CHALLENGES ENCOUNTERED AND STRATEGIES EMPLOYED IN MANAGING STUDENTS’ BEHAVIOR OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS OF A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN QUEZON PROVINCE

,


INTRODUCTION
described student behavior management as one of the contemporary issues frequently faced by the school community.Behavioral problems such as bullying, violence in school and other major and minor misconduct issues lead to poor environment and a sense of fear and frustration within the school community.
With aforementioned thought, it is important to manage the students' behavior to attain the DepEd's mission statement that states "students learn in a child-friendly, gender sensitive, safe, and motivating environment (retrieved in DepEd website, 2018).This kind of learning environment is the main concern of school heads in order to attain the said mission for the holistic development of the students.In connection with DepEd Order No. 1, s. 2003 also known Promulgating the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of Republic Act No. 9155 otherwise known as the Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001, the environment is a vital part of the teaching and learning process and that the school head shall have authority, accountability, and responsibility for creating this kind of environment in the school.
It is further supported by DepEd Order No. 44, s. 2005 also known as Declaration of Schools as Zones of Peace which emphasizes that the school is a zone of peace that should provide a special environment for the formal, physical, mental, emotional, and moral growth of the young.The laws for the school environment make up a better school climate for the learners.However, in order to motivate them to learn and stay in school the teachers should take charge to ensure the quality of school management specifically in managing students' behavior which is implicitly stated in DepEd Order No. 92, s. 1992 also known as the Revised Manual of Regulations of Private Schools (8th Edition).It is also mentioned that every school shall maintain discipline inside the school campus as well as outside the school premises.
In the light of this DepEd order, the teachers should be careful in dealing with the misbehavior of the students.Also, this DepEd order advocates positive discipline in developing the sense of responsibility and self-discipline among students as well as to every educational institution which endeavors to create an atmosphere conducive to learning.Thus, students should observe the rules and regulations prescribed by the school.
However, this cannot be attained if the students do not follow the rules and regulations of the school.The problem will arise due to the number of violations committed by students.According to the Student Supreme Council (SSC) record of the academic year 2017-2018 in one of the private schools in Sariaya, the students committed a total of 775 violations.Most of the committed violations are the following: not following the prescribed uniform and grooming, tardiness, bringing of cellphone without permit, and not bringing their handbook and ID.
Likewise, another example of student misbehaviors are based on the records of Office of Guidance Counselor for A.Y. 2018-2019 of a private school in Quezon Province, the violations/offenses committed by the students as regards their attitudes and values are bullying, fighting, vandalism, falsification of signature in the excuse slips, posting of rants on social media using vulgar words, extortion of money from the lower grade levels, abusive behavior/discourtesy towards school personnel, repeated name teasing/name calling, and public display of affection.The violators are subjected to disciplinary actions depending on the gravity of the offense.
The aforementioned issues prompted the researcher to come up with this research in order to help resolve the problems of the students and to assist the teachers to address the challenges met in school.The researcher developed a Teachers' Guidebook on Managing Students' Behavior for Junior High School teachers.This study showcased the strategies employed by the teachers in managing student behavior.

Statement of the Problem
This study aimed to identify the challenges encountered and strategies employed in managing students' behavior by Junior High School teachers in a private school in Quezon Province.
Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions: 1. What are the challenges encountered by the Junior High School teachers of a private school in Quezon Province in managing student behavior, in terms of:

