CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Values Integration is a channel of values development through the teaching-learning
activities in the different learning areas. Values integration does not mean quoting a value and
discussing it. It is teaching the students to see a personal meaning in whatever teachers teach in
the classroom.
Family plays a huge role in almost every culture in existence. Everyone on this planet is
part of a family, whether it is their biological family or one of their own making. The glue that
binds such a family is the core values that they choose to uphold. Family values then include the
qualities that are most important to us as a family, such as integrity, hard work and kindness; they
also define what you believe is right and wrong. Your family’s moral definitions might shape you
for example, what you consider acceptable for public conduct work, ethic, and social views.
Something that’s very important to teach children is moral values because moral values, directly
or indirectly, affect everything you can do in life, and it all starts at home.
According to Michael (2016), Even though the world changes rapidly, the values that
students need to develop are actually not really much different to those that were taught in
ancient generations. It is just the application of those values in education that has changed.
Showing respect to others, for instance, or caring for the environment are just as important as
they ever were – and maybe even more so – but they are now applicable in a variety of new
ways.

St. Alexius College
This study shows the common family values taught at home and in school and the way
those values are being practiced by the respondents. The researchers chose this topic in order to
identify if the respondents are valuing those values and so as if they are practicing it. The
researchers want to know if there is a contradictor or parallelism of what people value and
practice.
Conceptual Framework
IV - DV
 Teaching
Family values
 Valuing
 Living
The framework above shows that the study is about family values which is the
independent variable, while the dependent variables are the teaching, valuing and living because
these concepts connects to the main topic, and these are the variables that shows how the
respondents practice and lived within the values.
Statement of the Problem
The study will determine the family values taught, valued, and lived by the respondents.
Specifically, it will answer the following questions:

3
St. Alexius College
1. What are the family values commonly taught at home and in the school?
2. What are the family values being valued the most by the respondents?
3. What are the family values being practiced by the respondents?
Significance of the study
The significance of the study is a part of the introduction of a thesis. It should determine
who benefits from the study and how that specific audience will benefit from its findings.
The recipients will benefit from this study. They can learn from the information of this
study and apply it in their daily lives and change their ways of living in a better way. This will
help them to develop responsibility, honesty and respect that are usually considered just as
important as teaching reading or comprehension skills. This can be beneficial to students to
develop their relationship within their family and friends and to improve themselves.
This study is very important because not only the readers will benefit from this study.
The researchers will be able to fully understand the importance of values in one’s self for he/she
maybe also one of the students that could benefit from this study. The researcher could also
improve his behaviour and learn more from this study that surely will help him to be a better
person he was before.
This study is also important to the parents because they are the ones who are responsible
in helping their children. There are lots of great values to teach their child, which can help them
to avoid peer pressure or the temptation to conform to consumer culture’s demands.

4
St. Alexius College
This will also help the teachers to improve their teaching especially in values integration.
They might consider this study to help them identify what are those values they should taught
first to the students.
The school is the one who is going to reach out to the parents to help them be aware of
what is happening to their children or what kind of behaviour the students has. They might
consider this study to be helpful because it can help them improve their system or way of
learning.
This study is conducted to help evaluate what are the differences of values that are taught
in home and values that are being taught in school. This could help the society to realize that
values or moral values are important in their daily lives because it affects everything they do,
especially to their future.
Scope and limitation
The scope of the study involves the time & money spent, the tools/materials and
techniques used, and the number of personnel needed for the experiment to be completed.
The researchers will conduct this study mostly in their school, St. Alexius College, and at
their homes. Junior and Senior High School students of St. Alexius College will be the
respondents of this study. The study is about the family values being taught in home and school
to the respondents and how to develop and build up their relationship. It does not include the
other factors that can affect the values being lived by the respondents; it only talks about family
values and values taught in school.
The main source of this research is to gather data collection on how the values are being
5
St. Alexius College
lived by the students, if there is a difference between valuing values at home and school; on how
each students give importance of valuing family traditions. Students will answer the given
questions in the survey that are only related to Family Values and Values taught in school.

