Introduction of the study

The Learning skills of the students are deteriorating. In Turkey, there are

many various causes that many students in turkey complain during the

comprehending stage of listening texts they also aim to examine the frequency of the

problem seen in three listening categories of the problem based on teachers, the

problems based on students own strategies and the problem based on learner

psychology (Elsevier Lid 2015). In manila, a teacher expressed its thought that the

students she teaches were becoming louder and ruder than before, she also stated

that they seldom listen in class (Queena N. Lee-Chua 2012). In Malaybalay, the

hardest part of listening is figuring out how to process information or input before the

speaker stops speaking (Joanne B and Fatima Joy A, 2022). Thus, the researchers

want to investigate the factors affecting the learning skills of the students.

Research Objectives

1. To identify the level of deviancy being experienced by the grade 6 students in

terms of:

1.1 Environmental Influence

1.2 Etiquette as student

2. To identify the state of learning skills by the grade 6 students

In terms of:

2.1 Active Listening skills

2.2 Decision-making skills

3. To know if there is a significant relationship between Deviancy and the Learning

skills of the Grade Six (6) students.

Hypothesis of the study

The hypothesis of this study will be tested at 0.05 level of significance, stating

that there is no significant relationship between Deviancy and the Learning skills of

the Grade Six (6) students.

Theoretical concepts

This study is anchored on the theory of Differential-association theory about

deviancy, the environment plays a major role in deciding which norms people learn

to violate. Specifically, people within a particular reference group provide norms of

conformity and deviance, and thus heavily influence the way other people look at the

world, including how they react. People also learn their norms from various

socializing agents parents, teachers, ministers, family, friends, co‐workers, and the

media. In short, people learn criminal behavior, like other behaviors, from their

interactions with others, especially in intimate groups.

This is supported by Noam Chomsky the Cognitivism Theory. They assert that

behavior and learning entail more than just response to environmental stimuli and

require rational thought and active participation in the learning process (Clark, 2018).

Cognitivists are interested in the specific functions that allow the brain to store,
recall, and use information, as well as in mental processes such as pattern

recognition and categorization, and the circumstances that influence people’s

attention (Codington-Lacerte, 2018).

Lastly, Sutherland (1939) theory stated that deviancy does not specifically

affect the students' Learning skills through interaction with other persons in a

process of communication. It shows that there are other factors affecting the

students learning skills.