Theoretical Framework
This research was anchored on the theory of B.F. Skinner; changes in behavior are a result of individuals' responses to events or stimuli that occur in their environment.When a stimulusresponse (S-R) pattern is rewarded, the individual is conditioned to respond similarly in the future (Huston University Online, 2019).
The idea of Skinner is about the creation of the learning environment that is conducive for learning.The students responsed to their environment especially to the rules and regulations implemented in the school.An institution conducts an orientation for the students about the rules and regulations in terms of code of conduct related to discipline and code of conduct related to decorum.The purpose of the orientation is to give the students a greater awareness about the rules and regulations implemented in the school.However, the orientation become successful if these rules and regulations are firmly implemented in every educational institution.Thus, the students should be responsible for following these rules with the guidance of their teachers.
In connection with the theory of Skinner, Ford (1994) developed the "Responsible Thinking Process" also known as RTP which states that educators need to develop a sense of responsibility of the students for their own lives and to respect the lives of everyone around them.It creates mutual respect by teaching students how to think through what they are doing in relation to the rules of wherever they are.This gives students personal accountability for their actions.The key component of this classroom discipline process is its focus on how students can achieve their goals without getting in the way of others who are trying to do the same thing (Weebly, 2019).
From the thoughts of Ford, there is a need to inculcate in the students that they are accountable for their action.The students should respect the rules and regulations that are really important to develop in them the sense of responsibility for their action in order to maintain the peace and order in the school.
Therefore, every educational institution should impose discipline to the students.In that case, if the students break the rules there are always consequences for their action.For that reason, imposing rules and regulations is one of the strategies could that be enforced to get the positive behavior of the students.
The aforesaid theories were the benchmarks of the researcher in the development of the research output entitled Teacher's Guidebook on Managing Student Behavior.This output showcases strategies that could help the respondents to address the challenges in managing the behavior of the students in terms of the code of conduct related to discipline and code of conduct related to decorum.
The code of conduct related to discipline focuses on the following: wearing of the uniform, school ID, and attendance (absences, tardiness, and cutting classes).Further, the code of conduct related to decorum focuses on the following: silence, respect and friendliness, in the chapel, in the classroom, in the campus, in the library, in the cafeteria, attendance at mass, during the flag ceremony, use of the student facilities, school's sustainable waste management program, offcampus activity, use of cellphone and other e-gadgets, boy and girl relationship, and safety measure.
The researcher determined the challenges encountered and strategies in managing students' behavior employed by the Junior High School teachers in a private school in Quezon Province.The researcher's intention is to help them address the misbehavior of the students, thus, better reinforcement of rules and regulation in the code of conduct related to discipline and code of conduct related to the decorum of the school might produce disciplined students inside and even outside the school campus.

Theoretical Paradigm
Figure 1 shows the theoretical paradigm followed by the researcher.This is composed of the Input-Process-Output model.
The input of this research were the challenges encountered by the Junior High School Teachers in managing the students' behavior in terms of the code of conduct related to discipline and code of conduct related to decorum.It also included the strategies employed by Junior High School teachers in addressing the challenges in managing the students' behavior based on the findings of the study.
Then, the process of this research included the analysis of the findings on the challenges encountered and strategies employed of Junior High School teachers in managing the students' behavior in terms of the code of conduct related to discipline and code of conduct related to decorum.
The results were the bases for the development of Teachers' Guidebook with tips on managing and dealing with the students' behavior.The output was intended to help the Junior High School teachers in a private school in Quezon Province who face challenges in managing the behavior of the students.It is a way of addressing and resolving the problem of students' misbehavior.

Scope and Limitation
The purpose of the study was to determine the challenges encountered and strategies employed by the Junior High School teachers in managing the challenges in students' behavior in terms of the code of conduct related to discipline and code of conduct related to decorum.Based from the result of the study, the researcher developed Teachers' Guidebook about managing students' behavior.
As the limitation of the study, some of the variables considered by the researcher under the code of conduct related to decorum were in the chapel, during the flag ceremony, and boy-girl relationship which are based on the Student Handbook of Sacred Heart College (2011) these variables have no clear rules and regulations written in the Student's Success Handbook of the research locale.Due to this, the three variables were considered and included in the content of the output.
The respondents of this study were thirty Junior High School teachers from a private school in Quezon Province.With regard the research instrument, a validated research-made questionnaire was utilized in gathering the data.To find out the result of the data gathered, statistical analysis was done through the use of WAM (Weighted Arithmetic Mean).The duration of the study was from July 7, 2018, to May 4, 2019.

Research Design
This study employed the descriptive-evaluative method of research since it basically described the condition of schools in terms of managing student behavior.Specifically, the main focus of the study was to identify the challenges encountered and strategies employed in managing the students' behavior by the Junior High School teachers in a private school in Quezon Province.
A Teachers' Guidebook on Managing the Students' Behavior as the output of the study was developed to enhance the strategies employed by the Junior High School teachers to manage the behavior of the students.In this output, the teachers are guided in managing the student behavior and were given tips on how to cope effectively with those challenges.

