I. Rationale

Junior high school years are part of teenage life and such are the most crucial years one
will face since lot of pressures, crisis and personal constraints may occur at this stage.
High school students commonly desire to have fun with friends and at times, they tend to
indulge into vices as influenced by peers.
It is rare to find a school or an institution void of social vices. This depicts that they are
present in all educational centers – primary, secondary, and tertiary. Vices are common among
young males and females. Examples of these vices are: drug addiction, gambling, smoking and
other forms of social vices (Soliguen, 2018).
The generation today is facing a great deal of vices like drug addiction, smoking,
computer games, social networking, gambling and drinking which has become more accessible
in public. Vices are common among high school students because of age and the independence
from parents. Vices will affect the productivity and effectiveness of a student, since it takes
time, focus, and financial resources.
As observed and even affirmed by researches, the most common vices practiced by high
school students include drinking liquor, smoking, gambling, drug addiction, and online games
addiction.
The use of alcohol in school campuses has been prevalent that it becomes a problem of
administrators and teachers. However, problems associated with both alcohol and other drug use
has escalated in recent years (Straus & Bacon as cited by Alberca, et al. 2010).
Increased drug abuse is linked to violent behavior among the general population, such as
young adults. Jordan has one of the youngest populations globally, with 63% of its population
under 30 years, increasing the risk of drug use. Previous reports have indicated an increase in
substance and tobacco use in the Jordanian population (Al-Husseini, et al. 2018)
The three common vices that teenagers are currently exploiting today are Drinking
alcohol, smoking, and engaging to Sexual Intercourse. The use of drugs among teenagers is also
very rampant. According to research, the primary causes as to why teenagers of 14-19 years old
enjoy these vices are because of social pressure, depression, and low self-esteem (Rebecca
Molina, 2017).
Simbulan, et al. (2019) cited that as a community of scholars, health professionals,
academics, and researchers. They reiterated their conviction that the drug problem in the
Philippines is multi-dimensional in character and deeply rooted in the structural causes of poverty,
inequality and powerlessness of the Filipino people. Contrary to the government’s position of
treating the issues as a problem of criminality and lawlessness, the drug problem must be
addressed using a holistic and rights-based approach, requiring the mobilization and involvement
of all stakeholders. This is the message and the challenge which the members of the Association of
Pacific Rim Universities, want to relay to the leaders, policymakers, healthcare professionals, and
human rights advocates in the region; “We must all work together to protect and promote health
and well-being of all populations in our region.”
Aside from what had been cited above, students are also prone to addiction to online
games. Students cut classes and stay in internet cafes, spend their money and time playing online
games.
 2

These aforementioned vices are what had been observed to be prevalent among the junior
high school students of Liloy National High School.
Defining those mentioned variables, attitude is a feeling, belief, or opinion of approval or
disapproval towards something. Behavior is an action or reaction that occurs in response to an
event or internal stimuli” (Savitha & Kannadas,2014.)
A student tends to behave like his peers so that he will not be labeled cowards like “JJC”,
“uncivilized”, “village or local” person based on the students’ language. A student who moves
with students that perform poorly academically can be like them in no time and will be lured to
the shortcuts to success such as examination malpractice (Igbimoria, 2012).
Jansenn & O’brien mentioned on the interplay among motivation, ability, attitudes, and
behaviour in the accomplishment of homework, and other tasks required in school. In their study
on the above premise, they analysed data collected from six hundred eighty-seven (687) students
enrolled in seven economics courses. A model explaining homework and examination scores is
estimated, and separate analyses of ability and motivation groups are conducted. They found out
that motivation affects homework score, but not examination score. Given that homework is the
strongest predictor of examination score. They concluded that graded homework is beneficial to
learning, and attitudes and behaviour related to school tasks. Attitude towards school work is
also linked with classroom behaviour of the students.
They further commented that teachers should reach out to students. This means helping
students to cooperate. It is changing of negative attitude to positive classroom behavior.
It is on this context that the researchers came to realize and agreed to study further on the
possible effect of vices to students’ classroom behavior and their attitude towards school work as
well as to their academic performance.

