A community empowerment development plan fro government-assisted housing projects in the province of Ilocos sur
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2024) Buquing, Donna Michelle T.
The study aimed to create a Five-Year Community Empowerment Development Plan for the homeowners of Government-Assisted Housing Projects in the Province of Ilocos Sur toward inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable human settlements. A descriptive method of research was used in the study. Statistical tools used were frequency counts, percentages , 5-point Likert scale and weighted means. The study focused on the Core Shelter Assistance Project beneficiaries from the Municipalities of Caoayan and Santa and from Vigan City in the Province of Ilocos Sur. Purposive sampling was used to select target respondents. The study showed that homeowners display a moderate level of knowledge on inclusivity, high levels of knowledge in safety and security, and resiliency, and a moderate level of knowledge in sustainability. Their attitudes generally agree on indicators related to inclusivity, safety and security but appear undecided on indicators of resiliency and sustainability. Similarly, their practices are moderate in inclusivity, security and safety, resiliency, and sustainability. The topmost problems encountered by homeowners include accessibility issues for inclusivity, non-issuance of certificates of occupancy for safety and security, economic challenges for resiliency, and hesitation in accessing social protection programs and services for sustainability. The study concludes with recommendations on effectively implementing the five-year community empowerment development plan to engage homeowners in decision-making processes, fostering a sense of ownership, resilience, and collaboration within the community. These steps lead to the empowerment of homeowners in creating livable and sustainable communities.
Active listening and emphatic relationship skills training program for DMMMSU-MLUC junior beed students.
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2006) Palacpac, Therese P.
This study formulated a Training Program on Active Listening and Emphatic Relationship Skills for Junior BEED students of Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, Mid-La Union Campus, City of San Fernando, La Union. Specifically it documented the profile of the Junior BEED, students as to sex , ordinal position as well as their psychological profile which consists of their locus of control, emotional quotient, level of motivation , and level of interpersonal relationship. The study also determined the level of interpersonal relationship. The study also the same students from which a training program on active listening and empathic relationship skills was formulated. The extent of validity of the training program on active listening and empathic relationship skills in terms of content, strategies, functionality and adaptability through the judgment of experts was proven. In order to answer the posited problems, profiling was done by surveying the respondents’ sex, ordinal position and psychological profile. An electronically downloaded 13-item test was used to measure the locus of control of the respondents. A 12-item test was also electronically downloaded to measure the emotional quotient of the respondents. The level of motivation, a 15-item checklist was adopted from the book. Organizational Behavior by Stephen Robbins (1998). The level of interpersonal relationship was measured using an 18-item checklist which was likewise adopted from the same book. An Active Listening Survey adapted from the UNDP-CSC Trainor’s Manual was administered together with the instrument on Perceptual Sensitivity by Justin Lucian (School Counseling, 1974) to measure Active Listening and Empathic Relationship Skills (ALERS) respectively. The respondents were mostly females and most are middle-born children. The respondents are more internal in terms of locus of control. Most of the respondents have high EQ and have high need for achievement. Moreover, most of the respondents emerged to have a high level of active listening and empathic relationship skills. Based on the results of the ALERS Survey, a training program on Active Listening and Empathic Relationship Skills was formulated and was validated in terms of content, strategies, functionality and adoptability through the judgment of experts. The ALERS training program is composed of the following: Day 1: Active Listening, Day 2: Attending Skills, Day 3: Awareness of Nonverbal Behaviors in Helping, Day 4: Perceiving Feelings, Day 5: Facilitative Responding, and Day 6: Post Evaluation. The training is composed of lecturettes and learning experiences which are processed following the principle of “mirroring,” “critic-ing,” and “clinicing.” Based on the findings, the following conclusions are drawn: The psychological profile of the third year BEEd. in terms of locus of control, emotional quotient, level of motivation and level of interpersonal relationship are foundations of trainable teacher education students for the enhancement of their active listening and empathic relationship skills. High active listening and empathic relationship when enhanced to become very high are good tools for better understanding between teacher and pupil that may result to more effective teaching-learning. A training program on active listening and empathic relationship skills (ALERS) for teacher education students considering the qualities of locus of control, emotional quotient, level of motivation and level of interpersonal relationship can enhance the two symbiotic skills that are necessary to broaden the repertoire of learning interventions.

