almost all students who are using the school restroom are lack of discipline. Only few of

METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH APPROACH AND DESIGN

A quantitative approach was followed. Quantitative research is a formal, objective,

systematic process to describe and test relationships and examine cause and effect
interactions among variables. Surveys may be used for descriptive, explanatory and
exploratory reseach design.
A descriptive survey design was used. A survey is used to collect original data for
describing a students perception to observe directly, A survey obtains information from
a sample of people by means of self-report, that is, the people respond to a series of
questions posed by the investigator. In this study the information was collected through
self-administered questionnaires distributed personally to the subjects by the
researcher. A descriptive survey was selected because it provides an accurate portrayal
or account of the characteristics, for example behavior, opinions, abilities, beliefs, and
knowledge of a particular individual, situation or group. This design was chosen to meet
the objectives of the study, namely to determine the knowledge and views of students
with regard to school comfort room and its maintenance.

RESEARCH SETTING AND STUDY POPULATION

The study was conducted at Lahug Night High School – Gorordo Avenue. Cebu City.
The students of Grade 11 Section Descartes,Socrates and Selected Grade 12 Students
were the respondents of this study.

A respondents Is defined as all elements (individuals, objects and events) that meet the
sample criteria for inclusion in a study. The study population consisted of 30 students
from Grade 11 and selected Grade 12 Students . Sample are elements selected with
the intention of finding out something about the total survey from which they are taken.
A convenient sample consists of subjects included in the study because they happen to
be in the right place at the right time. The sample included 30 students. Available
subjects were entered into the study.

DATA COLLECTION

A questionnaire was chosen as data collection instrument. A questionnaire is a printed
self-report form designed to elicit information that can be obtained through the written
responses of the subjects. The information obtained through a questionnaire is similar
to that obtained by an interview, but the questions tend to have less depth.

11Descartes ,Socrates and selected student of Grade 12 to complete. The data was
collected over a period of one day. The researcher found some students that are using
the school restroom and also found some of them are struggling to use the restrooms
evereveryd

CONCLUSION

As a study on the responses of Grade 11 and selected students of Grade12 students

towards the effects of Poor Sanitation of shool’s restroom, a lot of conclusions have
been made. Results show that students were still care for the restrooms.This is
probably due to the fact that students are aware of hygiene. We have noticed that many
students have their own vision regarding this problem but they have their own solutions
made by their selves. According to the answer of the respondents, most of them
showed up a good deed regarding to the issue. The value of this study is to develop
everyone’s importance on what is happening in his environment and be responsible
enough. We find that even with the research which has gone into this situation the
solution is held within each one of us, the opportunity to make a difference can be made
by each individual.

As students, we can only advise to the management of the school’s restroom to

enhance the restroom to a cleaner and more hygienic state. A simple provision of
continuous supply of water may help in proper usage of the restroom. In order to fulfill
this, we, students, also need to cooperate on proper maintenance of the school
restroom for the safety of all and for the next generation’s benefits.
RECOMMENDATIONS

• Restrooms renovations such as toilets /clog toilets to have greater comfort. A

fresh,attractive restrooms provides a more comfortable environment for the
students and eases their concerns that accompany using unsanitary or stale-
smelling facilities.

• Increasing natural light in school toilets help to improve the students well-being
and academic ability.Having school facilities with lots of windows can help to
bring the natural light in.

• School must provide well-designed school restrooms can enhance student

health,deter mis behavior and conserve resources.

• Get students involved in the cleaning efforts. Although it isn’t the responsibility of
students to clean the restrooms,most schools have a student council or other
form of students involvement committee that can bring awareness to restrooms
cleanliness concerns.

• Educate students. Educate students on proper hygienic procedures.
