Abstract:

Exposure to leadership activities plays a crucial role in enhancing self-efficacy, which is essential for developing effective student leaders. This study assessed the level of exposure and self-efficacy in school leadership among Supreme Student Government (SSG) leaders in the DepEd Bohol Division for the school year 2019-2020. Descriptive-correlational research design was employed to evaluate the relationship between the exposure levels to leadership activities and the self-efficacy of 1,900 student leaders across 100 high schools which were chosen randomly. Two sets of questionnaires, validated by Youth Formation officers, were used to collect data on eight leadership areas: technical aspects, organizing school events, project implementation, policy/program execution, team building, financial management, time management, and mandated SSG programs. Descriptive statistics and Spearman rank correlation were used to analyze the data. The findings revealed a strong positive correlation between leadership exposure and self-efficacy, with the highest correlation in organizing school events and the lowest in time management. The results indicate that increased exposure to leadership tasks significantly boosts students' confidence in their leadership abilities. These insights suggest the need for comprehensive leadership training programs to enhance student leaders' skills and confidence, ultimately promoting better leadership outcomes.
