CHAPTER IV

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter provides the information gathered and discusses the analysis and

interpretation of the collected data. The discussion aims to address the specific issues

outlined in chapter 1.

Level of Students’ Involvement in School Events

The level of students’ involvement in school events was assessed using a

questionnaire that utilizes a 5- point Likert scale focusing the two components: co-

curricular and extra-curricular. The result is shown in Table 1.

Table 1. The Average Weighted Mean of Level Students’ Involvement in School


Events
Average

School Activities Weighted Description
Deviation
Mean
Co-curricular
3.61 0.684 Often involved
Activities
Extra-curricular
3.11 0.824 Sometimes involved
Activities
Overall
3.36 0.754 Sometimes involved
Legend: 4.50 – 5.00(very well involved); 3.50 – 4.49(Often involved); 2.50 – 3.49(Sometimes involved); 1.50 –
2.49(Rarely involved); 1.00 – 1.49(Never involved)
The data in table 1 showed that students fall within often involved category. It

demonstrated a high level of involvement in co-curricular activities and a relatively low

standard deviation suggesting a consistent pattern of frequent participation. In contrast,

their engagement in extra-curricular activities is somewhat less regular, as evidenced by

a sometimes involved level. The standard deviation indicated an consistent rate of

participation.

The overall assessment combining both types of activities characterizing the

students' overall involvement as sometimes involved. This suggested a moderate and

somewhat variable level of participation across all school events.

The result is supported by the study of Reeves (2008) stated that there is a

strong association between student involvement in extracurricular activities and

improved attendance, behavior, and academic performance. Also a study by Olson

(2008) showed that involvement in extracurricular activities is constantly and positively

correlated with good school attendance and good attendance is often correlated with a

higher grade point average.

Moreover, a study by Gilman (2004) showed that extracurricular activity

participation provides a venue to express personal talents. The study demonstrated that

engaging in extracurricular activities offers individual an opportunity to showcase their

unique abilities and skills outside of the traditional academic setting.

It shows that the respondents exhibit a high level of involvement in co curricular

activities while average level for extra curricular so in overall the participation of

students in school activities is average. It also shows that student have consistent level

of involvement in both co curricular and extracurricular activities. These findings also


suggest that the respondents have a higher participation in co curricular than extra

curricular, therefore to address this imbalance, it is recommended that schools

strategically prioritize and enhance the implementation of extracurricular activities.

Level of Students’ Social Skills

The level of students’ social skills is evaluated using questionnaire and 5-point

Likert Scale. The table is categorized further into three (3) skills, communication,

collaboration and empathy. The result is indicated in Table 2.

Table 2. The Average Weighted Mean of Level of Students’ Social Skills


Average
Standard
Social Skills Weighted Description
Deviation
Mean
Communication 3.81 0.633 Very Satisfactory

Collaboration 4.08 0.658 Very Satisfactory

Empathy 3.90 0.660 Very Satisfactory

Overall Very Satisfactory


3.93 0.651
Legend: 4.50 – 5.00(Outstanding); 3.50 – 4.49(Very Satisfactory); 2.50 – 3.49(Satisfactory); 1.50 – 2.49(Fairly
Satisfactory); 1.00 – 1.49(Poor)

The overall result from table 2 indicated that students possess very

satisfactory level of social skills. This showed that the students' proficiency in

interpersonal aspects portrayed a positive and commendable level of social

competence. The low standard deviation further suggests a relatively uniform. This also

points out that students have a positive social environment within the student

community, which is indicative of their strong interpersonal capabilities.


This result is also in consonance with the study of Carolina et al, (2015) which

found out that the development of interpersonal skills during a student’s undergraduate

course is critical because the more developed the social skills the more chances to

satisfactorily deal with the demands of different environments and interlocutors.

Additionally social skills is broadly defined as social intelligence of a person that

becomes the basic foundation to do social relations in society (Thorndike and Stein,

1937). A study of Ivaniushina & zapletina (2015) found out that individual that is

involved in extracurricular activities have developed time management and goal setting

skills. The study also said that all extracurricular activities have a positive impact on the

development of personality and interpersonal skills.

It shows that the respondents exhibit a very satisfactory level of social skills

across specific indicators including communication, collaboration, and empathy. These

findings underscores the effectiveness of current educational practices in nurturing

interpersonal abilities among students. To further enhance these social skills, it is

recommended that schools continue to integrate and emphasize various aspects of

social skills. Additionally, creating a supportive and inclusive school culture that

promotes social interaction can contribute significantly to the continuous development of

students' social
