This study focused to find out the factors that affect the behavior of JHS students
toward newly hired faculties. Three behavioral factors of new teachers were used by the
researchers as basis in assessing how students treat their new educators and these are:
teaching style, personality towards students, and moral obligations. By using random
sampling technique, 265 students were selected from JHS students of La Salle University
Integrated School and a survey was conducted in order to find out whether the behavioral
factors of new faculties that were identified really affect their behavior towards their new
teachers. Based on the analyzation of the accumulated data, it cannot be inferred that the
factors that were identified and employed by the researchers contribute a great extent on
the way students behave with their new educators. Of the three factors, none has a grand
mean with an interpretation of "agree". Overall, findings revealed that students neither
agree nor disagree whether their new faculties have good teaching style, pleasant

INTRODUCTION AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
I. Introduction
Behavior is the way on how one acts accordingly to his/her perception of life. It
varies from the influence of heredity, tradition, culture, and social environment as Jean-
Jacques Rousseau once said, “People in their natural state are basically good, however,
this natural innocence is corrupted by the evils of society”. Good mannerism is defined as
one of the principles on how we will exercise proper decency and decorum.
According to Nato (2018) “Some students present challenging behavior and require
extra support and intervention to address this behavior and to develop positive behavior”.
There are bad actions of certain students that need to be addressed or given importance.
In order to address this, the help of certain professionals is needed to develop positive
behavior because having a positive behavior affects your relationship in the society.
These professionals are capable to either let the people develop a good or bad behavior.
Behavior and its effects are basically associated with the world’s current state.
Throughout the millions and generations of humans produced, each individual behavior is
seen to be different and unique for one to distinguish a person by his/her own self.
Affected by the impact of the new wave today, the World Bank Group (2015) states,
“Ultimately, behavior change matters for all actors in the development process.” Whether
the positive or negative, behaviors likely adapt to the happenings of the environment. As
a result, physical, mental and social conditioning revolves especially towards the focus of
1
Moreover, according to Art Markman (2009), one's actions could affect other
individuals even if they simply see or perceive their measures. A person can set out an
example to other people in every action he/she will do. Although other people are not
conscious of the effect that an individual's behavior has had on them, this instance could
alter how they behave. In other words, one's behavior could greatly affect another, more
specifically a student's demeanor. Thus, this is true with the students in the Philippines as
how one student acts is contagious to the other student and how students behave together
Known as a catholic school, it aims to mold students through proper moral behavior. The
teachers play a major role in affecting the student’s way to act considering the various
factors that can influence the student’s demeanor. According to La Salle University
Students Handbook (2018), educators within the institution are adequate and well-trained
teachers, they are expected to produce students according to the standards of the school.
However, considering the fact that the new teachers are still adjusting or adapting, how
will they act towards the students considering their unfamiliarity on how the institution
endeavors to maximize and improve the behavior of Junior High School learners. Thus,
this research seeks to answer on what are the demeanors of Junior High School students

II. Review of Related Literature
The concept of behavior is associated with the different influences of the society.
Furthermore, teachers are one of the instruments in molding the students. Thus, the
A. Teaching Style
Every teacher has their own unique way of teaching students with that certain
topic. According to Gill (2013), “Every teacher has her or his own style of teaching and
as traditional teaching styles evolve with the advent of differentiated instruction, more
and more teachers are adjusting their approach depending on their students’ learning
needs”. The primary role of teachers is that they fit their teaching style unto what the
student’s approach on their learning needs. The learning needs of the student may vary
from what information or learning they want to learn from their teachers. In connection,
Gill (2013) states that it is really the skill of the teachers that helps the different needs of
current learners because, as the world progress, it offers them tons of information, that is
Persaud (2019) stated that teaching technique did not only base on the teaching
plan and methods garnered but also the utilization of rhetoric. An educator stuffed with
eloquence gives amazement to the students. In connection, the behavior of the students
tends to become cooperative because they tend to deeply understand the topic. It is not
always what we have to do is what we follow, and not everything we base is what we will

