Students' Satisfaction On The Supreme Student Government Services at Solana Fresh Water Fishery School

Senior High School – Humanities and Social Sciences
CHAPTER 1
The Problem and its Background
Introduction
Supreme Student Government or SSG serves as a formal structure and highest governing
student body for student participation and involvement in decision-making catering to the
students, schools, and community, playing a role in elementary schools, secondary schools, and
universities. According to Kuh & Lund (2018), the allocation of tuition fees, the representation of
students before school administrators and authorities, the recognition of
professional/extracurricular associations and organizations, and the representation of on-campus
and off-campus students’ needs in which administrators’ expectations affect them are all
responsibilities stereotypically assigned to student government. Student government edges the
schools by providing students with a structure through which they will categorically express their
voices and opinions. A student council is an elected body of learners and student leaders whose
daily responsibility it is to advocate students’ interests in accordance with the council’s charter
according to Chemutai & Chumba (2018).
They act as the learners’ board, with each leader standing in for a group, like a class or an
organization. These student representatives raise issues that affect both their classrooms and the
general well-being of the students at their respective institutions. By creating student councils,
schools are moving toward a learner-centered leadership style that is ingrained in their democratic
governance. Effective democratic student participation in governing bodies can be advantageous
for both individual students and the broader school community as a management paradigm.
However, according to Damiani (2019), it should also be highlighted to help students appreciate
and exercise their rights, not merely as a model for school administration. Student governments at
public high schools in the Philippines are referred to as Supreme Student Government. (SSG). As
stated in Article III Section 2 of its Constitution and By-laws, the SSG shall support the
Department of Education’s mission to protect and advance every Filipino’s right to a quality,
equitable, culturally based, and comprehensive basic education where students learn in a child-
friendly, gender-sensitive, secure, and motivating environment. (DepEd Order 47, s. 2014).
As a result, the guiding principles stated in the mission statement will serve as the
foundation for all the organization’s projects, programs, and activities (PPA). Likewise, it should
correspond to the Department of Education’s key values, which are Maka-Diyos, Maka-tao,
Maka-kalikasan, and Makabansa. The Supreme Student Government (SSG) is the premier co-
curricular student group with the authority to run and carry out relevant initiatives, programs, and
activities in schools across the country. By offering the kids a variety of opportunities to develop
their leadership knowledge, abilities, and attitudes, it creates the foundation for excellent
government, volunteerism, unity, and cooperation. It teaches students how to be better citizens in
line with the ideals and tenets of democratic participation and responsible citizenship. More
importantly, it aids in the Department of Education’s (DepEd) achievement of its goals as stated
in the Basic Education Social Reform Agenda (BESRA), the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs), and the Education for All (EFA) Goals.
To coordinate its programs, projects, and activities (PPAs), the SSG is required to carry
out the following every year in the school and community. To recognize their strengths and define
areas for development, academic institutions measure student happiness. To grasp the complexity
of that learning experience, it is not enough to know the degree to which students are satisfied, it
is important to understand the factors that contribute to student satisfaction. Establishing a
functional student council is among the services of any educational institution. Thus, it is
necessary that students’ satisfaction on the services being provided by the student council be
likewise measured to further improve the services that the school caters to its clientele.
Nevertheless, there are rare studies that tend to evaluate students’ satisfaction on the
services of their respective student councils. Solana Fresh Water Fishery School is among the big
secondary education schools in Solana Cagayan. It is composed of two departments, the junior
high school and senior high school. There is only one Supreme Student Government that
represents the students from the two departments. This research endeavors to determine the
students’ satisfaction on the services of the Supreme Student Government in Solana Fresh Water
Fishery School. The findings of this research study aim to determine the level of satisfaction of
the students at Solana Fresh Water Fishery School on the Supreme Student Government Services.
This study will determine the students’ satisfaction on the SSG services and to know if they are
well satisfied, satisfied or not satisfied with it. The objective of this research study might be a
basis on improving the SSG services among the students of Solana Fresh Water Fishery School.
Statement of the Problem
This research study aimed to determine the level of satisfaction of the students at Solana Fresh
Water Fishery School on the Supreme Student Government Services.
Specifically, it sought to answer the following specific questions:
1.) What is the level of satisfaction of the participants on the services of the SSG in terms of?
1.1 Values formation;
1.2 Promotion of students’ rights and welfare;
1.3 Promotion of a child-friendly environment;
1.4 Recognition and development of students’ skills and talents; and
1.5 Promotion of curricular excellence?
2.) What is the general satisfaction level of the participants on the Supreme Student Government
services?
3.) What are the problems encountered by the respondents in the SSG services?
4.) What alternatives could be proposed to address the problems?

