    Analysis of the factors to sugarcane production and farmers' planting intentions in the provinces of Davao del Sur, Sarangani and South Cotabato
    Granada, Ijade T. (Davao del Sur State College, 2025-06)
    The study aimed to analyze the factors to sugarcane production and planting intentions of sugarcane farmers in Davao del Sur, Sarangani and South Cotabato. The study utilized a descriptive-quantitative survey research design, administered to the 89 selected medium-large scale sugarcane farmers using sampling technique. The study used statistical tools to analyze and describe the study. The results showed that the sector was largely composed of aging farmers with limited formal education, which may hinder the adoption of modern farming techniques. Farm-related issues such as hilly/rolling terrains and dependence on rainwater heightened vulnerability to climate variability. Economic and social factors highlight farmers' strong influence sugarcane production. Consistently, correlational analysis showed that economic factors had the strongest and appeared most significant to farmers' planting intentions. Multiple regression confirmed economic factors as the sole predictor on farmers' planting intentions. Based on the findings, the Department of Agriculture and State Universities and Colleges should launch youth-targeted agricultural programs in modern sugarcane farming techniques. The government agencies should introduce mechanization suited for hilly/rolling terrains including irrigation projects to reduce reliance on rainwater and provide production support programs and policy efforts in strengthening market prices, minimizing costs and access to affordable credit for the sustainability of sugarcane farming.

    Productive struggle in learning mathematics and problem solving skills of senior high school students
    Ugpay, Jemboy G. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-02)
    This world is cycles of mathematics where living organisms lived and stay. This research study used a complete enumeration research design and the instruments that were used by the researcher in gathering data dealt with the students' productive struggle in learning mathematics. The study was conducted with a total of 54 students from all Grade 11 and Grade 12 students of Marber National High School of STEM-STRAND students in Senior High School Department who are currently enrolled for the academic year 2022-2023. Results revealed that Grade 11 and Grade 12 STEM-STRAND students' level of Productive Struggle in Learning Mathematics is high with an overall mean of 3.68. There is no significant correlation between spatial skills and the problem-based learning approach, learning style and spatial skills, numerical factors and the problem-based learning approach, and learning style and numerical factors. It was found out that the Grade 11 and Grade 12 STEM-STRAND students of Davao del Sur State College possessed a weak level of mathematical ability, intend to choose STEM which is a study track that provides math related courses. The school administrators may provide plans and intervention in the issue of mathematical ability and also provide career guidance to support students on choosing their intended study track.
