Item 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.Item 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.Item Assessment and thematic analysis of activities of the schools division of Benguet based on clustering algorithm(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University – Mid La Union Campus, 2024-04) Frondarina, Gary Basilio.; Cadaoas, Genevieve C.; Ledda, Mark Kristian C.; Sapuay-Guillen, Sheena I.Evaluation is a critical tool in systematically assessing the effectiveness, efficiency, and output of various projects, programs, and activities.

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.Item 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.Item Computer education I in selected public secondary schools of La Union: Basis for a three-year action plan.(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.Item 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.Item Counterfeit Philippine Currency in the City of San Fernando, La Union(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2010) Hermosura, Melody P.The study assessed the counterfeit currency in San Fernando City.

(2023). Growth and Yield of Four Vegetable Soybean Varieties (Edamame) as Influenced by Different Fertilization Schemes under Ilocos Region Conditions. Master of Science in Agronomy. Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University, North La Union Campus, College of Graduate Studies, Bacnotan, La Union. Adviser: Analyn V. Sagun, Ph.D. The production of vegetable soybean is an important aspect of agriculture in addressing malnutrition and potential solution against poverty and hunger. This study was conducted to (1) determine the performance of four varieties of vegetable soybean (V1: PSB Sy 02 (Tiwala 6), V2: Select Tudela Black, V3: Select Manchuria, V4: NSIC Sy 12 (Tiwala 14); (2) to find out the influence of varying fertilization scheme ( F1: Organic fertilizer, F2: Organic fertilizer + Inorganic fertilizer (T14), F3: Organic fertilizer + Gypsum) (3) their interaction effects and (4) to assess the cost and return analysis of vegetable soybean production. Results of the study showed that the growth and yield of four varieties of soybean vegetable performed differently in all the parameters tested. PSB Sy 02 (Tiwala 6) performed the tallest (131.87 cm), higher number of active root nodules (24.35), heavier biomass (1,234 grams), pod yield (2,041 kilograms) and seed yield (1,111 kilograms) while on the varying fertilization scheme did not significantly affect the performance of the four varieties of soybean except the shelling percentage. Comparable results were observed on the interaction effect of varieties fertilization scheme except on plant height and shelling percentage. Variety Select Tudela Black did bear flower but did not produce pod. PSB Sy 02 (Tiwala 6) applied with Organic fertilizer (V1F1) treatment combination is the best recommendation to attain highest Return on Investment (ROI) of 191.93% on vegetable soybean production.Item Healthcare waste management of the la union district hospitals(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2024) Naguit, Lewellyn U.The study sought to formulate a La Union District Hospital's Healthcare Waste Management Plan.

