THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Student council is an organization composed students and supervised by teachers

or adults. The purpose of the student council is to give students an opportunity to develop

leadership by organizing and carrying out school activities and service projects. In addition

to planning events that contribute to school spirit and community welfare, the student

council is the voice of the student body. They help share student ideas, interests and

concerns with the school wide community.

This framework is visible to all educational institutions, ranging from primary to

tertiary levels, charged with different responsibilities that are closely connected with the

school administration for its efficient and smooth flow of the mandated programs. Helping

the student body through the teachers in implementing such measures strengthen the efforts

that effectively make those measures possible.

Being in the atmosphere of governance, student leaders are critical when issues

concerning within the school or themselves, problems arise due to many factors. These

factors, driven from either external or internal, may interfere and affect their performance

of respective duties. They, officers of the student council as they are, also experience

problems as students since they do the same things as ordinary students are doing. In the

same manner, pressure from their peers hinder them from performing functions as they can

influence whatever the decision for any platform it may be.

 Based from the established researches, the researchers felt the need to find out the

effectiveness of leadership of the former Junior SASEC officers to determine the ways on

how to be an effective student leader.

Background of the study

It is being widely recognized that young people have the tight to be heard and to

speak out about their school experiences. International policy makers are urging the

contribution of young people to today’s and tomorrow’s world. The U.N. Convention on

the Rights of the Child included the right of children to be heard as one of their four basic

principles. How to listen and learn, as well as to teach and lead, is the challenge for

teachers, schools and their communities (Teaching and Learning, 2003).

A Student Council is a group of elected and volunteer students working together

with an adult advisor within the framework of a constitution or by laws to provide a means

for student’s expression and assistance in school affairs and activities. It also gives

opportunities for student experience in leadership and encourages student, faculty, and

community relations. (Texas Association of Student Councils, 2016)

Every SSG in each school, they must have one SSG Adviser who is designated by

the head of the School Administration. They must be preferably from the Social Science

Department with a good moral character and reputation in school and community he/she

shall monitor the programs, projects, activities and meetings of the SSG always.

The constitution also consists of the duties and the functions of each Student

Government Officers. The constitution enumerates the roles of the President, Vice-

President, Secretary, Treasurer, Auditor, and Public Information Officer to the year level

representatives and their chairpersons. And they must organize committees to address

students’ need in every aspect especially for their welfare.

Statement of the Problem

This study will be conducted to determine the Effectiveness of the former Junior

SASEC officers of St. Anne College Lucena, Inc. for the S.Y. 2017-2018. Specifically, the

researchers will seek answers to the following questions:

1. What are the demographic profile of the participants in terms of:

1.1.Previous Position.

2. What is the level of effectiveness of the leadership of the former Junior SASEC

officers?

3. What output should be done to have an effective set of student leaders?

Scope and Delimitation

The study focuses on the Effectiveness of Leadership of the former Junior St. Anne

Student Executive Council Officers of St. Anne College Lucena, Inc for the S.Y 2017-

2018.

The data collection will be conducted to the 15 former Junior SASEC Officers of

St. Anne College Lucena, Inc.for the S.Y. 2017-2018. Other students which do not fall as

part of former Junior SASEC Officers are not within the scope of the research. The study

would be done through the utilization of questionnaire to the chosen respondents as a

survey and reference. By their strategy the researchers will be able to know the

Effectiveness of Leadership of the former Junior SASEC Officers of St. Anne College

Lucena, Inc. for the S.Y. 2017-2018.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents the various related literature and studies to support the

researchers’ study. These literatures served as foundation of the present study gathered

from published and unpublished materials such as textbooks, magazines, journals and

websites.

Review of Related Literature

A leader is an individual of character whose actions and words are not constricted

by negative pressures from those around him, who sets positive examples through his

actions, and who can bring in those around him. (Streight, 2010)

According to Caroll (2007), leadership is the process of influencing others to move

in a direction to achieve certain goals. It can influence a person, an organization or a

community.

Any student can run for a position or try to get involved in other ways. Typically,

students who get involved in their schools’ governments care a lot about their schools and

campus communities, do well in leadership roles, are proactive, want to get involved with

student life at its roots and are interested in government and politics. (Accredited Schools

Online, 2019)

A leader must have the following characteristics: emotional stability,

assertivenesss, sense of humor, enthusiasm, conscientiousness, risk taker, tough

mindedness, self-assurance, compulsiveness, intuitiveness, maturity, team orientation,

empathy, and charisma. (Cattel, 2010)

Professional skills like effective communication, research, presenting ideas,

organizing meetings and events and collaborating between different groups can all be

developed and honed through student government. (Accredited Schools Online, 2019)

In the meantime, there are various leadership qualities that are associated with good

leaders. Good communication skills are a must for all leaders will associate with the people

they are leading. If they are not able to communicate well, their leadership will not be

effective. A good leader is one who will be able to withstand pressure. They should be able

to contain their emotions regardless of the pressure that is around them. Another leadership

quality that essential for a leader in trustworthiness. For one to agree to be led, they need

to be able to trust the person leading them. They should be honest and easily approachable.