Theoretical Framework
Students’ government members should be provided with teaching and practical
manuals on the organization of the student government activities, including regulations, concepts,
programs, and orders, and these should be available at the university, among other special
organizational and pedagogical conditions, in order to establish an effective system of student
governance at the university (Dorozhkina, Zaitseva, and Tatarskikh, 2019). Many adult supporters
viewed the student government as a continuation of the progressive pedagogical idea of learning
by doing, such as involving students in the city and federal governments, which take on political
and educational responsibilities. Opponents, however, countered that the mechanisms would
simply replicate the political system’s corruption (Wallach, 2018). By identifying pertinent
leadership development indicators and defining strategies for students to improve their leadership
skills, educators and program directors can help students become effective social change leaders
and actors (Stayhorn, 2018). They can also provide a working model for organizing student
government activities, including the structure and interaction strategy with university
administration; student government bodies should be representative of the student body. These
leadership skills can be built and developed as students continue their studies, which comes with
a great responsibility on the part of students. Students also need proper time management skills,
skills in leading the entire student and school community with a balanced academic and
extracurricular activities so that neither of the two would be lacked (Shertzer, Wall, Frandsen,
Guo, Whalen & Shelley, 2005).

CHAPTER 2
Review of Related Literature and Studies
This chapter presents the review of related literature and studies of this study.
Related Literature
Leadership that is focused on empowering the interest of the student body and upholding
and adhering to the Mission Statement of the Department of Education (DepEd) is essential for
successful school programs and development. In order that the student leaders can fully serve
effectively in their duties and responsibilities as integral to the student government program, steps
must be taken toward their evaluation with the clear prospect for enhancement and growth. The
SSG is being tagged as the highest democratic representation of the student body so its ineffective
and unsatisfactory performance may eventually affect the interest of the student body.
The Department of Education enjoins all the schools to implement, One School, One
Supreme Student Government Policy to: lay the groundwork for unity and cooperation among
pupils and students by providing a venue for improving their leadership skills and abilities; seek
to train pupils and students to become a better member of society anchored on the ideals and
principles of participative democracy and good citizenship; and harness the pupils and student
government as partners in achieving quality education and academic excellence which can be
enhanced through planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and student’s
representation: (Department of Education, 2016). Planning involves a series of steps that
determine how a goal can be attained or a set of related goals by the school in which effectiveness
of an organization depends directly on the effectiveness of its managers. Similarly, the SSG
officers take the organization into careful planning in the realization of the student matters,
affairs, and activities of the organization, determination of the organizational goals, development
of premises about the current environment, selection of the approach, initiation of the SSG with
activities to turn plans into actions, and evaluation of the outcomes.
The student representation structure aims to ensure that all students are represented. The
school is committed to improving the motivation of students to engage in learning, and to the
participation of students in processes that can improve their educational experience by expressing
out their opinions, suggestions, and grievances on topics of interest, such as student affairs, and
activities (Department of Education and Science, 2018. It is critical to the continuing aim of
improving the student experience since the views of students are heard at all school levels,
affecting school practice and strategic direction. SSG functions to serve as representative of the
students in voicing their opinion, suggestions, and grievances; to make recommendations to
school authorities regarding student matters, affairs, and activities; to act as coordinating council
of all co-curricular organizations in the school; to participate in the crafting and formulation of
the School Improvement Plan (SIP); and to recommend to the School Head the granting, renewal
or revocation of accreditation of campus student organizations (Department of Education, 2016).

Student government organization like the SSG aims to establish a representative body
that fosters leadership and promotes the well- being and excellence of learners for all. Barrientos
(2015) stated that SSG involves extent of leadership skills and functions of students in the
Philippine educational setting as mandated by DepEd all sought out the existing conditions as the
basis for leadership empowerment and development program for SSG generally different at the
same time because of the different settings and time frames. The Student Council is tasked to
develop school spirit and promote the general welfare of the students; to advise the
university/college President on student matters, affairs and activities of distinctly intercollegiate
concern; to adopt its own by-laws for its internal and general government; to coordinate student
activities; and to exercise such powers and perform such act of duties as the school authorities
may from time to time delegate to it. The Student Government deals with the organization and
regulation of student activities, academic curricula, and discipline at schools, colleges, and
universities by student bodies or councils. A group of officers, elected by students and consisting
of students and some faculty members, acts as a channel of communication between the
administrators of the institution, such as the school principal or the president and board of
governors of a college, and the students. It also takes part in the regulation of educational,
disciplinary, and extracurricular activities and listens to the grievances of students (Microsoft
Encarta, 2019)
This increased role for students was the result of the combined efforts of students, faculty,
and administrators. Crane (in Vaccaro & Covert, 2018) noted that responsibilities assumed by
students in various organizations, for example, clubs, literary societies, and athletics, in the late
nineteenth century had led to institutions delegating to students some direct responsibilities for
the governance of their own affairs.