In relation to educators, the variety of how they make their students learn and how
are the students’ behavior towards them depends on way of how they embark their
lessons to the minds and hearts of the learners. This also states that the willingness of
such student also depends on the different aspects of teaching that they possess. To
emphasize, teachers have different backgrounds in life. Their way of teaching varies from
their life experiences and what they learned from it. The drive force of teaching is their
own passion and dedication to educate the students. Teaching styles may vary, but the
message behind each word they utter, gives a corresponding chain reaction to their
thoughts.
According to Nanda (2004) “Most teachers prefer to conduct their classes on the
discussion plan rather than the lecture plan. They feel the discussion plan is better
commonly prefer to conduct the discussion plan because they believed that it makes the
students to actively aid in class. The discussion plan includes the setting of clear
objectives. It is very useful to set clear objectives specially on group activities because
you have a systematize way of handling the activity. In addition, setting a practical
framework also enables students to be more enlightened with regards to the schedule of
activity they are doing. With this, Nanda (2004) stated, teachers must also remined
themselves that each student they are conducting alter different educational backgrounds,
Gill (2013) claims that the authority figure is educator-centered and often entails
long discourse. Thus, taking details and comprehending information is expected from the

learners. When a certain teacher discusses a topic with poise and authority, the learners
tend to listen more because the information disseminated is well delivered and as well as
the information easily sink-in to their mind. Poise with authority is the characteristic that
encouragement in taking down notes. The great thing about this nature is that this is
reason in contradicting this behavior. Educators around the world should adapt a strong
personality because in engaging to bigger institutions, the need of teaching with authority
is a must, because Niccolo Machiavelli (1969) once said, “It is better to be feared than
Facilitators promote self-learning and help students develop critical thinking skills
and retain knowledge that leads to self-actualization (Gill 2013). The Facilitator type of
teaching gives a big impact to aspiring students because it tends to encourage students to
learn on their own and as well as evolve the censorious thinking of students. The impact
of individual learning utilizes the key in becoming accomplished in life. With these kinds
whole new generation of competent students. Thus, new instructors should empower
students in becoming successful in life. In addition, this also develops the behavior of
students unto how they treat their educators. Facilitating them in becoming optimistic, it
improves their perception in life also how they react in real life challenges and how
would they deal with these daily obstacles. Thornton (2013) expressed that educators
convey facts to learners via discourse, assigned study, and demonstration. He also
claimed that learners obtain knowledge by practicing what they are told to do. The will

power of direct teaching enables students to gain more knowledge because educators tend
to instruct students what to do, how to perform the task, and when it needs to be done. In
addition, when students are told what to do and how would they perform the task gives
them an ease to gain knowledge because the demonstration done was directly presented.
Thus, such educators should provide enough details with regards to this because student
will depend their learning unto what details have been thrown out to them.
Bohren (2019) stated, numerous numbers of schools and classes are taking lead of
the recent elevation in automations which gave way to the approach on high-tech
education. In accordance with different advancements in the 21st century, there are tons
of high-end learning devices whom teachers use for the convenience of present-day
learning. Thus, fresh educators tend to adapt in the modern teaching devices. In
connection, this gives a different approach to students because the knowledge of the
learners depends on the technologies garnered by such educators. However, this is a good
factor in fast learning because these said technologies give an ease of access to different
information in the different corners of the world. Also, the force of fast learning enables
young students to be advance in terms of class discussions because there is more the
world that can offer, and only the innovation of high-end learning materials can give the

B. Personality towards students
Jones, V. et al. (1990, 1986) highlights that teachers have held over several
determinants that significantly alter the achievement of students and how they behave.
patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving.” Every human being has a personality. These
personalities, however, are distinctive from one person to another. Even teachers have
different personalities that impact their students. According to Ulug, et. al. (2011), a
teacher with his teaching strategies, attitudes as well as his behavior, allots his students to
perspective leaving remarkable trails on them. The demeanor and stratagem of the
educators are directly obtained and followed by their learners, which places considerable

having the means to interrelate with the learners and set out positive behavior such as
inquiring, discerning their thoughts, conveying interest and appreciation heightens the
motivation of students to succeed. By way of their own behavior and attitude, teachers
become exemplars for students while performing towards allotting students at a certain
growth level information, experience and behavior on a certain topic. Positive frame of