When they can be easily approached it will be easy for them to know that the people, they

are leading need and hence how to meet their needs (Gitundu, 2009).

Effective teamwork is an invaluable skill that students will certainly get to practice

while in student government. (Accredited Schools Online, 2019)

According to Kelly (2008), Hughes mentioned that motivation is critical part of

leadership because it is necessary to understand each other in order to lead effectively.

Human relations perspective in management theory grew from the fact that worker output

was greater when the worker was treated humanistically. It is whatever influences choices

and creates direction, intensity, and persistence in behavior.

 However, Boesen (2009) pointed out that a positive attitude should be maintained

by a leader. It may include friendliness, enthusiasm and a positive outlook. Being an

example is also pointed out. Self-confidence is also one thing where the leader knows

exactly where he is heading and their calm and controlled behavior even in bad situations.

According to Fielder (1964), leadership performance is characterized by leader-

member relation, task structure and position power. Leader-member relations include the

followers’ feeling about the leader, including the level of trust, acceptance, and credibility

of leader. Good leader-member relations exist when followers respect, trust and have

confidence in the leader, while poor leader-member relations reflect distrust, a lack of

confidence and respect, and dissatisfaction with the leader by the followers. Task structure

includes the extent to which work tasks are defined by specific procedures, directions and

goals. Tasks are classified as high structure which involves routine, clearly defined work

tasks or low structure which involves not routine, predictable, creative, working “on the

fly” and qualitative research activities. Position power includes the amount of influence

and/or the degree of formal authority that the leader has. In this model, high position power

is considered favorable while low position power is considered less so. Fielder showed that

a task-directed leader, considered with task accomplishment was effective. The situations

need interpersonal and relationship skills to foster group achievement.

Review of Related Studies

According to Aymoldanovna et al. (2015), student government as an active form of

organization of life of students by the authors is presented as an opportunity to develop

leadership skills, as well as the factor of personal and professional formation of the future

specialist. The effectiveness of leadership development of students depends on the integrity

complex, psychological and pedagogical conditions as integral aggregate consisting of

specially organized activities of the student government, providing students stay in a

leadership role, the development priorities of leadership qualities.

The roles of each Student Government officers must be fulfilled. It was in their

preamble they recited upon their win in the campus-wide elections. Every month, the

school’s head of administration or the principal receives the accomplishment reports. The

accomplishment reports state the activities achieved by the Supreme Student Government.

They follow a certain calendar of activities that would be their guide into preparing the

activities. (Cayabyab & Racho, 2015)

The Student Government deals with the organization and regulation of student

activities, academic curricula, and discipline at schools, colleges, and universities by

student bodies or councils. A group of officers, elected by students and consisting of

students and some faculty members, acts as a channel of communication between the

administrators of the institution, such as the school principal or the president and board of

governors of a college, and the students. It also takes part in the regulation of educational,

disciplinary, and extracurricular activities and listens to the grievances of students

(Microsoft Encarta, 2009)

 However, Garlejo (2006) said that every college or university has a student Council

as the supreme student organization of the school. Its main role is to ensure that the rights

and welfare of all students are always upheld and promoted. The Student Council is tasked

to develop school spirit and promote the general welfare of the students; to advise the

university/college President on student matters, affairs and activities of distinctly

intercollegiate concern; to adopt its own by-laws for its internal and general government;

to coordinate student activities; and to exercise such powers and perform such act of duties

as the school authorities may from time to time delegate to it.

In a study made by Cayabyab and Racho (2015), the effect of the student

government to high school students depend how the student government organization

managed the welfare of the students and the school. They are the one who keeps the peace,

balance and discipline in the school. So, if the student government officers have no

capability to keep the peace, balance and discipline in the school. They are not effective

leaders. Without them, no one will discipline the students because not all the teachers and

staff can handle a hundred or thousands of students. No one will voice out all the student

body, student government is also the voice of all students. The student government officers

are the students’ connection to the management of the school, if there will be a meeting the

student government will be their representative and stand up for the entire student wants.

The effect can be good and bad. The student government teaches the student how to choose

and vote the right leader.

Student government exists to ensure that students have the best possible experience

on campus through advocacy and programming. From a programming perspective, this

means outreach to all students through organizing a variety of interesting events to address
programming needs of a very diverse population. When it comes to student government

money, responsible disbursement also means devolving responsibility to student

organizations who more effectively address certain sections of the student body. From the

student’s perspective, their main affiliation tends to be with their academic unit, and they

may also choose to align themselves with a student interest group. Thus, there is the

expectation that their programming fee be distributed to their academic student

organization and to the student interest group with which they are aligned. (Fakharzadeh

and Todd, 2010)

Positional leadership and priority of engagement during high school were

predictive of leader skill and self-efficacy. The study also found that mental and physical

engagement in college organizations predicted leader motivations and skills. The study was

conducted to understand how the leadership development process is affected at different

points in time over young adulthood and should continue to be studied for greater insights

into how to unlock the leadership potential in young leaders. (Nelson, 2017)

On the other hand, Gacutan (2006) said that leaders of different student

organizations in every campus played very important roles to perform for school

enhancement. They are considered as a powerful vigor of human resources that the school

taps for instruction as well as in school organization. This is very true to students for they

are considered as the most important element of the educational community. Though young

as they are, students are aware of the many problems that confront their school life and

their future.
 Findings from the interviews showed the portrayal of leadership resting on two

important concepts: the abilities of the leader and the contextual needs of the audiences.

