Abstract:
Social and emotional learning plays an important role in shaping the academic performance of senior high school students. This descriptive correlational design aimed to determine the level of social and emotional learning and the academic performance of the 438 senior high school students at Divine Word College of San Jose. Weighted mean, Pearson’s r coefficient, and regression analysis were used to treat the tallied and encoded data. Results revealed that students showed a high level of agreement in their social learning (3.32) and their emotional learning (3.36). Findings proved that the senior high school students agreed that social learning had improved their ability to set goals and work successfully towards academics. Moreover, the senior high school students showed a moderately high level of agreement with the five indicators presented by the researchers. Thus, Statistical results showed the rejection of the null hypothesis with a supported p-value of 0.000. Therefore, there is a highly significant relationship between social and emotional learning and the academic performance of the senior high school students at Divine Word College of San Jose. This study highlights the importance of integrating social and emotional learning into the educational curriculum to support students’ holistic development. Schools can create a nurturing environment that promotes academic excellence and well-being by fostering these skills. This study recommends that school administrators support the senior high school department for its improvements by engaging in different school activities, specifically academic activities, that can contribute more to their performance.
