Introduction

As mentioned in the article of Fiona Guy (2014), in psychology and social

sciences, perception is the process of analyzing of sensory information within the brain. By using

one’s eye to observe, it collects the data from sense organs like eyes through the interpretation of

things, people or event made by the brain. Additionally, Cambridge Dictionary (2019) stated that

perception is a thought, belief, or opinion, often held by many people and based on appearances.

People often based their judgement or opinion by something or someone’s representation of

themselves. Moreover, Collins Dictionary (2019) believes that perception is the way that people

think about or the impression they have on something. We based on impression on how to judge

or how to see people in a different limelight.

Everyone have their own perception be it towards things, events or group of people. And

these perceptions have an impact to the lives of they, themselves or even people whom they

perceived. It might also affect the relationship of individuals to each other. According to Saylor

Academy (2012), perception is the recognition and interpretation of sensory stimuli based upon

our memory. Our perception is important to recognize because it is the driving force behind our

reaction to things,events or people. This study wants to know if the perception towards the

students really affects the relationship between them.

The perception that the researchers gathered were based on their own real experience,

personal observation and probed carefully in the internet. These perceptions were claims made

by the students themselves and some from the teachers. The researchers then arrived to a thought
 DR. FILEMON C. AGUILAR MEMORIAL COLLEGE OF LAS PIÑAS CITY
Golden Gate Subdivision Talon III, Las Piñas City

if these perceptions affected the relationship of BSA and BSBA students of Dr. Filemon C.

Aguilar Memorial College of Las Piñas City.

Some people are fond of socializing; some find it boring or lacked the enthusiasm to

socialize with others. This affects their relationship with other people. Socialize or not to

socialize, there must be a reason behind it. This study wants to know if the perception affects the

relationship of students. According to Saylor Academy (2012), the challenge with perception in

human relations is that we may not always understand someone else’s perception and/or assume

their perception is our own. This is where disagreements and other communication issues can

occur. For example, some BSBA students may think that other BSA students are arrogant or

boastful, and because of this, they might avoid them that will cause to a strained relationship.

The fact is relationship matter. Relationships with family, friends, teachers, mentors and

other supportive adults are a key factor in a student’s likelihood to succeed. By building these

strong relationships early on, students feel supported and important. Knowing they have a

support system they can rely on helps to boost their confidence and pushes them to

success, (Luna, 2015). Others may think that socializing or interacting with a student from a

different course seems ridiculous or irrelevant, why interact with students from other course if

you can already interact with your own course? Of course, having a good relationship with

students from other course is important. A positive relationship from one’s environment helps

them improve and specially communicating with their peers whom they spend a lot of time in

school.

According to American Institutes for Research (2019), students who feel connected to

school are more likely to succeed-- they have better school attendance, grades, and test scores

and stay in school longer. Building these relationships require perspectives that embrace positive

attitudes and beliefs, cultural and linguistic competence, an understanding of the needs and

experiences of students, and an understanding of the school environment. In other words, it is

vital to establish a good relationship with people around the school especially with schoolmate

who is in a different course.

Our relationships give meaning and richness to our work and to our lives. We all need a

community of people to share the joys and the struggles of organizing and making community

change. A little bit of camaraderie goes a long way (Axner, 2019).

Objective:

Filemon C. Aguilar Memorial College of Las Piñas City.

 To know the level of relationship of first year BSA and BSBA students of Dr. Filemon C.

Aguilar Memorial College of Las Piñas City.

thus, it makes the response first in the ranking. The second most frequent response is that BSBA

degree program is easy. The third ranking response is that BSBA students are humble with a

frequency of eight (8) out of thirty (30) inclusive. Two (2) responses have 4.5 fractional ranks.
