    Mediation analysis of academic performance between self-efficacy in STEM health studies and basic clinical competence
    Reponte, John Paul A. (Davao del Sur State College, 2025-06)
    This study attempted to investigate the mediating effect of academic performance in additional subjects on the relationship between students’ self-efficacy in the STEM-Health Studies curriculum and basic clinical competence. The study's objectives are to ascertain the levels of self-efficacy, academic performance, and basic clinical competence, as well as to determine the mediating effect of academic performance between self-efficacy and clinical competence. Quantitative correlational (mediation analysis) research design was employed in the study. The research limits the participants to STEM grade 12 students from Cor Jesu College, Inc.; thus, the findings of the study do not generalize to other schools, in public or private. Data were collected through validated survey questionnaires and academic records from the school's registrar. Data were treated using a series of regression analyses to determine their correlation. The study revealed that there is a significant positive correlation among the three variables. A very low positive correlation (Pearson's r = 0.223) exists between self-efficacy and clinical competence. Likewise, self-efficacy has a very low positive correlation (Pearson's r=0.250) to academic performance, and a very low positive correlation between academic performance and clinical competence (Pearson's r=0.181). Using the Sobel test, the findings revealed that academic performance has a positive mediating effect between self-efficacy and clinical competence. The overall results contributed to the understanding of how academic factors influence the development of clinical competence and self-efficacy of the students.

    Assesment on solid waste management practices among elementary schools.
    Balandra, Edisa P. (Davao del Sur State College, 2025-06)
    The study was conducted to determine the Solid Waste Management Practices and Implementation program among the elementary school community in the South District, Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur. A randomized sampling of respondents mainly elementary pupils, teachers, and school administrators, were surveyed. The results indicated that most of the respondents across all groups were female. 64.80% of the pupils were 11 years old, while the teachers were primarily in their late twenties to early thirties with 19%. In contrast, administrators mostly belonged to 50's age brackets with 53.8%. The analysis revealed that the level of awareness of Solid Waste Management in elementary schools’ community has an overall mean of 4.13 which suggests that the respondents are aware of the problem. While the level of implementation of solid waste management was oftentimes manifested with over-all mean of 4.09. It was also found out that there is a significant relationship between and implementation in solid waste management with Pearson r- value of 0.269 indicates a low positive relationship. This suggests that as awareness increases, the level of implementation also tends to increase, but the relationship is not perfectly strong. Therefore, it is important to sustain and enhance awareness programs for solid waste management in the school community. Improved awareness programs can increase levels of environmental responsibility among pupils, teachers, and administrators.
