Theoretical Framework

Cash Theoretical Model on Building Condition (1993)

Social Exchange Theory of Blau, (1964)

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs (1954)

contends building condition potentially affects student achievement and student behavior directly and indirectly.

in order for the different stakeholders participate in making sure that the school buildings were built in accordance to mandated rules and regulation, they should perceive that in doing so, they can satisfy their own interest such safety for own school children.

Safety, as one of the hierarchy of needs, is the feeling people get when they know no harm will befall them, physically, mentally, or emotionally; security is the feeling people get when their fears and anxieties are low. If a person feels that he or she is in harm's way, higher needs will not receive much attention.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLODY

Research DesignThe present study was quantitative research which employed the descriptive correlational method.

Respondents of the StudyThe faculty respondents were 48 which was composed of administrators, and teachers; parents, 50 who were mainly the PTA officers of the covered schools; and licensed engineers and fire safety inspectors were composed of 22 respondents with a total of 120 respondents.

Procedure of Data Gathering

Permission to Conduct the Research, Formulation of the Questionnaire, Validation of the Instrument, Distribution of Questionnaire, Tabulation of the researcher Data, and Analysis and interpretation

Data Gathering ToolsThe instrument that was used by the researcher was a closed- type survey questionnaire.

Statement of the Problem

Assumption/ Hypothesis Instrument Statistical Treatment of Data

What are the conditions of the public high school buildings in the Municipality of Baao in terms of: a. Locationb. Environmental Factorsc. Building Features

The conditions of the public high schools as assessed by its faculty, administrators and parents can be measured in terms of location, environmental factors and building features

Part A of the Survey Questionnaire

Weighted Mean

What is the extent of compliance of the buildings to the standards with regard to: a.Structural Soundnessb. Plumbing and Sanitation c. Electricald. Accessibility and Use by the Handicapped

The extent of compliance of the buildings in public high schools differs along structural soundness, plumbing and sanitation, electrical, and accessibility and use by the handicapped.

Part B of the Survey Questionnaire

Weighted Mean

Is there a significant relationship in the perception of the respondents on the conditions of the public high schools?

There is no significant relationship in the perceptions made by the two groups of respondents on the various conditions of public high schools.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

What are the conditions of the public high school buildings in the Municipality of Baao as assessed by the faculty, parents and licensed engineers in terms of a) location; b) environmental factors; and c) building features?

FindingsIt was found that the conditions of the public high school buildings in the

Municipality of Baao as assessed by the faculty along location had a weighted mean of 3.07; environmental factors, 3.06; and building features, 2.85 with an overall assessment of 2.99, all interpreted as satisfied. On the other hand, the parent-respondents perceived that location had a weighted mean of 2.87; environmental factors, 2.70, both interpreted as satisfied; and building feature, 2.35, interpreted as fair, with an overall weighted of 2.64 interpreted as satisfactory. The engineer-respondents assessed that location had a weighted mean of 2.52, satisfied; environmental factors, 2.37; building features, 1.86, both interpreted as fair.

ConclusionFrom the data provided, it is therefore concluded that the faculty and parent-

respondents both perceived that the situations of the public school buildings were good enough when it comes to the natural setting of the building and the identifiable physical elements, of the buildings. On the other hand, the assessments of the different groups vary when it comes to the overall structural appearance of the building. The faculty and parent recognize that the overall structural appearance of the public school buildings is in desirable condition while the engineer-respondents believe that it is moderately acceptable.

RecommendationsBased from the conclusion, it is therefore recommended that funds must be

provided for school construction and repair. School heads must be educated on the procedure on documentary requirements and procedures to be able to avail allotted funds. The educational agency and its entities should likewise critically review and synthesize the educational facilities and its impact on the educational achievement of the students regardless of their physical condition. PTA should also be empowered and be vigilant regarding the current condition of the public high school buildings.

What is the extent of compliance of the buildings to the standards as perceived by the licensed engineers with regard to: a) structural soundness; b) plumbing and sanitation; c) electrical; and d) accessibility and use by the handicapped?

FindingsIt was found that the extent of compliance of the buildings to the standards as

perceived by the licensed engineers had weighted means on structural soundness, 2.38, highly complied; plumbing and sanitation, 1.73; electrical, 1.94, both interpreted as complied; accessibility and use by handicaps, 1.61, poorly complied; and an overall weighted mean of 1.92, complied.

ConclusionIt is therefore concluded that the degree of conformity of the public school

buildings on the standards and established guidelines was fulfilled especially when it comes to the structural integrity of the buildings in which the elements designed and built are in accordance with the anticipated loads and usage. However, the right of access of the students with disabilities was inadequately conformed.

RecommendationsBased from the conclusion, the present study therefore recommends that existing

laws on the guidelines and specification on the standards of public school buildings should be continuously and strictly be observed. Regular and thorough inspections of schools with proper follow up and accountability is necessary. Additionally, educational agencies as well as architects, engineers can serve as the stakeholders in which they can take action to alleviate the problems and therefore provide appropriate infrastructure for the educational needs of the municipality.

Is there a significant relationship in the perceptions made by the two groups of respondents on the various conditions of public high schools?

Findings It was found that among the parameters tested on the conditions of the public high school buildings, the perceptions of the three groups had significant relationship along Location in terms of Surrounding Development vs. Deterioration of the General Environment (df = 2, W

= 1.0); and Located Areas Already Assessed in terms of manmade and natural hazards (df = 2, W = 1.0). Significant Relationships were likewise found along Environmental Factors in terms of visual (df = 8, W = 0.711) and along Building Features in terms of Exterior Walls, Finishes, Windows and Doors (df = 16, W = 0.76).

ConclusionBased from the findings, the researcher therefore concludes that there is a

significant relationship in the perceptions made by the faculty, parent and engineer-respondents along Location in terms of Surrounding Development vs. Deterioration of the General Environment; and Located Areas in terms of manmade and natural hazards; along Environmental Factors in terms of visual; and along Building Features in terms of Exterior Walls, Finishes, Windows and Doors; and Electrical Power.

RecommendationsThe researcher recommends that the safety of the location of the public school

buildings should be explained to the parents. They should be given assurance that the natural settings of the public school buildings are in the standards according to the Department of Education. It is likewise recommended that there should be formulation and periodic evaluation of a Comprehensive Physical Facilities Development Plan that may be used by the Department of Education.
