ABSTRACT

Student misbehavior is a prevalent problem within schools. The primary aim of

this research study was to identify the most common and unacceptable forms of

misconduct exhibited by secondary school students and examine their impact on

academic performance. A quantitative research approach was employed, focusing on

Nagbalaye High School as the study location. The research findings unveiled that the

participants engaged in misbehavior including tardiness, verbal aggression, alcoholism,

disrespecting teachers, and verbal aggression. A sample of 30 students was selected

randomly, with 30% female and 70% male, both aged between 12 and 19.

These students participated in the study by responding to the questionnaire. The

results indicated a significant relationship between students' misbehavior and their

academic performance. However, the profiles of the participants, such as their age, grade

level, and gender, did not show any significant relationship with the level of misbehavior.

It can be concluded that misbehavior is not contingent upon factors such as age, gender,

or grade level. Furthermore, the severity of students' misbehavior directly corresponds to

the detrimental impact it has on their academic performance.
