 CHAPTER I

Introduction

Do the clothes make the student? School uniform policies have recently been enforced

by many schools. Administrators believe that students who arrive dressed for success will be

ready to learn. The way a student dresses can have an impact on school academic success and

create a positive, productive learning environment. Parents have shown mixed feelings

towards the uniform policies. Some feel it "could help reduce problems associated with dress”

and others argue that it infringes upon the students' First Amendment rights to freedom of

expression. And also puts less responsibility on administrators and faculty to decide if the

standards are met.

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to see the negative effects of wearing improper uniform in

academic performance of STEM student in Grade 12 Section B of Bestlink College of the

Philippines.

3
Background of the Study

Does the wearing of proper school uniform make the student? The school administration

and student government strictly implementing the rule of wearing proper uniform but

frequently the students are disobeying this implemented rule. Administrators believe that

students who arrive dressed for success will be ready to learn. Students' success can take on

many forms--fewer absences, fewer referrals for behavioral problems, fewer expulsions,

better grade and, in some cases, significantly higher achievement. The administrators and

faculty are the deciding factors to see if the standards are met but it is still a judgment call.

Enforcing a new school uniform that everyone adheres too "can enhance students' self-

concepts, classroom behavior and academic performance".

Every student has their own way of learning regardless of wearing proper uniform, the

student's achievement is not usually based on the clothes they're wearing but, in their

perseverance, and determination to learn and achieve. The purpose of conducting this

research study is to know what are the negative effects of wearing improper uniform of

students of Grade 12 STEM B of Bestlink College of the Philippines. The researchers are

studying and finding information for the chosen population about the topic being conducted.

Statement of the Problem

Does the wearing of school uniform make an impact on the academic performance of

the student? Due to the improper use of the right uniform that is making an impact on their

student who needed to be solve, because if we prolong the problem it will affect the

background and the name of the school. The researchers want to make a foundation to have

a disciplined student and to have a knowledge if there are negative effects of wearing

improper uniform on academic performance. The Bestlink college of the Philippines have a

free three uniforms including the washday. How it being used?

The polo uniform is used when they have a regular class. The P.E uniform is being used

in their P.E. classes or every Friday and Saturday classes. Washday is being used if the student

is going to school when they don’t have a class schedule. Security guard is the one who is

responsible in the entrance of the school who warned the student who is not wearing their

proper uniform at the right class schedule, and will not be allowed to enter the school, also

with the help of the SSG officers that giving a warning within the school campus. That if you're

not wearing the proper uniform there are consequences you need to face.

The study aimed to be understood the STEM 12 B that using improper uniform can

affect the whole STEM students especially the officer in STEM because the teacher think

that they are not responsible to obey their rules and regulation. This study also aims for the

students of STEM to be aware of punishment if the school counselor saw them wearing

improper uniform.

5
Question

1. What are the effects on academic performance of STEM student grade 12 section B who's

wearing improper uniform?

2. How it can affect the school and other students?

3. What is the difference between those students wearing proper uniform and improper

uniform?

The study is beneficial to the following:

Students - To teach them the value and the importance of wearing proper uniform.

Teachers - To guide those students that wearing improper uniform and to inform them the

value of the rules and regulations.

School councils - They implemented rules and regulations.

6
Significance of the Study

To maintain the proper uniform for students in Bestlink college of the Philippines we

need to thresh the plan well and to study the problem and to give a right decision on a case

and by the help of teacher's and SSG Officers' we always need to follow the ordinance of the

school to maintain it.

So, what are the benefits if we follow the school regulations particularly the wearing of

proper uniform? The benefits are it gives safety purposes or good purposes and it can give

good examples to other students by the help of teacher's and SSG Officers' the school councils

can assure that they maintain the following of regulations of the school for the student's sake.

Assumptions of the Study

In this research, it was assumed that the teachers followed the standard Curriculum of

the school. It was also assumed that the students' knowledge accurately Reflected the grade

they were in and that the material covered in their classes is what the researchers are

expecting from grade 12 students. Also, it was assumed that students were prepared for their

exams and assignments. It was assumed that the students answered all the survey questions

honestly and to the best of their ability.

7
Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The general purpose of this study is to know the benefits and negative effects of wearing

Improper uniform in academic performance of Grade 12-B STEM Students of Bestlink College

of the Philippines. The researchers wants to know what will be the effect of this research

being conducted to chosen students. We also want to know what will be the negative effects

on their academic achievement and overall classroom behavior.