Related Studies
According also to Harold Locaylocay Arribado, 2018. His study assessed the efficacy of
the Supreme Student Government (SSG) services of public secondary schools in Daanbantayan
District II for School Year 2018-2019. The specific queries focused on the extent of the efficacy
of the SSG, monitoring and evaluation, and student representation; the significant difference in
the extent of the efficacy of the SSG of each secondary school in Daanbantayan District II; the
problems encountered by the SSG in performing their duties and responsibilities; and the
leadership empowerment and developmental programs could be proposed to make the SSG
Services more effective. The study used the quantitative approach utilizing the descriptive-
comparative method and researcher self-made survey questionnaire and utilizing the weighted
mean and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in the treatment of data. The data revealed there was a
significant difference in terms of planning but not in the implementation, monitoring and
evaluation, and student. The existing problems encountered by the SSG challenge their efficacy in
performing their duties and responsibilities, which then would necessitate the implementation of
the herein proposed leadership empowerment and development program in the research locale.
The main thrust of the study of Delia V. Eisma, 2018 is to determine the extent of
implementation of the SSG services programs of the College and the University as a whole as
perceived by the students of the College of Arts and Sciences and the level of satisfaction of the
students on the implementation of these SSG officers’ services programs. The study includes the
following student services programs of DMMMSU: Student Welfare Services - These are basic
services and programs that promote and ensure students’ well-being. They include the following
services: Guidance and Counseling, Scholarship and Financial Assistance, Mutual Aid, Career
and Placement, Alumni Relations, Student Housing, Admission and Records, Medical and Dental,
Food and Library Services. Student Development Programs and Services -These are designed for
the exploration, enhancement, and development of the student’s full potential for personal
development, leadership, and social responsibility through various institutions and student–
initiated activities. They include the following services: Student Government and Council,
Student Organizations and Activities, Student Publication, Spiritual, Cultural, and Sports
Development. In general, the students rated the Cultural Development program as the highest
with a descriptive rating of “Very Highly Implemented” while all the other student services
programs are rated as “Highly Implemented”. The students are also highly satisfied in the
implementation of all these student welfare and student development programs and services.
According to Jeffrey A. Lucero, 2021. His study determined the students’ level of
satisfaction on the services of the Supreme Student Government in Congressional Integrated High
School. As per school records, there is a total of 4,214 students enrolled in Congressional
Integrated High School. Realizing that the population size is too big, Krejcie and Morgan formula
was used to extract a considerable number of samples who would participate in the study. Using
the formula, 353 students were determined to be the total sample size to participate in his study.
Having utilized descriptive research design through the survey method, the study was participated
by 353 randomly chosen students both from the junior high school and senior high school
departments of Congressional Integrated High School. Results reveal that the SSG performs
satisfactorily in terms of values formation, promotion of students’ rights and welfare, promotion
of child-friendly environment, and recognition and development of students’ skills and talents.
Nevertheless, it is very
unsatisfactory in terms of promoting academic excellence among the students. The study did not
dwell on the perception of the other school stakeholders on the services of the SSG. He
likewise did not determine the significant relationship of the participants’ profile to their
responses. The results of his study could serve as a basis in improving the services of the
Supreme Student Government among the students of Congressional Integrated High School.

CHAPTER 4
Results and Discussion
The interpretation and analysis of the acquired data are presented in this chapter. It
displays all the survey responses from the respondents.
The information was gathered through survey with the non-officers` honor students
serving as our respondents, along with quantitative information. In order to know if the
respondents are well satisfied, satisfied, or not satisfied with the Supreme Student Government
services at Solana Fresh Water Fishery School. Specific survey questions/statements were asked
on the respondents.
In this study, the students` satisfaction on the Supreme Student Government services at
SFWFS was determined by gauging their level of satisfaction on the SSG`s performance towards
embodying its objectives as mandated by the Article III Section 6 of its Constitution and By-laws.
These objectives are methodically categorized into five domains: values information, promotion
of students` rights and welfare, promotion of a child-friendly environment, recognition and
development of students` skills and talents, and promotion of curricular excellence.

