LITERATURE REVIEW

History of school safety rules

The implementation of safety rules of SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL students of BALATONG INTERESTED
SCHOOL itis a relatively recent phenomenon. Senior high schools were established in the Philippines in
2016 as part of the GRADE-12 educational reform program.

As part of this reform, the Department of Education issued guidelines for the implementation of safety
and security measures in senior high schools. These guidelines include requirements for school facilities,
such as fire exits, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers. Schools are also required to conduct regular fire
drills and earthquake drills.

In addition to physical safety measures, senior high schools are also required to implement policies and
programs to promote mental health and well-being among students. This includes providing counseling
services and support for students who may be struggling with mental health issues.

The DepEd also requires senior high schools to implement measures to prevent bullying and other forms
of violence. This includes developing anti-bullying policies and providing training for teachers and staff
on how to prevent and respond to incidents of bullying.
Types of safety rules implemented in school

There are various types of safety rules implemented in senior high schools to ensure a safe and secure
learning environment for students.

Physical Safety Rules: These rules focus on ensuring the safety of students and staff within the school
premises. Examples include having fire exits, fire alarms, and fire extinguishers, conducting regular fire
and earthquake drills, having a first aid kit, and maintaining safe and secure school facilities.

Cybersecurity Rules: With the increasing use of technology in education, senior high schools need to
implement cybersecurity rules to protect students and staff from online threats. Examples of
cybersecurity rules include having secure passwords, using antivirus software, not sharing personal
information online, and being cautious of online scams and phishing.

Health and Hygiene Rules: BALATONG INTERESTED SCHOOL Senior high schools implement health and
hygiene rules to promote the physical well-being of students and staff. Examples include requiring
students and staff to wear masks, maintaining cleanliness in the school premises, providing hand
sanitizers, and encouraging students to practice good hygiene habits like washing their hands regularly.

Behavioral Safety Rules: These rules focus on promoting positive behavior and preventing incidents of
bullying and violence. Examples of behavioral safety rules include having an anti-bullying policy,
providing counseling services for students, and promoting a culture of respect and inclusivity in the
school community.

Effectiveness of safety rules in preventing accidents

However, it is generally agreed that safety rules are essential in preventing accidents in any setting,
including schools. The implementation of safety rules in senior high schools can help reduce the risk of
accidents and injuries among students, teachers, and staff.

Safety rules can include guidelines for safe behavior in the classroom, laboratory, and other school
settings. Rules can cover topics such as proper handling of equipment, use of personal protective
equipment, and safe practices during experiments and demonstrations. They can also address topics
such as fire safety, emergency response, and evacuation procedures.

The effectiveness of safety rules in preventing accidents depends on several factors, including the
quality of the rules, the level of compliance among students and staff, and the effectiveness of
enforcement and monitoring. Rules that are clear, concise, and easy to follow are more likely to be
effective than those that are vague or difficult to understand. Compliance with rules can be encouraged
through training and education, and through positive reinforcement and recognition of good behavior.

Ultimately, the effectiveness of safety rules in preventing accidents in senior high schools will depend on
the commitment of the school community to prioritize safety. This includes the support of school
administrators, teachers, and staff, as well as the engagement of students and parents in promoting a
culture of safety in the school.

METHODOLOGY

Research design

The research design for studying the implementation of safety rules in schools should be based on a
mixed-method approach that combines qualitative and quantitative methods. This approach can help to
provide a comprehensive understanding of the implementation of safety rules in schools, including the
factors that facilitate or hinder their implementation.
The following are the steps that can be used to design a research study on the implementation of safety
rules in school:

Identify the research question- The first step in designing a research study on the implementation of
safety rules in schools is to identify the research question. For example, the research question could be,
"What are the factors that facilitate or hinder the implementation of safety rules in Senior High Schools
in the Philippines?"

Develop a conceptual framework- Based on the research question, a conceptual framework can be
developed that identifies the factors that are likely to influence the implementation of safety rules in
schools. This framework can be used to guide the research study and to develop research hypotheses.

Determine the research design- The research design should be based on a mixed-method approach
that combines qualitative and quantitative methods. Qualitative methods can be used to gather data on
the experiences, perceptions, and attitudes of students, teachers, and administrators regarding the
implementation of safety rules.

Select the sample- The sample for the research study should be representative of the population of
interest, which in this case is Senior High Schools in the Philippines. The sample can be selected using a
random sampling method to ensure that the results are generalizable to the population.

Collect data- Data can be collected using various methods such as surveys, interviews, focus groups, and
observations. Surveys can be used to gather quantitative data on safety rule violations and the
effectiveness of safety programs. I

Analyze data- The data collected can be analyzed using statistical methods for quantitative data and
thematic analysis for qualitative data. The data can be compared and triangulated to develop a
comprehensive understanding of the implementation of safety rules in schools.
 Draw conclusions- Based on the data analysis, conclusions can be drawn regarding the factors that
facilitate or hinder the implementation of safety rules in schools. Recommendations can also be made
for improving the implementation of safety rules in schools.

Data collection methods

There are several data collection methods that can be used to study the implementation of safety rules
in schools, specifically in Senior High School students. Some of these data collection methods include:

Surveys- Surveys are a common data collection method used to gather information about the
implementation of safety rules in schools. Surveys can be used to gather quantitative data on the
prevalence of safety rule violations, the effectiveness of safety programs, and the attitudes and
perceptions of students, teachers, and administrators regarding safety rules.

Interviews- Interviews can be used to gather qualitative data on the experiences and perceptions of
students, teachers, and administrators regarding the implementation of safety rules. Interviews can be
conducted individually or in focus groups.

Observations- Observations can be used to gather data on the actual implementation of safety rules in
schools. Observations can be conducted in classrooms, hallways, and other areas of the school to gather
data on safety rule violations and the effectiveness of safety programs.

Document analysis- Document analysis can be used to gather data on school policies, safety plans, and
other documents related to safety rules. This can provide insight into the formal guidelines and
procedures for implementing safety rules in schools.
Sample and sampling techniques

Sample: The sample for this study will include senior high school students from different schools in the
city. The sample size will be determined using the formula for sample size calculation based on the
population size, level of confidence, and margin of error.

Sampling Techniques- The sampling techniques that will be used in this study are simple random
sampling and stratified random sampling. Simple random sampling will be used to select schools from
the population of senior high schools in the city. Stratified random sampling will be used to select
students from each selected school based on their grade level and gender.

The implementation of safety rules in school will be assessed using a survey questionnaire that will be
administered to the selected students. The questionnaire will include questions on their knowledge and
understanding of safety rules, their compliance with safety rules, and their perception of the
effectiveness of safety rules in promoting a safe and secure school environment.
