Extent of Using Feedback Mechanism and Communication Practices as Strategies in Developing Social Competency of Students in Banjo Laurel National High School

Jenny Lyn Malimban

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study examined the use of feedback mechanisms and communication practices as strategies for enhancing the social competencies of students at Banjo Laurel National High School. It aimed to determine the relationship between these strategies and students' levels of civic, social, ethical, and political competence. A descriptive research design was employed, utilizing a researcher-developed survey questionnaire validated by education experts, including an Education Program Supervisor, a master teacher, and Social Studies educators. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation to assess the relationship between variables. The findings revealed that students perceived feedback mechanisms—such as oral, written, evaluative, informal, and self-assessed forms—as effective. Similarly, communication practices like praise, appreciation, criticism, coaching, and encouragement were also seen as beneficial. Students demonstrated high levels of social competence, and a significant positive relationship was found between feedback and communication strategies and their social competencies. These results highlight the importance of incorporating effective feedback and communication practices in educational settings to support students' social development.
