Chapter I INTRODUCTION The Problem and It's Scope

Rationale Culture is a complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morale, laws, customs and any other capabilities and habits as acquired by man as a member of society. According to Taylor (1871), it is the way of life or design for living. It was learned and shared among group of individual in the society. Furthermore, culture defines behavior/attitudes, values and goals. Formation of behavior requires a long process. It depends on how individual interacts in the social content by socializing to others. An individual specifically the learners, start to feel social pressures and the pressure of behavior that are different from theirs, as they relate to other people. The strength of behavior formed through their parents is put to the test. Behavior are often confused with habits and parents hope that school will form the behavior that were not instilled at home. This is not possible, because school does not fulfill the basic needs of life, that is the responsibility of those who raise them. Teachers, leaders, and behavior models at school can reinforce what was formed at home, but they cannot replace them.

According to Dierking (2013), behavior is only part of the total activity of an organism, and some formal delimitation is called for. As distinct from the other activities of the organism, the phenomena of behavior are held together by a common conspicuousness. Behavior is what an organism is doing or more accurately what is observed by another organism to be doing. It is more to the point to say that behavior is that part of the functioning of an organism which is engaged in acting upon or having commerce with the outside world. In connection to this, individuals may learn new behaviors by observing other people’s behavior, that is, through social learning or modelling. They see other people behaving in a certain way and imitate them. Eversince an individual was born, he/she was exposed to the different factors that may influence learner's behavior. There were many factor influencing the formation of behavior. It may be the environment where the individual belongs, the people sorrounds him and the different practices or so called as culture may influence the behavior. In related to this, the study will be conducted to focus only in culture specifically Boholano culture. These days, due to the unending rapid changes in culture, different behaviors were also acquired by the learners. Behaviors that were both good and bad. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is to identify the different Boholano cultures and to determined whether students were really adapting and executing these cultures. Most specifically, the study aims to find out the significant relationship between the Boholano culture to the learner's behavior.

Theoretical Background

Sociocultural theory by Lev S. Vygotksy will this study. It is an emerging theory in psychology that looks at the important contributions that society makes to individual development. This theory stresses the interaction between developing people and the culture in which they live. This theory suggests that human learning is largely a social process. Sociocultural theory focuses not only how adults and peers influence individual learning, but also on how cultural beliefs and attitudes impact how instruction and learning take place. Children are born with basic biological constraints on their minds. Each culture, however, provides what he referred to as 'tools of intellectual adaptation.' These tools allow children to use their basic mental abilities in a way that is adaptive to the culture in which they live. (Vygotsky, 1978, p.57) People are eager to help children learn new skills needed to live in their culture. There are differences in children due to their circumstances – time, culture.

According to Sigrid S. Glenn, a synthesis of cultural materialism and behavior analysis might increase the scientific and technological value of both fields. Conceptual and substantive relations between the two fields show important similarities, particularly with regard to the causal role of the environment in behavioral and cultural evolution. B.F. Skinner proposed that our differences in our learning experiences are the main reason behind our individual differences in our behavior. And we learn these patterns of behavior either directly (reward as positive reinforcement of good behavior

or punishment as a negative hreinforcement of bad behavior) or indirectly (through observational learning or modeling). Skinner believed that it is simply human nature that we behave in such a way that we would receive rewards or favorable things. If we want to experience reinforcement, then we should develop personality traits that are positive, such as those attributes included in the "agreeableness" category of the Big Five (e.g. being understanding, comionate, empathetic, and a positive thinker). In this sense, Skinner argued that we respond to every kind of reinforcement, and that our behavior and personality traits can be shaped and controlled by the society. In addition to this, Skinner implied that if we want our negative traits to be changed into positive ones, we must changed our environment first. This strict behaviorist point of view tries to refute other psychologists belief that we must alter our inner self first (that is, our own personality traits) before we can fully experience the change that we want.

According to Julian Rotter in his Social Learning Theory, personality is a representation of the between the person and his environment. Therefore, his theory posits that we must consider both the individual and his environment before having a full understanding of his behavior. In line with this, Rotter believed that personality is a set of potentials that man uses to respond in certain circumstances. For Rotter, personality and behavior can always be altered. According to him, changing the environment the individual is in and changing his way of thinking would lead to a change in his behavior, and therefore in his personality traits also change according to that specific situation. In contrast with psychoanalytical theories

and strict behavioral theories, Rotter argues that humans do not just behave to avoid punishment; rather, we are motivated to act by our life goals and our vision to maximize the rewards we would receive.

