I. Introduction and Rationale

Junior high school years are part of teenage life and such are the most crucial years one
will face since lot of pressures, crisis and personal constraints may occur at this stage.
High school students commonly desire to have fun with friends and at times, they tend to
indulge into vices as influenced by peers.
It is rare to find a school or an institution void of social vices. This depicts that they are
present in all educational centers – primary, secondary, and tertiary. Vices are common among
young males and females. Examples of these vices are: drug addiction, gambling, smoking and
other forms of social vices (https://informationparlour.com/article-education-common-social-
vices-schools-causes-effects-solutions).
The generation today is facing a great deal of vices like drug addiction, smoking,
computer games, social networking, gambling and drinking which has become more accessible
in public. Vices are common among high school students because of age and the independence
from parents. Vices will affect the productivity and effectiveness of a student, since it takes
time, concentration, and financial resources.
Per observation and even affirmed by researches, the most common vices practiced by
high school students include drinking liquor, smoking, gambling, drug addiction, and online
games addiction.
The use of alcohol in school campuses has been prevalent that it becomes a problem of
administrators and teachers. However, problems associated with both alcohol and other drug use
has escalated in recent years (Straus and Bacon as cited by Alberca, et al. 2010).
Another prevalent vice mentioned is smoking. The New Standard Encyclopedia (1988)
stated that cigarette smokers are much more likely to develop or to die from diseases such as
lung cancer. Thus, schools are trying to establish clear propaganda with their posters “This is a
smoke-free zone”.
Smoking and drinking share many detrimental effects on the life of a person.
Another form of vice is gambling which accordingly is a game of luck. People tend to
gamble due to a number of reasons. Some wish to win bigger amount of money, while some do it
for entertainment purposes. However, it becomes a problem when it is done too much and affect
other areas of a person’s life, like school, work and relationships (Institute for the Study of
Gambling and Commercial Gaming, 2009).

Simbulan, et al. (2019) cited that as a community of scholars, health professionals,

academics, and researchers, we reiterate our conviction that the drug problem in the Philippines is
multi-dimensional in character and deeply rooted in the structural causes of poverty, inequality and
powerlessness of the Filipino people. Contrary to the government’s position of treating the issues as
a problem of criminality and lawlessness, the drug problem must be addressed using a holistic and
rights-based approach, requiring the mobilization and involvement of all stakeholders. This is the
message and the challenge which we, as members of the Association of Pacific Rim Universities,
want to relay to the leaders, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and human rights advocates in
the region; we must all work together to protect and promote health and well-being of all
populations in our region.
Aside from what had been cited above, students are also prone to addiction to online
games. Students cut classes and stay in internet cafes, spend their money and time playing online
games.
These aforementioned vices are what had been observed to be prevalent among the junior
high school students of Liloy National High School. Vices are usually associated with a
transgression in a person's character or temperament, thus, it could alter students’ classroom
behavior and students’ attitude towards school work.
Defining those mentioned variables, attitude is a feeling, belief, or opinion of approval or
disapproval towards something. Behavior is an action or reaction that occurs in response to an
event or internal stimuli” (Savitha and Kannadas,2014.)
As mentioned in the study of Lardizabal, et. al, (1992) the following are the most
common problems or annoyance met by the teachers which are attributed to the pupils:
inattention, whispering, laughing, giggling, clowning, joking, playing, talking discourteous
language, cheating, lying, stealing, defiance, impertinence, stubbornness, malicious destruction
of property, physical attack and bullying.
On the contrary, Sirano (1999) believed that there are factors that influence misbehavior
of the child, such as: the child’s training at home, order of birth, family size, sibling relationship,
parent child relationship, typical parental attitude, home setting and family roles. These different
factors are crucial in the development of the child’s behavior and personality including their
attitude towards the accomplishment of tasks in school. It is the job of the teacher to employ
some techniques wherein the interest of the pupils will be aroused and they will be motivated to
do their tasks.
Jansenn and O’brien mentioned on the interplay among motivation, ability, attitudes, and
behaviour in the accomplishment of homework, and other tasks required in school. In their study
on the above premise, they analysed data collected from six hundred eighty-seven (687) students
enrolled in seven economics courses. A model explaining homework and examination scores is
estimated, and separate analyses of ability and motivation groups are conducted. They found out
that motivation affects homework score, but not examination score. Given that homework is the
strongest predictor of examination score, they concluded that graded homework is beneficial to
learning, and attitudes and behaviour are related to school tasks. Attitude towards school work is
also linked with classroom behaviour of the students.
They further commented that teachers should reach out to students. This means helping
students to cooperate. It is changing of negative attitude to positive classroom behavior.
It is on this context that the researchers came to realize and agreed to study further on the
possible effect of vices to students’ classroom behavior and their attitude towards school work as
well as to their academic performance.

