The study was primarily conducted to determine the significant impact of

the school discipline to the behavior of the criminology students. Specifically, it
aimed to know the profile of the respondents in terms of: age, sex; level of the
implementation of school discipline in terms of: administrative enforcement,
classroom policies, faculty involvement; level of the impact of school discipline to
the student’s behaviors in terms of: performance, character, efficiency; and if
there is a significant degree of relationship between implementation of school
discipline to the behavior of the criminology students.

There were one hundred three (103) respondents in which majority of the
respondents were male which covers 69.90% of the total number of
respondents and most of the respondents were at the age of 18-22 and covers
69.96 % of the entire numbers of the respondents.it showed that the level of
implementation of school discipline in terms of administrative enforcement got a
total weighted mean of 3.33 interpreted as “always”; classroom policies got the
total weighted mean of
3.75 interpreted as “always” and faculty involvement got a total weighted mean of
2.92 interpreted as “sometimes”. The level of the impact of school discipline to
the student’s behaviors in terms of performance got the total weighted mean of
3.52 interpreted as “always’; character got a total weighted mean of 2.67
interpreted as “sometimes” and terms of efficiency got a total weighted mean of
3.11 interpreted as “sometimes”.
Person Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation test was used to
determine the relationship between the implementation of school discipline to the
behavior of criminology students. It was found out that the computed correlation
between the implementation of school discipline to the behavior of criminology
students r-value was 0.47 this indicated that there was substantial positive
correlation between tabular value of 0.193652. The computed r-value of
correlation 0.41 is higher than tabular value 0.193652 with 0.05 level of
significance with the value of 103df. It implies the null hypothesis was rejected.
Therefore, there is a significant relationship between the implementation of
school discipline to the behavior of criminology students.
