 A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE STUDENT’S SCHOOL ETIQUETTE

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

According to Thornberg (2008) school etiquette is connected to discipline and

classroom management. Learning school etiquette is being teach on grade school to high

school. School etiquette are also defined ways of thinking in the world. They are in every

school for the student to be disciplined and responsible. When we are in grade school are

thought to follow school etiquette. For example, there are always reported cases on

school regulation. Early on Monday to attend to the flag ceremony was attended by only

a few of the students. Not all the students attend the flag ceremony being on time to

attend it. The other students stay outside the campus or even late to avoid attending the

flag ceremony.

This research is much important for the researcher, especially to the students. It

measures the level of student's knowledge and actual school etiquette practices within our

co-students.This research will also deal with how students like us to see those school’s

etiquette because of this. One way to help the school is to know the different insights of

every student as much as possible. This can be the basis to the new generation's problem

when it comes to managing and discipline the etiquette. Generally, the school etiquette is

much important that we decided to have it as our topic and also measuring the level of

knowledge and actual school etiquette practices among BUTING SENIOR HIGH

SCHOOL Students’.

 A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE STUDENT’S SCHOOL ETIQUETTE

Background of the Study

From the study of Patricia Napier-Fitzpatrick “Young people who possess good

manners and polished social graces are more successful in their relationships with

friends, parents, and teachers”. Applying good manners and right conduct as indicated in

the school policy guidelines will lead you to have greater relationships with family,

friends, and another fellow person inside or outside the school. Today's etiquette began in

the French royal courts in the 1600s and 1700s. Long before we studied good manners

and right conduct in school, it was first presented in the early years. Treating others with

kindness, consideration, and respect; treating others the way we would like to be treated

is a message we stress over and over again in our classes for children and teens. Treat

anyone the way you want them to treat you. From the golden rules of Confucius, a lot of

people accept the way we should treat each other. School etiquette is the product of

educators. In a society, manners are described as either good manners or bad manners to

indicate to a person whether or not his or her behavior is acceptable to the cultural group.

The policy and guidelines that are indicated in the school rule book are actions that are

accepted in school. There are also texts the prohibited things.

In the 18th century, during the Age of Enlightenment, the adoption of etiquette

was a self-conscious process for acquiring the conventions of politeness and the

normative behaviors (charm, manners, demeanor) which symbolically identified the

person as a genteel member of the upper class. During the early day etiquette is a sacred

rule need to be followed and it is the guideline to be accepted in a given society like in

the family, school, churches, clubs, workplace and other society existed.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the related literature and studies after the thorough and in-

depth studies done by the researcher. The researcher organizes thematically the literature

and studies.

Foreign Literature and Studies

According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Bisera JEVTIĆ University of Niš Faculty of Philosophy

Serbia. This related literature discusses the rational rules. It discusses about the evaluation of

teachers towards students leading to an unsuccessful system of learning and behavior. The author

looked for another effective way of teaching and disciplining students. The intention of this

literature is that the interdependence between the valuation techniques of rational learning and

school failure is examined by calculating correlations and differences among the variables that

represent these two. The author tells the reader or teachers that effective rules will lead to

successful classroom management.

Based on the study of Richard L. Curwin (Affirmative Classroom Managemen). This

literature discusses about motivating students and giving them effective rules and consequences.

The author is Defining a rule as something that is always enforced has two implications. The first

is that we must choose only rules of significance and avoid wasting time and energy on small

issues that can be quickly and quietly dealt with without going through a formal process.

Defining a rule as something that is always enforced has two implications.

The first one is choosing rules that have significance for the students to avoid wasting time on

small issues and quickly deal with the process.

Page\ 2 R J.Demano, E.Cellon, M.Aton, W. Mandap, E. Corral 12-ICT-D

 A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE STUDENT’S SCHOOL ETIQUETTE

The second one is viewing the rules that may lead to consequences and not following it may give

them punishment. These two implications shown by the author satisfy readers and encouraging

them in more effective guidelines.

As specified by Backes, Charles E.; Ellis, Iris C. The author of this literature stated that

classroom management is a task that every teacher must face daily. The author said that teachers

always had a hard time managing peace and relationship in terms of classroom management. The

author said that students only misbehave if they don’t know what the teachers expected them to

be. It doesn’t change the fact that the infractions of appropriate school rules are inevitable. The

author said that punishment is not always effective for the students in behaving properly.

Local Literature and Studies

The study seek to Lourdes R. Quisumbing(1983), Teaching about values should be

interwoven with the subject matter and integrated skilfully into the activities of the lesson, until

the objective is achieved or a certain appreciation level is reached. The accepted manners will be

reached if the level of appreciation is also reached. The Education Department did not issue any

specific ruling on teaching values education at the tertiary level, they are expected to be well

polished when it comes to good manners and right conduct. The ASCS(1981), likewise considers

moral and spiritual education essential in the education of the Filipino professional. Teaching

students from grade school up to secondary school will help the students to be intoxicated to

being a good role model and increase their level of actual practices when it comes to school

etiquette.

Synthesis

The related literature shows the similarity of their observations, findings, and data that

how will students behave appropriately in class/school. The author of each study stated on how

to make or to manage students effectively inside the classroom or even other school facilities.

The authors gave enough data for this study. All those data and findings will be reflected since

this study and make it as references and help with the instrumentation. Gathering all the data

found in the literature answers some of the problems in this study.

Classroom management regarding the school etiquette needs more effective rules and guidelines.

The policy guideline especially on what’s written on the handbook is recommended an

improvement.
