Behavioral aspects and the academic performance during pandemic of sixth graders
Abstract
This study sought to determine the behavioral aspects during the pandemic and the academic performance of Grade VI pupils at Bulalacao Central School as the basis for proposing an intervention program. This study made use of descriptive-correlation methods of research. Randomly selected respondents were from three (3) sections. The study used a validated researcher-made instrument that had reliability testing. Results revealed many behavioral aspects during the pandemic across indicators (Mental Aspects—2.81; Emotional Aspects—2.87; Social Aspects—2.99; and Physical Aspects—2.94). Pupils are on a satisfactory level of academic performance during the first and second quarters. Moreover, a significant relationship existed between the variables. With these, pupils had a great extent of behavioral aspects during the pandemic and had a satisfactory performance during the first and second quarters; the extent of their behavioral aspects during the pandemic affects the level of their academic performance; and the implementation of the psychosocial program was needed to boost their mental aspects as pupils.