Statement of the Problem The study aims to correlate the Adaptivity of Boholano Culture and Learning Behavior of the Grade 12 Senior High School students in Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School, G Avenue, Tagbilaran City for SY 2017-2018.

Specifically, this study seeks answers to the following questions : 1. What are the different Boholano cultures adapted by the Grade 12 students in of : 1.1 Beliefs ; 1.2 Value ; and 1.3 Morale? 2. What are the learners behavior in of these culture ? 3. Is there a significant relationship between the Learners Behavior and each of the following adapted Boholano Culture : 3.1 Beliefs; 3.2 Value; and 3.3 Morale?

Statement of the Hypothesis There will be a significant relationship between the adapted Boholano Culture and the learner's behavior

Significance of the Study DNHS istration. This study would help the Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School (DNHS) istration in giving the next generation of students who would engage in the same topic of thesis paper and this study will serve as their basis or reference in their study.

Students. This study would be beneficial to students in their awareness of the different Boholano culture especially they will going to evaluate on this study if they were really adapting and executing their own culture. Students will be knowledgeable about their behavior and its relationship to their own culture.

Parents and Community. This study would benefit both the parents and the community for it will give them an idea unto how culture specifically Boholano culture correlates to the student's

behavior. This would also benefit them in their awareness of their own culture and if they were really adapting and doing their own culture.

Future Researchers. This study would be beneficial to the future researchers by making this study as their source or reference of their procedure

Scope and Limitation This study aims to identify the different cultures especially Boholano cultures and to determine whether learners were really adapting and executing these culture and finally the aim of this study is to find out if there is a significant relationship between the adapted Boholano culture to the learners behavior. To achieve these aim, the researchers will use welltabulated questionnaire to gather the accurate data composing 25 questions that will be answered by 100 respondents particularly 100 Grade 12 learners in Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School in the school year 2017-2018.

Research Methodology Research design

This study will follow descriptive design analysis. According to Kothari (2005), descriptive approach illustrates the ideologies of population. Many scientific disciplines, especially social science and psychology, use this method to obtain a general overview of the subject. Descriptive research is often used as a precursor to quantitative research designs, the general overview give some valuable pointers as to what variables are worth testing quantitatively. The process of descriptive research is liable to generate perfect comprehensiveness about the selected inquiry/groups and thereby can establish interrelationships among the notable variables. Descriptive research can identify or rather justify practical conditions. Kumar (2005), states that descriptive research can assist the researchers in of creating data about similar population. It is capable of making assesstments and can compare factual data depicting relevant phenomena. This study makes use of descriptive research design as it analyzes in detail the Adaptivity of Boholano Cultures towards learners behavior.

Research Instrument In this study, the researcher will make use a survey questionnaire check-list to gather the needed data from the students in response to the study. In preparation of the instrument, focus group discussion is done by the researchers to tabulate the most related questions to their topic. In addition, the researchers will try their very best to formulate an easy to answer questions. Furthermore, the instrument will be personally distributed and will be istered by the researcher and it will be answered by the respondents in a short time.

Research Environment The locale and the conducting of this study will be in Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School along G North Avenue Tagbilaran City, Bohol. This institution is a secondary school and is known to be the biggest school in the province.

Research Participants The respondents/participants of this study will be the 100 Grade 12 students of Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School, batch 2017-2018. The researcher will be polite on asking the respondents to answer the questionnaire. Research procedure

Statistical treatment The number of participants was determined through the Z-test formula.

The researchers computed the weighted mean to determine the relation of working environment and the employees performance.The calculated weighted mean of the working environment both physical and behavioral is based on the following scale:

To determine the relation between the Adaptivity of Boholano Culture In relation to Learners Behavior, the Pearson r is use with the formula.

r = (n(∑×y)-(∑x)(∑y))√(n∑x^(2- [ (∑x) ] ^2 ) ][n∑y^(2- [(∑y)] ^2 ) ] )

Where: r = coefficient of correlation / persona n= number of case ∑ = summation notation x = scores of independent variable y = scores of dependent variable In determining the degree of co relation r, the following were used.

0= correlation, no relationship +0.01 to +0.20 = slight correlation, almost negligible relationship +0.21 to +0.40 =slight correlation, definite but small relationship +0.41 to +0.70 = moderate correlation, sustainable but small relationship +0.71 to + 0.90 = high correlation, marked relationship

+0.91 to +0.99 = very high correlation, very dependable relationship +1.00 = percent correlation, perfec relationship