attitude. For instance, if a teacher is the type who incorporates himself/herself in giving

praises, wanting to be open-minded to students and willing to listen. The outcome of the
study reveals that teachers having a relaxed posture, different gesticulation, facial
learning compared to the academic discussion of the class that only comes second.
Furthermore, according to Wanzer, et. al. (1999), “It would seem as though humor
oriented teachers would use humor regularly and skillfully and would be well-liked by
their students.” Learners become much more interested and will engage their selves more
during discussions if the teacher has a good sense of humor as it is an effective tool to
alleviate anxiousness of students and it sharpens the retention rate of students when it
Moreover, there are certain personality traits of teachers towards their students
that will help them to succeed. These are adaptability, conscientiousness, creativeness,
respectfulness, and responsible (Meador, 2019). Teachers who are adaptable or versatile
can immediately take in revamps of plans. Educators who are conscientious can easily
finish their tasks on time and can produce excellent and effective discussions towards
their students. In addition, creative teachers can engross their students during lections and
they can create a classroom that is captivating and not boring. Determined teachers,

however, are those who will never give up on his/her job notwithstanding all the trials
and difficulties he/she is encountering. There are also those teachers who are empaths
who always try to put their selves to their student’s shoe to understand what their students
are feeling or if they are experiencing struggles in order to aid them with solutions.
Additionally, forgiving teachers who do not hold grudges can work well with their
students due to the fact that students, as humans as they are, are perfectly imperfect and
committing a mistake is inevitable. Genuine educators are those who are very passionate
with their duties and they are also living out what they are teaching. Gracious teachers are
always polite, grateful and warm-hearted. On the other hand, gregarious teachers are
those who can easily relate to other people, most especially to their students. According
to Meador (2019), teachers who are gregarious can easily put up a boulder-like,
educators who have grit are those who are valiant enough to withstand every obstacles
along the way that will hinder them from teaching their students, those who are intuitive,
however, can easily get what students are going through, if they are having hard times
understanding the lessons, then these teachers can aid and help in order for students to
comprehend the lessons that they are already left behind. Passionate educators can
influence students to be more eager to learn because they are those who will push
students beyond their boundaries. Teachers who are patient enough understand students
that not everyone is similar to the other, everyone is distinct. Some are coping up,
meanwhile, some are struggling. Moreover, respect does not only come from students, it
is not one-sided, it should be mutual. Respectful teachers value the self-worth of students,
they do not belittle or downgrade learners despite their incapacities, instead, they
9
motivate, inspire, and support them to be the best version of themselves as according to
Ulug, et. al. (2011), “a positive attitude from the teacher affects the student’s motivation,
attitude towards school and school work, the student’s self-confidence and as a result,
personality development.” If there are teacher’s personality towards students that will
lead them to success, it is also inevitable that there are attitudes of teachers that can lead
physical symptoms of stress to students. Teachers who use mortification and ridicule
students in class can result to a student feeling downgraded. It is not healthy to a child’s
future attainment to be disciplined by fear and intimidation. Negative feeling will linger
According to Ozel (2007), it is observed that students are paying more attention to
the personalities of teachers when evaluating them rather than their professional
characteristics. Personality of teachers towards students has a very huge impact to the
people around them. F. Sionil Jose once said, “The influence of teachers extends beyond
the classroom, well into the future.” Personality of teachers towards students plays a
major role to students’ success in the nearest future. They leave remarkable remnants to
students’ lives that contribute in shaping the upcoming future and it will serve as a
C. Moral Obligation
10
Moral progression of students is supported by the institution in the way that the
educators are given assistance to balance out the stress and struggles of their vocation and
skills differ from good and bad. As much as academics are valued, moral values fully
make up not just a student, but every human being. In fact, Ornstein (1993) suggests that
moral character is even harder to teach because educators do not just teach minds, but
they teach learners how to reflect involving patterns and behaviors that produce from
Weissbourd (2003) fair, generous, caring, and empathetic educators model these qualities
and can effectively guide the students. In addition, teachers who have ethical qualities in
treating the students can highly impact the development of an individual. Tirri, et al.
(2011) stated that the basic assumption is that morally professional teachers need
competencies related both to their character and to their conduct if they are to promote
their students’ holistic development. Thus, educators should also possess right conduct
and ethical qualities for the students to also have moral attributes. Kuehn (2019) desirable
morals, educators are the modern sculptors as they are the ones who mold and enrich
principles and actions of the learner. This fragile responsibility is handled by institutions,
trained by many and executed by learning. Thus, beginning teachers are practiced
establishing this towards their students. Moreover, Carr (1993) cites that our moral
conduct and proper values are influenced and intrinsic, thus, proper behavioral values can
11
be taught effectively by those who apply and exercise what they teach. Potentials are seen
as new teachers deliver experiences of right values and attributes to students, which they
also execute with the institution. Based on the statement of Baba, “The cultivation of
Abebe, et al. (2004) suggests that teachers can model morality by their actions.
Teachers are the ones whom we interact almost every day. Hence, they will serve as our
role models that we can look up to. Thus, educators are obligated to possess morally
upright actions such as having respect inside and outside the classrooms. Meanor (2019)
claims that all teachers should display respect frequently including moments of conflicts.
Moreover, educators should not embarrass their students in any circumstances. This kind
of treatment can greatly impact the students’ self-esteem and the way the learner’s
treatment towards their teachers. R, G. Risch once said that "respect is a two-way street if
you want to get it, you have got to give it". In fact, if the teachers want their students to
have a high respect for them, in return they should also display appropriate behavior or
is inspiring students to aspire and work hard in order to achieve their goals. They must
not allow students to be unproductive in school, instead, they should necessitate them not
to procrastinate to finish their assigned tasks on time. Thomas Edison once said, "Genius
is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." A student can attain
his/her ambitions when he/she will set his/her mind and persevere to achieve his
aspirations. Meanwhile, the teacher is also a major factor that influences students'

