Abstract:

Student organizations become one of the avenues that put the educational philosophy and institutional goal of the school into practice. This study assessed the impact of student organizations of the Lyceum of the Philippines - Laguna CITHM in terms of activities, events, and seminars and determined how they contributed to student development that is in line with the institutional core values. Participants of the study were fourth-year CITHM students of academic year 2018-2019 totaling to 299 students. The research used the descriptive survey method with the use of a self-made questionnaire. To test the reliability and validity of the self-made questionnaire, the researchers used the Cronbach Alpha test scoring 0.950 which is interpreted as excellent. The data was treated using weighted mean, frequency and percentage, and Kruskal Wallis test. Results revealed that the respondents felt the impact or influence of student organization activities of CITHM in terms of their development in line with the institutional core values. This is as reflected on their responses to the survey that had been administered to them. The researchers recommended activities that would further help in the development of the least focused activities that are aligned with the institutional core values.
