Introduction
Disruptive
behavior of children is the common problem encountered by the teachers inside
the classroom. Most of the time this will hamper the smooth flow of the teaching
and learning process. This complex and troubling issue needs to be carefully
understood by the parents, teachers, and other adults. Children as
young as in the elementary schools can show disruptive behavior. Parents
and other adults who have children with such behavior were alarmed; however,
they often hope that the young child will "grow out of it." Disrupted
behavior in a child at any age always needs to be addressed seriously. It
should not be quickly dismissed as "just a phase they're going through!" (Rynders,
2006,p 216).
Numerous
research studies have concluded that a complex interaction or combination of
factors associated with disruptive behavior leads the child and young
adolescents to exhibit extreme disruptive behavior in the future if not given
much attention earlier. Research studies have shown that these disruptive
behaviors can be reduced or even prevented in school, depending on the
efforts exerted by the pupil, teachers, and school administrators in improving
their school facilities and policies. Most importantly,
efforts should be directed by the parents by decreasing or eliminating exposure
of children to violence at home and in the community. This is the usual reason
why a certain pupil exhibits some sort of disruptive behavior.
(Fernandez, 2003, p 108).
Various
researchers have introduced different character curricula in an effort to
improve the negative behavior. A NBCT interviewees was quoted stating “if we
want children to practice good character traits in school, we must teach
children what is acceptable versus unacceptable behavior” (Brannon, 2008).
Instructional
strategies that were implemented throughout the schools being surveyed were
taught through modeling, discussion, role-playing activities and cooperative
learning. There was also a focus on the notion that these strategies should be
practiced at home in addition to the classroom, mainly because adults in a
child’s life, whether he may be a teacher or a family member served as role
models for children.
Rynders
(2006) and Barton, Richard and Wenglinsky (1998) addressed an instructional
method called “Character Counts!”, developed by the Josephson Institute of
Ethics stated that. “If children internalize the right values, and their
actions are informed by those values, they will become responsible citizens in
the school hall and school room, as they will in the community as a whole”.
(Barton et al., 1998, p. 35). The program known as the six pillars of character are presented: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship. According to the “Character Counts!” website, a school in Montcalm County, Michigan has seen a decline in discipline referrals over two years (Rynders, 2006, p.216). Once children learn about character and how to develop it within, they want to become better individuals.

The
Cabanglasan District Teachers are aware of the disrupted behaviors shown
by some of the Grade IV & V pupils wherein they showed a wide range of
behaviors such as: explosive temper tantrums, physical aggression,
fighting, threats or attempts to hurt others (including homicidal thoughts),
cruelty toward animals, taunting and teasing to physical assaults and
destruction of property. Whenever disruptive behavior occurs at school, whether
in the form of physical assault or emotional abuse, the learning process is
disrupted, not only for the children directly involved but for teachers and
children bystanders (Daniel L.4 Smallwood . . .)
Many of
the factors causing disruptive behavior disorders happen very early in a
Childs’ life. It is important to recognize and act on the problems as
early as possible. The Treatment that has shown the best results is a
combination of: specialized skills training, behavior therapies to teach young
people how to control and express feeling in a healthy ways and coordination of
services with the young person’s school and other involved agencies.

The
government introduced and formulates acts to protect child rights and
Department of Social Worker and Development (DSWD) is the lead agency to look
into this. The“PantawidPamilyangPilino Program (4Ps)”, is one of these
where in the government will not just share the financial support to the
children but it educates the parents as well on how to care, understand and
protect their children. In spite of all these, some children are still exposed
to some factors either at home and in the community that triggers them to have
disrupted behavior which affected their school performance.
This
study, did not only focused on the performance of the pupils’ having disruptive
behavior to measure how far the factors associated with disruptive
behavior affects the school performance of the Grade IV & V pupils in
Cabanglasan District.
