Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This research was aimed at studying the impact of school rules and regulations among Grade 9 students at Bukal National High School for the School Year 2018-2019. The study sought to identify how frequent the learners follow school rules and regulations in terms of Classroom Behaviors, Grooming in School, Respect for Authority, and Academic Requirements, and the difficulties that the teachers encounter in giving instructions to them.

METHODS

A descriptive survey design was used to examine the impact of school rules and regulations. The target population for this study consisted of thirty (30) male students from Grade 9 and seven (7) subject teachers who are teaching at the said level. The study instruments were the questionnaires for the students and teachers. The instruments used were reviewed for validity by the evaluator from Golden Gate Colleges. Data were also analyzed using descriptive analysis such as frequencies and ranking.

RESULTS

The findings of the study revealed that the students were not frequently following the school rules and regulations when it comes to creating troubles, not wearing earrings, submitting requirements on time, and classroom behaviors. On the other hand, the teachers were notconsistent in the implementations of the school rules and regulations since the learners do not fully understand the school rules and regulations.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrate the need for the revision of School-Based Child Protection Policy, the consistent implementation of school rules and regulations, proper orientation of students from the beginning of the school year, and the increase of the reinforcement activities that would motivate the learners to follow the school rules and regulations.