Table 1: Students’ satisfaction on the accomplishments of the Supreme Student Government in
terms of Values Formation.
Table 1 presents the participants` satisfaction on the services of Supreme Student
Government in terms of values information. The results show that the statements that fall under
this domain are perceived to be satisfied with a mean of 1.79. This is an indication that the SSG
satisfactorily performs its mandate on instilling values among students at Solana Fresh Water
Fishery School. The SSG likewise ensures that its activities cling to the core values of the
Department of Education: Maka-Diyos, Makakalikasan, Maka-tao, at Maka-bansa.
Value is typical understood to refer to moral principles, broad worldviews, or sometimes
just personal interests, preferences, needs and dispositions. Despite the exiting concepts and
definition of the duties and function of the SSG as stipulated in Section 1-9, Article IX of the
Constitutions By-Laws of SSG, the uncertainly of proving that SSG will definitely show
leadership, empowerment, and development to the students themselves cannot be eluded.
terms of promotion of Students’ Rights and Welfare.

4. The SSG actively participates in various campaigns 1.90 Satisfied
and programs that would promote as a learner.
A piece of legislation known as the Magna Carta of Students, the Students’ Rights and
Welfare (STRAW) Bill was first submitted nearly 15 years ago. A student movement on a specific
student agenda was revived and united as a result of the requirement for the institutionalization od
the Students’ Rights and Welfare into a national policy. According to Gutek (2019), some of the
services of the SSG officers provides instruction and education remediation in areas where
students are having a trouble such as personal issues, substance abuse and so on.
As seen in Table 2 that in terms of students` rights and welfare shows that of all the
statements under this domain are satisfactorily done by the SSG officers with a mean of 1.87
which describes as satisfied. One of the foci of SSG services is to ensure that none of the students
deprived of their rights as part of the school community. SSG has been an instrumental for the
students to express their own issues or concerns experienced inside the school premises.

terms of promotion of a Child-friendly Environment.
Just like the aforementioned results in table 3, the participants found out that SSG
performs well in terms of promoting child-friendly environment. This is corroborated by their
well satisfied evaluation or responses on the five statements under this domain. The function of
the SSG officers in maintaining a child-friendly environment is to provide technical assistance
where necessary just like in maintaining the cleanliness of the school premises which is the major
project of YES-O Club.
A child-friendly environment is exactly what the name implies. According to UNICEF, an
environment where teachers are kind and accommodating to children and their needs is created in
a child-friendly school, which sees education as a privilege for every child and monitor their
rights in the community encourages high-quality teaching and learning practices with specialized
instructions appropriate to each child`s stage of development, skills and learning preferences
offers structured content as well as excellent resources and materials (Jonas, 2019).
terms of recognition and development of Students’ Skills and Talents.

Mean
1. The SSG has some programs together with the school 1.73 Satisfied
administrators that enable me to develop my innate skills.
2. The SSG conducts co-curricular activities where I can 1.69 Satisfied
showcase my skills and talents.
3. The SSG collaborates with other organizations or 1.60 Not Satisfied
institutions to provide me an opportunity to enhance my
talents and skills.
4. The SSG recognizes and gives away awards for those who 1.67 Satisfied
have shown exemplary performance in co-curricular
activities.
Table 4 shows that in the first and second statement that fall under this domain is the only
statements got the mean of 1.73 and 1.69 which describes as satisfied. In here, students are able
to showcase their innate skills, which they could not fully exhibit in their classroom activities.
This also gives students the chance to boost their self-esteem and further hone and develop their
talents just like dancing, singing, painting, drawing and so on. This has been proven true by
MnCube and Naidoo (2014) who stated that any co-curricular activities that are proven to be
beneficial in building and strengthening academic achievement, even if the activities are not
obviously related to academic subjects.
As stated by Chai and Ibarrientos (2018), students who have mastered their skills and
talents can be trained more with the help of the school while the SSG officers helps in developing
their innate skills and talents. SSG officers must offers students the chance to share and promote
every skills or talents they have within the school premises or outside the school premises and
they should be the voice of every students’ body that can benefit the school and the community.
Supreme Student Government is a vital organization and its crucial role cannot be
ignored. It paved the way for student leaders and as active partners in school and the Department
of Education where productive and responsive leadership are practiced in equipping to become
productive and good Filipino citizens in the future. It is highly efficacious as an implementing
arm of the school and Department of Education for the programs, projects, and activities for
student welfare and development.

terms of promotion of Curricular Excellence.

