Discipline: Education

Abstract:

The study aimed to determine the effects of values integration on the behavior and academic performance of grade 8 students in selected public secondary schools in Angono, Rizal during the School Year 2019-2020. The respondents of the study were selected grade 8 students in public secondary schools in Angono, Rizal. The sample size was determined through the Slovin’s formula. Hence out of 1928 students, 321 were considered. Simple random sampling technique was used in the selection of the respondents. Descriptive survey research design was applied utilizing a researcher-made questionnaire-checklist in gathering the needed data on the effects of values integration on the behavior of grade 8 students with respect to overt and covert behavior. Documentary analysis was also applied since the average grades of the students in the previous school year were obtained as basis of their academic performance. The study revealed that Values integration has less effects on the behavior of Grade 8 students with respect to overt behavior and covert behavior. Monthly family income and fathers’ educational attainment are greatly significant to the effects of values integration on the behavior of the students with respect to overt behavior and covert behavior; however, when grouped by age, sex, sibling position, number of children in the family and mothers’ educational attainment is not significant. The student performs satisfactory as revealed by their average grades. Moreso, there is significant relationship between the perceived extent of effects of values integration on the behavior of the respondents and their academic performance. The study concluded that monthly family income and fathers’ educational attainment are determinants on the effects of values integration on the behavior of the Grade 8 students. It was recommended that teachers and parents may go hand in hand in monitoring closely the behavior of students for effective values integration.
