Content Analysis

Wearing school uniforms results in positive and negative effects and this is what researchers aim

for. The aim of the well-established school is to increase the rate of security in school, to regulate and

discipline students. Numerous schools embraced school uniforms as a way to add on safety and decreases

aberration in schools. In actuality, the parents of some students have raised questions and disapproves

regarding on uniform policy. The government officials are in favor of freedom for students but they

support the uniform policy for students to be more discipline. From the data that has been gathered, the

researchers conclude that the majority of the students says that there is a significant essence of wearing

school uniform is and it has a positive effect on it. There are strong supporters and arguments for both

sides of this issue, but in order to better understand the conflict, you must understand all of the benefits

and consequences that come from implementing a mandatory school uniform. This should be strongly

implemented for it is necessary as a student and it determines where the student is particularly studying in

case of some incidents that will going to happen. School uniforms can also reduce the clothing costs for

parents. Students who attend schools without a uniform policy may be more concerned about wearing

stylish or expensive clothing. That’s why that uniform is important as a student, it has a great impact, and

wearing school uniform has an effect in the Grade 11 students in STEM, HUMSS, and ABM students.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

This research will not be successful without their support and help of others.

First thing first, we thank God for guiding us in doing our work and ending with one of our

challenge as a student.

We would like to thank those students in HUMSS, STEM and AMB for their participation in our

survey who helped us to get a better result. Their respond is integral in our research because it is the key

for us to get the good results.

We also grateful that everyone in this group has a patience and support in overcoming the

tiredness we have been facing through this research. It is successfully done because of the hard work and

determination of each member.

We highly appreciate those respondents of our survey because of the time and efforts you have

given to the research study.

 CHAPTER I

Introduction

Should students wear school uniforms? Is it an advantage or disadvantage for the students? Some

are agreeable to uniforms especially the young ones or the children. But by the time that they hit middle

school or in an adolescent stage, it becomes a subject for debate. Wearing school uniforms results in

positive and negative effects and this is what researchers aim for. The aim of the well-established school

is to increase the rate of security in school, to regulate and discipline students. Numerous schools

embraced school uniforms as a way to add on safety and decreases aberration in schools. In actuality, the

parents of some students have raised questions and disapproves regarding on uniform policy. The

government officials are in favor of freedom for students but they support the uniform policy for students

to be more discipline. Others would wear fancy clothes like tubes, miniskirts and short for women and it

attracts accidents. A school uniform is implemented and has been agreed by majority for it is for the

equality of students because if you wear fancy clothes, it increases the factors of jealousy and competition

on which outfit looks more fancy. Students nowadays do not give importance on wearing school uniform

and following the uniform policy because all they want is to be fashionable, even if wearing fashionable

clothes or civilian is more comfortable for other students than wearing school uniform. That’s why

researchers study this issue in school because they observed that mostly, students don’t give importance

on wearing school uniform. This study aims to know the students perspective about school uniform and to

evaluate if school uniform is an advantage or disadvantage for the students. According to Saunders, the

behavior pattern of students is totally different when uniform system is implemented. He compares it to

night and day. Just like day full of light and glorious sunshine which same as students wearing uniforms,

full of enthusiasm and concentration for academic improvement. Whereas, night represents dark evil and

the same happens when students are without uniform, jealousy, fights, and even killings takes place out of

greed for rich belongings of financially apt students.

1
 Background of the Study

School uniforms are nothing new to most of the world’s public and private schools, but in the

United States, the use of uniforms in public school is almost unheard of the way that students dress may

seem insignificant to the learning environment, but it absolutely plays a large role. There are strong

supporters and arguments for both sides of this issue, but in order to better understand the conflict, you

must understand all of the benefits and consequences that come from implementing a mandatory school

uniform (flowpsychology.com). In many schools around the world, students are required to wear

uniforms; however, other educational institutions do not implement this rule as part of the decision

reached by their boards and the parents. On your end, do you think if wearing school uniform is good?

