Factors Affecting Student Behavior of Grade V-Patience in Balele Elementary School School Year 2018-2019

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Character education has been a part of public schooling in the Philippines since its beginning. Nowadays, it has been implemented under the K to 12 Curriculum as Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao. The current emphasis on character education in schools began in the early 1990s as an attempt to lessen the increasingly violent behavior of students as observed by most of the teachers.

METHODS

The researcher used the multiple case study that determined different factors affecting the behavior of Grade V-Patience pupils of Balele Elementary School, school year 2018-2019. It involved the gathering of data through interview and survey in the attempt to test the hypothesis.

RESULTS

After the thorough analysis and interpretation of data gathered, the following results had been attained in connection with the statement of the problem. That most of the students having negative behavior came from a broken family. Those who were in that case have different situations e.g. early marriage, poverty, unemployment, conflict of both families, and miscommunication. Those situations led the parents to have misunderstandings that cause separation and divorce. The issues often involved in family conflict are communication skills like shouting, silence, swearing, name calling, keeping secrets and issuing threats or using ultimatums.

DISCUSSIONS

When a child misbehaves or fails to meet expectations at school, the child's home and family life should be considered. Several family factors can affect a child's behavior and ability to perform in the classroom. These include economic stability, changes in family relationships, parental attitudes toward education, and incidence of child abuse. Children who have parents who encourage academic success are more likely to develop their own aspirations for higher education.
