RESULTS

The results show that the insights of teachers on pupils’ classroom etiquettes listed were alike.

Through the influence of technology and lack of parents' duties, the situations affect the character and learning progress of a child. The situations include arriving in class on time, contribution and participation in class discussion when appropriate, addressing teachers properly, contacting teachers when absent in class, accepting responsibilities and accountability for all their actions, respecting the rights of others, following classroom rules and regulations, study habits, classroom behavior, doing homework diligently and patiently, and submission of assignments and projects ahead of time.
