This chapter present analyses and interprets the data generated for the extent of
teachers classroom behavior, pupils classroom participation and pupils classroom
behavior, and significant differences of the variables between the two school districts and
its relationship among the aforementioned variables.
The variable was measured in this study using the following indicators; clarity,
disclosure, enthusiasm, interaction, organization, pacing, rapport, and speech, and the data
generated for this indicators are shown in Table 2 to 10 for both Labangan I and II school
districts.
Clarity. The data generated for this sub-variable of teachers classroom behavior of
the two school districts was shown in Table 2.
As indicated in the table, for the Labangan I, the highest mean of 3.63, interpreted
as always, is posted on Item 10 (Explains subjects matter in familiar colloquial language),
and the lowest mean of 2.53, also interpreted as sometimes, is posted on Item 2 (Uses
concrete everyday examples to explain concepts and principles).

The overall mean of 3.16 is garnered by teachers in the Labangan I school district,
indicating that their extent of teachers classroom behavior in terms of clarity is sometimes.
For Labangan II school district, the highest mean of 3.73, interpreted as always, is
posted on Item 1 (Gives several examples of each concept), and the lowest mean of 3.03,

The overall mean of 3.38 is garnered by teachers in Labangan II schools, indicating
that their extent of teachers classroom behavior in terms of clarity is always.
The findings for the two groups of respondents show that teachers in Labangan I
practiced classroom behavior of clarity only on the sometimes level, while those in
Labangan II practiced it always. According to Cooper and Simonds (2003), teachers act on
a different manner of presenting knowledge that could be easily understood by learners.
This is best way to affect teaching and learning process especially in the elementary level.

The findings for the two groups of respondents show that teachers in Labangan I
practiced classroom behavior of enthusiasm only on the sometimes level, while in those in
Labangan II practiced it always. Accordingly, some teachers solicit for pupils attention
and interest by using appropriate language and humorous lesson material. This usually
happened on a situation when teachers have interest and excitement in teaching a diverse
group of students and providing the best opportunity for student success. It is an effort to
attain a friendlier teacher-pupil classroom environment. Baum (2002) contend that a more
important thing to happen in a classroom is that teachers involvement and excitement
communicate themselves to students, helping to engage them in a learning process
Interaction. The data generated for this sub-variable of teachers classroom
behavior of the two school districts was shown in Table 5.

The overall mean of 3.05 is garnered by teachers in the Labangan II, indicating that
their extent of teachers classroom behavior in terms of interaction is also sometimes.
The findings revealed that teachers sometimes practiced classroom behavior of
interaction of both school districts. This action is an approach used by most teachers to
foster students participation through the use of high-level questioning to stimulate pupils
critical thinking skills.
Moreover, Down (2005) also pointed out that teaching interaction approach is also
designed to help pupils learn appropriate social and school-related behaviors. It begins
with an expression of affection and incorporates descriptions of the appropriate activities
and feedback.
Organization. The data generated for this sub-variable of teachers classroom
behavior of the two school districts was shown in Table 6.

organizational behavior which involves the ways of organizing or structuring the subject
matter. The lectures and topics to be discussed fit to the needs of the pupils as Baum
(p. 73) contend that an effective approach to classroom management includes organization
of instruction and support activities, and procedures and behavior rules in line to effective
teaching.

The findings revealed that the practiced of rapport as behavior of the teacher in the
classroom is sometimes in both school. The sameness of the results shows that teachers of
both districts have time to time ensures interpersonal relations between teachers and pupils.
This finding is supported by (Ramsden, et. al, 1995) who states that teacher with
strong empathy to their pupils show they care about them as people. They are masters of
the subject matter and exhibit expertise in the subjects they are teaching. They have a
caring attitude, and a love of learning, knowledge of discipline and classroom management
technique. This motivates pupils who are subjected with variety of forces to earn good
grades. It is also in this quality that teachers recognize the pupils strength and weaknesses.