4. The SSG offers tutorial services for those who cannot 1.66 Not
cope with their lessons in specific subjects. Satisfied
Overall Weighted Mean 1.65 Not
Satisfied
As shown in the table 5 which is the promotion of curricular excellence, the SSG is
remarked to be not satisfied in the first to fourth statements with a mean of 1.65 which describes
as not satisfied. Promoting curricular excellence refers to enabling the students to develop their
critical thinking, decision-making, and problem-solving skills so they can all significantly
contribute to the process of nation-building. A student leader as an individual and crucial
participant in the community ought to value their contributions to it and put what they have
learned to use translate their thoughts into deeds that aid the nation-building.
Young people of today are the pillars of this country by possessing the strength and
dynamism so that they will become an instrument in building a strong nation; by enhancing the
effectiveness of student leadership, we can help students to discern the challenges into positive
endeavors, such as school programs, projects, and activities for the students (Vargas, 2003).
Progressive factors play a vital role in a child`s learning and development, secondary
educators will also determine how they can contribute to the experiences and results from
multiple curricular area. Together with co-workers, staff can plan their contributions to each
learner`s education and provide support for students as they make connections between their
lessons.
General Satisfaction on the Services of the Supreme Student Government

5. Promotion of Curricular Excellence 1.65 Not Satisfied
Overall Weighted Mean 1.88 SATISFIED
Table 6: Students’ general satisfaction on the accomplishments of the Supreme Student
Government.
The participants` general satisfaction on the accomplishments of the SSG was determined
by getting the mean score among the overall rating in each domain (Table 1-5). As shown in table
6, the general satisfaction of the respondents on the services of SSG services at SFWFS is
satisfied as represented by the mean score of 1.88. The results indicate that according to the
students who participated in this study, the SSG officers performs well in fulfilling its functions
of fostering and safeguarding the interests of the students. Nevertheless, there were still some
aspects that has to improve in order to cater a better quality of services among students of Solana
Fresh Water Fishery School.

In general, the Supreme Student Government aims to influence and mold every student to
be vigilant and active citizens in their respective community and to the country as a whole-that
they will positively take part, and not to be passive in addressing problems and issues that
substantially affects their community and our country as a whole.
Strategy, Programs, Activities, Task, and Resources (SPATRES)
The Strategy, Programs, Activities, Task, and Resources (SPATRES) is a matrix that
is created to determine the program necessary for the strategies obtained from the matrices. It will
answer the questions: What are the problems encountered by the respondents on the Supreme
Student Government services? What alternatives could be proposed to address the problems?
SSG officers take the organization into careful planning in the realization of the student
matters, affairs, and activities of the organization, determination of the organizational goals,
development of premises about the current environment, selection of the approach, initiation of
the SSG with activities to turn plans into actions, and evaluation of the outcomes. The SSG is
being tagged as the highest democratic representation of the student body so its ineffective and
unsatisfactory performance may eventually affect the interest of the student body.
SSG functions to serve as representative of the students in voicing their opinion,
suggestions, and grievances; to make recommendations to school authorities regarding student
matters, affairs, and activities; to act as coordinating council of all co-curricular organizations in
the school.

CHAPTER 5
Conclusion and Recommendation

The conclusion and recommendations of this study are presented on this chapter.
Conclusion
The researchers have an overall synthesis of the findings which is that the objectives as
mandated by its Constitution and By-Laws are categorized into four domains as parameters of the
study. It is found out that SSG services in terms of values formation, promotion of students’ rights
and welfare, and recognition and development of students’ skills and talents are both satisfied
while promotion of child-friendly environment respondents are well satisfied and in terms of
promotion of curricular excellence, respondents are not satisfied. The general satisfaction on the
services of SSG is satisfied, which means that the organization is performing well despite some
aspects of its services that it has to improve.
Recommendation
In light of delimitations and findings of this study, the following are hereby recommended:
1.) The school administrator through the office of the coordinator for students’ services, may
initiate a recognition program before school year lags. This activity is meant to recognized
students who excel in academic, sports, who excel in showing their skills and talents; thereby
uplifting their self-confidence and can cause a great self-improvement.
2.) The teachers may serve as a representative of the studently in voicing their opinions and
suggestions in improving the SSG services among students.
3.) A related study may be conducted exploring the perception of the other school stakeholders,
aside from the students, on the services being provided by the SSG or the student leaders.
4.) This study may serve as a leadership knowledge and skills as one way of constructing their
leadership identity, but as to improve self-drive and motivation in executing their powers,
duties, and responsibilities as a student.
