PAULINIAN CORE VALUES AND LEARNING OUTCOMES DEMONSTRATED BY STUDENTS AS PERCEIVED BY THE PAULINIAN COMMUNITY

Abstract

This descriptive quantitative study determined the Paulinian Core Values and Learning Outcomes demonstrated by the Paulinian students as perceived by the Paulinian community or stakeholders at St. Paul University Surigao during the academic year 2021-2022. The study was done using validated researcher-made questionnaires that contained the indicators stating the demonstrable behaviors of Paulinian learning outcomes. The said Paulinian learning outcomes were derived from the Paulinian core values (Ederio, et.al., 2021). The participants were the Paulinian students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and parents who were selected randomly. Data gathered were analyzed using the means, standard deviation, and analysis of variance. The faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and parents perceived that the students under study achieved and demonstrated the Paulinians learning outcomes and Core Values to a very high extent. The students themselves also perceived that they have achieved and demonstrated the Paulinian learning outcomes and core values to a very high extent. This means that there was no significant difference in the overall perceptions of the students, faculty, staff, administrators, alumni, and parents as to the Paulinians’ demonstrated learning outcomes and core values thus further implying that these outcomes and core values were extensively demonstrated by the Paulinian students. However, among all specific indicators, there were three specific outcome indicators where the stakeholders’ responses significantly differed. Nevertheless, all Paulinian stakeholders similarly believed that the Paulinian students have demonstrated the Paulinian Core Values and Learning Outcomes to a very acceptable level and high extent. With the resulting outcome of the conducted study, it is recommended that the Paulinian institution continues to strengthen its campaign and wide dissemination and inculturation of the Paulinian values not only to the students but also to all internal and external stakeholders of the school community.
