Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Parents as one of the important figures in society are responsible for bringing up children. It is obvious that without parental guidance, the majority of children would be confused and lost. On the other hand, good teachers can inspire powerful learning among children, even under the most difficult circumstances. The most important factors that influence the development of positive values are home factors followed by school factors.

The researcher applied the descriptive method of research using a questionnaire. The study made use of twenty percent (20%) pupil-respondents which were chosen through random sampling. The instrument was constructed based on the idea that questions must: pertain to the hypothesized relation of variables, provide answers to the stated research question, attain the research objectives, relate to the theoretical-conceptual framework.

RESULTS

It is evident that the elders, tutor, and teacher affect the behavior and attitude of the child. The concept that everything begins at home was again strengthened implicitly in this study.

DISCUSSIONS

Since both parents and teachers are very influential in the values formation of the pupils, then they should serve as better example of desirable values. This study could be a basis for enhancement program for teachers, parents, and administration for the betterment of the values formation of the pupils.
