    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.

    PLC Based Prepaid Purified Water Drinking Station
    (DMMMSU, 2022-12-01) Marquez, Larry D.
    PLC based prepaid purified drinking water station was designed and developed to address the safe distribution of purified drinking water at a reasonable cost to the end users and helped reduce the increasing number of solid wastes brought by used plastic bottles. The design of the machine was in accordance with the standard specifications of a water dispenser. The machine was fabricated using high grade stainless steel and food grade PVC water pipes. The evaluation of the machine underwent several trials to meet the desired volume of water. Dispensing of 250ml purified water will be attained by inserting the validated peso coin to the coin acceptor. The preset time for every transaction is four seconds. Overall dimensions of the machine are 60x52x16 inches equipped with 4 mini water pumps, a controller and four gooseneck faucets. The performance of the machine satisfies the perception of the evaluators. The design was based on the standards of a water vending machine and the desired volume of water to be dispensed was met.
