INTRODUCTION

SUMMER PRACTICUM

Practicum: also called an internship, it is an on-the-job learning experience

undertaken within an academic framework; a supervised/mentored, practical

application of a previously studied theory.

Internships provide students with hands-on learning experience as they gain a

glimpse into the real world, giving them a front-row seat to a potential career choice.

They go into the internship thinking they want to work at a specific company or in a

specific industry and come out of the internship either having confirmed those thoughts

or having decided to pursue something completely different. The idea is that they get to

know now if they like a job rather than when they graduate. So many people move into

jobs they dislike after graduation because they didn't know any better. Internships are a

good way to curb that likelihood.Internships also provide networking opportunities. Most

college students don't have a professional network. Internships change that. Students

leave internships with a Rolodex of professional contacts who can help them gain future

employment, whether by serving as a reference or by alerting them to job opportunities.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Importance of Practicum to the student trainee:

Practicum is an important part of every paramedic program, providing students a learning

environment to develop new skills and adjust their previous practice. At the same time, it
is also seen as a final exam, a chance to see if the student is ready for practice outside of
the classroom setting. This occurs under the watchful eyes of their preceptors, who serve
as teachers and adjudicators at the same time. These diverging objectives can cause
confusion and challenges for both the student and the preceptor. It is thus necessary to
clarify the point of practicum and the role of the preceptor.

Practicum is meant to provide students a bridge between the classroom and the practice
environment they will soon enter. The students are expected to learn how to assess and
treat patients based on the knowledge developed during their schooling. At the same
time, students adapt skills to live patients rather than classmates and mannequins. It is a
challenging situation. The rigid structure developed in school as a foundation is
challenged by the more fluid practice environment. Students must ask patients about their
symptoms and interpret physical signs rather than receive verbal prompts. These
assessments may be further complicated by a lack of personal experience of clinical
presentations and the subtle hints that may indicate a patient is stable or deteriorating.
Rigid scenario-based approaches are challenged by managing multiple priorities at the
same time.

Importance of the different field area you encountered: Geo-mapping, Vegetable area

establishment, Ruminant production, poultry production, mushroom production, vermi-culture,

floriculture, Banana Production.

Vegetable Area Establishment

Vegetables are increasingly recognized as essential for food and nutrition security.

Vegetable production provides a promising economic opportunity for reducing rural

poverty and unemployment in developing countries and is a key component of farm

diversification strategies. Vegetables are mankind's most affordable source of vitamins

and minerals needed for good health. Today, neither the economic nor nutritional power

of vegetables is sufficiently realized. To tap the economic power of vegetables,

governments will need to increase their investment in farm productivity (including

improved varieties, alternatives to chemical pesticides, and the use of protected

cultivation), good postharvest management, food safety, and market access. To tap the

nutritional power of vegetables, consumers need to know how vegetables contribute to

health, and find them at affordable prices or be able to grow them themselves. Vegetable

consumption must therefore be nurtured through a combination of supply-side

interventions and behavioral change communication emphasizing the importance of

eating vegetables for good nutrition and health. To fully tap the economic and nutritional

power of vegetables, governments and donors will need to give vegetables much greater

priority than they currently receive. Now is the time to prioritize investments in

Ruminant Production

Poultry Production

The raising of poultry mainly fulfills the purposes of meat,eggs and feather production,

and sometimes for religious ceremonies (Scanes et al., 2004). Poultry are efficient

converters of feed to food. Food of poultry origin serves the highest nutritional values,

with egg being not only delicious but extremely nutritious and balance of all nutrients

(Scanes et al., 2004).

Poultry plays very important role for mankind through food supply, income and

employment generation, providing raw materials to some industries, facilitating research

works etc. Family poultry makes up to 80 percent of poultry stocks in low-income food-

deficit countries (Pym et al., 2006) where owners raise poultry in small numbers ranging

from single birds up to a few hundred.

Mushroom Production

Mushroom consumption and medicinal application of fungi first started in Asian

countries. The history of the cultivation of fungi for food and medicines in Asia

started In China 600 years AD with the artificial inoculation of twigs with

Auricularia auricularia-judae which is a common mushroom to the Asian kitchen.