The subject matter of this research is the chosen STEM 12-B students from Bestlink

College of the Philippines. These would be the primary focus of this study and the researchers

would take a look of how it affects and benefit the students. This research is intended for the

students and it aims to recognize their opinions about this given topic.

The survey will be conducted in Bestlink College of the Philippines and the researchers

will focus primarily in chosen students. The respondents of the surveys will be selected from

STEM 12-B Students of the said school. 20 students from this year level will be the

respondents of the survey. This study is conducted in limited amount of time and in limited

amount of financial resources.

Limitation

This research has several limitations. First, the population that was used in the design

was limited to only Grade 12 section B students of Bestlink College of the Philippines and the

length of the study allowed the experimenter to only conduct data for half of the current

school semester. Because a longitudinal study would probably show better results.

Review Related Literature

Local Review

The Philippine school uniform law (Henry Weihofen) states that the constitutionality of

Philippine Legislation prescribing a special uniform for boys and girls in the public schools is

discussed by Mr. Pedro Moldia of the University of the Philippines in 8 Philippine Law Journal

384. He concludes it is clearly constitutional, which seems to settle only one and perhaps the

least important of the questions involved.

In this connection the reader may need to be reminded that, doubtless by the best of

intentions, The Philippine legislature a few years ago passed an act providing that all students

of public high schools and University of the Philippines be required to wear standard

uniforms. (Act No. 3414, approved Dec. 7, 1927). The laudable purpose of this act was to put

an end to a growing tendency on the part of students to attire themselves with unwonted

ostentation. Conscious of its high duty to the people, the legislature, in order to meet this

menace to democracy, promptly passed a law about it.

The law itself does not prescribe any particular uniform to be worn, but directs the

Director of Education and the President of the University to issue rules and regulations

prescribing uniforms for students of public secondary, high, trade, agricultural and normal

schools, and of the University respectively. It also provides that "preference shall be given to

uniforms of Philippine made materials whenever possible."

9
 In accordance with this legislative mandate, both the Director of the Education and the

President of the University have issued rules regulating the uniforms to be worn by their

respective charges.

As said before, the Uniform law and the regulations of the school authorities under it

were adopted with the best of intentions. The debates in the Legislature show that the object

of its sponsors was to eradicate show and ostentation, and to foster discipline and the spirit

of democracy within the halls of the public institutions of learning, a high and worthy motive,

surely.

Nevertheless, there is reason to believe that the Philippine legislature in its wisdom has

bitten off a strangulating mouthful. That belief is not founded upon any mere academic

objection such as, for example, that the act is unconstitutional. If the act is unsound, it is not

because it violates the Constitution of the United States but for the much more fundamental

reasons that it violates the constitution of the Eternal Feminine.

For the act that affects not only men, but also all girls and women in the high school and

normal schools of the Islands and of the University of the Philippines. And the history of past

attempts on the part of mere man to regulate by legislation what the ladies shall and shall

not wear reveals no rosy prospects for the Philippine effort in that direction.

10
Foreign Review

Many public schools in the United States have started implementing dress codes or

uniform policies to deal with different issues within the schools. Literature on the effects of

school uniforms was found to be some what limited and most of the research done was

inconclusive. The research discussed below first starts out with articles dealing with the

history of school uniforms and legal issues. The research further goes into recent studies

conducted, starting with the main reasons for implementation school uniforms and

continuing with other impacts uniforms have. The research ends with disputes against school

uniforms and studies that show their ineffectiveness. The literature review ends with

suggestions on how to successfully implement a uniform policy for schools. Since the early

1990s, student uniform policies have been used as safety measures to help stop gang violence

in the schools. Also, schools implemented uniform policies in hopes of helping students focus

on school, save parents money on school clothes, help identify who belongs to the school and

who does not, boost student self- perceptions, And Heighten School pride. While school

uniforms are rising in popularity, their effectiveness remains unclear. Most of the data that

has been collected is either perceptual or quantitative. History of School Uniforms Synott and

Symes (1995) state that "the uniform governs and regulates both the outward and inward

dispositions of the pupil." The English uniforms were introduced into the public-school system

in the middle of the 19th century, and emerged as a way to foster school affiliation, loyalty

and pride (Synott and Symes, 1995). A ubans public schools have recently implemented school

uniform policies to counter-balance gang related activity and rappers dress codes (Dussel,

2005). There have been several experiences of uniform codes in both public and private

schools. Dussel(2005) argues that "contemporary America is the experience of the regulation

of the bodies of more advantaged social groups which adopted a vestimentary code that is
11
called the 'preppy look', which consisted of khaki or gray trousers, Oxford shirts with button

down collars in white or light blue." This style of uniform is seen today in modern public-

school uniform policies.

