Abstract

Aims: To investigate the causal relationship between and among effective teaching, self-regulation,  and study habits. Study Design:  Causal Relationship Analysis. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at CARAGA Region, Philippines during the school year 2022-2023. Methodology: A four-dimentional and validated survey questionnaire was used in gathering the data. Four hundred seventeen grade 12 Senior High School students were randomly chosen to be the respondents of the study. Results: Both perceptions of effective instruction and student study habits scored extremely well. Additionally, there were high levels of self-control, study habits, and Filipino proficiency. Furthermore, it was discovered that learning Filipino was significantly correlated with good teaching, self-control, and study habits. Model 5 produced the model that fit the data the best. Conclusion: The very high levels of perceived effectiveness in teaching and studying suggest that teachers fully model efficient learning and self-control in helping students learn Filipino. Similar to how strong study habits and serious Filipino learning indicate pupils who follow good study habits. Furthermore, the relationship between efficient instruction, self-control, and study habits demonstrates that these factors should be taken into account by teachers when instructing Filipino. The findings of this research demonstrate that learning Filipino is comparable to learning any other language.