that “the effects of higher cognitive level questioning had a small positive effect on
student achievement”. In relation to item 9, which has the second lowest mean value of

The data gathered on figure 1 supports the overall totality of table 1 (refer to the table

undecided and frequently chooses the number 3 (undecided) in the test questionnaire.

Moreover, the data on figure 1 reveals that the grade 8 students have an overall mean

questionnaire. Thus, the Seniors having the second highest mean value of 3.45 and a

that their teacher has an engaging way of teaching. On the other hand, the Juniors have a
staggering mean value of 4.08 on item 3, which on the average, they agree that their new

are represented with the corresponding mean and mode ratings of each surveyed number
for the questionnaire of Newly Hired Faculties’ Personality towards Students. Moreover,
the following results that out of 10 items, 3 items are classified with “Agree” as rated by
24
the respondents, 1 item with “Disagree”, and majority of 6 items reasoning to
“Undecided”. Based on Mucella Ulug, et. al’s research study (2011), heightening of
success often comes from appreciation and positive behavior, which is inferred that new
educators appreciate hard works and efforts of young learners, that is followed by the
highest mean of 4.11, mode of 5, and directed as “Agree”. Garnering that the second
point is the approachable characteristic of a New Faculty that make students agree with
the statement, “My new teacher is approachable”, with mostly 5 on the survey
questionnaire.
In fact, A new study led by Nauert (2020) finds that “to improve behavior in
class, teachers should focus on praising children for good behavior, rather than telling
them off for being disruptive” explaining further that the lowest grand mean of 2.78 and
mode of 3, respondents disagree that their new teacher scolds them. Additionally,
respondents are also unsure as to the sense of humor displayed by their new teachers with
In totality, the grand mean of the whole reported data are interpreted to 3.47,
alongside the grand mode to 3, which were frequently gathered in the researcher made

approachable, appreciative and patient, affects students in a way that their treatment are
apparent with the learners’ capacity to grow and build an interactive student-teacher
relationship in the classroom. Also, it commends the purpose of this research, to identify
25
personalities that greatly affect the educational growth of students. According to
Beishuzen et. al. (1991) Good teachers are surrounded by human qualities of
humor, polished delivery and ability to engage which allows them to influence students.
To sum it up, JHS students neither disagree nor agree if the Newly Hired Faculty have
certain personalities that will help them in their study although, there are factors that are
efficient.

