ABSTRACT:
The complex interaction of personal characteristics and the learning environment has a substantial impact on learners’ educational experiences. This study aimed to determine how grit and self-regulation are associated with the learners' classroom engagement. It sought to find out the learners’ level of grit in terms of consistency of interest and perseverance of effort, self-regulation, and classroom engagement in terms of learner-learner, learner-teacher, and learner-class, and its significant relationships. The respondents were the 134 Grade 6 learners of the North-II District of Gingoog City. It utilized a questionnaire adapted from Duckworth’s Grit Scale survey and Moilanen’s Self-Regulation combined with a self-made questionnaire for engagement. The study made use of a descriptive correlational design utilizing a universal sampling among respondents. Moreover, it used Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (r) statistical techniques to treat the data of the study. Results revealed that learners' grit is Very High in terms of consistency of interest and High in perseverance of effort, and Very High in self-regulation. Moreover, the study concluded a significant relationship between learners’ grit and classroom engagement, and learners’ self-regulation and classroom engagement. Further, it recommended integrating learning activities in school programs such as homeroom guidance, Gender and Development, and Catch-up Fridays, as well as several learning areas that will enable the fostering of grit and self-regulation among learners.