On the other hand, in many European countries, mushrooms are broadly neglected

for centuries. There is no practice of mushroom hunting because of the fear of

mushroom poisoning and other reasons. Cultivated mushrooms have become one of the

most important crops in Chinese agriculture, reaching an estimated annual yield of

38.42 million tonnes. Today, there are 1,789 edible and 798 medicinal fungi

reported from China being largest edible mushroom producer in the world.The

cultivation of edible mushrooms offers one of the most feasible and economic

method for the bio conversion of agro-ligno cellulosic wastes; edible mushrooms are

highly priced, not only as food but also in traditional medicine. Naraian et al., (2014)

stated that the cultivation of mushroom is recognized as worthwhile agribusiness and

oyster mushroom as a popular white vegetable having excellent flavour and taste.

The utilization of agricultural waste as growing media for the production of

mushroom play a key role in reducing the waste and at the same time useful as a
 _____________________________ ___________________________

APAYAO STATE COLLEGE BS AGRICULTURE 15

_____________________________ ___________________________

fertilizer (Sher et al., 2011). Furthermore, mushrooms can make a valuable dietary

addition through protein and various micro nutrients and, coupled with their medicinal

properties, mushroom cultivation can represent a valuable small-scale enterprise

option. Moreover, growing of mushrooms helps avoid some of the challenges

facing collectors of wild fungi, including species identification, obtaining access and

permits for collecting, and practicing sustainable harvest. Cultivation is also

independent of weather,

and can recycle agricultural by-products as composted substrate which, in turn, can be

used as organic mulch in growing other horticultural crops, including vegetables.The

area under banana and coconut industry is increasing day by day in the

Philippines and a large quantity of biomass is produced after cultivation of this crops.

Use of this agro -waste by products in combination with saw dust can help to increase

the yield of Postreatus or the oyster mushroom. Therefore, various experiments were

conducted to evaluate the yield potential of Postreatus grown on lignocellulosic

agricultural wastes such as the coconut residue and dried banana leaves

alone.Although, there has been a great amount of research on mushrooms and

their cultivation in temperate climates, there has unfortunately been

comparatively little on varieties suitable for tropical climates. Many commercial

mushrooms only fruits at around20°C and are therefore, not suitable for tropical

regions. The production of tropical mushrooms like oyster ( Pleurotus spp)

Vermicomposting

Floriculture

Banana Macropropagation

The banana plant is a sizable perennial herb with pseudostems that resemble trunks

made of the leaf sheaths. The plant has 8–12 leaves that can reach a length of 9 feet and a

width of 2 feet. In certain instances, root development in loose soil can extend up to 30

feet laterally. The description of other plants varies depending on their variation.

The pseudostem's middle is penetrated by the inflorescence, or flower stalk. Flowers

grow in groups and spiral around their central axis. The majority of cultivars feature a

few "hands" of neuter flowers that have ovulated and lost their stamens that follow the

female flowers. Male flowers encased in bracts follow the terminal ends of the neuter

blooms. The male flowers have ovaries that have been aborted but functional stamens.

The earliest (female) flowers' ovaries expand quickly and mature partheno carpically

(without pollination) into clusters of fruits known as hands.

 _____________________________ ___________________________

APAYAO STATE COLLEGE BS AGRICULTURE 17

_____________________________ ___________________________

60 to 90 days after the first appearance of the blossoms, the fruits are ready. The

number of "hands" along the central stem of each cluster of fruits varies. There are two

transverse rows of fruits in each "hand" ("fingers").

Size (finger length and thickness), evenness of ripening, lack of blemishes and

defects, and cluster arrangement all affect the fruit's quality. Different markets may have

different quality standards.

Advantages of Macropropagation

It gives relatively healthy plants if suckers got from healthy mother plants and

contamination is avoided during the process and can be done locally at low cost and with

minimum training a private person or farmers organization can launch this activity the

produced plantlet are easily transportable and so easily marketable.

How to select suckers:

Healthy sword suckers are carefully uprooted from healthy looking mother plants.

Sword sucker that are about I m in length whose leaves are still shaped like a sword.

They’re recommended suckers to use for macropropagation.

Pairing to remove roots:

 _____________________________ ___________________________

APAYAO STATE COLLEGE BS AGRICULTURE 18

_____________________________ ___________________________

The sword suckers are then cleaned to remove soil and paired to remove outer tissue

like roots sheaths and the top mat layer of the comb. In this way nematodes which mainly

reside in roots are remove at the same time allowing visibility in case of any weevel

tunnels are on the corm tissue after pairing the suckers are then immersed in boiling

water in 30 seconds.

Boiling water treatment:

This is a process whereby the paired of sucker is dipped in boiling water for 30

seconds. It aim is to have a healthy sucker that is free from nematodes and their eggs that

maybe on the surface of the corm.

Overheating kills the sucker peeling to expose buds. A process where the sheaths are

continously peeled off at the point of their connection to the corm. This helps to expose

buds which are always found where the sheaths starts and ends at this point. The sheath

seems to make a letter V each bud that is exposed is crosscut in the center to allow

sprouting of multi shoots. After all the sprouting of multiple shoots the possible buds are

exposed the main growing point on the comb killed by cross cutting in the middle or ,by

simply removing growing soft tissues in the middle.

 2nd and 3rd extraction for plants to be used as spray or soil drench ( add

to IMO and FPJ mixture and spray on the leaves and the soil every

week when they weaken and start to flower)

Problems Encountered

 My stocks are fighting each other.

Lessons Learned

 The stocks fight each other because they don’t know each other since they came

from different owners.

Applications in the Field of Specialization

 In Poultry Site Selection, we must be aware of concerns related to (1)

environmental issues like water quality, odors and flies, litter applications on

fields and high soil phosphorous levels; (2) nearby neighbors and public areas like

churches, parks and businesses; and (3) laws and regulations that affect farming

operations.
_____________________________ ___________________________

APAYAO STATE COLLEGE BS AGRICULTURE 29

_____________________________ ___________________________

 In Poultry House Building, poultry like any other living creature needs some kind

of shelter. Whether the chickens are free-range, pastured or caged – to protect the

birds against adverse weather, to ensure proper feeding, to provide a safe place to

lay eggs, to carry out effective poultry disease control measures, to protect the

flock from predators and pests, to supervise the chickens in a better way, to

maximize production.

 In Stock Selection, broiler breeders are the parent stock used to produce hatching

eggs for commercial broiler production. When selecting broiler breeders, look for

evidence of a healthy, productive bird. The criteria includes general health, body

weight, conformation, and performance data.

 In Feed formulation requires thorough understanding of the: (a)nutrient

requirements of the class of poultry (e.g., egg layers, meat chickens or breeders);

(b)feed ingredients in terms of nutrient composition and constraints in terms of

nutrition and processing, and (c)cost and availability of the ingredients.

 Concoction Making does not use any chemical-based implements including

insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and fertilizers. All are just natural.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION

SUMMARY

Poultry production is one of the best ways to sustain our daily needs (in terms of

food and income) especially to the family without large area of land to cultivate.

However, raising chickens is not that easy. It requires a lot of attention (time and effort)

for a great production. It also requires good management and maintenance for the

continuous production.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, this practicum has been very advantageous for me. I can safely say

that my understanding of the job environment has increased greatly. I can apply this

experience to help the people in our community who are struggling with financial

matters. They can use as an extra income, like in making mushrooms, incubators, etc.

Throughout my practicum , I could understand why we needed to do the application. It is

to prepare ourselves to become a responsible trainee. I’ve encountered a lot of problems

during our practicum. In addition to that, this practicum is a big opportunity for me

because it helps me to learn to my fellow teachers, discipline myself, be patient, and self

trust. During our practicum period there was an argument happened between my

classmates because some of them came late. For the advice of everybody we should

know our responsibility and be matured enough. And I also observe everyone’s behavior

which I could possibly encounter to the work in the near future by God’s grace. All this

experience is very important.

RECOMMENDATION

I recommend that we must do our responsibilities as a trainee even though the

teacher/boss is not around. We must

Values.