II. Literature Review

This chapter provides review of literature and includes conducted studies that are relevant
to the present research investigation.
Improved research and more precise data have revealed that the adverse health
consequences of drug use are more severe and widespread than previously thought. Globally,
some 35 million people are estimated to suffer from drug use disorders and who require
treatment services, according to the latest World Drug Report, released today by the United
Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
In 2017, an estimated 271 million people, or 5,5 per cent of the global population aged
15-64, had used drugs in the previous year. While this is similar to the 2016 estimate, a longer-
term view reveals that the number of people who use drugs is now 30 per cent higher than it was
in 2009. Although that increase was in part due to a 10 per cent growth in the global population
aged 15-64, data now shows a higher prevalence of the use of opioids in Africa, Asia, Europe
and North America and the use of cannabis in North America, South America and Asia
compared with 2009 (Vienna, 2019)
This study re-emphasize the significance of peer pressure on smoking among university
students of both sexes; influence of family members, usually of same sex. We need to foster
gender-sensitive tobacco prevention intervention programs, to prevent youngsters of both sexes
from taking up such habit. We also need to raise awareness of girls and young women, of the
consequences of smoking in general, water-pipe in specific, on their own health, that of their
spouses, families, and off-springs, many of whom could develop chronic respiratory disorders, as
 3

passive smokers in the beginning/potential smokers themselves, later on. All such efforts should
be backed and supported by strong governmental commitment, to ensure success of their
implementation accordingly (Mohamed, et al. 2014).
Another study showed that online gaming is a new type of addiction. Several researchers
have studied the behavioral characteristics of severe online game players and factors associated
with online game addiction. They found that “entertainment and leisure”, “emotional coping”,
“excitement and challenge seeking” and “escape from reality” may be the major factors that
motivate people to play online games (cited in, Tone, Zhao & Yan, 2014).
As stated the study of Hyun et.al. (2015) there are risk factors such as sex and age,
cognitive factors, psychopathological conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
(ADHD), depression, anxiety, impulsivity and social interaction such as family environment,
social anxiety, self-esteem which are associated with online game addiction. Psychopathological
factors especially ADHD and depression were the strongest risk factors for the online game
addiction.
With regards to gambling, Out-of-school adolescents who first gambled at an older age
and who gambled mainly in order to gain money immediately were at risk of problem gambling.
Developing strategies for early screening and referral to professionals is necessary to prevent
gambling problems from worsening (Kyonghwa, et al. 2020).
Carandang, et. al. (2016) mentioned that alcohol is a drug that is capable of elevating the
levels of five of the neurotransmitters that influence how we think, feel, and behave. They further
stated that alcohol raises the level of serotonin and glutamate and can create that feeling of
ecstasy and euphoria through its effects on dopamine. The other neurotransmitter affected is
endocannabinoid, which has been linked to mood, appetite, pain and memory. It is this harmony
of pleasurable sensations that can lead to problems in addiction, particularly for those who are
genetically predisposed to addiction.
Sun & Shek (2012) stated that student misbehaviors such as disruptive talking, chronic
avoidance of work, clowning, interfering with teaching activities, harassing classmates, verbal
insults, rudeness to teacher, defiance, and hostility, ranging from infrequent to frequent, mild to
severe, is a thorny issue in everyday classroom. Teachers usually reported that these disturbing
behaviours in the classroom are intolerable and stress-provoking , and they had to spend a great
deal of time and energy to manage the classroom . Obviously, student misbehaviours retard the
smoothness and effectiveness of teaching and also impede the learning of the student and his/her
classmates. Moreover, research findings have shown that school misbehaviour not only escalated
with time but also lowered academic achievement and increased delinquent behaviour.
Behavior problems in school interfere with lessons and disturb other pupils. Behavior
problems often overwhelm teachers, particularly the new ones, and some consider this to
represent the most difficult aspect of the teachers’ workday. Pupils who exhibit behavior
problems invariably require extra attention which places strain on teachers and shows the pace at
which lessons are taken and completed. Behavior problems sometimes lead to aggression
towards fellow pupils.
Social vices affect the society as a whole and the individual in particular. The mental,
physical, academic, moral aspects of an individual are negatively affected. Students divert their
time to these vices instead of being serious with academic works. There is wastage of time which
leads to poor academic performance. Deadly diseases that can lead to the termination of lives and
career can be contacted. A pregnant lady will face emotional, psychological trauma which will
make her lose focus and attention on her studies. She might eventually stop schooling, get
 4