This has become a subject of some arguments between proponents and critics (Green Garage The Eco

Friendly Bag). We all know that wearing school uniform is strictly monitored by faculty teachers and

principal. Before, they value the essence or importance of wearing school uniform but as the years and

decades goes by, students ignore the importance of uniform. Some students prefer to wear civilian than

wearing uniform because as what the researchers observed, students more likely want to wear fashionable

clothes for them to look fashionable. Nevertheless, some still prefers wearing school uniform as a sign of

dedication to their respective school and an identity for the students to identify which school he/she

belongs. Wearing school uniform is advisable for the students, for them to recognize where are they

studying and wearing school uniform can make a student look more elegant and clean. Researcher

conduct this study about the uniform policy, which is our respondents, were the Grade 11- HUMMS,

STEM and ABM. The researchers observed that most of the students do not give thee uniform

importance. There are effects on wearing school uniform and that is what the researchers want to know by

doing a survey and conclude answers from the respondents. Wearing school uniforms is very important to

the students, it is advisable to the students, and it is under the uniform policy that students should follow it

to be called a student.

2
 Statement of the Problem

The belief that fashionable clothing worn to school by students influences their attitudes and

behavior is the main impetus behind the more strict policies and this includes the school uniforms. The

mandatory uniform dress policy was been implemented since then but the problem is there is no

significant data that had been collected to evaluate its impact on students outcome.

This study aims to know the effects of wearing school uniforms to student’s behavior and the reasons why

wearing school uniform is debatable for the students in Ormoc City Senior High School.

Specifically, the study attempts to answer the following questions:

1. What are the backgrounds of the respondents in terms of:

a. Personality
b. Gender
c. Social status

2. What are the possible effects of wearing school uniforms?

3
 Significance of the Study

It is important to know the different perceptions of each student so that we can get the right

conception of this study.

The study conducted by the researchers long to help for the benefits of the following:

To students –this research will provide evident information for the students who will forget the

importance of wearing uniforms. Some students are not wearing their school uniforms because of the

trendy clothing today. They wear modern outfits instead of wearing school uniform when they go to

school; like there is a competition or a fashion show. Students seem to have forgotten the purpose of

wearing school uniforms.

To school – this research will also contribute or help to the school because it gives the chance

that student’s gives pride and good reputation for the schools where they belong. This also represent the

name of school especially in academic performances/competition it gives more recognition to the school.

To parents – parents will also get benefits through this research and it is good for their children.

Avoiding the absence of the students and if there’s something will happen it is gives immediately respond

and easily to recognize even if the students is not wearing school ID’s, it can be identify by just wearing

uniforms required to their respective schools.

4
 Scope and Delimitation

The main focus of this study is to determine the different reasons of every student why wearing

school uniforms are very important. The participants involved in this study are Humanities and Social

Sciences (HUMSS), Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) and Accountancy and

Business Management (ABM) strands only or the academic track. The aspects looked into the different

respond of students and what they think or the assumptions of why some students hate wearing school

uniforms during school days. It delimits that the study may not be generalizable to other populations,

schools and other students especially the other strands that are not included in the study.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Nowadays, students have forgotten the importance of wearing a school uniforms especially the

purpose why there is school uniform for every schools or university. Many students now are not

interested anymore to wear their uniforms they likely prefer to wear civilians during school days. Unlike,

before even if they have only one paired uniform they find a way to wear it within a week. They seem to

have a competition of wearing modernized outfits when they go to school. Moreover, some students are

not cautious of what they wear; not conservative. They wear denim miniskirts, tattered jeans, off shoulder

top andcrop top tees, which almost sees their stomach. In addition, wearing school uniforms are not

valued anymore.

According to the Wikipedia (2019), a uniform means a set of standard clothing worn by members

of an organization while participating in that organization’s activity. People generally wearing uniforms

are armed forces, police, emergency services, schools and workplaces. Uniform also means to be the

same, and without any difference. With these basic ideas in mind, the concept of having a common dress

came in to picture. If the dress of the members of an organization remains the same then there is a sense

on commonality, which develops amongst them. Moreover, in 2014, Edd Biado ―the greatest advantages

of wearing uniforms that proponents cite are (1) lack of hierarchy, (2) focusing students’ attention to

education and away from ―distractions,‖ like fashion, (3) sense of belonging and promotion of school

spirit, (4) security in uniformity, making outsiders easier to spot, and (5) monetary savings. Because

everyone is wearing the same thing, the line between the rich, the poor is blurred, and the distinction is

not as obvious as when students are free to decide on their own outfits. This, supposedly, discourages the

formation of cliques based on social status and gives the underprivileged more self-confidence as they are

less prone to discrimination and bullying. With the absence of personal style, fashion-reinforced

stereotypes are also out of the equation. Since school uniforms are mostly more formal in appearance than

6
regular street clothing, prescribing them is said to train students to dress appropriately for the academic

setting (which, in turn, prepares them for business dressing)‖.

