CONTENT ANALYSIS

Objective and Scope

This descriptive study that utilized quantitative approach determined the level of
Awareness of the District V High School Students in terms of knowledge, perception and
attitude.

Conclusion
This study reveals that majority of the respondents have a high level of
knowledge, average level of perception, high level attitude and an overall high level of
awareness on HIV/AIDS. It was also discovered that there is a significant difference
between the level of awareness junior high school and senior high school students has
and a significant difference between the level of awareness on HIV/AIDS between the
two schools composing District V – Science and Technology Education Center and
Marigondon National High School.

Recommendations
The proposed intervention plan be reviewed and implemented. A study may
include a symposium to provide wide arrays of knowledge and more variables to
correlate. Future researchers may consider getting a larger sample from the population,
conduct a pre and post test to measure the level of HIV/AIDS awareness. It is to
accurately measure and see the difference towards awareness.Experimental researches
can be considered that seek to evaluate interventions that may help improve a person’s
perception and attitude on the quality of knowledge and awareness on HIV/AIDS.