Legal Review of School Uniforms

"Opponents of uniform requirements allege that uniforms result in unnecessary

routinization violations of students First Amendment rights, authoritarian regimentation,

extraordinary expenditures on special clothing in an environmental tone that is harmful to

education and learning as well as a cosmetic solution to deeper societal problems"(Brown,

1998).Being aware of students expression of dress and of the legal issues, in regards to

implementing a dress code or uniform policy, are important factors school officials should

keep in mind.The major argument against school uniforms is that they violate the students

First amendment right. This Amendment states

Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the

free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of

people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances

(First Amendment US Constitution.net).In 1969, the Supreme Court had a case which acted

as a guideline for lower courts in regards to students free expression rights. In Tinker v. Des

Moines Independent School District (1969), students wore black armbands in protest of the

Vietnam War. School officials forbid the armbands and the students were suspended.

Uerling (1997) cites that “this case was one of the first regarding dress codes and

appearance in schools." The Supreme Court reversed the suspensions finding that the

wearing of the bands was not disruptive and did not interfere with educational learning.

They stated that the message conveyed by the armbands represented "pure speech". The

12
 court concluded that student expression is protected unless it could be shown that a

particular behavior would “materially and substantially interfere with the requirements of

appropriate discipline in operation of the school or collide with the rights of other"

(DeMitchell, Fossey, and Cobb, 2000).

Foreign Study
Study Shows School Uniforms Improve Attendance, But Not Grades

The school uniform debate isn’t exactly raging these days, but there’s still data to be gathered

and examined as to how slacks and blazers affect school kids. According to a new study by

researchers at the University of Houston, school uniforms seem to be decently effective at

improving student attendance and teacher retention, but have no real impact on improving

student achievement. For their data, researchers looked at the effects school uniforms had

on a large urban school district in the Southwest United States.

Here’s the abstract:

Uniform use in public schools is rising, but we know little about how they affect students.

Using a unique dataset from a large urban school district in the southwest United States, we

assess how uniforms affect behavior, achievement and other outcomes. Each school in the

district determines adoption independently, providing variation over schools and time. By

including student and school fixed-effects we find evidence that uniform adoption improves

attendance in secondary grades, while in elementary schools they generate large increases in

teacher retention.

They further find that:

13
Uniforms have a positive influence on student attendance in secondary grades. Attendance

rates in grades 6 through 12 increase by 0.3 to 0.4 percentage points after a school adopts

uniforms. On the other hand, we find little evidence that uniforms have lasting impacts on

achievement, grade retention, or the likelihood of students switching schools or leaving the

district for all genders and grade levels.

School uniforms: Do they really improve student achievement, behavior?

Decades ago, uniforms were mostly worn by students who went to private or parochial

schools. But as local school boards have focused more on improving standardized test scores

and campus safety, a growing number have begun requiring school uniforms — typically, a

polo shirt of a particular color paired with navy or khaki pants, skirts or shorts. Nearly 22

percent of public schools in the United States required uniforms in 2015-16 — up from almost

12 percent in 1999-2000, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

Proponents argue that students will pay more attention to their classwork if they aren’t

preoccupied with fashion, and that they’ll be better behaved. Meanwhile, school

administrators say uniforms help eliminate gang-related styles and logos. They also make it

easier to spot a stranger on campus.

Despite their reported benefits, mandatory uniforms are controversial because a lot of

parents and students don’t like the idea of forcing children to dress alike, which they say

suppresses freedom of expression. Some families complain about the financial burden of

purchasing uniforms in addition to their kids’ other clothing. Years ago, parents also

complained that it was difficult to find uniforms, but that ceased to be an issue after large

chain stores like Target and Wal-Mart began selling them.

14
As public schools debate the merits of uniforms — some school boards have been bouncing

the idea around for years — it’s important for journalists to know what the research says on

this topic. School officials do not always consult academic research before they put a plan on

the table.