CHAPTER II
Review of Related Literature
The chapter II contains studies, inquiries, or investigations already conducted to which
the present proposed study is relate or has some bearing or similarity. They are usually
unpublished materials such as manuscripts, theses, and dissertations.
Family is a strong word. It is the most important thing in our life. It means to feel secure
to have someone who you can count on, who shares your problem, but it also means to have
respect for each other and responsibility.
The first education begins in the family. If a child doesn’t learn anything in his/her
family, he/she cannot be successful. Love, respect and morals are things that starts from the
family.
Everybody leaves but the family is permanent. The family members never leave each
other behind. Teenagers sometimes hate their parents but their parents always understand about
this situation. If their children fall into wrong paths, they try to save them because that is what
families do.
Family has different activities that they do together. According to Clark (2013) Family
rituals are other meaningful way to create family values. These rituals can be a simple as eating a
meal together every day, celebrating birthdays, holidays or other special event.
7
St. Alexius College
Family values are shared by having discussions about current events or situations your
child is exposed to in everyday life. Try not to isolate your child too much. Gradually, expose
them to different situations in society and help them learn how to deal with conflicting values.
You then can have great conversations on how everyone has different sets of values and morals.
Family values are the foundation that guides us. They are created from
the morals, integrity and rules on how we live our life. These values dictate how we parent,
manage money, deal with relationships and more. Many human development
specialists and studies have written on the importance of family values and morals. Values teach
what the household believes is right and wrong.
Parents and caregivers can do a number of things to pass on family values to their
children. For family values to work, they need to have worth and value to everyone in the
household. They are about teaching and if they are not practicing what they preach, then they are
creating a double standard. For example, if “no swearing” is a rule then they should not swear. If
they tell their children one thing but have done the opposite, they have decreased the worth of the
moral or value. The chances of their children adopting that moral or value will become less.
Values give families a guide on how they live their life. It influences decision making,
relationships, influences judgment and behavior. As parents and caregivers, family values protect
the kids against making hurtful decisions in the future.
The phrase “family values”, According to (Price 2016) conjures an array of reactions in
today’s politically charged world, and that’s a shame because whether our family values are
8
St. Alexius College
conservative or liberal, they shouldn’t really change the ideals we hold for raising and educating
our children.
Filipino values refer to the set of values or the value system that a majority of the Filipino
have traditionally held important in their lives. This Filipino values includes unique cultural and
personal values that an individual holds to spread and influence next generation to develop and
acquire those traditions, upbringing obligation, friendship, religion, relationship and other factors
within society.
A Filipino values symbolizes cultural attributes of the Philippines which specify the
moral being of a Filipino people. Traditions, beliefs, religion are mainly important for Filipino
values.
The Filipino family consists of many traditional values that have been treasured and
passed on for many generations already. These values are incredibly beneficial.
Filipino Family Values taught at home and school:
Saying “po” and “opo”
Respect in an English translation of “paggalang” means to be respectful or to give respect
to a person. According to Gendrala, A. Filipinos are accustomed to using the words ‘’po”, “opo”,
and “ho” when they are conversing with older people or, sometimes, with those who are in a
high role or a prestigious member of the society. These words are used to show respect to people
9
St. Alexius College
of elder level. Even adults will be criticized for not using these words when speaking with their
parents or people older than them. Inside the family, the parents are expected to receive the
highest respect from the children along with the elder siblings; as they are given more
responsibilities to look after younger siblings when parents are not around. Using the words is
customary in the Philippines, and it shows a sign of respect if you do so. “Paggalang” can also be
shown toward your elders by kissing their hands before leaving/to say goodbye and upon
arrival/to greet them. The younger members of the family can show respect toward older siblings
by calling them “kuya” (older brother) or “ate” (older sister).
Avoid talking back
Children fighting back or addressing parents or elder siblings with arrogant tone are not
at all tolerated. According to Gendrala, A. parents do not like their children talking back at them
when they try to discipline their child. They should not talk back as a sign of respect to their
parents and obedience.
Being obedient
Being obedient means someone who knows the rules and follows instructions. The word
obedient comes from a Latin word meaning “to obey”, it’s easy to remember what obedient
means. Obedience to God in the bible relates to hearing a higher authority. Being obedient means
willing to do what you have been told to do by someone in authority.

