Keywords:
Performance, Values Education, GRMC, Culture, Knowledge, Attitudes, PracticesAbstract
This study aimed to identify performance in Values Education/GMRC and its relationship to the knowledge, attitudes and practices related to culture particularly on a) self-dignity, b) human relations, c) economy, and d) religion of selected first to fourth year students of Samar National School, Catbalogan, Samar during the SY 1993-1994. The evaluate-correlational survey was used. In this study using questionnaires on knowledge, attitudes and practices related to culture categorized into: self-dignity, human relations, economy and religion, developed by the researcher and tried out with the 200 students of Leyte National High School, Tacloban City for its validity. Students in all year levels have a good performance in the subject area of Values Education/GMRC. Those in higher year level have an edge over those in the lower year levels which is very negligible. Students in the lower year level have hazy concepts about self-dignity but as they go to higher levels. Concepts tend to be favorably enriched and changed. Students in lower levels have limited knowledge about human relations but begin to show interest in maintaining good relationships with peers and other people as they pursue higher year levels. For the recommendation, greater effort should be given to the teaching of Values Education/GMRC to students in all year levels. Lessons in the textbook should be enriched with situational and realistic activities which would allow students to participate freely and meaningfully.