II. Literature Review

This chapter provides review of literature and includes conducted studies that are relevant
to the present research investigation.

The World Health Organization expert committee on mental health defines alcoholism as
a chronic illness, psychic or somatic or psychosomatic which manifests as disorder or behavior.
It is characterized by repeated drinking of alcoholic beverages to an extent that exceeds
customary dietary use or compliance with drinker’s health or his socio-economic functioning
(WHO,1995).
Improved research and more precise data have revealed that the adverse health
consequences of drug use are more severe and widespread than previously thought. Globally,
some 35 million people are estimated to suffer from drug use disorders and who require
treatment services, according to the latest World Drug Report, released today by the United
Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
In 2017, an estimated 271 million people, or 5,5 per cent of the global population aged
15-64, had used drugs in the previous year. While this is similar to the 2016 estimate, a longer-
term view reveals that the number of people who use drugs is now 30 per cent higher than it was
in 2009. Although that increase was in part due to a 10 per cent growth in the global population
aged 15-64, data now shows a higher prevalence of the use of opioids in Africa, Asia, Europe
and North America and the use of cannabis in North America, South America and Asia
compared with 2009 (Vienna, 2019)
With regards to smoking, Republic Act 9211 or known as “Tobacco Regulation Act of
2003, is the law that controls the use of tobacco and cigarettes. One of the features of the said
law is that smoking is prohibited in places like schools, colleges and universities, in elevators,
stairways, within the buildings and premises of public and private hospitals or medical centers, in
public conveyances and facilities such as airports and ship terminals, trains and bus stations and
others. This law implicitly affirms the danger of tobacco smoking (Health and Home, 2005).
Despite of government warnings, prevalence of tobacco use among adults continues to
rise from 37.7% in 1999 to 34.8% in 2003. More than half or 56% of adult males and 12% of
adult females are current smokers while 19.6% of adolescents smoke (The Philippine National
Police Journal third quarter, 2008.)
Bien and Burge (2009) stated that smoking and drinking share many detrimental effects,
some of which operate synergistically. Over 90% of alcoholic inpatients are smokers, with
similar findings regarding outpatients. In the general population, the relationship between
smoking and drinking appears positive but modest. Nicotine appears to facilitate ethanol
consumption and vice versa. While ample theoretical viewpoints exist to explain the covariance
of alcohol and cigarette consumption, conclusive data supporting one or another of these views
are lacking. The assumption that alcoholics should be discouraged from quitting smoking as well
as drinking is without empirical basis. Research should ascertain whether problem drinkers with
greater positive association between alcohol and smoking benefit differentially from quitting
both.
Carandang, et. al. (2016) mentioned that alcohol is a drug that is capable of elevating the
levels of five of the neurotransmitters that influence how we think, feel, and behave.
 4