expelled or quit for some period of time. If she is lucky, she may return to school but her mates
will be far ahead of her (Soliguen, 2018).
As a classroom teacher for a couple of years, the researchers had experienced different
types of classroom misbehavior of pupils which are stressful and frustrating, thus there is a need
to slowly solve this common teacher concern. Pupils’ classroom misbehavior is the worst
problem confronting the teachers every day and this adversely affected the teachers’
effectiveness. In order to have a baseline data on the above variables, this study is conceived of.
Adeyeye (2011) conducted a study on “Cigarette Smoking Habits Among Senior
Secondary School Students” in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria. His findings revealed that the
respondents, in addition to smoking cigarette abuse other substances. According to the Centre for
Disease Control, tobacco, marijuana and alcohol use are gateway drugs and when younger
children use them they are often more likely to abuse cocaine and heroin. The mean quantity of
cigarette smoked was 3.7 sticks per day. The reasons given for cigarette smoking were peer
group influence, curiosity and desire to express maturity. Factors encouraging sustenance of the
habit were more frequently a search for pleasure and to reduce stress. Having parents, friends or
siblings who are smokers also increase the likelihood of smoking among the students. In
conclusion, the prevalence of cigarette smoking among secondary school students in Lagos is on
the increase and it is very important that aggressive antismoking campaigns backed by effective
legislations be put in place to reduce this trend.
Gaete, et. al. (2015) in their study on the construct validity of the school attachment and
school commitment scales was mainly supported by the EFA. Multivariable analyses showed
strong evidence that, after adjusting for factors from different domains, school commitment
(student's good grades and school attendance) appears to have a clear inverse association with
current smoking (odds ratio [OR]=0.46, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.38-0.56). On the other
hand, school attachment (their feelings towards their school and their teachers) was not
associated with adolescent smoking (OR=1.16, 95% CI: 0.88-1.53). School commitment was
strongly associated with current smoking. It is important to further study this variable with the
aim of ascertaining whether or not interventions that improve school commitment may prevent
or reduce smoking amongst adolescent students.
Several authors have found significant intra-school correlations in smoking onset,
monthly smoking prevalence and the number of cigarette smoked per day, which could be
related to the characteristics of the students within each school or other school contextual
features. Those studies exploring contextual effects using multilevel modelling have found that
schools with a combination of higher performance and less truancy, schools receiving social
assistance and mixed sex or vocational high schools had a higher risk for smoking.
The results of the study conducted by Gaete, et. al. (2016) entitled “Influence of school-
related factors on smoking among Chilean adolescents: a cross-sectional multilevel study
” indicated Adolescent tobacco smoking is a major health concern in Chile. Schools may be able
to influence adolescent behaviour regarding smoking; however, this topic has received limited
research attention in Latin-American countries. Moreover, the prevalence of cigarette smoking
varies between schools, and some of this variability may be explained by school factors. This
article examines the inter-school variability in student smoking in a large sample of Chilean
schools and identifies the school- and student-level characteristics associated with cigarette
smoking.
Savitha , et. al. (2014) found out based on the results of their study that attitude does not
directly predict behaviours. There has been lots of debate on the link between attitude and
 5