10
St. Alexius College
According to Lofgreen K. being obedient means being willing to make right choices.
Being Honest
Being honest leads to a fulfilling and free life, honesty is not just about telling the truth,
it’s about being real with yourself and others about who you are, what you want and what you
need to live your most authentic life. Honesty promotes openness, empowers us and enables us
to develop consistency in how we present the facts, truthful and sincere no matter what.
Honesty is the recognition of the fact that the unreal is unreal and can have no value, the
neither love nor fame nor cash is a value if obtained by fraud.
Many children think honesty means you don’t tell a lie and that is definitely part of being
honest. But honesty means more than not lying and shows good character is a positive social
character trait where you tell the truth, promotes courage, care, circle of love, maturity, and self
acceptance.
According to Gendrala, A. honesty helps to build trust, improve the relationship, and
develop societies. That’s why honesty is really important to live freely, happy and prosperous in
life. An example of honest is someone admitting they cheated on a test.
No swearing or cursing
According to Gendrala, A. no swearing or cursing, is also one of the values being taught
at home and in school, its probably safe to assume that as long as humans have been speaking,
we’ve been cussing and cursing. What can the connection between “curses,” “swear”, “cuss” and
“profanity” tell us about all the words we aren’t supposed to say, yet say with great frequency?
11
St. Alexius College
Swearing and poor language is not acceptable in any professional setting. Swearing is
dysfunctional to the cohesiveness of teams. Many employees find use of expletives as
discourteous and quickly lose respect for those using profane language.
Bad language is unacceptable behavior. Organizations should require that employees exercise
common sense and avoid using colorful language.
The use of profanity or “dirty”, words is almost a developmentally normal behavior for
children during middle childhood and early adolescence. For these youngsters, swearing is often
a sign of being worldly-wise and unafraid to be a little ‘bad”.
This phenomenon of cursing seems to lose its attraction and abate as children become
more mature. Until then, youngsters often delight in shocking their parents with the swear words
they have learned away from home. It is not a sign of emotional disturbance. However, if there
are other problems chronic lying, chronic stealing, or difficulty with peers than swearing may be
just another symptom of a psychological pr social disturbance.
These can be involved in daily habits but we should remember respecting and valuing
others can be more important than impressing others without morality.
Prioritizing family first
According to Gendrala, A. Pagpapahalaga sa Pamilya (Prioritizing Family) is one of the
values taught at home and in school. “Pagpapahalaga sa Pamilya” in other words: putting
importance on your family. This implies that a person will place a high regard on their family
and prioritize that before anything else. For example, this is why it's not uncommon for a father
or a mother in a Filipino family from the Philippines to seek employment abroad or a job they
12
St. Alexius College
don't want just to earn a decent wage for their family. They've placed the utmost priority on
meeting the family’s basic needs and toward practicing “pagpapahalaga sa pamilya”.
According to Bautista, R (2011) there is many OFW’s (Overseas Filipino Workers)
because the Filipinos loved and valued the welfare of their family. They are willing to sacrifice
all for their sake. While Viray, R said it is a family that matters most to all Filipinos. Everything
else is also anchored on family. It is the family from which the Filipinos draw much love,
support and endless happiness.
Filipinos highly value the presence of their families more than anything. Regardless of
the liberal influence they have gotten from the west, the family remained the basic unit of their
society. This trait clearly shows among Filipinos abroad who suffer homesickness and tough
work just to support their families back home in the Philippines.
Hospitality
This is one of the most popular qualities of Filipinos, according to Batadlan, K.
Foreigners who have gone to the Philippines find themselves falling in love with the warm
hospitality they are shown. It's a different kind of value system, which has existed for thousands
of years. Here are some examples of the hospitality that Filipinos show, not only to foreigners,
but also to their fellow citizens -- When a person visits a friend's house, the host greets him or
her with a very warm welcome. The host will immediately let their visitor sit down and will
prepare a meal or a snack plus drinks for the visitor. The host will insist that the friend not leave
the house with an empty stomach. A host will always make sure you had a great time visiting
13
St. Alexius College
them. People offer their guest room to visitors if they're going to spend the night. Meals offered
to guests are very special. A host always finds a way to prepare great tasting food that her visitor
wants to eat.
Generosity and Helpfulness
Filipinos are generous people. Even when they have very little, they always share with
those around them. During special occasions such as birthdays or "fiestas" —parties when people
from other places visit your home to celebrate with you—there are lots of foods specially
prepared for everyone! Friends, family, friends of friends and even strangers can gather and they
are always willing to share food and help out. When a neighbor is in trouble, Filipinos are always
ready to help them. According to Gendrala, A. Helping others is one the values being taught at
home and also in school. It means of having the will to help others without expecting something
in return. You want to help other people not because of the benefit you will have from them,
instead because it is your heart’s desire to help them.
Praying together
It increases trust and intimacy with spouse: Intimacy is built on trust and trust is built on
how we respond to being vulnerable with each other, helps you show and receive trust that
strengthens the bonds of intimacy in your relationship. Prayer is the foundation of the Christian
home and is one of the best ways to help your family thrive. We are living in a time where we
are experiencing an unprecedented cultural attack on biblical values and the structure of the
home. When you pray out loud, it gives your family the opportunity to release their deepest
14
St. Alexius College
hurts, giving them a voice. When you give your emotions a voice and a name, they become
valid. According to Gendrala, A., one of the Filipino family values is praying together. Praying
before eating is a must and parents also taught their child to pray before going to sleep.
Being “mapagkumbaba”
There are a number of behaviors you can adopt to be considered a fair and impartial
manager. Model and rules and behaviors, change the rules when necessary and be considerate of
others. Important to building this trust is making decisions that are seen as “fair to everyone”. A
personal characteristic of a person which is he/she is willing to understand and swallow his/her
pride for something good.
According to Kakinuma, Y. being “mapagkumbaba” is lowering your pride whenever
there is an argument.
Being humble
According to Bergonio, D, humble means something to look up to and modest without a
feeling of inferiority. When having an achievement you do not brag or boast about it.
Learns how to appreciate
Saying “thank you” is a way of showing appreciation to others. Take a few moments in
each day to notice useful or beautiful things around you and smile at them. According to
Kakinuma Y, appreciating others means valuing them. It may act in a little or simple way but the
gratitude are certain and significance.