According to Chloe Spencer (2013), ―a school uniform teaches students to dress smartly and take

pride in their appearance. Howlette says: ―Uniforms help students to prepare for when they leave school

and may have to dress smartly or wear a uniform.‖ Some people believe that a school uniform can

improve learning by reducing distraction, sharpening focus on schoolwork and making the classroom a

more serious environment, allowing students to perform better academically. Perhaps most importantly, a

uniform means students do not have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When

everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like is not so important. There is no

competition about being dressed in the latest trend, which would put a great deal of financial pressure on

students and parents. Potential bullies have one less target for their insults; it is hard to make fun of what

someone is wearing when you are dressed exactly the same‖.

According to a 2005 study, researchers found that an Ohio school that recently implemented a

uniform policy saw an increase in attendance as well as in the total number of graduates for the 2005

school year. There have also been instances of fewer suspensions in schools that require students to wear

uniforms or adhere to a strict dress code. The general belief is that since all students are wearing

uniforms, there are fewer distractions in classrooms of students worrying about what they and others are

wearing. School uniforms also help to boost morale and school spirit since students are wearing their

school colors together. They look more unified, which in turn creates a feeling of community and

cohesiveness while reducing feelings of competition.

In addition, UCLA School of Education says, "I think its great news for all of us who have

advocated school uniforms as a way of building community.‖ A pressing issue, bullying has become a big

problem in many school, and to eliminate this problem, school policies should require students to wear

uniforms. Many people believe that school uniforms build the community into a safer, more positive

7
environment. School uniforms improve school academics, prevent gang violence, and assist families, who

cannot afford expensive clothing. Worrying more about others, rather than themselves, students pay more

attention to the appearance of their peers (MITCHELL, 2016).School uniforms help to eliminate bullying

due to the fact that everyone is dressed the same and children cannot be teased for wearing something

unusual or different. Uniforms can create an environment of equality since students from different

economic backgrounds wear the same clothing, which can reduce bullying of those who may not be able

to afford stylish or expensive clothing. School uniforms allow school intruders to be easily identify,

which is extremely important in a world of school shootings. Similarly, if a student kidnapped or leaves

school at an unauthorized time, they are more easily identifiable to the authorities if they are wearing a

school uniform (2005).

Donohue (1996), states in response to growing levels of violence in schools, teachers, parents,

and school officials have come to see school uniforms as one positive and creative way to reduce

discipline problems and increase safety. They believe that the adoption of school uniform policies can

promote school safety, improve discipline and enhance the learning environment.

In the Washington (District of Columbia) schools, a study of the impact of uniform/dress codes

and practices on school climate, educational attainment, and student affective and cognitive domains was

conducted.

The results of the data indicate the following:

(1) reasons cited for interest in a uniform policy were based on the need to teach students that cloths do

not make a person, financial savings for family, and parent concern that children might participate in an

illicit act to purchase designer clothing;

(2) elementary schools were more likely than secondary schools to be planning to implement a uniform

policy;

(3) parents were usually involved in developing a uniform policy in elementary schools;

8
(4) there was no significant change in the overall attendance or educational attainment after implementing

a policy; and

(5) parents and school staff believe that wearing uniforms has had a positive impact on school climate

(Stevenson 1991).

