respondents through interviews, observation, and set of

questions to be answered by them in a research questionnaire and

relating them to existing related literatures with different

set-up. The process consists of transcribing responses of the

respondents from the questionnaires. Statistical treatment of

data through different tools such as computation of weighted

mean, percentage, frequency count, rank will also be utilized.

These research will also consist of revalidation to confirm the

reliability of respondents’ responses.

 The output consists of the expected outcome of the study

which is explaining the effect of/and impact of awards and

recognition to the SHS learners.

P= percentage

F= frequency

N= total number of respondents

Percentage will be computed by getting the quotient of frequency

of responses (F) over the total number of research participants

(N) then multiplied to one hundred (100)

Local Literature

According to research Recognizing and rewarding

the achievements of students is not a new idea for

decades, elementary teachers have handed out gold

stars, high schools have placed students on honor

rolls, and universities have published dean’s lists to

honor the accomplishment of students. For highly

talented and motivated individuals, opportunities to

pursue skills and interest outside of the formal

educational curriculum have typically involved in a

component of competition as well, such as science fairs

and essay contest. This award recognizes students under

the age of 18 who have completed a significant piece of

work that has the potential to make a positive

contribution to society in one of the following areas:

science, technology, mathematics, music, literature,

philosophy, or any other graduate-level work. (Davidson
