Moral Virtues, Social Values and Academic Behaviour of Students

This study surveyed the impacts of moral virtues and social values formation on academic behavior of the secondary students of Ubay District I, II and III, Ubay Bohol in terms of its demographic profile (age, sex, and grade level). There are 100 students, 100 teachers, and 100 parents who participated in the survey. The researcher utilized descriptive survey method & correlational designs. Students’ Moral Virtues, Social Values, and Academic Behaviour were measured using an adapted questionnaire authored by Arlinda Ramasola (2006) and Boris Zezik (2019) using modified checklist. Results were then subjected to Pearson correlational analysis to determine the relationship between the students’ academic behaviour and moral virtues. Sufficient evidence of a significant relationship between the students’ academic behaviour and moral virtues, thus reject the null hypothesis. This infers that relationship between students’ academic behaviour and moral virtues are associated with each other. Results were then subjected to Pearson correlational analysis to determine the relationship between the students’ academic behaviour and social values. It divulged sufficient evidence of a significant relationship between the students’ academic behavior and social values, thus rejecting the null hypothesis. In school, competition is not a measure of a student’s learning or achievements, but rather how they behave with others. Students’ moral virtues, social values, and academic behaviour are not linked to their profile; they must prioritize their academic behaviour to develop academic motivation. There is a correlation between academic behaviour and moral attributes in students. Moreover, students’ ability to learn is a human phenomenon that everyone possesses. A harmonious relationship and good output in the learning process must observe collaborative learning in both teaching setups. Teachers have a vital role in students’ overall school adjustment, and they demonstrate the value of considering many perspectives and levels of analysis. As a result, moral virtues should always be emphasized while evaluating student academic performance. Furthermore, a proposed intervention was redesigned by the researcher based on the format of Public School to meet the solution of the problem.
