3rd Quarter Thematic



 In this photo, our team is actively collecting data in Barangay Mindoro. Armed with notebooks, surveys, and digital tools, we engage with locals to understand the key issues in their community. The atmosphere is exploding with teamwork as we carefully and accurately document observations, ensuring accuracy in our research.


One of the most crucial parts of our research was interviewing residents and stakeholders about environmental awareness in Barangay Mindoro’s coastal areas. In this image, we are seen speaking with fishermen, local officials, and community members, listening to their insights about the challenges they face. Through these discussions, we gained firsthand knowledge of issues such as waste management, marine pollution, and conservation efforts. Their responses provided valuable perspectives that shaped the direction of our study.



Continuing our interviews, we focused on how the residents perceive and address environmental concerns. We documented their thoughts on climate change, coastal erosion, and the impact of human activities on marine life. Some expressed concerns over declining fish populations, while others shared initiatives they have started to promote sustainability. This interaction was eye-opening, highlighting the importance of local involvement in protecting natural resources.




After gathering all necessary information, our team moved on to the coding phase. In this image, we are seen working on our laptops, coding and categorizing the responses from our interviews. We carefully organized the data, identifying patterns and key themes to draw meaningful conclusions. This stage was critical in transforming raw data into structured insights that would support our findings.



Finally, our research journey reflects in this moment, our team presenting the results of our Community-Based Research. In this photo, we confidently share our findings, key points and recommendations. We showcase graphs, case studies, and community insights, emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts in addressing environmental concerns. This presentation marks the completion of our research journey, a testament to our dedication to understanding and contributing to the community.


My 3rd Quarter Reflection


 This third Quarter, I learned a lot in ICT, especially about CBR or Community-based research, html frames and nested lists. CBR taught me how to gather informations effectively and accurately, it also helped me to develop my communication skills becauseto of the interviews we've conducted and also helped me inimproving my analytical and critical thinking skills. Also, learning nested list helped me on how to organize datasbettera especially in HTML programming. Frames also gave me a lot of fun, I lovem the mechanism of you experimenting to achieve your wanted results. T



However, I also faced many challenges throughout my third Quarter journey. Community-based research required a lot of effort in gathering and information analysis, which sometimes makes me feel overwhelmed. Nested list also brought me a lot of confusion at first, but I managed to master it with a lot of practice and experimentations. 



In order to address these challenges, I seek help from my teacher and classmates whenever I feel like I can't do a certain task. I also keep on practicing to be able to master our lesson. Moving forward, I will continue to improve my skills and will manage my time better.