In fact, ―for the past decade, schools, parents and students have clashed over the issue of

regulating student attire. In 2007, cases involving an anti-Bush T-shirt in Vermont, an anti-gay T-shirt in

San Diego, and Tigger socks in Napa, California, made their way through the courts, causing many to

wonder whether this debate will ever be resolved. Meanwhile, researchers are divided over how much of

an impact — if any — dress policies have upon student learning. A 2004 book makes the case that

uniforms do not improve school safety or academic discipline. A 2005 study, on the other hand, indicates

that in some Ohio high schools uniforms may have improved graduation and attendance rates, although

no improvements were observed in academic performance (WILDE, 2018). Specifically according to a

2005 study, researchers found that an Ohio school that recently implemented a uniform policy saw an

increase in attendance as well as in the total number of graduates for the 2005 school year. There have

also been instances of fewer suspensions in schools that require students to wear uniforms or adhere to a

strict dress code. The general belief is that since all students are wearing uniforms, there are fewer

distractions in classrooms of students worrying about what they and others are wearing. School uniforms

also help to boost morale and school spirit since students are wearing their school colors together. They

look more unified, which in turn creates a feeling of community and cohesiveness while reducing feelings

of competition.

Students who wear a uniform to school spend much less time getting ready in the morning than

students who do not wear uniforms. They don't need to spend time thinking about what to wear or having

to try on several different outfits. This allows some students to get more sleep since they can wake up

later in the morning knowing they do not have to spend as much time getting dressed. They are also more

9
likely to have time to eat a nutritious breakfast before school, which gives them the energy they need to

focus more in class.

School uniforms can also reduce the clothing costs for parents. Students who attend schools

without a uniform policy may be more concerned about wearing stylish or expensive clothing. Parents of

students who attend a school with a uniform policy spend up to $150 less on clothing each year, as stated

by the National Retail Federation. Hence, ―the percentage of public schools that reported they have made

wearing school uniforms in 2003-2004 and 2011-2012 was from 13 to 19%, most of which were public

schools with high poverty levels. The school-sanctioned uniform policy is becoming popular among

districts and schools in the hopes of school administrators that students will have better grades, increased

self-esteem and better behavior. As reviewed by the author of the book The School Uniform Movement

and What It Tells Us About American Education, David Brunsma, there have been negative perceptions

about wearing (2019).

On the other hand National Association of Secondary School Principles stated that ―When all

students are wearing the same outfit, they are less concerned about how they look and now the fit in with

their parent's; thus, they can concentrate on their school work". According to Chris Hammons, Principal

of Woodland Middle School in Coeur d' lene.ID, stated, "Uniforms provide for less distraction, less

drama and more of a focus on learning". Wearing school uniforms often directly contributed to a feeling

of school pride" a study from Oxford Brooke's University in the United Kingdom. Arnold Goldstein,

PhD. head of the center for Research on Aggression at Syracuse University, stated that uniforms help

troubled students feel they have the support of a community. Former US secretary of state and

Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, advocated school uniforms as a way to help students focus on

learning. He stated that "Take that [clothing choices] off the table and put the focus on school, not on

what you're wearing. A peer- reviewed study found that after uniforms were introduce "Teachers

10
perceived an increase in the level of respect, caring and trust throughout the school" and said "students are

made to feel important and as if they are part of a team by wearing a school uniforms.

Consequently, some people argue against students having to wear uniforms because it conflicts

with their rights to self-expression. They believe students should be able to express their personality and

creativity by dressing the way they want. Some parents also feel that having to pay for uniforms conflicts

with their right to send their child to a free public school. They feel that uniforms impose an extra expense

they should not have to incur to provide their child with a free education. They argue school uniforms

actually create a larger target for bullying, as students from other schools easily single out students in

uniforms. Some students may also feel resentment toward their school for making them wear a uniform,

which can cause behavioral problems that would not ordinarily exist in schools where uniforms are not

mandatory (2005).

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Design

In this study, the researchers finds answer and wants to know about the effects of wearing

uniform within the school to the students in HUMSS, ABM, and STEM of Ormoc City Senior High

School (OCSHS) using the help of the case study design. Case study is a research strategy and an

empirical inquiry that investigates a phenomenon within its real-life context (Press Academia). The case

of this study focuses on the perspective of students about uniform policy and is based on an in-depth

investigation of an individual to explore this particular issue in school.