behaviour in the arena of consumer behaviours. With the purpose of solving problem it is
frequently needed to forecast or predict people’s behaviours. “Attitude could explain human
actions”, in the current scenario, changes happen in each and every aspect of life either in the
way of living or in the way we react. On such changes if the result of the same is good we term it
as ‘Positive change’ and on the other side is the ‘Negative change’. Students, either in school
level or college level undergo changes periodically as yesterday invention is today obsolete. So
the trend of changes directly impacts the students as they hold the future of the country. In the
below study the researcher has described the changes that happens on the attitudes of the
students hence they respond through their behaviours very briefly. Many have argued that
attitudes are more likely to be unrelated or only slightly related to behaviours because the early
theories present the relationship between attitudes and behaviours as a one-way association. But
if attitudes themselves were affected or influenced by past behaviours, the connection must be
more intricate.
The findings of the study of Taheri, et. al (n.d.) disclosed that among the nine hundred
thirty-six (936) students included in the study, 44.6% were male and 55.4% were female. The
effects of various independent variables on the prevalence rate of cigarette smoking were
investigated, and odds ratios were calculated. The overall prevalence of cigarette smoking was
9.8% with significant differences in prevalence by gender; 17.6% among males and 4.2% among
females.
Tiwari (n.d.) also conducted a study on classroom behavior problems at the secondary
school level, states that the teacher plays an important role in the process of education. In real
classroom situations, teachers come across numerous behavior problems. The behavior problem
refers to deviation from certain pre–set rules and regulations of the schools. The various behavior
problems in the classroom can be enlisted as follows- bullying, fighting, teasing, stealing,
truancy, disobedience and insubordination, lying, cheating, lateness, rudeness, destructiveness,
drug or alcohol addiction. There are various factors that cause behavior problems in the
classroom such as mass media, school or family. Classroom behavior problems affect the
teaching learning process as it influences teacher’s ability and competence in handling the
classroom environment. Present study is an empirical study with a view to identify the behavior
problem of the students and to explore different techniques or strategies that teacher employ to
deal with such problems.

V. Research Methodology
This section contains the research methods employed in the study. This includes the
research methods used, sampling, data collection, ethical issues, plan for data analysis, time
table, cost estimates, plans for dissemination and advocacy, and statistical treatment of data.

A. Sampling
The study will utilize stratified random sampling wherein the respondents of the study are the
junior high school students in Liloy National High School shall be grouped according to their
respective curriculums or grade levels. The study shall have 130 respondents divided evenly per
curriculum.

B. Data Collection
 7

In collecting data, the researchers will secure a list of students enrolled in each grade
curriculum which will be utilized to select the sample population. To ensure randomization, the
researchers will assign numbers to the respective lists and to the names of the students. The
researchers will then obtain the total sample of 130 junior high school students of Liloy National
High School. Once the subjects are identified, they will be given a questionnaire to be filled
accordingly for data collection. Once the data has been collected, it will be processed and
analyzed through the use of various statistical treatments with the aid of Statistical Package for
Social Sciences (SPSS). Interpretation will follow right after the analysis in which the
researchers will give out recommendations.

C. Ethical Issues
Since the participants are still minors, they will be given parents’ consent to be filled out by
their parents or guardians. This will ensure that their rights of self-determination and human
dignity will be observed properly. The data collected will be treated by the researchers with
extra-care in observance to the confidentiality principle as well as the participants’ identities will
remain anonymous due to the nature and the sensitivity of the data.

D. Plan for Data Analysis

This research will employ the quantitative type of study. The researchers will acquire the
data through the use of questionnaire which will be then subjected to various analysis through
different statistical tests. The researchers plan to determine the prevalence of vices among Junior
High School students’ in Liloy National High School through the different demographic profiles
of the students. To determine the prevalence, the researchers will utilize percentage and
frequency distribution since the data is a categorical data: The formula is shown below:

1. To answer problem number 1, Frequency Count and Simple Percentage will be used.
2. To answer problems 2, 4 and 6, Likert’s Method of Determining the Weighted Mean
will be used:
Formula:
