Chapter 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

RATIONALE

The school rules and regulation have a big rule inside the school campus

for it makes the school be regulated with peace and order to assure students

security inside the school. The elements of the school rules that we consider

include the classroom rules, examination rules, and guiding interactions

between and among students and interaction among the teacher and staff of

the school.

Dagohoy National High School has created organizations that may help

both the students and teachers to minimize the school problem. But still there

are students who does not follow some of the school rules and regulation such

as not wearing of prescribed school uniform, improper haircut, crossing over the

fence, cutting classes, and using gadgets during class hours that might be

confiscated by the teacher and be turn over to the guidance office or to the

principal office.

Typical problems of the schools are the students having cutting classes

and students that are leaping the fence. This behaviour might affect the

students class performance, student that been captured because of violating

one of these school rules, will be send to the guiding office or to the principal
office to discuss the reason why he/she violates the school rules and also

discuss the corresponding or the possible punishment to be given to the

students.

This study was conducted to know the possible reasons why the

students violating the school rules and regulations to determine also the relation

of students awareness on the campus rules and regulations. The students are

the representative of the school outside the campus. They are expected to be

respectful and courteous to the teacher and co-students inside the campus or

the people surrounding them.

Literature Background

This chapter deals with related literature on the effectiveness of school

rules in enhancing discipline in public secondary school. The sources of

literature include published thesis from online journals and with articles. The

chapter organized the following leading issues arising from school rules and

regulation in secondary school: perceptions of teachers and students towards

rules and regulations in secondary schools: students involvements in the

formulations of school rules and regulations in public secondary school: extent

to which existing rules and regulations enhance discipline in secondary schools

and the challenges arising in enforcing the existing school rules and regulations

in secondary school.

Students involvement implementations of school rules refers to the work

of student representative bodies; such as school councils, students parliaments

and the prefectural body formulation of school rules. It is also use to


encompass all aspect of school life and decisions-making where students may

make contributions, informally through individual negotiations as well as

formally through purposely- created structure and mechanisms. Student

involvement also refers to participations of students in collective decisions-

making at school or class level and to dialogue between students and other

decisions-makers, not only consultation or a survey among students. (Jeruto

and Kiprop.2011).

Students have been into different information drive about the

institutions such as the freshmen orientation and department general assembly

to inform their rights and duties as students. In additions they are reminded of

the things they should avoid while inside or gaining entry to the campus. This

study was undertaken to determine the relation of student awareness on the

campus rules and regulations. This study also dealt with the different means of

awareness campaign that the school had been using for many years.

To determine the relations of awareness of students, variables were to

set a factor such as school rules and regulations, gender, age, student manual,

bulletin board, school policies minor violations and faculty member, which

directly influence the awareness of the students on school rules and regulations

to institutional discipline. The data were collected from student who had

violations from December 2006 to January 2007. The logbook of the security

office served as the mean sources of data and the questionnaires were

distributed to all minor offense violators. (Enrico P. Chavez).

Student involvement in formulation of school rules is often viewed as

problematic to school administrator, parents and society at large. This often due
to the fact that students are viewed as minors immature and lacking in the

expertise and technical knowledge that is needed in the running of school. Thus

student participant is often confined to issues concerned with student welfare

and not in core governance issues such as school rules and regulations.

(Magadla, 2007).