Beyond skills: correlates between spiritual intelligence and job satisfaction for the future human resource development program
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2026-04) Bueno, Jiffrey B.
This study examined the level of spiritual intelligence and job satisfaction, as well as the relationship between the two, among 145 faculty members of the University of Baguio, Philippines. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were gathered through the Spiritual Intelligence Self-Report Inventory (SISRI-24), the short-form Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ), and open-ended responses. The results showed that all four dimensions of spiritual intelligence—Critical Existential Thinking, Personal Meaning Production, Transcendental Awareness, and Conscious State Expansion—were very high, with Personal Meaning Production being the strongest. Job satisfaction was also high in both intrinsic and extrinsic aspects, especially in autonomy, student impact, collegial relationships, and supervisory support. Somers' D analysis showed that all dimensions of spiritual intelligence were positively related to both intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction, with coefficients ranging from 0.145 t0 0.323 (p < 0.05). Based on these results, the study suggested Project SIFaS, a three-part program to improve spiritual intelligence, job satisfaction, and faculty development in private universities in the Philippines.

(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2020) Lucena, Carmen P.
The study determined the bio-physical characteristics and demographic profile of Sumigar Forest Reserve using the methods feel and roll, electrometric, gravimetric, PCQM, survey and interview. The results show that SFR has a very steep slope with highly diverse trees mostly dominated by Lithocarpus submonticola (elmer) rehder, Alnus japonica, and Weinmannia luzoniensis s. vidal. These are conserved through selective cutting, tree planting and “baki”. Mammals and aves also thrive in the area. The study area has a total population of 1,590 with 5-10 family members mostly has no schooling or elementary level attainment. Woodcarving and farming are the main sources of their livelihood. Farmers have 5-10 years farming experience with below 1-hectare agricultural land. SFR is very important to them especially in socio-economic and environmental benefits. However, problems like human encroachment, limited production area, increasing human population, soil erosion and decreasing productivity of the land also happen in the area.

(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2026-04) Solis, Jerico Nimrad C.
This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by public high school coaches in La Union using a descriptive quantitative design involving 101 Department of Education sports coaches. Data were collected through a validated questionnaire assessing coaching challenges and coping strategies, and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Spearman's rank correlation to examine the relationship between variables. Findings revealed that coaches face significant challenges in facilities, resources, pedagogy, and workload, including inadequate equipment, limited budgets, large athlete groups, and balancing teaching and administrative duties. Despite these obstacles, coaches employed adaptive coping strategies such as resource improvisation, time management, professional development, and collaboration with administrators. A strong positive relationship was found between challenges and coping mechanisms, leading to the development of a Coaching Development Program to enhance long-term professional growth for public school coaches.
Challenges encountered by the non-tle teachers in junior high school
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2025-05) Fabito, Dianne L.
This study, which used descriptive research design, determined the profile of non-TLE teachers, and the challenges encountered in teaching TLE. The respondents of the study were the 26 non-TLE major teachers teaching TLE subject in the 8 secondary public schools in the 2 district of La Union. Findings showed that non-TLE teachers in junior high schools are aged 31-40 and held bachelor's degrees with master's units. Their primary specializations were in Science and Mathematics, with most holding the rank of Teacher III. Despite having limited experience and training in TLE, these teachers generally demonstrated competence and employed effective teaching strategies. However, significant challenges were noted, particularly in facilities and equipment, as well as in assessment practices. Serious problems included inadequate training, lack of resources, and excessive workloads. Statistical analysis revealed that higher educational attainment and field of specialization significantly influenced teaching strategies, competencies, and the severity of problems encountered. The study proposed a development plan that includes relevant training, resource provision, and assessment support to enhance teaching effectiveness among non-TLE major teachers.

