The education system has recently been shattered by an unprecedented health crisis, which has affected its very foundation and caused it to collapse. Likewise, education is the only industry that has completely transitioned to an online modality in most countries, and it is the only one that has done so thoroughly. The current condition necessitates further investigation into students' online learning experiences, which may be the most beneficial alternative for continuing education experiences throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. This study sought to determine the effectiveness of two online integrative teaching strategies (focusing inquiry teaching strategy and the thematic teaching strategy) on students' integrated science process skills (interpreting data, defining, hypothesizing and experimenting skills). An experimental research design included two integrative sections, containing thirty (30) students each, taking up Earth and Life Science subjects from Santisimo Rosario Integrated High School. The first section was exposed to the thematic teaching strategy while the second to the focusing inquiry teaching strategy. The integrated science process skills of the learners were measured through a validated researcher-made assessment tool. The findings revealed that there had been an improvement in the integrated science process skills of the students after being exposed to OITS. Likewise, significant differences exist in the respondents' pretest and post-test scores exposed to OITS (focusing inquiry teaching strategy and thematic teaching strategy). Furthermore, ISPS among the two groups show no significant differences in the post-test scores. The findings of this study may aid in the development of a modified programs that is more appropriate for students who are adjusting to the new normal.

This study utilized the Solar Powered Multi-Network Greenhouse through microcontrollers and IoT-based application to design an automated mushroom monitoring and management system. As mushrooms are more to suffer from increased temperature especially in tropical countries like the Philippines, this study develops an automated system where composition is controlled by a microcontroller and monitored by Arduino IDE. The greenhouse monitoring device used different highly-capable sensors, which provides accurate parameters used for monitoring systems and better control management for cultivation. The different possible solutions to control parameters and maintain stability value suitable for mushroom cultivation were addressed. Thus, the prototype went through series of trials and tests to ensure functionality and accuracy of the device. Likewise, performance testing was conducted for temperature, relative humidity, and light to control and monitor the needs of the mushroom. The results revealed that the device is accurate, functional and capable. The study suggests that the greenhouse could be improved by installing a CCTV for constant monitoring of the interior and exterior of the greenhouse. The greenhouse could also be considered to be situated in a more private place as well as improve some of the application features.

The study focused on the development of Learning Management System (LMS) for Data Structures and Algorithms which allows the students to take modular online learning especially during the period of Covid-19 pandemic. This study aimed to answer five (5) problems: stages of development of the system using the Waterfall Method, the level of acceptability of the developed system based on the ISO 25010 standard, the difference in the evaluation of the three groups of respondents, the challenges encountered while using the system, and the implementation plan. The ninety (90) respondents were composed of sixty (60) students, fifteen (15) faculty members, and fifteen (15) IT experts. The study adopted a questionnaire checklist based on the ISO 25010 standard to determine the acceptability using the criteria functional suitability, performance efficiency, usability, and reliability. It also used an interview guide to gather the respondents’ experiences while using the system and document analysis using web resources. Based on the evaluation of the respondents, reflected by the weighted means of each variable, the developed system was acceptable. Furthermore, the ANOVA results showed no significant difference in the evaluation of the three groups of respondents in terms of functional suitability, performance efficiency, usability, and reliability.