Research Sample

The researchers used the probability sampling a technique in which sample from a larger

population are chosen using a method based on the theory of probability. For a participant to be

considered as a probability sample, he/she must be selected a random selection. Everyone in the

population where the study conducted has an equal chance of being selected (QuestionPro). Under the

categorization of probability sampling the researchers used the cluster sampling is a method to select a

randomly participants to maintain the heterogeneity of the population. The participants selected as

representatives sample of the population as a whole. The researchers selected two sections per strands

with 13 questionnaires. The participants was limited to pick randomly because of some reasons and the

researchers should respect it as part of their authorization.

13
Research Instrument

The research instrument that will be used on gathering data is through survey which is by giving

questionnaires for the chosen students to evaluate and determine the effects on wearing school uniform to

the HUMSS, ABM, and STEM students of Ormoc City Senior High School.

Research Procedures

Data Procedures

The data sources that were used to gather information and to improve the reliability of this case

study. The researchers will be preparing 35 questionnaires and interview 10 different participants in order

to conduct a survey to determine the causes of not wearing schools uniforms and to determine the

possible effects to their everyday performances in class/schools. The researchers want to know what the

pros and cons of not wearing schools uniform. Therefore, researcher decides to conduct it to three strands

in Ormoc City Senior High School, which is HUMSS, STEM, and ABM students in Grade 11 level. The

researchers give questionnaires to random students who also give their different perceptions of wearing a

school. It also involved the profile of the respondents in terms of their gender and personality, the

possible effects of not wearing proper school uniforms, which are mostly; observed in student and the

safety of student in/out in school base on the student perspective.

Research Data Analysis

The researchers will analyze the data by using these following steps:

1. Collecting the Data

The researchers will collect all the questionnaires and different respond of the interviewee of

each strand said to get the needed information.

14
 2. Summarizing the Data

After the researchers collect all the data, he or she will summarize the data in order to reduce;

some of the excessive or unreasonable information that are not much important.

3. Analyzing the Data

After collecting and summarizing the data. The researchers will analyze briefly the data to

derive for a latter result.

Ethical Considerations

The researcher must be considerate and not subjected to insult in any matter for their respondents

that relevant to their secrecy and confidentiality. Complete approval from the respondents proceeding to

the study. Researchers must evade fraud or dishonesty about the goal or objective of the study and any

type of ambiguous information by presenting the use of objective strategies.

15
 CHAPTER IV

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

We consider a sort of dissimilar outcome measures characterizing the effects of wearing school

uniforms to the student’s behavior and reasons why wearing school uniform is debatable for the students

in Ormoc City Senior High School. The data were collected through questionnaire from the academic

track students specifically the STEM, HUMSS and ABM students of Ormoc City Senior High School to

find the effects of wearing school uniforms on the gender and personality of the students and then

interpreted as following;

RESPONDENTS YES NO UNSURE

Female 15 6 4
Male 7 2 1
(Table 1) "Is it compulsory to wear school uniforms"

The results indicate that both 22 students answered YES and the remaining both eight students

are answered NO and the rest are unsure.

Therefore, there are still a lot of students who in favor of wearing school uniform during school

days. Hence, there are some students who don’t like to wear school uniforms.

RESPONDENTS YES NO UNSURE

Female 19 2 1
Male 6 4 3
(Table 2)"Should uniform policy strictly monitored and checked?

Based on the table above the majority answers are in favor of YES than NO and UNSURE.

Therefore, the researchers conclude that school uniforms policy should strictly monitor and

checked every day in order to achieve the orderliness and cleanliness.

16
 RESPONDENTS YES NO UNSURE
Female 22 3 1
Male 8 0 1
(Table 3)"Do you think that school uniform promotes identity and belonging?

The respondents’ majority answers are YES. For that reason, wearing school uniforms can

identify and promotes identity and belonging of individual.

RESPONDENTS YES NO UNSURE

Female 2 21 2
Male 1 7 2
(Table 4)"(Girls) Is it right to wear a miniskirts uniform?”

The results indicate that the majority results of this survey are NO, especially to the female

respondents. The researchers terminate that wearing miniskirt should not allow in the school for them to

be given a high respect or to be respected by others especially to a man.

RESPONDENTS YES NO UNSURE

Female 15 7 3
Male 6 4 0
(Table 5) “Do you think that school uniform minimizes competition over clothing?”