15
St. Alexius College
Knows how to apologize
Express regret for something that one has done wrong and by admitting the sin they have
caused. According to Gendrala, A. saying “sorry” and not doing the same mistake again is one
way to show that you are sincere with your apology.
Knows how to forgive
According to Gendrala, A. this is one of the values being taught at both home and
school. Forgiveness as a conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment or
vengeance toward a person or group who has harmed you, regardless of whether they actually
deserve your forgiveness, forgiveness brings the forgiver peace of mind and frees him or her
from corrosive anger. In that way, it empowers you to recognize the pain you suffered without
letting that pain define you, enabling you to heal and move on with your life. According to
Collins, if you say that someone could be forgiven for doing something, you mean that they were
wrong or mistaken, but not seriously, because many people would have done the same thing in
those circumstances.
Listening to others
Good listening connects you to the world and helps you understand your responsibilities,
being a good listener fosters meaningful relationships with those around you. Finally, listening to
others and listening well is important for your personal development because it allows you to
expand your thoughts. Part of really listening is responding in a way that shows the other person
16
St. Alexius College
we are paying attention. We can demonstrate we are truly listening in a way of understanding
others.
According to Batadlan, K. one of the traits that the parents teach their children is know
how to listen. It is important to listen to others to know what they feel and to be able to help
others if they have a problem.
Empathy
In tagalong “Pag-intindi sa nararamdaman ng iba”. Putting yourself in one's shoe is the
best way to understand a person. We are not experiencing the same situation and emotion at the
same time. Thus, we have to be careful with our words and actions. The best thing to do is smile,
ask, and be a friend.

