INTRODUCTIONc

‫ڍ‬Cleanliness is next to Godliness.‫ څ ڎ‬The
unknown writer once said.Is San Sebastian College
Recoletos, Manila High School Department next to
Godliness? Do students thinks about the cleanliness
of the environment? Or are they only thinking for
themselves? Are the students responsible enough to
dispose their trash properly? What you will do if you
see a candy wrapper on the floor? Do you have the
initiative to pick it up and throw it in the trash bin?
Or you will just stare at it and ignore it?
 Example of which is James Ocampo of IV-St.
Augustine a candidate for valedictorian of batch
2009-2010 he always organize his things properly. Never
tries to work on a messy environment. No pieces of
paper can be seen in his own vicinity. Is this the
reason why he is a for valedictorian of batch
2009-1010? Can clean environment or messy environment
improved or disrupt one‫ڊ‬s work? On the other hand,
there were some who don‫ڊ‬t give much priority on keeping
their things well arranged but still manage to be
on top.

Example of which is Merraniza Musa of 4 -

St. Augustine. As you take a look on her own
materials, her own bag you may see a bag full of books,
trash of papers, pencil and ball point everywhere,
Xerox papers in crumbled form yet when you see the
bulletinboard for top 10 and her name was there and
one of those with flying colors.

Why is it like this? Can a messy

environment be a place for an individual to study
and focus well? If that so, what is the ideal
environment for a student of San Sebastian College -
Recoletos, Manila High School Department?What are
the effects of clean environment for a student to
study on or clean environment don‫ڊ‬t affect it all.

This research aims to promote and develop

the cleanliness habits of the students. Cleanliness
was defined as ‫ڍ‬free from dirt‫ ڎ‬and habits were defined
as routines of behavior. Therefor cleanliness habits
are routines that an individual does for himself and
for the environment.
The researchers were pushed to make a
research on this issue because of the observations that
were observed by the researchers from the students who
lack initiative to clean his/her mess. Also the
researchers thought that this study would help the
student improve his/her discipline. It would also help
the school, community and the environment.
The researchers thought that many would
benefit from this study. First, the students. The
students would improve his/her discipline and would be
more responsible. Many students lack responsibility
and initiative. Next, it would benefit the school. And
lastly, it would benefit the community and the
environment.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

c
 The researchers were pushed to study the
topic because of some situations that they‫ڊ‬ve
witnessed. Some of the conditions are as follows:

First inside the classroom, students leave

their candy wrappers and crumpled paperson the floor,
on their chair, everywhere! Even if they are aware that
there is a trash bin inside their classrooms, they
are not throwing their trash properly. Books and
notebook are not organized, chairs are not properly
aligned. Some of the students are not responsible to
arrange their materials inside of their lockers.

Second in the canteen, students just leave

their plastic cups and food wrappers or containers
on the table after eating. They are mostly depending on
the sanitary personnel to clean their mess. But as a
responsible student they should know how to clean their
mess on their own.

This study aims to help the students improve their

cleanliness habits in school, for them to avoid
sickness.

RESEARCH LOCALE

San Sebastian College ‫ څ‬Recoletos Manila

is found right in the heart of Manila along Claro M.
Recto Avenue and a few meters from Mendiola. It is also
located in the University Belt surrounded by modern
entertainments and commercial centers in an area where
institutions of learning rub elbows with the center of
activities.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

The study was premised on the theory

provided by John Dewey who said that ‫ڍ‬Habitsas
organized activities are secondary and acquired,
not native and original. They are outgrowths of
unlearned activities which are part of man‫ڊ‬s
endowment at birth.‫ڎ‬

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The main purpose of this study is to make an

evaluation on the cleanliness habits of the High
School students of the San Sebastian College ‫څ‬
Recoletos, Manila.

Specifically, the study sought answers to the

following questions:

1.cWhat are the common habits of High

School students of San Sebastian College
‫ څ‬Recoletos, Manila?
2.cHow do High School students show their
cleanliness habits?
 3.cWhy do High School students need to
observe cleanliness habits?
4.cDo cleanliness habits affect the studies
of High School students?

HYPOTHESES

The following null hypotheses were tested in

this study:

1.cThe High School students of SSC ‫ څ‬R,

Manila have different habits. Different
good and bad habits are among those
habits.
2.cCleanliness habits can be observed in
the behavior of the individual. Through
his/her actions, attitudes and the way
he/she thinks and speaks.
3.cThe school needs to observed cleanliness
habits in order to have disciplined
students and clean surroundings.
4.cCleanliness habits affect the student in
his/her study.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY

 This study was conducted to identify
cleanliness habit of the high school students in San
Sebastian College ‫ څ‬Recoletos in the city of Manila. It
has forty respondents (ten students in each unit)
through a survey with the use of questionnaire. This
covers from twelve to eighteen years old on January to
February in the year two thousand ten.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Cleanliness habit is a manner of being

clean, neat and tidy. This is habitually and
carefully done by any person. Clean means free from
dirt, contaminant, soil or impurity. Cleanliness
habit is very important for the students,
cleanliness in us, in our surroundings and
the foods we eat. If we do not do this,
this will affect our health.

As students we should do our cleanliness

habit to maintain our health so as to cope up with
our daily activities in school. In school we study our
lessons, as students we are expected to actively
participate in the discussion of our lessons. That
means a student should always be alert an keen
observant in the class at all times. We also have
extracurricular activities that we should be
participated in. If we are able to cope up with
these activities, therefore, we can say that we are
healthy.
 The Department of Education in
collaboration with the Department of Health posted
their programs in cleanliness habits drive with the
promotion and maintenance of health for the
students. In spite of these programs, there are
reported cases of students of being sick or
unhealthy caused by unclean surroundings,
contaminated foods they eat by not doing their
cleanliness habit for themselves.

It is said that the youth is the hope of

the nation. What is a nation of today if its next
generation is unhealthy? Thus, this study is conducted
to identify cleanliness habit of high school students
in San Sebastian College ‫ څ‬Recoletos that probably
affect their present health situation and it is
hoped that this study will improve the cleanliness
habit of the student.

REVIEW OF RELATED
LITERATURE

RELATED LITERATURE

In the book ‫ڍ‬Man and His Actions‫ ڎ‬of

Norlito A. Ignacio he said that we do not perform an
act only for the first and last time. Rather, after an
act is done there is a strong tendency that this
act will be repeated given the same or at least a
similar situation under which we performed the act
for the first time. This repetition of the same act
leads to the formation or acquisition of habit.
 William Sheldon said on his theory that
human behavior is traced to the joint effects of the
organism‫ڊ‬s inherited capabilities and past experience.

Sigmund Fraud said that human behavior is

determined by a person‫ڊ‬s past (childhood)
experiences, which color his/her perceptions of current
events.

John Dollard and Neal Miller said that

human behavior results from an organism‫ڊ‬s past
learning, current perceptions, and higher level
processes of thinking.

Carl Rogers said that human behavior can

be understood only in terms of the person‫ڊ‬s
internal perceptions of self and others leading toward
personal fulfillment.

CONCLUSION

After conducting the study, the researchers

made the following conclusions:

ëc 90% of the respondents think that they are

responsible enough to dispose theirtrash
properly
ëc Most of the respondents have bad habits of
nail-biting.
ëc Most of the respondentswash their hands before
eating.
ëc Most of the respondents left their leftover
after finish eating.
 ëc Most of the respondents are not aware of the
programs of the High School department
regarding cleanliness and discipline.
