Abstract

This descriptive study was conducted to determine the relationship between school attitude of students from a relocation area in Cavite and their academic performance in order to devise a school/classroom motivation activity. The study was based on the concept interpreted by Godwin and Okoronka (2015) of the Congruity Theory. The questionnaire used was adopted in the SAAS-R-School Attitude Assessment Survey-Revised developed by McCoach and Siegle (2013) as the means of gathering the data. The questionnaire was composed of 35 items which were divided into 5 dimensions namely: (a) Academic Self-Perception, (b) Attitude toward Teachers and Classes, (c) Attitude toward School, (d) Goal Valuation, (e) Motivation and Self-Regulation. The respondents of the study were 122 students residing from a relocation area in Cavite, and their 15 teachers.
