A set S ⊆ V (G) is a doubly connected dominating set if it is dominating and both S and V (G)\S are connected. The doubly connected domination number of G, denoted by γ cc (G), is the smallest cardinality of a doubly connected dominating set S of G. A convex dominating set S of G is a convex doubly connected dominating set if S is a doubly connected dominating set of G. The convex doubly connected domination number of G, denoted by γ ccc (G), is the smallest cardinality of a convex doubly connected dominating set S of G. In this paper, we show that every integers a, b, c, and n with 1 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ c ≤ n is realizable as domination number, convex domination number, convex doubly connected domination number, and order of G respectively. Further, we give the characterization of the convex doubly connected dominating set with convex doubly connected domination numbers of 1 and 2. Finally, we characterize the convex doubly connected dominating sets of the join and corona of graphs.

The doubly connected domination number of G, denoted by γ cc (G), is the smallest cardinality of a doubly connected dominating set S of G. A convex dominating set S of G is a convex doubly connected dominating set if S is a doubly connected dominating set of G. The convex doubly connected domination number of G, denoted by γ ccc (G), is the smallest cardinality of a convex doubly connected dominating set S of G. In this paper, we show that every integers a, b, c, and n with 1 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ c ≤ n is realizable as domination number, convex domination number, convex doubly connected domination number, and order of G respectively. Further, we give the characterization of the convex doubly connected dominating set with convex doubly connected domination numbers of 1 and 2. Finally, we characterize the convex doubly connected dominating sets of the join and corona of graphs.

Thus, this research study investigated the VSU-Isabel students' computer self-efficacy and computer value during the New Normal. The study employed quantitative-descriptive research utilizing the mean and standard deviation of the students' responses in the survey items. It also employed a correlational approach in establishing the relationship between students' computer self-efficacy and computer value. A convenience sampling technique was used to arrive at a sample of 687 student-respondents from 1st year to 5th year. The research study revealed that the students are undecided if they can use computers compared to the other students. Also, it was found out that students agreed about the value of computers. Additionally, the study revealed that there is a significant and low positive correlation, r (685) = .387, p = .01, between the students' computer self-efficacy belief a...

With this, this research study on students’ perception before the integration and the students’ attitude after the integration of text-messaging inside the classroom during the mathematics teaching-learning process was conducted. With 35-sample accountancy students at University of San Carlos, preliminary survey showed: 1) all of them have their own cellphone; 2) twenty-four out of 35 (68.57%) have airtime load everyday; and 3) all of them haven’t experienced the integration of text-messaging in their teaching-learning process. Additionally, the students: 1) have a positive attitude towards mathematics; 2) agreed if the integration of text-messaging will be implemented; 3) still agreed after the implementation; and 4) evaluated the integration as effective. Furthermore, there is: 1) no significant difference between the before and after responses of the students on integration...

This mode of communication is prevalently used even in the academic arena. In this paper, Mathematics teaching-learning has gone beyond the four walls of the classroom. Text messaging was utilized in the teaching-learning process. The teacher sent concepts and illustrative examples to the students via SMS. The students interacted with the teacher and learned a new lesson through this mode of communication. A quasi-experimental research design was utilized to establish the impact of teaching-learning mathematics beyond the four walls with the aid of Text messaging. The study revealed that the experimental group performed equally with the controlled group, which revealed that the teaching-learning mathematics beyond the fours wall with the aid of Text messaging is effective. It is because the experimental group did not undergo an actual classroom teaching-learning compared to the controlled group. Further results of the investigation are presented in this paper.

Its unique feature called "Facebook group" allows anyone to post images, documents, pdf files, PowerPoint presentations, and video clips. Even polls can also be posted where members of the group can simply click their response to a given poll question. Indeed, the Facebook group is already utilized by almost any organization. Many mathematics educators have already taken advantage of its utility to deliver learning materials to their students. This research study utilized the Facebook group in the mathematics teaching-learning process and students' cooperative learning experience. It is an avenue to discuss topics and other issues relevant to their existence. The students learned a new lesson through this phenomenal and modernized communication tool. Results of the investigation are presented in this paper.