The results indicate that both 21 students are answered YES and the remaining 11 students are answered

NO and the rest are unsure. Therefore, wearing school uniform can lessen the competition in clothing

because school uniforms represents as oneness and no one can be conscious of what they are wearing.

RESPONDENTS YES NO UNSURE

Female 0 20 5
Male 3 6 1
(Table 6)“Is school uniform necessary to be worn during washing days?”

Based on this table, the majority of the students answered NO, and the rest answered unsure. So

the researchers conclude that the majority of the respondents both male and female in OCSHS are agreed

17
that during wash day, schools uniform is not necessary to wear and they prefer to wear civilian during that

day.

RESPONDENTS YES NO UNSURE

Female 9 12 4
Male 7 3 0
(Table 7)“Should students allow entering inside the campus without wearing school uniforms?”

The results indicate that 16 students are answered YES and the both 15 students answered NO

and the remaining 4 are not sure, as a result the conclusion is that the school should be allowed the

student to enter without wearing schools uniforms.

RESPONDENTS YES NO UNSURE

Female 13 6 6
Male 3 6 1
(Table 8) "Do you think wearing civilian during school days can cause an occurrence?”

Based on the table above, the results indicate that both 16 students in OCSHS are answered YES

and 12 of this answered NO and the remaining 7 are unsure. Therefore, some students still think that by

not wearing uniforms are can cause occurrences.

Q9. As a student, what is the importance of school uniform?

In general respond of the participants of what is the importance of wearing school uniform are:

 To promote identity and self-belonging

 To represent or recognize your school

 To look formal, decent and well respected

Thus, wearing school uniforms are still essential and important to students since it has a lot of benefits to

get.

18
 The researchers also conduct an interview that related to the personality, gender and social status

of the participant about the effects of wearing school uniform. Therefore, in this data collection

procedures the researchers oversimplify the respond of the participants for each number that based on

their gender.

HUMSS STEM ABM

1. Students prefer to wear school
uniform because it symbolizes
that they respect the rules and
regulations in the school.
2. To recognize the unity of the
students and it shows that the
students did not disobey the rules
in the school.
3. Fashion style because school
uniform can be bought at once
and can use it for a long time but
for the fashion style you can buy
it anytime you want even if it is
too expensive just for your
fashion.
4. Yes, because if the students
wear proper school uniform it
reminds the responsibilities as a
student that need to do and
follow.
5. Students should wear school
uniforms every day because aside
from it is one of the
responsibilities as a student and
also protects the safety inside and
outside the school.
1. They chose to wear school
uniform in school because as a
student, it looks more presentable
and it recognizes you as a
student.
2.To recognize the school where
you are studying.
3. Fashion style because some of
the clothes are branded.
4. Yes, because it is the sign that
you respect the school policies.
5. Wearing school uniforms
every day, it symbolizes that we
were taught well to our
responsibilities.
1. Some students are preferred to
wear civilian twice a day because
it makes more comfortable.
2. To recognize as a student in
that particular school.
3. Fashion style because some of
it are very expensive especially
when it is branded and it is
needed to buy for their own
fashion style.
4. Yes, wearing school uniform
they feel conscious to their
responsibilities as a student.
5.Student should wear complete
uniform to protect their identities.

As a result, after conducting an interview in academic tracks specifically in HUMSS, STEM

and ABM. Usually they have a preference to wear a school uniform than civilian. Wearing a school

uniforms has a lot of means and responsibilities particularly to students.

19
 CHAPTER V

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

To sum up the information in the study conducted the researchers conclude that wearing school

uniforms is extremely important for the students because there are so many benefits that we can obtain.

Conclusion

To sum up all the information that has been gathered, we conclude that there is consensus on the

overall effect of a school uniform policy. Studies reviewed on school uniform and what is the impact of

this in terms of their social status, gender and personality and it shows that there is a correlation between

them. The literature showed that most students are in favor on wearing school uniform rather than the

fashionable ones. Since most students agreed on it, a uniform policy should be implemented, strictly

monitored and checked by the faculty.

Recommendation

The data revealed that there is a correlation of wearing school uniform to the students in terms of

their personality, social status and gender. Due to the high correlation, it is this author’s opinion that

school uniforms should be given an importance and wears it in proper manner.