They further stated that alcohol raises the level of serotonin and glutamate and can create
that feeling of ecstasy and euphoria through its effects on dopamine. The other neurotransmitter
affected is endocannabinoid, which has been linked to mood, appetite, pain and memory. It is
this harmony of pleasurable sensations that can lead to problems in addiction, particularly for
those who are genetically predisposed to addiction.
Sun and Shek (2012) stated that student misbehaviors such as disruptive talking, chronic
avoidance of work, clowning, interfering with teaching activities, harassing classmates, verbal
insults, rudeness to teacher, defiance, and hostility, ranging from infrequent to frequent, mild to
severe, is a thorny issue in everyday classroom. Teachers usually reported that these disturbing
behaviours in the classroom are intolerable and stress-provoking , and they had to spend a great
deal of time and energy to manage the classroom . Obviously, student misbehaviours retard the
smoothness and effectiveness of teaching and also impede the learning of the student and his/her
classmates. Moreover, research findings have shown that school misbehaviour not only escalated
with time but also lowered academic achievement and increased delinquent behaviour.
Behavior problems in school interfere with lessons and disturb other pupils. Behavior
problems often overwhelm teachers, particularly the new ones, and some consider this to
represent the most difficult aspect of the teachers’ workday. Pupils who exhibit behavior
problems invariably require extra attention which places strain on teachers and shows the pace at
which lessons are taken and completed. Behavior problems sometimes lead to aggression
towards fellow pupils.
As stated in the study of Ornstein (1992) pupil misbehavior in class can create great
anxiety, both fatigue, and even fear for some teachers. The teachers should know the pupils and
the cause of the pupils’ poor work and behavior quickly. Serious incidents do not just happen,
anxieties collect and build up. The teacher who has a common sense, emotional maturity, and
good professional training can translate the pupils’ inappropriate behavior into better efforts
before his or her behavior becomes threatening or uncontrollable and before direct actions is
needed.
It is difficult to classify behavioral problems of children because several factors are
involved in each type of misdemeanor. Factors like home environment, poor training and
upbringing, desire for attention, lack of self-control, weak personality of the teacher, autocratic
procedures in the classroom, problem parents need to be considered before an offense can be
considered serious or less serious.
As a classroom teacher for a couple of years, the researcher has experienced different
types of classroom misbehavior of pupils which are stressful and frustrating, thus there is a need
to slowly solve this common teacher concern. Pupils’ classroom misbehavior is the worst
problem confronting the teachers every day and this adversely affected the teachers’
effectiveness. In order to have a baseline data on the above variables, this study is conceived of.
Adeyeye ( 2011) conducted a study on “Cigarette Smoking Habits Among Senior
Secondary School Students” in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria. His findings revealed that the
respondents, in addition to smoking cigarette abuse other substances. According to the Centre for
Disease Control, tobacco, marijuana and alcohol use are gateway drugs and when younger
children use them they are often more likely to abuse cocaine and heroin.
The mean quantity of cigarette smoked was 3.7 sticks per day. The reasons given for
cigarette smoking were peer group influence, curiosity and desire to express maturity. Factors
encouraging sustenance of the habit were more frequently a search for pleasure and to reduce
stress. Having parents, friends or siblings who are smokers also increase the likelihood of
 5

smoking among the students. In conclusion, the prevalence of cigarette smoking among
secondary school students in Lagos is on the increase and it is very important that aggressive
antismoking campaigns backed by effective legislations be put in place to reduce this trend.
Gaete, et. al. (n.d.) in their study on the influence of school-related factors smoking
among children adolescents, found out that as far as school factors are concerned, it is important
to distinguish between individual (students) and contextual (school) influences. Studies
analysing individual data have found that increased risk for smoking is associated with poor
academic performance, low educational aspirations and low school commitment, school
disengagement and poor teacher-student relationships, and school smoking restrictions were
effective, but only if they were appropriately enforced .
Several authors have found significant intra-school correlations in smoking onset,
monthly smoking prevalence and the number of cigarette smoked per day, which could be
related to the characteristics of the students within each school or other school contextual
features. Those studies exploring contextual effects using multilevel modelling have found that
schools with a combination of higher performance and less truancy, schools receiving social
assistance and mixed sex or vocational high schools had a higher risk for smoking.
The results of the study conducted by Pengpid, et. al. (2009) entitled “Alcohol Use and
Associated Factors Among Adolescent Students in Thailand” indicated the prevalence of current
alcohol use was 14.8% (21.2% males and 9.3% females). Variables positively associated with
the outcome in multivariable analysis among boys were older age, other substance use (smoking
and illicit drug use), sex in the past 12 months, physical fighting, injury in the past twelve (12)
months; and among girls, poverty, smoking, physical fighting and lack of parental or guardian
connectedness. In conclusion, efforts to prevent and control alcohol misuse may need to address
a cluster of risk behaviours including cigarette smoking.
Savitha , et. al. (2014) found out based on the results of their study that attitude does not
directly predict behaviours. There has been lots of debate on the link between attitude and
behaviour in the arena of consumer behaviours. With the purpose of solving problem it is
frequently needed to forecast or predict people’s behaviours. “Attitude could explain human
actions”, in the current scenario, changes happen in each and every aspect of life either in the
way of living or in the way we react. On such changes if the result of the same is good we term it
as ‘Positive change’ and on the other side is the ‘Negative change’. Students, either in school
level or college level undergo changes periodically as yesterday invention is today obsolete. So
the trend of changes directly impacts the students as they hold the future of the country. In the
below study the researcher has described the changes that happens on the attitudes of the
students hence they respond through their behaviours very briefly. Many have argued that
attitudes are more likely to be unrelated or only slightly related to behaviours because the early
theories present the relationship between attitudes and behaviours as a one way association. But
if attitudes themselves were affected or influenced by past behaviours, the connection must be
more intricate.
The findings of the study of Taheri, et. al (n.d.) disclosed that among the nine hundred
thirty six (936) students included in the study, 44.6% were male and 55.4% were female . The
effects of various independent variables on the prevalence rate of cigarette smoking were
investigated, and odds ratios were calculated. The overall prevalence of cigarette smoking was
9.8% with significant differences in prevalence by gender; 17.6% among males and 4.2% among
females.
 6