Grade 9 respondents were identified with the grand mean of 3.49, following that 3

distant to the juniors. Chiefly, with the grand mean of 3.43 and frequent response of 3 in
the questionnaire, seniors too, along with juniors, are indecisive in terms of rating the
behavior and personality of Newly Hired Faculty towards them. Supporting the data from
personality of Newly Hired Faculty, item 1 is the highest with the mean of 4.16, enabling
the thought that approachable teachers do engage students to boost in their overall life
performance. On the other hand, sophomores do notice the appreciation rewarded to them
by their Newly Hired Faculty with item 3 as the highest mean of 4.23. Mostly, it’s the

shows that JHS students are unsure whether their Newly Hired Faculty display such
characteristics that will benefit them in their scholastic endeavors. Assessing oneself
towards behaviors display would be efficient for the Newly Hired Faculty to adjust on

The data on table 1 reveals the respondents’ ratings on their new faculty’s moral
obligations. The questionnaire cluster for the research question on the moral obligations
of the newly hired teachers are analyzed and the findings show that out of the 10 items, 2
items are rated by the respondents as disagree, the other 4 items are rated as undecided,
however, the remaining 4 items are rated as agree with a grand mean of 3.45 and a grand
mode of 4. Items number 2-5 got the highest mean value among the 10 items.
One of the first highest indicator is item 3 with a mean score of 4.20 and a mode of

simply be handed siddurum and told to pray; the faculty should be actively involved,
modeling what to do,” Levy, an author in prizmah.org, on her journal. Second highest
indicator is item 4 with a mean score of 4.17 and a mode of 5. This implies that students
agree that their new teacher values dignity. This result has no doubt since LSU IS is a
Catholic Institution, therefore, educators are expected to value the dignity of students. As
stated in Ethical Principles of Teaching, it is a must for teachers to respect every student,
Moreover, third highest indicator is item 5 with a mean score of 4.16 and a mode of

respect and equality. This, too, is one factor on the way students treat new teachers
students to be respectful, in turn, they should also be respectful at all times. Also, as
encountering group and individual learners as students are also sensitive individuals. Last
highest indicator is item 2 with a mean score of 4.15 and a mode of 5. This implies that
students agree that their newly hired educator encourages them to avoid cheating. This
result correlates to the study of Boysen (2007) which concludes that educators can
alleviate the cheating rates of students inside the classroom by developing the classroom
environment most especially in terms of order and student involvement, and that’s where
In addition, the lowest indicator is item 10 with a mean score of 2.65 and a mode of

good deeds, instead, they are encouraged and motivated by their educators. This agreed
with the findings of a research conducted by Haider, et. al. (2018) which highlights that
67% of students viewed their teacher as good because their teacher encourages them and

their new teachers are executing their moral obligations. However, the result is in
contrary to the similar study conducted by Sari (2013), she is able to conclude that when
teachers have good morals, they can influence the students. Teachers doing their moral
obligations can make the students’ behavior better because they can lead the students to

the moral actions of the educators register with students more than truism and
preachiness inside the classroom, thus, it gave impact on how their students treat them.
We speculate that the differences in findings might be due to the fact that their study was
conducted in Indonesia and not in the Philippines particularly in LSU IS and the period
when the study was done – theirs was done last 2013, meanwhile, this study started just
this school year (2019-2020). Apart from that, the sample size of their research study is

teachers are doing their moral obligations or not, we can infer that the morality of

To sum it all up, JHS students of LSU IS are uncertain if their new teachers are
performing their moral duties and molding students to grow with virtues and values. This
case is quite alarming since La Salle University is a Catholic Institution and it aims to
shape students wholly – intellectually, physically, emotionally, socially, and most of all,
educators. Meanwhile, we acknowledge that there are considerable factors affecting the

teacher’s teaching style, personality and moral obligation greatly influenced their
behavior. The results are quite alarming since the said institution is a Catholic school and
is dedicated to mold students through spiritual values, developing skills, social activities
and academic excellence. However, there are still other certain determinants that should
be acknowledge in terms of influencing the students’ demeanor. This relates to the study

behavior on account of many other factors that are external. However, the educator’s
teaching style still plays a vital role in the student’s demeanor. This correlates with the