To help journalists ground their reporting and fact-check claims, Journalist’s Resource has

rounded up several academic studies worth reviewing. Reporters may also want to examine

reports on uniform use from the NCES, which collects and reports data related to school

uniforms, dress codes and book bags in public schools.

Students wearing school uniform

“School Discipline, School Uniforms and Academic Performance”

Summary: This study examines test scores and student behavior in the United States, Canada

and 37 other countries to determine whether uniforms affect student discipline. The

researchers found that the highest-performing students are the most disciplined. In addition,

“for countries where students wear school uniforms, our study found that students listen

significantly better, there are lower noise levels, and lower teaching waiting times with classes

starting on time.”

“Uniform use in public schools is rising, but we know little about how they affect students.

Using a unique dataset from a large urban school district in the southwest United States, we

assess how uniforms affect behavior, achievement and other outcomes. Each school in the

district determines adoption independently, providing variation over schools and time. By

including student and school fixed-effects we find evidence that uniform adoption improves

attendance in secondary grades, while in elementary schools they generate large increases in

teacher retention.”

15
Local Study

The proposal of incoming president Rodrigo Duterte to remove the mandatory

requirement for public school students to wear school uniforms is already an existing policy

of the Department of Education (DepEd).

Former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo instructed then education secretary Jesli Lapus in

2008 to issue two department orders that removed the mandatory requirement for school

uniforms in all public elementary and high schools.

“To increase school participation of all school-aged children, it is important to remove any

and all obstacles, particularly financial, to their enrollment in public schools,” DepEd Order

No. 45, Series 2008 read.

“The wearing of a school uniform shall not be required in public schools… Students with

existing uniforms may continue using these uniforms, if they so desire, in order to avoid

incurring additional costs for new attire,” it added. The same order said identification cards

shall be provided to students at no cost to them. In another order, Lapus provided guidance

on what constitutes proper school attire.

“A student’s basic right to go to school, study and learn is of paramount importance and

should be respected and promoted at all times. A student’s attire should reflect respect for

the school as an institution for learning,” read DepEd Order No. 46, Series 2008.

“A student’s attire should not become a cause for discrimination particularly for students

belonging to a lower socio-economic status. Promoting physical hygiene and proper school

decorum is part of the teaching- learning process in schools, thus a student’s attire and

physical appearance should manifest learnings from this process,” it added.

16
The order suggested that the proper school attire may be polo or t-shirt and long or short

pants for boys and dress, skirt and blouse or blouse or pants for girls.

Any footwear may be worn by students.

Students are discouraged from wearing expensive (signature or designer brands) or flashy

clothes, tight-fitting pants/blouses/dresses, mini-skirts, short shorts, blouses with plunging

necklines, hip-hop pants for boys, and sleepwear.

Education Secretary Armin Luistro reiterated the policy of non-mandatory requirement of

school uniforms when he issued the revised guidelines on the opening of classes in 2012.

While there are those who support the idea, Netizens noted that the lack of school uniforms

may be more costly as parents have to provide for the daily attire of children.

Others raised issues on security noting it would be more difficult to identify the students if

they are wearing plain clothes.

Methods and Procedures

Method of research

The students wearing proper uniform are obedient and good in sight while the

students that are wearing improper uniform are seems no respect in the school. The

researchers use correlational research to find the negative effects of wearing improper

uniform in academic performance. This study wants to develop the attitude, behaviour and

Good moral even they’re in other school. Bestlink College of the Philippines wants to conduct

productivity in every student and want more enrollees because they saw that the school is

organize or much more.

Subject of the study

The researchers selected only 20 respondents in total of 35 student from the Academic

track of Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Grade 12 Section B

Students from Bestlink College of the Philippines - Bulacan Campus

Description of research instrument

The research instrument that the researchers used is the survey-questionnaire form. To

know how many students are disobeying the school policy for complete uniform? Survey and

questionnaire is a good example for gathering information from the students with the honest

answers without being harmed by this conducted research study.

18
Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers conducted a personal visit to the room of STEM 12 B to ask permission

for their cooperation by answering the given questions to prove the hypothesis. In order to

support the validity of the data, survey form and questionnaire are given to gather

information. The researchers were also visited some sites in the Internet and articles about

the negative effects of wearing improper uniform in academic performances. The researchers

were also found other related literatures that matches the study being conducted. In the

whole number of students in STEM 12 B, we do random sampling by using the Fish Bowl

method and picked 20 students that would've answer the given questions to gather

information about the study being conducted that would lead to findings and hypothesis that

are proven.