Apayao State College History

The Apayao State College emerged from what was formerly the Conner

Vocational High School (CVHS) which was established by Republic Act No. 4928

sponsored by then Congressman Juan M. Duyan, enacted without executive approval on

June 19, 1967, and entered into Official Gazette, Volume 65, No. 8, Page 1710, in

February 24 of the following year. The vocational high school was under the direct

supervision of the Director of Vocational Education, and upon his recommendation to the

President of the Philippines, a portion of public land within the Municipality of Conner,

as was necessary and as a convenient location, was set aside and reserved for the

establishment of the school site. Congressman Felipe B. Almazan worked for the release

of the sum of one hundred fifty thousand pesos that was authorized to be appropriated,

out of any funds in the National Treasury not otherwise appropriated, for the

establishment, operation and maintenance of the CVHS for the first year. The necessary

sums were then on included in the annual General Appropriations Act (GAA).

The institution opened on July 1, 1971 with five faculty members, four office

personnel and an initial enrolment of twenty-four (24) male students, temporarily housed

at the defunct Municipal Building at Barangay Ripang, Conner, Kalinga-Apayao. The

school site was then transferred in 1974 to Barangay Malama, on a 4.8 hectare site

donated by the Albert Bengan and Gorospe Sabas. The first building was inaugurated on

August 24, 1975 and another building for the Boys Shop was constructed on the

succeeding year.

In 1976, the request of the offering of two-year technical courses was granted, as

the position of School Principal was re-classified to Vocational School Administrator, and

on February 7, 1978, the President of the Philippines approved the changing of the status

and name of the school to Kalinga-Apayao School of Arts and Trades (KASAT). An

adjacent site with an area of 2.27 hectares was purchased in 1982 as an extension site for

the operation of the programs of the school. The land purchase made the school land area

a total of 7.07 hectares.

The school administrator, Dr. Lorenzo J. Tadios, worked for the approval to offer

four-year degree courses, beginning with the offering of Bachelor of Secondary

 _____________________________ ___________________________

Education (BSE), and in 1992, with the cooperative efforts of a working force of 66

faculty and staff, KASAT successfully graduated its first batch of Bachelor of Secondary

Education, Major in Technology and Home Economics (BSE-THE). To accommodate

college youth in Apayao, KASAT was extended to Luna in 1993 by annexing the then

Luna Academy which was acquired through the initiative of the then Congressman Elias

K. Bulut. The following year, with the move for the conversion of Apayao as a separate

province from Kalinga in 1994, Dr. Tadios continued efforts for the conversion of

KASAT to the Apayao Institute of Science and Technology (AIST) to cater more to the

needs of the province and the immediate service areas of the school.

The exemplary leadership of Congressman Elias K. Bulut and Senator Leticia

Ramos-Shahani, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Education, was evidenced in the

approval by President Fidel V. Ramos for the conversion of the Kalinga-Apayao School

of Arts and Trades into the Apayao Institute of Science and Technology through Republic

Act 7853 of House Bill No. 8179 on December 24, 1994.

When Kalinga and Apayao became two separate provinces with the passage of

Republic Act No. 7878 on February 14, 1995, Congressman Elias K. Bulut, Governor

Lawrence Wacnang of Kalinga – Apayao, Beatriz Dongui-is, a representative of the

Commission on Higher Education (CHED), and Municipal Mayors of the Province

witnessed the inauguration of the Apayao Institute of Science and Technology (AIST) on

March 4, 1995.

With the global demand of quality education, the thrust of the national

government on Education For All, and the demand of the community for more relevant

and competitive degree courses, the school superintendent, with the full support of then

Congressman Elias K. Bulut, drafted a Bill and worked for its passing in congress, for the

elevation of the institution to a state college. As a state college, the institution would be

mandated to offer more degree programs. With the collaborative efforts of the

congressman, the school superintendent, local officials and the college faculty and

administrative staff, the Apayao Institute of Science and Technology was converted into

the Apayao State College (ASC) on February 26, 1998, through Republic Act 8563.

Dr. Lorenzo J. Tadios, who worked for twenty-nine (29) years as school

administrator of the institution, was inaugurated as the first president of the Apayao State

College on February 26, 1999. Dr. Zacarias A. Baluscang, Jr. followed as the second

president of the college for two successive terms from 2003 to 2012 envisioning ASC as

a leading and dynamic institution of higher learning throughout the country. The third

president of the college, Dr. Nieves A. Dacyon, who was installed on December 1, 2012

embarked on the vision of Apayao State College as a biodiversity research and

sworn in as the fourth president of the Apayao State College, to fulfil her proposed vision

for the Apayao State College of empowering lives and communities through stewardship
