Item A review on the intensive, highly competitive and invasive nature of Picea: A basis for natural forest management of Picea for global ecological sustainability(DMMMSU, 2023-12-01) Aban, Jomar L.; Fajardo, Weenalei T.; Omokaro, Godspower OkeSpecies diversity and biogeography is basically affected by site history. To provide an insightful basis in understanding the current distribution of Picea, paleoecological and historical assessment must be undertaken. In this study, the current schematic distribution of Picea is re-evaluated using secondhand resources as baseline information in assessing their dispersal and colonization as affected by their strategic tolerance and resilient features making them one of those globally distributed species. Thirty refereed journals were used in this descriptive-type of meta analysis to scrutinize the intensive life processes, highly competitive nature and invasive capacity of Picea to out-compete co-occurring species until the present day. Implications of this study can be used for conservation strategies more specifically in natural forest management plans to ensure that we go beyond saving and start promoting Picea species for sustainability most especially because this species is of great ecological and economic importance.Item Multifaceted Teaching Pedagogies of Elementary Education Instructors in the Philippines: A Locus Classicus KAP (Knowledge-Attitudes-Practices) Approach(DMMMSU, 2022-12-01) Aban, Jomar L.In the present technological age, concerned stakeholders should innovate pedagogical approaches to achieve authentic learning. Four commonly used teaching pedagogies are presented in this study: lecture method, cooperative learning, inquiry-based learning, and learning with emphasis on communication skills. The level of awareness, attitudes and utilization of these four common teaching pedagogies by Bachelor in Elementary Education (BEEd) faculty members were explored using an educational-descriptive-quantitative approach. Results show that respondents are highly aware of inquiry-based learning but are only moderately aware of lecture method, cooperative learning and learning with emphasis on communication skills. The faculty respondents have the most positive attitude on cooperative learning compared to the other three pedagogies. Contrary, the utilization of the four pedagogies in teaching are comparable. Although lecture method is the least preferred method, it is still commonly used because of its practicability in terms of class size, and convenience to the teacher. The other three pedagogies are also considered and moderately practiced. The proposed synergistic pedagogical model is formulated to intertwine the captured awareness, attitudes and practices of the BEEd faculty members on the four commonly used teaching pedagogies.
