This quantitative study examines the relationship between student government policies and discipline in high school, suggesting broader factors influence behavior.
School policy implementation plays a critical role in shaping student behavior and maintaining discipline; however, limited quantitative evidence exists on how student government initiatives influence discipline at the school level. This study examined the level of implementation of student government policies and its relationship with student discipline in Baluan National High School. A quantitative descriptive-correlational design was employed, involving 193 students and 11 teachers in total of 204 randomly selected respondents. Data were collected using a validated survey questionnaire and analyzed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation to determine levels of implementation and discipline, and to test the relationship between variables. Findings revealed that the implementation of student government policies was generally evident (M = 3.56), while students demonstrated a high level of discipline (M = 3.48). Students showed strong awareness of policies (M = 3.77) but only moderate consistency in implementation (M = 3.25). Correlation analysis indicated a very weak and non-significant relationship between policy implementation and student discipline (r = 0.054, p = 0.85). The results suggest that student discipline is not significantly influenced by student government policy implementation alone but is likely shaped by broader factors such as school environment, teacher supervision, and student self-regulation. While policy implementation is present, strengthening consistency, monitoring, and enforcement mechanisms may enhance its effectiveness in promoting discipline.