The narratives revealed that student leaders put emphasis on how their personalities would

guide them. Attributes such as compassion, passion, discipline, enthusiasm,

responsiveness, and openness were concepts shared by the leaders. One mentioned if a

leader “knows how to go along with the direction the body (or group) wants,” a smooth

interpersonal relationship could happen. Some of them also confessed that “attitude

determines leadership” as influence is seen in such a trait. One narrated that the attributes

should be present before engagement with students; a leader can never really know the

expectations of the audience. (Labor, 2018, p. 30)

The youth-led efforts to create change in schools, school districts and education-

related policies are increasing. Research suggests that youth organizing can have a positive

impact on young people’s skill development, sense of agency, and level of community

involvement. Combined with evidence of concrete changes in education policies and

practices resulting from youth organizing, this suggests we should take seriously the role

of students as active change agents in their own education, as well as in other policy arenas

that affect their lives. (Shanahan, 2015)

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter discusses the methods and procedures adopted by the researchers in

conducting this study. This included the research design, research locale, population and

sampling, research instrumentation, and data gathering procedure.

Research Design

The study uses the descriptive type of research which will be utilized quantitative

approach in the determination of the experiences encountered by the former Junior St.

Anne Student Executive Council officers of St. Anne College Lucena, Inc. for the S.Y.

2017-2018. Quantitative research will be used to determine the reasons why the

participants are experiencing those experiences in their capacity as SASEC officers. This

method will also be used as it involves the description, recording, analysis and

interpretation of the present nature, composition and processes of phenomena.

Research Locale

The study will be conducted within the premises of St. Anne College Lucena Inc.,

along Diversion Road, Brgy. Gulang-Gulang, Lucena City. The school offers complete

educational programs starting from pre-elementary, elementary, junior high school, senior

high school and tertiary education. Considering its length of fruitful existence, St. Anne

College proved it worth to the society, particularly in its own locality.

The researchers decided to choose the school as their locale of study as it is the

place where they are spending their basic education and it is accessible.
Population and Sampling

The participants of the study will be the former officers of the Junior St. Anne

Student Executive Council of St. Anne College Lucena Inc. which would be selected with

a population of 15 participants in order to gather data pertinent to the study. The

participants will be chosen through a purposive cluster sampling since the study focuses

on the experiences encountered by the former Junior St. Anne Student Executive Council

officers.

Research Instrumentation

questionnaire in determining the Effectiveness of the former Junior St. Anne Student

Executive Council officers of St. Anne College Lucena, Inc. for the S.Y. 2017-2018. The

guide questions formulated will be checked by the Research Adviser and other validators

to validate its content, prior to distribution among Junior High School students.

The guide questions will be composed of three parts. The first part covers the

demographic profile of the respondents in terms of previous position. Part II deals with the

effectiveness of the former Junior SASEC officers. And Part III describes the actions on

how to have an effective set of student leaders.

Data Gathering Procedure

Table 2. Identified Characteristics of a Good Leader.

 Table 2 shows the distribution of responses among the characteristics of a good

leader. In this portion, respondents which is the former Junior SASEC Officers identified

whether they Strongly Agree, Agree, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree in the given

characteristics of a good leader.

In the result of the gathered data, the statement “A good leader is fully committed on

being a SASEC officer.” got the highest weighted average mean of 2.87 with the descriptive

meaning of “Agree”. This means that most of the former Junior SASEC Officers are fully

committed on being a SASEC Officer. On the other hand, the statement “A good leader does not

make excuses; he/she take the blame regardless and work the problem as soon as possible.” got the

lowest weighted average mean of 2.07 with the descriptive meaning of “Disagree”. This means that

most of the former Junior SASEC Officers somehow make excuses and do not resolve problems as

soon as possible.

In overall the weighted average mean is 2.59 with the descriptive meaning of “Agree”.

Based from this finding, it is implied that the former Junior SASEC Officers agreed that they are

effective leaders of their term and has the characters of being a good leader. According to

(Accredited Schools Online, 2019), effective teamwork is an invaluable skill that students

will certainly get to practice while in student government. And, Boesen (2009) pointed out

that a positive attitude should be maintained by a leader. It may include friendliness,

enthusiasm and a positive outlook. Being an example is also pointed out. Self-confidence

is also one thing where the leader knows exactly where he/she is heading and their calm

and controlled behavior even in bad situations.
