CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Backround of the Study
High school students are expected to follow a set of rules and regulations that are
established by their school administration. School rules and regulations represent
important control mechanisms to which students conform to (Babasa, 2018). These
rules and regulations are put in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all students,
as well as to create a positive learning environment.
According to the research conducted by Fekadu in the year 2019 around 33.1% of the
students had a negative perception of school rules and regulations about promoting
good behavior, whereas 66.9% of them had a positive perception. In fact here in Bo.
Obrero National High School an initial survey shows that 12 out 20 are aware about
engaging in discrimination, or leading a group of pupils or students to discriminate
another, with reference to one’s physical appearance, weaknesses and status of any sort
is strictly prohibited according to the memo of DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2012. In essence
learners shall have the duties and responsibilities However, the effectiveness of these
rules and regulations largely depends on the level of awareness and understanding that
students have about them. It is important for students to be aware of the rules and
regulations in order to avoid disciplinary action, as well as to promote a culture of

respect and responsibility within the school community. Despite the importance of being
aware of school rules and regulations, studies have shown that many high school
learners are not fully aware of the rules and regulations that apply to them. This lack of
awareness can lead to unintentional violations of school policies, as well as more serious
infractions that can result in disciplinary action.
Therefore, it is important to conduct this research to determine the level of awareness
on school rules and regulations among learners.

Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the level of awareness on school rules and regulations
among learners. Specifically, it aims to answer the following questions:
1. What is the demographics profile of respondents in terms of sex and age?
2. What is the level of awareness on school rules and regulations among learners?
When grouped according to age and sex?
3. Is there a significant difference between the level of awareness on school rules
and regulations when grouped according to age and sex?
Hypothesis
There is no significant difference between the level of awareness on school rules
and regulations among learners when grouped according to age and sex.
Significance of the study
School rules and regulations is necessary for the students to follow the rules and
regulations for them to learn how to be obedient, responsible, honest and be
disciplined even if it’s the not in the school premises.
Therefore, this study is seen significant to the following:
Learners. In a particular, a learner can be more discipline and responsible of
their action. And be more aware on rules that may affect the learners within the
school community.
Teachers. This study will be conducted to teachers since it will help educators
and school administrators identify potential areas for improvement in
communication, enforcement, discipline and education regarding school rules
and regulations.
Future Researchers. The findings of this study will be guide as reference for
future studies and can be utilized as an empirical basis on foundation of their
respective studies.
Parents and Guardians. This could help them to understand the level of
awareness on school rules and regulation of their children.

Scope and Limitation of the study
The respondents in this study will be the randomly 50 selected students of Bo.
Obrero National High School who are enrolled in School Year 2023- 2024. The
researcher will use a Descriptive-survey research design. This design will be use
when the study wants to know the present phenomena in terms of conditions,
practices, beliefs, processes, ralationships, or trends Descriptive-survey research
uses survey to gather data about the varying subjects. According to Dr. Y.P
Aggarwal (2008) descriptive research is devoted to the gathering of information
about prevailing conditons or situation for the purpose of description and
interpretation to gather the specified data and the researcher will use a
researcher-made questionnare will undergo validation and pilot-testing. This
research will only be limited and conducted at Bo. Obrero National High School.
Furthermore, this study can be a great help to the future researchers to improve
their own study.

Definition of Terms
For the purpose of clarity and understanding, the following terms were specified their
conceptual and operational definitions.
 Awareness – Knowledge or perception of a situation or fact (Oxford English
Dictionary, n.d).
In this study, it refers to the ability of the learners to notice or heed the school
rules and regulations.
 Rules – A prescribed guide for conduct or action (Merriam – Webster Dictionary,
n.d).
In this study, it refers to the law or regulations in school that the learners
should be aware of.
 Regulations – A rule or order issued by an executive authority or regulatory
agency of a government and having the force of law (Merriam – Webster
Dictionary, n.d.)

school should be aware of.
 Learner – A person who is learning a subject or skill. (Oxford English Dictionary,
n.d.)

learners
Chapter II
Review of Related Literature
FOREIGN STUDIES
This chapter present the RRL studies which have being on the present
studies.
In the study conducted by Kwayu, (2014), they recommend that school rules and
regulations need to be emphasized. Additionally, the study findings revealed that most
of students were aware that school rules and regulations encouraged cooperation and
harmony in school. Others studies conducted by Atenya and Wekesa, (2020), shows
that the most violated school rules and regulations were theft, fighting, quarelling and
destruction of school property. This is because some school rules and regulations are
not clear to the students while others are rigid. The study equally revealed that
disciplinary measures conditioned students to behave in a certain manner without
molding their character given the high number of repeated mistakes after punishment.
The study recommends that school rules and regulations be reviewed to accommodate
disciplinary measures such as suspension and replacement of stolen items be repealed
and that students be involved at formulation level. In addition study conducted by
Sichon and Guhao, (2020), suggests that parental involvement is essential to student
discipline; schools should be steadfast in the implementation; be positive and

constructive; teachers need understanding and support; and discipline should be
relevant and pertinent.