A plan is needed to achieve a high level of performance in the Healthcare Waste Management of the La Union District Hospitals in delivering quality healthcare services.Item Household saving behavior in the city of San Fernando across ecological zones.(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2007) Parrocha, Garry Leif C.The study sought to determine the economic, social and psychological determinants affecting the saving behavior of the households in the City of San Fernando across the three different ecological zones, specifically the coastal, lowland and the upland. The study utilized a descriptive-normative, comparative and predictive-association research design in a multi- and inter- disciplinary approach. The research was both quantitative and qualitative in characterizing saving behavior in terms of savings level, frequency of savings withdrawal and preference where to put savings. The study focused on the household profile in terms of socio- economic, socio-psychological and psycho-economic aspects. The related variables affecting household saving behavior were identified through econometric model and socio-psychological theories and concepts. To test the hypotheses, averages, frequency distribution, percentages, Chi-square, Goodman-Kruskal Lambda Coefficient and Multiple Regression Analysis were employed. There are three major aspects of the study – Socio-economic, Socio-psychological and Psycho-economic. Each aspect has categories and each category has determinants. The salient findings of the study revealed the following: The Household profile was described according to socio- economic aspects, socio-psychological aspects and psycho- economic aspects. Under socio-economic aspects were economic and social aspects. In the economic aspects were income and permanent income. In terms of income majority of the households were below the poverty level. Despite that, some were still able to save. In terms of permanent income respondents from the upland area had higher permanent income compared to the coastal and lowland areas. In the social aspects were age of the household, age of the household head, education of the household head, occupation of the household head and gender of the household head. In terms of age of the household, generally, the respondents were considered in their prime and productive age. With age of the household head almost all the respondents were considered matured. In the education of the household head, the resident household heads of the City of San Fernando were educated. In the occupation of the household head, most of the household heads were gainfully employed. In the gender of the household head, the respondents were dominated by the male group who were also considered heads of the family. The socio-psychological composed of social and psychological aspects. In the social aspects were values, cultural norms and lifestyle In terms of values, respondents were family-oriented but least prioritized community involvement. In terms of cultural norms, culture was predominantly influential to the social behavior of the households. The lifestyle of the household heads was influenced greatly by the traditions and customs giving emphasis on a simple way of life. In the psychological aspects were locus of control, decision- making, motivation and self-control. There is a manifestation of high internal locus of control and those with such had the propensity to save a greater portion of their income. A combination of decision-making style predominates in the three ecological zones. A variety of motivational factors was influencing the respondents whether to save or not to save. There is a manifestation of a high degree of self-control with emphasis on will power to defer gratification. The psycho-economic aspects composed of the savings level (in terms of percentage in income), frequency of savings withdrawal, preference where to put savings, saving frequency, amount of loans and frequency of loan payment. With savings level, generally, the respondents were able to save but in smaller amounts at the same time, incurring larger amounts of credit. Respondents manifested dual characteristics possessing both saver and dissever though there is a stronger manifestation of being a dissaver than being a saver. In the frequency of savings withdrawal, the longest duration of the non-withdrawal of savings was more than one year. It was manifested by one-third of the respondents who were saving their money in financial institutions. In terms of preference where to put savings, there was combined strategy of saving preferences was practiced both in utilizing banks and other financial institutions and the traditional way of using piggybanks and safekeeping savings in their homes. The respondents manifested a high regard in using financial institutions as their primary preference to save although they have the tendency of hoarding when they do not circulate the money to the market which as a result, is not beneficial to the economy. In saving frequency, there is no uniformity in the pattern of saving frequency among the respondents. The amounts of loan incurred by the respondents were greater than the average income of the household heads. In terms of frequency of loan payment, they pay their loans regularly every after 15 days, which is in consonance with the payday scheme of employed respondents. On the significant differences in the profile of the households on the different ecological zones in the City of San Fernando, it was observed that there are no significant differences among savings and income, permanent income, age of household head, experience of household head, values and motivation whereas there were significant differences across the three ecological zones evident on household head occupation, household head gender, culture, lifestyle choice, locus of control, decision-making, self-control, saving levels, frequency of saving withdrawal and preference where to put savings. Relationship of variables on saving levels as factor of determinants along coastal areas reveals that permanent income, age of households, age of household heads, education of household heads, work experience, and gender are socio-economic aspects having direct relationships on saving level. Income is not a predictor of saving level in the coastal area. In the lowland area, all the socio-economic variables were found to serve as determinants on saving level except for income. Same pattern was manifested in the upland area that there is a direct relationship on the variables of saving levels except for permanent income. In relation to socio-psychological aspects, all respondents of the three ecological zones identified all variables to provide relationships on saving levels. Same results hold true to the psycho-economic aspects. All the variables on the socio-economic, socio-psychological and psycho-economic aspects displayed a direct relationship on the frequency of saving withdrawal in all the ecological zones. Preferences where to put savings manifested a direct relationship on most of the socio-economic aspects except on the age of the household head and occupation of the household head. Only self-control has no relationship to the socio-psychological aspect in the coastal area. In the lowland area, only the age of the household and occupation of the household heads are not related to the frequency of savings. In like manner, the upland respondent’s age of the household head, lifestyle choice and self- control are the only variables not affecting their preferences where to put their savings. Cutting across all household profile and saving behavior of the respondents, the income and household age surfaced to greatly serve as determinants to household saving behavior.Item Human resource development program of christ the king college high school personnel(Don Mariano Marcos Memorial State University -Open University System, 2009) Dumaguin, Augustina C.This research determined the level of job satisfaction of Christ the King College high school personnel as basis in the formulation of the Human Resource Development program.
