help you understand how effective resource management may support long-term school operations. To evaluate how involvement with businesses, local government agencies, parents, alumni, and other stakeholders enhances the schools' support networks and relevance. Additionally, it will look at community connections might result in more resources, volunteer assistance, and better learning opportunities for students.
