 CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

The Lewis College is an institution built to provide students a comfortable and healthy

place to learn and develop, as well as for the teachers and parents; a community based system

enclosed to maintain sanity and wellness for each of the individual. Nowadays discipline in

maintaining an environment clean and organized is only observed through rules and routines,

which is hardly achieved of the students if not monitored. Even though a regular maintenance is

done by the housekeeping department and the round checks, trash can are seen everywhere some

students can’t comply to “No littering, No loitering” rule posted throughout the buildings.

This study will discuss further for the investigation and a give out solution for the

betterment of the practicality of the condition. The study aims to tackle the state of the condition

and give underlying solutions to the problem seen, the researchers are to find new ways or

maintain and monitor the existing system in conserving the institution clean and safe. The impact

of this will last long-term and shoulder the students, faculties of teachers and parents; another

thing to highlight is the canteen and the cleanliness of their area.

SHORT INTRODUCTION/ BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
YOU ARE GPING TO STUDY. THUS, IT IS REQUIRED TO
RESEARCH SOME ARTICLES REGARDING THIS ATLEAST 3-5
ARTICLES THAT CAN SERVE AS A GLIMPSE OF THE STUDY.
Statement of the Problem

This study aims to answer the following questions and promote cleanliness throughout the

campus:

1. What are the lacking strategies or means of no littering policy of TLC?

specifications and the process are similar in the study that should be considered, the regulations

and rules are to be monitored and to investigate further understanding on the situation.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES

Foreign Literature

(Rouse, 2017) states that the guidelines, specifications and the process are similar in the study

that should be considered, the regulations and rules are to be monitored and to investigate further

understanding on the situation. Compliance is either a state of being in accordance with

established guidelines or specifications, or the process of becoming so. Software, The definition

of compliance can also encompass efforts to ensure that organizations are abiding by both

industry regulations and government legislation.

(Oxford, 2017) states that a student that is described is of higher education in the study it

comprises basic education from Kindergarten Basic Education to College of higher education.

Students. A person who is studying at a university or other place of higher education.

RRL, MUST BE LENGTHY. ADD MORE INFORMATIONS AND CORRECT THE

PROPER WAY OF CITING THE PERSONS

THERE IS A PLAGIARIZED SENTENCE= THE RED ONE.

Local Literatures

(MMDA,2017) states that there are rules and regulation posed and to be followed by the Filipino

citizens even though the study comprises only the students, faculties and personnel in TLC they

are still Filipino Citizens that should conform to the acts and notice given by the government

authority.

Littering rules. The Anti-Littering Law is MMDA Regulation No. 96-009 entitled, "prohibiting

surroundings and providing penalties for violation thereof", which was enacted into law by the

Metro Manila Council on the 22nd Day of August, 1996. The regulation was amended on May 6,

1999 byMMDA Regulation No. 99-006.

The Anti-Littering Law prohibits the following acts: Littering, Illegal dumping and illegal

statement of the problem stated in Chapter I that is appropriate for it to use that will comply with

the objective of the research.

This section will further discuss the means of strategic development towards achieving

the objective.

Research Design

The Research Design specifically tackle the technique of research going to be used,

resources to be used and the procedure of data collection specifically survey and examination of

the gathered data.

The researchers will apply Qualitative Descriptive Design to gather data. Through this,

the researchers will be able to understand and analyse the problem with underlying solutions

with the connection to the statement of the problem.

Population Sampling

The target population for this research defined to include the grade 12 students with the

divided it by sections and grade levels. It is the requirement of this research study about the
Compliance of students on the littering policy in The Lewis College.

The extent of littering of the students occurrences was identified, the questionnaire
contained indication of the specific cause of littering based on the respondents answer. The
respondents were requested to evaluate, based on their perceptions such as no strict
implementation of rules, there are no enough trash cans, not disciplined enough, no sanctions
given to those who do not throw properly, others and recommendations about how to lessen the
littering of the students.

The questionnaire has two questions and one recommendation about the behavioural
actions of students in littering in The Lewis College. The question was focus on the perceptions
of the students for being not responsible in their trash. The recommendation is about the opinions
of the students that the institution should be strict in implementing rules in The Lewis College.

 CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND

RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary, findings, conclusions, and recommendations based
from the analysis and interpretation of the gathered data in this study.

SUMMARY

The Researchers studies the compliance of The Lewis College Students to littering
policy. According to the findings of results from conducted survey questionnaires the students
sometimes throw their garbage in the cans. Followed the result always then never. The result
problem encountered according to the population is disciplinary related factor followed by issues
of strict implementation of rules, no sanctions given, matter about supply of trash cans and other
matters. Recommendations are varied stated.

TO SHORT? THERE IS NO DETAILS ?

FINDINGS

Based from our survey in figure 1, it shows that almost half of the students rarely throw
their garbage with the percentage of 54% followed by 44% of students who regularly throw their
garbage and in all of our respondents there is only one who admitted that he/she never thrown
their trash with a percentage of 2%.

As shown in Figure 2 of what the researchers gathered The majority problem encountered
by the students in throwing their garbage is no strict implementation of rules in The Lewis
College with a percentage of 46%. So therefore the institution must be aware of the students
perspective for the sake of the institution and the ones who are included in the school.

GOOD BUT ADD MORE

CONCLUSION

Due to behavioral impact to students their ability to comply their responsibilities in littering
rules are not achieved. Certain matters and possible means are stated to root the plausible reason.
Being responsible to the environment as much as we do to ourselves should be on top of our
priority. We all know that cases like this are not easily avoided therefore we should not tolerate it
that will result to further damages instead we should now start preserving simple ways to keep
our place clean. There are still indirect impacts to the students that sometimes caused them to be
undisciplined that is why this study will help them to know what is and what should not be.

ADD MORE

RECOMMENDATION

The study was conducted successfully but still for future studies that seek deeper,
elaborated and more accurate information the researchers should have the authority to implement
a school year monitory, this time frame shall prove and give them daily checking and
maintenance as well. Not only this will gradually help the school keep their environment safe but
grow the students with proper influence and discipline.
