Augustinian Recollect Student Crusaders’ Response to Educational Disruption at Colegio De Santa Rita De San Carlos, Inc.: Basis for a Matatag Student Activity Model

Abstract

This study analyzed the response of Augustinian Recollect Student Crusaders (ARSC) at Colegio de Santa Rita de San Carlos, Inc., to educational disruptions. With challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic and a campus fire, the study examined student resilience strategies. Employing an explanatory sequential method and Methodological Triangulation Approach, the research blends quantitative and qualitative data to understand statistical relationships and lived experiences. Results suggested a weak positive correlation between academics and co-curricular activities. ARSC officers demonstrated adaptability by overcoming scheduling challenges and utilizing educational resources during disruptions. Their experiences informed the creation of a Matatag Student Activity Model, designed to back up the Matatag curriculum’s strengths and address potential shortcomings. This model integrated program planning, academic support, extracurricular, and socio-emotional learning, offering strategies for enhancing student resilience during the transition and disruptions, ensuring student resilience during curriculum transitions and disruptions, and strengthening the activity framework at Colegio de Santa Rita de San Carlos, Inc.