Research Locale
The study was conducted in an institution located at Poblacion 1 Rama St. Muntingbayan Sariaya, Quezon.This institution is one of the Catholic schools in Quezon Province.Based on the record of the Registrar's Office, supported by the Office of the Principal, the total number of enrollees in that institution for the A.Y. 2018-2019 is 1060.It is composed of one hundred seventyone (171) Grade School pupils, seven hundred ten (710) Junior High School students, and one hundred seventy-nine (179) Senior High School students.
The prominent program implemented in the school to address the students' misbehavior is peer counseling from Grade 7 to Grade 10 headed by trained Grade 12-HUMMS students who are supervised by the Guidance Advocate.The purpose of this program is to release the stresses or problems of the students through the help of Grade 12-HUMMS.It is a closed door program where the students and facilitators are the only persons inside the classroom to make it private and avoid inhibitions.The program is on its second year of implementation; based on the feedbacks of the students and teachers, a great improvement is seen among the behavior of the students.Despite of this effort, still a number of students are seen with negative behavior.This prompted the researcher to conduct this study to help the teachers having difficulty in management of students' behavior.

Research Population
The respondents of the study were the Junior High School teachers of a private school in Quezon Province who are teaching in the Junior High School Department and willing to participate in the study.Based on the records of the administrative secretary, the number of teachers who teach in the Junior High School Department was thirty (30) in total.

Research Instrument
The researcher used a researcher-made questionnaire which was divided into two parts.The first part elicited answers on the challenges encountered by the Junior High School Teachers in managing student behavior.There are fifteen (15) items for Code of Conduct Related to Discipline while seventy-six (76) items for Code of Conduct Related to Decorum for a total of ninety-one (91) items.The respondents checked the choices that correspond to their answers.The second part contained the strategies employed by Junior High School teachers in managing students' behavior.There are fifteen (15) items under the code of conduct related to discipline while seventy-five (75) items for Code of Conduct Related to Decorum for a total of seventy (70) items.
Before the researcher administered the questionnaire, the questionnaire underwent content validation by the three experts who were knowledgeable in the field.They were a principal, a guidance counselor, and a prefect of discipline.After this, the researcher revised the questionnaire based on the suggestions and recommendations of the validators with the assistance of the thesis adviser.Then, the researcher pilot tested the questionnaire in St.Joseph Academy of Sariaya, an institution which is similar to the chosen research locale, to establish the validity and reliability of the instrument.In line with this, the researcher asked ten teachers in Junior High School Department about their thoughts for the questionnaire.The researcher revised the questionnaire based on the feedback gathered after the pilot testing.

Data Gathering Procedure
In accomplishing this study, the following procedures were considered: The researcher sought the approval of the principal in the research locale.After receiving the approval, a copy of the questionnaire was given to the respondents of the study which were the Junior High School Teachers.The questionnaires were personally handed by the researcher to the respondents.This is to provide assistance in any questions that they have in accomplishing the questionnaires, however, the researcher did not in any way influence the respondents.
The distribution of the questionnaires was done after the faculty meeting of the respondents.They were given ample time to accomplish the research instrument to ensure the reliability of data.
Afterwards, the questionnaire were personally retrieved by the researcher to tally and statistically treat the responses of the respondents.

Statistical Treatment of Data
The researcher used a standard statistical tool in order to come up with the result of this study.These statistical tool was Weighted Arithmetic Mean (WAM).
1. Weighted Arithmetic Mean-the researcher used WAM to measure the responses of the respondents in terms of challenges encountered and strategies employed by the Junior High School Teachers in managing the student behavior.This was categorized into two Code of Conduct Related to Discipline and Code of Conduct Related to Decorum.
The formula for the weighted arithmetic mean is shown:

WAM = ∑ fw n
Where: f is the frequency w is the weight n is the number of responses The researcher utilized Simplified Statistics for Beginner (SSB) a software licensed to Sacred Heart College, Lucena City to facilitate the computation of the numerical data gathered.Moreover, the researcher used the four-point Likert Scale and qualitative indices.
Each item in the questionnaire was answered by the respondents by using a four-point Likert scale using the verbal indices below.The researcher utilized these indices to determine the challenges encountered and strategies employed in managing the students' behavior by the Junior High School Teachers in a private school in Sariaya, Quezon.
