ABSTRACT
The study investigated level of awareness and compliance to school rules and regulations by the Pre-
Baccalaureate Grade-12 students in Visayan Maritime Academy Global College Training Center
Incorporation S.Y. 2022-2023.The objectives of the study were to find out the awareness of the Pre-Bac
Grade 12 students to the rules and regulations inside the campus, the categories of rules and
regulations, the compliance level of the Pre-Bac Grade 12 students to the existing rules and
regulations, the effects of the rules and regulations, as wells as sanctions for defaulting the campus
rules and regulations. The study adapted a descriptive survey design and stratified sampling technique
was used to select the Grade-12 PBM respondents in the VMA Global College Training Center Inc.
Questionnaire was used for data collection while descriptive statistics was used in analyzing the data.
The Pre- Baccalaureate Maritime students at VMA are aware of the rules and regulations in the school
premises and they comply with them very often. The study therefore recommends that: more
awareness programmed on the rules and regulations should be created in the school grounds, users
should be educated on the need to always comply with the school rules and regulations, stricter
measures should be put in place to sanction or penalize any defaulter of school rules and regulations as
this will further ensure compliance to the rules and regulations. This study is beneficial to PBM
students, PBM instructors, guidance counselor, school administrator and future researchers. The
outcome for this research will bases for recommendations to the guidance office.
Along with academic performance, school discipline ranks as one of the major concerns
voiced by the public about schools and the school system. There is a perception and serious
concern that behavior problems are endemic in schools, that teachers are struggling to maintain
order, and that school authorities are unable to guarantee the safety of students. The world over,
teachers and administrators are daily charged with the responsibility of creating and
Students are key stakeholders and the most important resource in education. Teaching students
acceptable attitudes and behaviors in and out of school is absolutely essential. To achieve an
organized and peaceful school environment and to maintain law and order, the school board
establishes rules and regulations that guide the activities of the members of the institution. It
can be argued that discipline is an important part of human behavior and that without discipline
an organization cannot function well in achieving its goals. The goal was to assess the impact
on perceptions of encouraging good behavior (Fekadu, 2019). Maritime education is one of the
most popular courses in the Philippines. It is a highly paid job and people from different
countries such as China, Thailand and India are entering this field. Seafarers do their best to
hone their skills so they can compete with their peers around the world. Participate in training
courses to develop your skills in order to gain an edge not only in technical know-how and
work attitude, but also in public relations, which requires exceptional communication skills
required in all aspects of sailing. Need to do it. In order to raise a refined and disciplined
individual the environment, one should be aware about the school rules policies and regulation.
When an individual enrolls as a student and is accepted into the VMA Global College Training
Center, a contract is formed agreeing to submit to and comply with the school’s rules and
regulations. Upon his admission he assumes all obligations relating to his status as a student, in
To determine the relation of awareness of students, variables were used to set a factors such
as school rules and regulation, gender, age, student manual, bulletin board, school policies,

Theoretical Framework
The reasons minority students are subject to exclusionary discipline more often than others
are varied, but many experts agree that they often have little to do with the students themselves.
Large rates of suspensions and expulsions tend to result from discipline policies in need of
revision that are exacerbated by numerous administrators and teachers who are not provided
enough support about how best to handle discipline issues in school. The issue of implicit bias
also has a role to play in these numbers, and that too is an area where educators, students, and
their families need to be given proper information and support. Expulsions and suspensions are
in violation of civil rights laws if they are found to be administered in such a way that targets
minority students. This third edition of "Resources on Student Discipline Policy and Practice"
provides an annotated bibliography of publications from organizations with data and strategies,
resources with tools and strategies, resources with research and data, resources on discipline
policy, technical assistance resources, and related articles. (IDRA EAC-South 2020)

The researchers conducted the data gathering through customized printed Forms, some target
respondents were unable to respond due to the inability to attend school and personal matters so
the researchers consumed a lot of time in data collecting process. Due to blended learning the
researchers used Simple Random Sampling in data gathering in conducting the Reliability Test.
The researchers also have difficulties to communicate with each other due to conflict at blended
learning (both face-to-face and online classes), schedule of irregular students and time
management.

Stated the level of Awareness on School Rules and Regulations of the Senior High School
Students at Emiliano Tria Tirona Memorial National High School-ISHS S.Y. 2018-2019.
School rules and regulations represent important control mechanisms to which students
conform to. It is usually associated with classroom management and school discipline which
remains a great challenge to many students. Various reasons such as lack of awareness,
knowledge, respect for authority, cooperation, and self-esteem discipline. In this study, the
researcher wants to determine the awareness of the students in the established school rules and
regulations. As of now, there are limited studies about school rules and regulations in public
schools in the Philippines. This research needs to be conducted to maintain the safety of
everyone inside the school, to lessen crime, and to practice discipline on every student.
The researchers used the systematic sampling technique as in selecting the respondents by using
the given formula. The researchers required a total of 139 respondents that came from the
senior high school’s GAS or General Academic Strand and TVL or Technical Vocational
Livelihood Strand. The researcher used the school rules and regulations awareness scale
Findings from SRRAS or School Rules And Regulations Awareness Scale revealed that the
majority of the participants responded were aware of wearing complete uniform and
identification card, segregating the waste in proper ways, keeping their personal identification
card, maintaining the cleanliness of the environment, going to school on time, and using the
technology and water supply in proper ways. On the other hand, the participants were
sometimes performing of not bringing a gun or materials that can harm other people, liquor
drinks and any drugs such as marijuana and shabu, not wearing a body piercing that showing a
bad image as a student, not vandalizing the walls or even the furniture’s and not destroying the
school facilities such as chair, desk, books and etc., not joining in fraternity or sorority.
Moreover, the respondents always perform respecting the teachers, staff and school
administrators.
In using the school rules and regulations awareness scale, it revealed that the majority of the
participants are aware and often performed the implemented set of the school rules and
regulations inside ETTMNHS-ISHS. However, the reasons why a number of students still
violate rules must be taken into further investigation.( Babasa J.N. 2019)

