Research is the foundation of knowledge and innovation. In the Philippine basic education landscape, “research-infused” curriculum was implemented in the senior high school to inculcate research culture among learners. Thus, this convergent parallel mixed-method study explored the attitudes of Grade 12 senior high school students towards research and its relationship to their academic performance. Papanastasiou’s (2014) Revised Attitude towards Research (R-ATR) scale was administered to 100 randomly-selected Grade 12 senior high school students to gather quantitative data. Open-ended questionnaire was utilized to gather qualitative data from ten (10) senior high school students. Data were analysed using Descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient. Excerpts from the qualitative data were provided to support the statistical analysis of data. Results revealed that the students have a generally positive attitude towards research albeit the high level of anxiety that they experience. RATR scale attitude domains showed low to high degree of relationship with each other. Conversely, students’ attitudes towards research did not show significant relationship with students’ academic performance in Practical Research 2. The results yielded by this research may be used as a basis for a more efficient delivery of research-related courses in the senior high school.

Griby i mukhi : a historical contextualization of the esoteric mushroom religion of moscow conceptualism: fungal erotic imagery of entheogens and insects.

“ The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. The insight into the mystery of life, coupled with fear, has also given rise to religion. To know what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and the most radiant beauty, which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their most primitive forms—this knowledge, this feeling is at the center of true religiousness .” Albert Einstein ( 1954 ).

1. Preliminary Remarks

2. introducing the subject: esoteric context and the fungi.

“I have come to the conclusion that much can be learned about music by devoting oneself to the mushroom.”. —John Cage, 1954

2.1. Mushrooms, Humans, and Religious Systems: Analytical Observations

2.2. new age esotericism, gnosticism, and the world of fungi: the problematics of spermic religious imagery.

Zohar Sitrei Torah 1: 147b–148b, ( Jacob’s Journey ) ‘ The secret of secrets: Out of the scorching noon of Isaac , out of the dregs of wine, a fungus emerged, a cluster , male and female together, red as a rose , expanding in many directions and paths . The male is called Sama’el , his female is always included within him . Just as it is on the side of holiness , so it is on the other side: male and female embracing one another . The female of Sama’el is called Serpent , Woman of Whoredom, End of All Flesh, End of Days . Two evil spirits joined together: the spirit of the male is subtle; the spirit of the female is diffused in many ways and paths but joined to the spirit of the male .’ ( Sitrei Torah is translated in ( Zohar 1983, p. 77 ))

“ If you force me to say something still more daring, it is his essence to be pregnant (kuein) with all things and to make them .”

“ We know you, O intellectual Light, O Life of life, We know you, O Womb of every creature, We know you, O Womb pregnant by the member [physis = phallus] of the Father. We know you, O eternal permanence of the begetting/pregnant Father .”

2.3. Fungal Eros: Phallic Occult Esotericism and Russian Cultural Links

2.4. mushroom art: several important visual models, 3. russian post-avant-garde conceptualism: the case of moscow milieus, the world of flies complements the universe of fungi.

In the garden, if you glance, you’ll see insects, old friends by chance , As if in cages, they now stay, perched on branches in dismay . Bees and flies, a buzzing sound, they once would dance and circle ‘round , In your ear, a letter Zh , 22   they’d bite you and your Shura, free . Now unhealthy, pale to see, Petrova the flea, sadly , Not a sight for pleasant eyes, trapped beneath the somber skies . Life is harsh, no comfort found, dawn winds howl with mournful sound , Wolves tear at the hapless hare, life’s cruel tale laid bare . From the oak, a bird takes flight, seeking food by day and night , Providence, with brutal charm, offers worms instead of farm . Calves beneath the butcher’s blade, fish ensnared in nets displayed , Lions roar through night’s domain, cats on chimneys cry in pain . In this world, a sorrowed dance, bourgeois, worker, no chance , Both these beetles in their class plight, struggle through the endless night . (1932). 23

“ Look now at Behemoth, which I made as I made you:   He eats grass like an ox . Look at his strength in his balls, and his power in the muscles of his penis . He makes his penis stiff like a cedar, the sinews of his balls are tightly wound . His balls are tubes of bronze, His balls like bars of iron ”. (Quick 345)

4. Concluding Remarks: Fungi, Esoteric Sensual Occult, and Russian (Post)-Avant-Garde

Fa-Fa I’m nervous, I’m loyal, so far… I’m tender . Fa-fa, fa-fa, fa-fa, fa-fa . Hallucinogens, the South… There’s plenty of us! The essence is coming . I’m a fugitive, I’m poor, so far… I’m white Fa-fa, fa-fa, fa-fa, fa-fa . Smokey grandfathers, snow… I’d like to go on the run , There’s an essence… Aha! I’m nervous, I’m loyal, bye-bye . I’m harmful . Fa-fa, fa-fa, fa-fa, fa-fa, fa-fa . If I were magic, taiga … I’d be on fire, I’d be living … The essence is coming! yeah . 25

… you inspire knowledge To both heart and mind: The distance is clearer When you look at the moon And time and separation , And the aunt of the arts The occult science , And many different feelings . The faces of the dead You make them pretty , And sometimes you dream …you’ll make a mindless mouse You confuse, you broadcast , You tumble your sickle And you accurately mark Only profit and damage . Your name is Hecate , Your name is Shepherd , The cats are your pay And a crowing rooster . 29
