INTRODUCTION

In Parklane Elementary School, one of the big schools in General Trias City, Division of General Trias, teachers face difficulty in children with different behaviors or different perspectives in life from the different situations in the family. This study will examine the progressive ideology that students should be able to govern themselves in the right path while ongoing meditation and reflection are on their track with the help of the teacher and stakeholders concerned. The study will be of great achievement to ease the problem in the classroom by applying the project CAMPUS (Conduct A Meditation Practices Uplifting Students) to promote student's behavior.

METHODS

Mix Exploratory method of research was used. The researcher made a behavioral survey-questionnaire on the status of the eight (8) pupils as to Self-Control, Teachers Relation, Classmates, and School Relation validated by her principal. The researcher used purposive sampling, a sampling technique in which respondents are chosen based on their knowledge of the information required by the researcher. This is appropriate since those teachers mentioned have the background knowledge on the behavior of the mentioned eight (8) pupils.

RESULTS

The implementation of project CAMPUS (Conducts A Meditation Practices Uplift Students) are proven effective. They focus well in class and able to express themselves to other students. The parent/guardian of the eight (8) pupils with social problems are very thankful for the said program because they observed that even at home, there are changes in the behavior of the eight (8) students. Aside from that, teachers were also happy because they built positive and harmonious relationships within and outside of the school based on the interview conducted by the researcher.

DISCUSSIONS

An intervention program was developed based on the results of Project CAMPUS (Conduct A Meditation Practices Uplifting Students) for promoting student's behavior. Meditation is the training of a child's attention. It allows the child to step out of distracted thought and help him arrive in the present moment in a balanced and clear way. Though mindfulness meditation was inspired by Buddhist practices, it is available today as a wholly secular practice that emphasizes stress reduction, the cultivation of focus, and the development of tranquility.
