Implementation, Advancing Brilliance in Character (ABC), Program, BehaviorAbstract
This study determined the effect of the Advancing Brilliance in Character (ABC) program in the behaviour and academic performance of Grade V pupils in the District of Gandara II- Matuguinao during the school year 2008-2009. This study employed the descriptive research design intended to determine the effectiveness of character education programs and teachers’ competence in teaching the subject to grade V pupils. The subjects of the study were based on the seven core values as follows: health/harmony, truth/tolerance, love and goodness, sustainable human development, global spirituality, peace/justice, and nationalism/globalism. The result of the t-test for comparing the perceptions of the teachers and parents on the extent to which the pupil-respondents manifest the core values along health and harmony, truth and tolerance, sustainable human development, global spirituality, peace and justice, nationalism and globalism was not significant. In terms of the comparison of the teachers and parents on the extent to which the pupil-respondents manifest the core values along love and goodness was significant. A very satisfactory performance was achieved by the pupil-respondents as perceived by the teachers and parents on the extent to which the pupils manifest the seven core values along: health and harmony, truth and tolerance, love and goodness, sustainable human development, global spirituality, peace and justice, and nationalism and globalism. There is a need to enhance the teaching-learning competencies of teachers handling the character education subject.