The researchers will conduct the study at St. Alexius College that was located in Joaquin
St, Poblacion, City of Koronadal, South Cotabato. It was established in June 1971. St Alexius
College is a premier secondary institution of learning stands to build dreams and aspirations for
the search of newer and broader perspective in the field of education and will continue to strive
for better quality education. This place was selected for knowing the efficiency of the said study
among Senior High School students.
The map above shows the specific area or place way to St. Alexius College, where the
researchers will conduct the study

St. Alexius College
Respondents of the Study
The respondents of this study will be the Junior High and Senior High school students of
St. Alexius College who are officially enrolled in the first semester in the school year 2019-2020.
The total population of the Junior and Senior High school students was gathered by the
researchers through asking the students and the advisers on how many students are there in their
section and summing them all up. By having the total of 389 Junior and Senior High school
students and considering the 0.05 marginal errors, Sloven’s formula was used to determine the
number of respondents, thus the total number of sample is 197 respondents. The sample size to
serve as respondents of the study was determined by dividing the total students of each section to
the overall population of the Junior and Senior High school students. Then the result will
multiply to the number of samples to take the tests.
The respondents came from all the sections of the Junior and Senior High School
Department and will be Chosen using Random Stratified and Accidental sampling.
Thus, the table below shows the Junior High and Senior High School population, the
sample size to take the test, and the total number of respondents of this study.

The researchers will use Stratified Random and Non-Random Accidental Sampling.
Stratified Sampling in which the members of the population are divided into separate groups,
called strata, while the Accidental sampling is where the researchers randomly pick a number of
respondents present.
St. Alexius College
Research Instrument
The research instruments are the tools that the researchers will use to gather data about
their study. The researchers will use survey-questionnaires to help distinguish the results on a
topic of interest from research subject, to record obtain data that are relevant on the said study.
The questions will be related on how values are taught in home and school, being lived by the
students and how family values do and values taught in school differ or reflect on each other.
There will be values listed in the questions and the respondents will answer it by checking the
checklist if those values are being taught to them, if they value it and if they practice it.
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers have done comprehension about family values and values integration.
They have used the internet and the library sources for gathering information about the topic.
The researchers searched about Family, Filipino Family Values, and Values that most people
value and practice and putted all the information in the Review of Related Literature that the
researchers find relevant for the study.
The researchers have gathered data on how many students are there in each section by
asking the advisers and some students and solved for the sample size by using the Sloven’s
formula.
The researchers will then use a systematic random technique in gathering data that
pertains and reliable in the research study. The researchers will use Stratified and Accidental
Non-Random Sampling, in which the respondents will be chosen randomly by giving the
questionnaires to the respondents present.

St. Alexius College
The researchers will then conduct and use survey-questionnaires in order to collect
relevant data information for their research paper. The researchers will make use of a written
survey’s that is in a checklist form with questions that are related to the topic. The questionnaire
will be in a listed form where the respondents will answer it by checking if the value listed is
being taught to them, if they are valuing that value and if they are practicing it. In that way the
researchers will assess if there is a contradictor or parallelism of what people value and practice.
Statistical Treatment
The researcher’s statistical treatment objective is to measure the relatedness to statistical,
mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through, questionnaires, and surveys, or by
manipulating pre-existing statistical data using computational techniques. The researchers will
use Frequency and Ranking since the type of survey that will be conducted is in a checklist and
ranking form. Frequency is a summary table that shows the frequency of each value in range. It
returns multiple values and must be entered as array formula. It means everywhere; a count of
how often something occurred. This could be how many times an event happened or happened
within a given time frame. The ranking is a position in a scale of achievement or status of a
classification. A ranking is a set of items such that, for any items, the first is either ranker higher
than, ranked lower than or ranked equal to the second. In mathematics, this is known as a weak
order or total preorder of objects.

CHAPTER IV
PRESENTATION, ANLYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
The purpose of this chapter is to summarize the collected data and the statistical
treatment, and/or mechanics, of analysis. The first paragraph should briefly restate the problem,
taken from chapter 1. Explain the object of each experiment, question, or objective, point out
sailent results, and present those results by table, figure, or other form of summarized data. Make
statements of the results without any implication, speculation, assessment, evaluation, or
interpretation. Sometimes the result and discussion are combined into one chapter; but in
general, keep the results, and the conclusions and discussion separate.
Do not repeat in tedious prose what it is obvious for a knowledgeable peer to see at a
glance. The dissertation advisor usually has an opinion about the level of detail needed in this

from corrosive anger. In that way, it empowers you to recognize the pain you suffered without
letting that pain define you, enabling you to heal and move on with your life. According to