The overall mean of 3.43 is garnered by teachers in the Labangan II, indicating that
their extent of teachers classroom behavior in terms of speech is always.
The findings for the two groups of respondents show that teachers in Labangan I
practiced classroom behavior of speech only on the sometimes level, while in those in
Labangan II practiced it always. They differ descriptively on the practice of classroom
behavior on speech which involves teachers voice characteristics that are relevant to
classroom teaching.
Rogerson and Dodd (2005), state that difficulties in class management can result
from the lack of knowledge that the teachers have about the effect of their voice on their
pupils. Inappropriate voice and body movement that appears uncontrolled can often lead to
uninvited chatter and 'irritating misbehavior of pupils. Earnestness and energy in the voice,
its control and pleasing quality, and influence all harmonize assure effective
communication of ideas.

components are anchored on the always scale: clarity, enthusiasm and speech. The rest of
the components are anchored on the sometimes practiced scale. The over-all mean for the
variable of 3.96, interpreted as always practiced, which indicates that the teachers in the
Labangan II district practiced the components of classroom behavior always.
The findings for the two groups of teachers reveal that they are differently
categorized practicing the classroom behavior to sometimes and always for Labangan I and
Labangan II, respectively. This observation conforms to the objective of the study, which is
to establish the significance difference between teachers in the Labangan I and Labangan II
in terms of the variables. The conclusion of this problem, however, is held in abeyance,
pending to the result of the testing of the hypothesis.
The variable was measured in this study using the following indicators; procedural
participation, and substantive participation and the data generated for this indicators are
shown in Table 11 and 13 for both Labangan I and II school districts.
Procedural Participation. The data generated for this sub-variable of pupils
classroom participation of the two school districts was shown in Table 11.

For the Labangan II, the highest mean of 3.38, interpreted as always, is posted on
Item 2 (I praise classmates for good work ), and the lowest mean of 2.21, interpreted as
often, is posted on Item 3 (I agree with classmates to certain idea or proposal ).
The overall mean of 3.07 is garnered by teachers in the Labangan II, indicating that
their extent of teachers classroom behavior in terms of relations-oriented behavior is often.
The findings show that there is a disparity on the description of the pupils behavior
in Labangan I and Labangan II. Pupils in Labangan I have an always relation-oriented
behavior, while in Labangan II only have an oftentimes related-oriented behavior. They
look on the satisfaction, motivation and the general well-being of the group members.
Arana, et. al (p, 125) elaborated that these actions encourages good teamwork and
collaboration, through fostering positive relationships and good communication. It also
prioritizes the welfare of everyone in the group, and will place time and effort in meeting
the individual needs of everyone involved.
Self-Oriented Behavior. The data generated for this sub-variable of teachers
classroom behavior of the two school districts was shown in Table 16.

For the Labangan II, the highest mean of 2.40, interpreted as seldom, is posted on
Item 13 (I do not participate actively in class interactions), and the lowest mean of 1.43,
interpreted as never, is posted on Item 8 (I assert authority to classmates or group).
The overall mean of 1.87 is garnered by teachers in the Labangan II, indicating that
their extent of teachers classroom behavior in terms of self-oriented behavior is also
seldom.
The findings indicated that the group of pupils in the aforementioned districts is
generally not a self-oriented behavior. The pupils show concerned with its other by helping
oneself and at the same helping others. They tended to avoid behaviors that could build a
negative effect on fostering positive interaction, create conflicts, dissatisfaction, resentment
and even boredom with group peers. A self-oriented behavior is to perceive things
according to how a person will be affected by a situation without consideration for other
people, or the environment the person finds themselves in (Griffin and Ebert, 2010).
Summary of Pupils Classroom Behavior. Table 17 presents the summary of the
variable for pupils classroom behavior for Labangan I and Labangan II districts.
As indicated in the table, for pupils in Labangan I district, the highest mean of 3.37,
interpreted as always practiced, is posted for relation-oriented behavior, and the lowest
mean of 2.13, interpreted as seldom practiced, is posted for self-oriented behavior. The
other component is anchored on the often practiced scale. The over-all average weighted
mean for the variable of 2.87, which indicates that the pupils in said district oftentimes
practiced the components of pupils classroom behavior.

There were four hypotheses proposed for testing in terms for there validity, using
the 0.05 level of significance.
Hypothesis No. 1. There are significant differences of the levels of practice of
teachers classroom behavior between the two school districts.
Table 18 shows the result of the test of significant difference in the levels of
practice of classroom behavior between teachers in Labangan I and Labangan II districts.

As shown in the table, for clarity, enthusiasm, organization and speech, the testing
yielded probability values of 0.0218, 0.0114, 0.0267, and 0.0154 respectively, which are
lower than 0.05 level of significance, those accepting the hypothesis and established a
significance difference between teachers in the two school districts on the aforementioned
components.
For disclosure, interaction, pacing and rapport, the testing yielded probability
58
values of 0.8406, 0.6022, 0.6271 and 0.7546 respectively, which are larger than 0.05 level
of significance, those rejecting the hypothesis and established no significant difference
between teachers in the two school districts on the aforementioned components.
The result of testing the first hypothesis shows that the hypothesis is accepted and
there is a significant difference on clarity, enthusiasm, organization and speech. This is so
because the indices posted by the two groups of teachers were categorized as sometimes
practices for Labangan I district and always practiced for Labangan II district. While no
significant difference was noted between the two school districts in terms of the other four
components of classroom behavior. This result is in order because the indices posted by the
two groups of teachers for the four other components were categorically similar.
Hypothesis No. 2. There are significant differences in the levels of pupils
classroom participations in the two school districts.
Table 19 shows the result of the test of significant difference in the levels of
classroom behavior between pupils in Labangan I and Labangan II districts.

of significance, those accepting the hypothesis and established no significance difference
between pupils in the two school districts on the aforementioned components.
The result of testing the second hypothesis shows that the hypothesis is rejected and
there is no significant difference on procedural and substantive participations. This is so
because the indices posted by the two groups of pupils were categorized as oftentimes
practices for Labangan I district and always practiced for Labangan II district. While no
significant difference was noted between the two school districts in terms of the two
indicators of classroom participations. This result is in order because the indices posted by
the two groups of pupils for the two indicators were categorically similar.
Hypothesis No. 3. There are significant differences of the levels pupils manifest
classroom behaviors in the two school districts.
Table 20 shows the result of the test of significant difference in the levels pupils
manifest classroom behavior between Labangan I and Labangan II districts.

difference between pupils in the two school districts on the aforementioned indicators.
For relation-oriented behavior, the testing yielded probability value of 0.0368
which is smaller than 0.05 level of significance, those accepting the hypothesis and
established a significant difference between teachers in the two school districts on the
aforementioned indicator.
The result show that testing of the third hypothesis show that the hypothesis is
accepted only in the relation-oriented behavior indicator. This is so because the indices
posted by the two groups of pupils for relation-oriented behavior was categorized as
always for Labangan I district and often for Labangan II district. While no significant
difference was noted between the two school districts in terms of the other two indicators
of classroom behavior. This result is in order because the indices posted by the two groups
of pupils for the two indicators were categorically similar.
Hypothesis No. 4. There is a significant relationship between teacher behavior and
the following variables; pupils classroom participation, and pupils classroom behavior.
Table 21 shows the result of the test of significant relationship of teachers
classroom behavior with pupils classroom participation and pupils classroom behavior.

As shown in the table, the testing yielded probability values of 0.0192 and 0.0208
for pupils classroom participation and pupils classroom behavior, respectively which are
smaller than 0.05 level of significance, those accepting the hypothesis and established a
significant relationship of teachers classroom behavior with that of pupils classroom
participation and pupils classroom behavior.
The finding is supported by the study of Napell (2001) who stresses the contention
that behavior in the classroom can be categorized under two main headings: those that
inhibit learning and those that facilitate learning. Considerable behavior during classroom
discussion is an instructive teaching skill that helps promotes pupil classroom interaction
among peers and assists learning. While insensitive teaching hinder pupils classroom
curiosity and interferes learning.
Action Plan is Designed Improve the Pupils Class Participation and Behavior.
An action plan was designed to improve the pupils class participation and
behavior. The action plan has an intention to create an effective teachers classroom
behavior to enhance pupils classroom participation and behavior. Objectives, strategies,
resources, person responsible, time frame and the expected output of this action plan are
presented in Appendix C.