This research investigated the various obstacles encountered by Paralympic athletes in Pangasinan, Philippines. A descriptive-quantitative methodology was employed to collect data using a checklist and survey questionnaire involving local athletes. The results indicate significant challenges, such as insufficient access to adequate training facilities, lack of government and institutional backing, and social stigma. Challenges and barriers related to motivation, attitudes, and behavior, such as insufficient motivation stemming from a lack of recognition and support, were also noted. Despite these obstacles, athletes show remarkable resilience and a strong sense of community. This research emphasizes the critical need for inclusive sports programs, greater funding, and awareness initiatives to aid in the advancement and well-being of Paralympic athletes in the area. The findings aim to guide policy suggestions and foster equal opportunities for all athletes, no matter their physical capabilities.
Communication resources management training design.
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2006) Casimiro, Jennilyne O.
This study sought to develop a communication resource management (CRM) training design for the local government units (LGUs), particularly for the Province of La Union, based on the analysis and interpretation on the respondents’ perceived degree of CRM capability of the local government units of La Union in terms of manpower, money, materials, machine and methods; the extent of utilization of the communication media used by the LGUs; the perceived level of effectiveness of the service delivery of the CRM along the six (6) sectoral services namely health, education, social welfare, agriculture, environment, and peace and order. It used the descriptive evaluation research design with the questionnaire along with one-on-one interviews with key officials of the LGUs as the primary tools in gathering data relative to the specific problems cited. Documentary analysis was also done to verify the claims of the respondents specifically on the questions on degree of capability of the CRM of the LGUs in terms of the 5Ms. The respondents were 57 LGU officials composed of the vice-mayors, administrators, planning officers, information officers and department heads of the six sectoral services, namely health, social services, education, environment, agriculture, and peace and order; and 100 client- respondents from the lone city of San Fernando and the six (6) 1st to 3rd class municipalities of the Province of La Union comprising of the towns of Agoo, Aringay, Balaoan, Bangar, Bauang, and Naguilian. The two sets of questionnaires intended for the LGU respondents and client respondents were validated by 10 respondents each (for the LGU sector and the client sector) from the province of Ilocos Sur. Reliability test was conducted using Cronbach Alpha which resulted in reliability coefficients of .944 and .857, respectively, both signifying high reliability. Frequencies, percentages, ranks and weighted means including Likert’s rating scale were used for data analysis and interpretation. Findings showed that 1) for the degree of capability of the CRM of the local government units of La Union in terms of the 5M’s (manpower, money, materials, machines and methods), the result was moderate. Some of the LGUs addressed the need for a massive information/communication dissemination of government programs/projects; 2) for the extent of utilization of the communication media used that was based on the LGU’s level of accomplishments versus the targets of the communication activities conducted during the year under review, the grand mean of 2.40 indicates a poor or seldom utilization of the communication media; 3) perceived level of effectiveness of the service delivery of the CRM along the six sectoral services resulted to a 3.39 mean rating resulting to a moderate effectiveness where health program (3.65); social services (3.46); environment programs (3.56); and peace and order (3.54) were very effectively attained while education (2.84) and agriculture (3.28) resulted to a moderate effectiveness; 4) the overall status of the CRM was moderate with a mean rating of 3.02 as a result of the findings of the three (3) above variables which only imply an insufficiency of the input resources (manpower, money, materials, machines and methods) to effectively carry out the LGU goals and objectives; 5) based on the survey conducted, most of the respondents from the LGUs opted for a Development Communication Training, a CRM Training Design that can be proposed for effective communication and information capabilities of the local government; that was validated by five senior staff of the Philippine Information Agency in terms of its usability and functionality. It was concluded that 1) LGUs in La Union generally lacked the necessary communication resources (5Ms) to effectively implement vital communication programs/projects in terms of adequacy of these resources; 2) the use of communication media was not adequately tapped; 3) perceived level of effectiveness of the service delivery of the LGUs CRM along manpower, money, materials, machines and methods was moderate implying a need to strengthen the CRM of LGUs; 4) the status of the present CRM of the LGUs is not sufficient to effectively carry out the LGU goals and objectives; and, 5) a Development Communications Training was designed to enhance and ensure an effective communication and information capabilities of the LGUs in La Union. Based on the findings and conclusions drawn, the researcher recommends that local chief executives should address the need to create their respective information offices with full time information personnel to address the information needs of the municipality and continuously train and retrain the personnel. It is strongly recommended for the chief executives to adopt the proposed validated CRM Training Design and tapped Information Officer’s expertise of the Philippine Information Agency as resource speakers.