Tiwari (n.d.) also conducted a study on classroom behavior problems at the secondary
school level, states that the teacher plays an important role in the process of education. In real
classroom situations, teachers come across numerous behavior problems. The behavior problem
refers to deviation from certain pre–set rules and regulations of the schools. The various behavior
problems in the classroom can be enlisted as follows- bullying, fighting, teasing, stealing,
truancy, disobedience and insubordination, lying, cheating, lateness, rudeness, destructiveness,
drug or alcohol addiction. There are various factors that cause behavior problems in the
classroom such as mass media, school or family. Classroom behavior problems affect the
teaching learning process as it influences teacher’s ability and competence in handling the
classroom environment. Present study is an empirical study with a view to identify the behavior
problem of the students and to explore different techniques or strategies that teacher employ to
deal with such problems.

research methods used, sampling, data collection, ethical issues, plan for data analysis, time
table, cost estimates, plans for dissemination and advocacy, and statistical treatment of data.

A. Sampling
The study will utilize stratified random sampling wherein the respondents of the study are the
junior high school students in Liloy National High School shall be grouped according to their
respective curriculums or grade levels. The study shall have 130 respondents divided evenly per
curriculum.

B. Data Collection
In collecting data, the researchers will secure a list of students enrolled in each grade
curriculum which will be utilized to select the sample population. To ensure randomization, the
researchers will assign numbers to the respective lists and to the names of the students. The
researchers will then obtain the total sample of 130 junior high school students of Liloy National
High School. Once the subjects are identified, they will be given a questionnaire to be filled
accordingly for data collection. Once the data has been collected, it will be processed and
analyzed through the use of various statistical treatments with the aid of Statistical Package for
 8

Social Sciences (SPSS). Interpretation will follow right after the analysis in which the
researchers will give out recommendations.

C. Ethical Issues
Since the participants are still minors, they will be given parents’ consent to be filled out by
their parents or guardians. This will ensure that their rights of self-determination and human
dignity will be observed properly. The data collected will be treated by the researchers with
extra-care in observance to the confidentiality principle as well as the participants’ identities will
remain anonymous due to the nature and the sensitivity of the data.

D. Plan for Data Analysis

This research will employ the quantitative type of study. The researchers will acquire the
data through the use of questionnaire which will be then subjected to various analysis through
different statistical tests. The researchers plan to determine the prevalence of vices among Junior
High School students’ in Liloy National High School through the different demographic profiles
of the students. To determine the prevalence, the researchers will utilize percentage and
frequency distribution since the data is a categorical data: The formula is shown below:

1. To answer problem number 1, Frequency Count and Simple Percentage will be used.
2. To answer problems 2, 4 and 6, Likert’s Method of Determining the Weighted Mean
will be used:
