CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter contains the summary, conclusion and recommendations of

the study which were drawn from the results gained.

Summary

The mean of public junior high schools was 3.79 and the mean of private

junior high schools was 3.78 which fall under moderately aware. In addition,

due to their slight difference the results show that the public junior high schools

are more aware than private junior high schools. Moreover, the null hypothesis

was accepted because the p-value of 0.958 is greater than the level of

significance of 0.05. The level of awareness regarding reproductive health

among grade 11 student who came from public and private junior high schools

has no significant difference.

Conclusion

Based on the findings of this research, the researchers were able to

conclude that the mean of public junior high schools was 3.79 and the mean of

the private junior high schools was 3.78. The following ranges was used to

obtain the mean level of reproductive health awareness of both public and

private schools; 1.0-1.7 not at all aware, 1.8-2.5 slightly aware, 2.6-3.3

somewhat aware, 3.4-4.1 moderately aware and 4.2-5.0 extremely aware. In

addition, this concludes that the mean of both public and private junior high
schools falls under moderately aware. However, based on their slight

difference it only indicates that public junior high schools are more aware than

private junior high schools. Furthermore, the p-value of 0.958 is greater than

the level of significance of 0.05 therefore the null hypothesis was accepted.

In conclusion, the results show that there was no significant difference on

the level of reproductive health awareness among Grade 11 students who

came from public and private junior high schools.

Recommendations

Based on the findings and conclusions, the researchers recommended

that:

1. The administrators may arrange seminars for students to improve their

level of reproductive health awareness.

2. A study be conducted about the level of reproductive health awareness of

students from different private and public schools in Davao City.

3. The future researchers can use age and gender as their basis for

determining the level of reproductive health awareness.

4. Specific reproductive health problems may be used as basis for further

research.