(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2007) Runas, Viena Lyn A.
The study aimed to develop a Three-Year Action Plan in Computer vEducation I for public secondary schools of La Union, School Year 2006-2007. Specifically, this study determined the following: profile of teachers in Computer Education I in terms of their age, sex, civil status, highest educational attainment, major and minor fields of specialization, number of years teaching computer education and trainings attended related to computer education for the last two years; profile of students enrolled in Computer Education in terms of ownership of computer, software/programs used, extent of exposure to Internet services such as chat, digital research, games and e-mail; profile of the schools in terms of the extent of adequacy of know are/ peopleware, software and hardware; level of attainment of objectives of computer education based on the Philippine Secondary Schools Learning Competencies (PSSLC), extent of utilization of teaching strategies/methodologies; and capabilities and constraints of computer education in selected public secondary schools of La Union. The descriptive research was employed using the questionnaire as the main data gathering tool. The respondents of this study were the 30 Computer teachers from the nine selected national high schools in the Division of La Union and 345 students in fourth year who finished Computer Education I during their third year. Descriptive statistics was used in the analysis and interpretation of the data. Statistical tools used were frequency counts, percentages and mean. The results of the study showed that 50% of the teacher respondents were within the age bracket of 36-40; 73.30% were female and married, 56.70% were BS with MA/MS units while 10% with units in Ph. D. /Ed. D, 70% of the teachers taught computer subject for 1-3 years and 93.30% had attended the division level. As to students profile, 30.5% owned a computer while 69.57% did not. Most of the students used MS Word and MS Excel and chat has the highest extent of exposure among the IT services. The extent of adequacy of know are/peopleware was moderate. The ratio of teacher to student was 1:65; ratio of computer to student was 1:11 and teacher to computer was 1:6. The level of attainment of the objectives of Computer Education I in selected public secondary schools of La Union based on the Philippine Secondary Schools Learning Competencies (PSSLC) was moderate. The extent of utilization of teaching strategies/methodologies was moderate. The capabilities were on the adequacy of monitors, scanners, floppy diskette and compact disc (CD); on the other hand, constraints were on the adequacy of know are/peopleware, software and computer peripherals; the level of attainment of objectives in computer education and the extent of utilization of teaching strategies. A Three-Year Action Plan in Computer Education I was proposed for the public secondary schools in La Union. Based on the findings, the following conclusions were deduced: The profile of Computer Education I teachers contribute in facilitating knowledge and skills in computer. Majority of the students who own computers can learn better the skills. Know are and software are very much wanting. Computer Education I in public secondary schools is implemented in spite of the dire need for more hardware and more skillful know are. Computer teachers in the selected public secondary schools used varied teaching strategies/methodologies in teaching, thus, the teaching-learning situation in Computer Education is effective. Capabilities for Computer Education are assets in teaching-learning but may still regress considering the many constraints. The proposed Three-Year Action Plan in Computer Education I may improve the teaching-learning environment of the said subject.
Correlates of DMMMSU fiscal management
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2006) Aganon, Leonila P.