character education. This type of research uses a qualitative approach. The study was conducted
at SDN 29 Lubuk Alung, with the subject of principals, teachers, and students. Data is collected
through observation, interviews, and documentation. The technique of checking the validity of
the data used is the triangulation technique. The results showed that in carrying out disciplinary
character education at SDN 29 Lubuk Alung carried out through six policies, namely (1)
making character education programs, (2) establishing school rules and class rules, (3) doing
Dhuha prayer and Dhuhur prayer in congregation, ( 4) make affective posts in each class, (5)
monitor the discipline behavior of students at home through a daily activity notebook, (6)
This research was conducted to find out, explore, study, and describe the implementation of

policies to support the successful implementation of character education. The type of data used
is secondary data. This research uses the literature study method. The data obtained were
collected, analyzed, and concluded obtain conclusions about the literature study. Based on the
research results, literature studies from several research results and journal articles indicate that

and school committees can increase the success of the implementation of character education in
The present study examined the efficacy of a self-regulation intervention for children
children (N = 276 children in 14 Head Start classrooms; M age = 51.69, SD = 6.55) who
participated in an 8-week self-regulation intervention demonstrated greater gains in self-
regulation and academic achievement over the preschool year compared to children in a control
regulation were explored and differential intervention effects for English language learners
within a sample of children from low-income families were tested. Results indicated that
the control group in the spring of the preschool year. Group comparisons also revealed that the
intervention was related to significantly higher math skills for children who were English
language learners. In other words, English language learners who participated in the
children in the control group and relative to English speakers who also participated in the
intervention. The present study provides support for the efficacy of a school readiness
framework for the study of school readiness. Self-regulation abilities allow for engagement in
learning activities and provide the foundation for adjustment to school. A focus on readiness as
self-regulation does not supplant interest in the development of acquired ability, such as early
knowledge of letters and numbers; it sets the stage for it. In this article, we review research and
theory indicating that self-regulation and consequently school readiness are the product of
integrated developmental processes at the biological and behavioral levels that are shaped by
the contexts in which development is occurring. In doing so, we illustrate the idea that research
on self-regulation powerfully highlights ways in which gaps in school readiness and later
achievement are linked to poverty and social and economic inequality and points the way to
The purpose of this study was to find out the role of school discipline on students’ academic
performance. The study had four objectives; to examine the suitability of set rules and
regulations in best performing and least performig schools; to examine the mechanisms in place
that ensures that students’ abides to prescribed rules and regulations; to examine how the
students punishment management influence academic performance and to investigate how the
administration of school rules and regulation contribute to students’ academic performance. The
Instruments were questionnaires, interview guides and observation check list. Five schools were
selected. Data was collected and analyzed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Findings shows
that best performing school has suitable school rules and regulation, use and implement
different mechanism, apply fair and consistence punishment, also had suitable rules and
regulations contrary to least performing schools which had unsuitable rules and regulation, do
not well use and implement different mechanisms, apply unfair and inconsistence punishment
and had written rules which had no supervision. Conclusion students should be aware of school
there should be meeting between schools to share experiences on discipline-related matters vis-
à-vis academic performance. Government should motivate teachers in least performing schools.
Parents-teachers relationship should be established. Further research can be carried out focusing
on the role of school discipline on students’ academic performance in the counties or the whole

The data used in this study were gathered by means a adapted questionnaire and other research
materials like published materials and internet sources. The researchers consulted their research
adviser in the preparation of the questionnaire, which has three parts. The first part is composed
of questions about the respondent’s profile in terms of. The second part consists of questions
about the factors that affect the level of awareness towards school rules and policies of the
respondents when they are taken as a whole and group according to their grade level. The third
part is composed of questions regarding about their level of difficulty in following rules and
regulations on such environment when they are taken as a whole or group according to their
grade level and section in VMA Global College and Training Centers Incorporated.
First, the researchers asked permission to the school heads of VMA Global College and
Training Center Inc. to conduct the study. After given permission, the researchers formulated a
adapted questionnaire and subjected the survey questionnaires to professionals for critiquing
and validation. After doing such, a test-retest was done to determine its reliability.
After securing the survey questionnaire that would be used to conduct the study, the
researchers obtained the total population of Senior High School Pre-Baccalaureate students and
by the use of Slovin’s Formula, the sample size was calculated. Then in order to arbitrate their
sample, a stratified random sampling was done. Subsequently, researchers asked for the master
list of Grade 12 Pre-Baccalaureate students. From it they were able to identify and select the
final participants of the study. After the participants had completed the survey questionnaire,
the researchers then made sure the papers were checked and used various statistical tools for
statistical treatment.
As soon as the needed data is at hand, the researchers will personally compute the results,
which will be sent to the statistician for further corrections and clarification.
