Chapter I
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
In today's rapidly changing world, Spiritual well-being is the process

of unraveling the dynamic nature of the bond between the person and the
creator, the relationship is quite harmonious depending on self-
development that is carried out intentionally. It is essential among students
in their pursuit of meaning and beliefs. However, in Kalayaan National High
School, values and religious education are less focused, compromising
students' spiritual well-being. Thus, this study assessed the degree of
spiritual well-being of senior high school students of Kalayaan National
High School in terms of religious and existential well-being. Moreover, it
also helps form the values that will lead them to the holistic improvement of
their well-being. However, acknowledging and addressing the spiritual
needs of students is essential for nurturing their overall growth and
resilience.
Kalayaan National High School, like many educational institutions, is

tasked with not only imparting knowledge but also fostering the well-being
of its students. Among these students are those enrolled in Grade 11
Humanities and Social Sciences (HumSS), a pivotal stage in their academic
journey where they are navigating through various personal, social, and
academic challenges. Amidst this transformative period, understanding the
spiritual well-being of Grade 11 HumSS students becomes imperative to
provide them with comprehensive support. Thus, values formation among
this school is necessary and should be strengthened to guarantee the
formation and development of the learners' spiritual well-being.

Fortunately, in terms of the curricular subjects in Kalayaan National

High School, Grade 11 Senior high school students have religion-related
subjects like "Introduction to World Religions and Belief Systems". This
subject introduces them to the importance of religion and spirituality in their
lives as students and as persons (Department of Education [DepEd], 2016).
The spiritual well-being of individuals encompasses their sense of purpose,
meaning, and connection to something greater than themselves. It
encompasses their beliefs, values, and experiences that contribute to their
inner peace, resilience, and fulfillment. For Grade 11 HumSS students,
whose studies often delve into complex societal issues, exploring their
spiritual well-being offers valuable insights into how they navigate
existential questions, ethical dilemmas, and personal growth.
This research specifically examining this aspect among Grade 11

HumSS students at Kalayaan National High School. Therefore, this study
seeks to address this gap by comprehensively exploring the spiritual well-
being of Grade 11 HumSS students. By examining factors such as their
perceptions, beliefs, cultural backgrounds, social relationships, and
academic experiences, this research aims to shed light on the challenges
and supports that influence their spiritual well-being.
The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable insights

for educators, counselors, and policymakers in Kalayaan National High
School, as well as the broader educational community. By understanding
and addressing the spiritual needs of Grade 11 Humss students, schools
can create environments that foster not only academic excellence but also
holistic well-being and personal growth. Ultimately, this research aims to
contribute to the creation of more supportive and inclusive educational
environments that nurture the whole person.

Statement of the Problem
This research study investigates the current state of spiritual well-being in

senior high schools, focusing on Grade 11 HumSS – Students in KNHS.Despite
the growing recognition of its importance, pedagogical frameworks in senior
high schools lack comprehensive understanding of spiritual practices, leading to
psychological discomfort, purposelessness, and alienation among students.
The study also discusses relevant literature and research findings.
1. What is the current level of spiritual well-being among Grade 11 HUMSS

students at Kalayaan National High School?
1.1 Flourishing and deeply connected to inner peace and purpose.

1.2 Stable, with occasional moments of reflection and growth.
1.3 Struggling, feeling disconnected and in need of guidance and support.
2. What factors contribute to the spiritual well-being or lack thereof among

these students?
3. How do socio-demographic variables such as gender, socioeconomic status,

and religious affiliation influence spiritual well-being?

Scope and Delimitation
Spiritual well-being significantly influences students at Kalayaan

National High School (KNHS), enhancing their mental and
emotional health, fostering a sense of purpose, inner peace, and
resilience. Students with strong spiritual well-being often experience
lower stress levels, improved coping abilities, and increased life
satisfaction. Furthermore, it promotes a supportive community and
positive relationships among students, teachers, and staff,
ultimately improving the overall school environment.
This study focuses on the significant and diverse impact of

spiritual well-being on Grade 11 students in the Humanities and
Social Sciences (HumSS) track at Kalayaan National High School
(KNHS). It aims to investigate how spiritual well-being influences
their mental and emotional health, stress levels, coping
mechanisms, and life satisfaction within the school environment. By
concentrating on Grade 11 HumSS students, the research seeks to
uncover insights into how spiritual well-being shapes their
experiences, attitudes, and relationships at KNHS. Understanding
these dynamics can guide targeted interventions and support
systems to enhance students' overall well-being and academic
success within the HumSS track. The study specifically examines
the financial resources allocated by KNHS for spiritual activities
tailored to Grade 11 HumSS students, including funds for religious
clubs, retreats, seminars, guest speakers, an related initiatives
aimed at nurturing spiritual well-being in this grade level and
educational track.
