Moreover, students' productivity levels obtained an overall mean of 3.16, which means students are moderately productive and were affected by instructional communication and students' productivity. Also, the domain that mostly influences the students' productivity is teachers' non-verbal immediacy. It was found that the BSED Mathematics students of Davao del Sur State College experienced an average level of instructional communication which influences students' productivity. Future research may be undertaken covering another set of respondents to determine their level of academic productivity, and can use other variables that were not used in the study.