This study determined the level of attainment of the objectives of the DMMMSU fiscal management. The finance heads and staff, and the administrators which included the chancellors, deans, directors, chairmen and other unit heads of the three (3) campuses of DMMMSU namely: North La Union Campus (NLUC), Mid La Union Campus (MLUC) and South La Union Campus (SLUC) served as respondents to answer the following research questions: 1. What is the profile of the employees in finance division of DMMMSU as to sex, civil status, age, highest educational attainment, civil service eligibility, licensure examination, length of service, and locus of control 2. What is the level of job satisfaction of the employees in the finance division in terms of: a). motivational factors: recognition, professional growth, achievement, work itself, and responsibility, and b) maintenance factors: interpersonal relationship, job security, working conditions, supervision, and compensation? 2.1 Is there no significant difference between the perception of the respondents by campus and by group? 3. What is the level of efficiency of resources in the finance division of DMMMSU in terms of manpower, materials, money, and methods? 3.1. Is there no significant difference between the perception of respondents by campus and by group?4. What is the level of attainment of the objectives of DMMMSU fiscal management in the areas of resource allocation, and accountability? 4.1. Is there no significant difference between the perception of respondents by campus and by group? 5. Are there no significant relationships between the level of attainment of DMMMSU fiscal management and the level of job satisfaction; and level of efficiency of manpower, materials, money and methods? For the analysis of the data gathered, means was used. The PearsonProduct Moment Correlation was used to determine the relationship between the input and output variables as perceived by the respondents. Test of significance was done at .05 level of confidence. For comparison of perceptions, analysis of variance was used with the Scheffe test for post comparison. The twenty-eight (28) respondents from the finance division from the three (3) campuses of DMMMSU have varying sex, civil status, age, highest educational attainment, licensure examination passed, civil service eligibility and length of service. The locus of control of the employees was rated high with a mean rating of 3.98. Hence, the hypothesis is accepted. The level of job satisfaction of the employees in finance division of DMMMSU as to motivational factors is 3.82 equivalent to very satisfied descriptive rating. As to maintenance factors, it had an over all mean of 3.83 equivalent to very satisfied. By campus, the perception of the respondents on the level of job satisfaction was not significantly different with P-value of 0.136. However, there was significant difference in the perception of respondents by groups with P-value of 4.48E-07. This was brought about by the higher rating given by the administrators at 4.429 compared to those of the finance group with a rating of 3.817. Hence, the null hypothesis is not accepted by groups but accepted as per campus. The level of efficiency of resources in the finance division is very efficient with an over all mean of 3.90. By campus, there was no significant difference between the perceptions of the respondents with P-value of 0.750. Likewise, there was no significant difference in the perceptions of the respondents by group with P-value of 0.531. Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted. The level of attainment of the objectives of DMMMSU fiscal management registered “very highly attained” rating at 4.21. By campus, there was no significant difference in the perceptions of the respondents with P-value of 0.539. Likewise, there was no significant difference between the perceptions of the respondents by groups with P-value of 0.069. Hence, the null hypothesis is accepted by campus and accepted by groups. As a whole, the level of attainment of the objectives of fiscal management and level of job satisfaction are not significantly related, therefore the null hypothesis is accepted. On the other hand, the level of efficiency of resources is significantly correlated to the attainment of objectives of fiscal management with r value of .571 and therefore the null hypothesis is not accepted. The study concludes that the high level of attainment of the objectives of the DMMMSU fiscal management had greatly contributed to successful implementation of the various programs, projects and activities of the three (3) campuses of the university on account of the high level of job satisfaction of the finance employees and the very efficient management of its resources.

Development of a training program for competitive swimming
(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University - South La Union Campus, 2026-04) Artime, Denver C.
This study aimed to assess swimmers’ performance in terms of basic skills, speed, endurance, stroke efficiency, and consistency; identify the challenges encountered during training and competition; examine the relationship between swimmers' profiles and performance; and develop a sustainable training program for swimmers. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed involving 61 competitive swimmers from Ilocos Sur and 20 expert validators. Data were gathered using validated questionnaires and performance measures, and analyzed using percentages, medians, and Somers' test. Results showed that most respondents were early-adolescent swimmers with limited competitive experience and normal BMI. Swimmers generally remained at the developmental level, with underdeveloped basic skills and emerging stroke efficiency, while freestyle demonstrated relatively better performance compared to other strokes. Facilities and equipment were perceived as adequate, but administrative support and training structure were only moderate. Performance was primarily influenced by stroke-specific skills, competitive exposure, and sex. Based on the findings, a proposed swimming training program was developed to support long-term athlete development.