Using Survey form, we are giving chosen questions that are relevant to our study being

conducted that can answer by the selected number of students and give information. Using

the survey form with the chosen questions, we can gather information by the cooperation of

the selected students of stem 12 B, and we got to know the percentages of choices that picked

based on their answers that would lead to the proved hypothesis.

Statistical Treatment Applied

The researchers used Random Sampling Method to gathered data by getting the

percentage of the students who wear improper uniform and those who wear proper uniform

in a survey form. Researchers survey form have the choices; Yes, No, Maybe, and Never. To

get the percentage of each chosen answers, the respondents of each choice divides the data

they gathered with the total number of respondents then multiply it to one hundred.

19
 Chapter IV

Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data

The researchers find the percentage of each students to know who disobeyed the

regulation of the school of wearing proper uniform that the researchers will going to know

and to advice. The research also provide a question about if there are effects on their

academic performance when they are disobeying the rules of wearing proper uniform and

find the percentage of it. Researchers also ask if there are effects on the interaction of

students and teacher when they are wearing improper uniform because this aspect between

interaction with teacher also affects the academic performance of the students and the

subjects.

Chapter V

Summary of Findings

In our study regarding stem grade 12 section B using the Likert scale to determine the

difference between high and low number of respondents. All the data gathered comes from

the survey questionnaire and being tabulated that can be seen above in chapter 4. The

subject answers the question as to why they do not comply with the school's complete

uniform policy? Because of being exhausted, forgot to wash and not matter when they are on

the way to school. In sum up, students from Bestlink college of the Philippines STEM strand

grade12 students section B have a low percentage of students that are disobeying the rule of

school especially in wearing improper uniform.

Conclusions

24
 Allowing Students to wear their own fashion of clothes regardless of wearing

mandatory uniform makes themselves and it improves their self-confidence because they can

feel their freedom and it will lessen their financial for not buying school uniform, moreover,

they can freely choose what they wanted to wear in everyday schooling.

Evidence shows Wearing Improper Uniform has no effect in Academic Performances;

additionally, clothes don't make a Student and it's not related to their School Performances.

According to data, there is no negative effect in Academic Performance the Wearing of

Improper Uniform, this shows that their Academic Performance is still the same even though

they're wearing improper or proper Uniform and it does not change the interaction of the

Students with their Teachers.

Although it has negative effects with their own safety and belongingness and some Teachers

are punishing the Students that don't obey the rules and regulations of wearing proper

uniform, survey shows that it doesn’t affect the Academic Performance and their clothes

don't make their grades. By Observation, the researchers find out that there's no negative

effects of wearing Improper Uniform in Academic Performance and Interaction of the

Students with their Teacher.

The Bestlink College of the Philippines has rules and regulations regarding with the Mandatory

School Uniform, but some has not. If Students are wearing Improper Uniform, there are

Guidance Counselor whom will punish them for disobeying the rules and regulations of school

but clothes didn't make the Student and it has no negative effects with their grades and

performances.

One moment will come that the Students will have financial problem and can't buy uniform

or not having enough time to wash their uniforms because there's a lot of project and
25
assignments that they need to do, they are confident and having no worries because their

intelligence is not based on wearing proper uniform, so there will be no negative effects of

wearing improper uniform in Academic Performance.

School uniform does not make pupils learn more, as long as students come appropriately

dressed, clothing isn't a major factor in their learning. The researchers believe in treating

children as individuals with rights and responsibilities."

Recommendations

The wearing of improper uniform will not affect the academic performance of the

students. The concern for student is their attendance, if they can't enter the school because

they have wear improper uniform, the classroom mayors and secretaries will going to

monitor the attendance of the students and will be passed to the guidance office then they

will give the student a call slip for their parents. So that the student will be forced to go home

to change and wear their complete proper uniform. But also it's highly recommended to the

students and counselor to have less worries if the students are wearing improper uniform

because wearing improper uniform has no negative effects in academic performances,

therefore, students can go to school even if students are wearing improper uniform, but it all

depends on school rules and regulations. The students are allowed to go to school, but in

Bestlink College of the Philippines, wearing uniform is mandatory, so the solution is if the

students are wearing improper uniform, the students can't go inside because of the security

and the council's guidance, the students will have no choice but to follow the rules and

regulation of the school.
