Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the level of awareness on hidden curriculum among the selected first year college students in a Philippine State University. Findings showed that as to the profile of the respondents, in terms of age, there are 180 or 90% who are 17-21 years of age, 14 or 7% who are 22-26 years old and six or 3% who are 30-47 years old. As to sex, there are 92 or 46% male and 108 or 54% female. As to the level of awareness on hidden curriculum among the 1st year students, the over-all response of the respondents toward the relationship of the teachers with the students is agree (3.89). As to relation among the teachers and among staff, among students and students with staff, the over-all response is agree (4.04). As to relation to quality of teaching in terms of hidden curriculum in the college, the over-all response is agree (4.01). In terms of relation to perceptions of the students' regarding teachers as role model, the over-all response is agree (4.25). In terms of sex, the significant value .085 is greater than 0.05, hence, there is no significant difference between sex and hidden curriculum. In terms of age, the significant value 0.120 is higher than 0.01 and 0.05 level of significance, thus, there is no significant difference on the perception of the respondents toward hidden curriculum in terms of age bracket. The following conclusion are advanced; the results of the study shows that students AGREE on the indicators included in the statements such as the relationship of the teachers with the students, relationship among the teachers and among staffs, among students and students with staff, quality of teaching in terms of hidden curriculum in the college, and perceptions of the students regarding teachers as a role model. Consequently, this shows that the students show a positive perception on the hidden curriculum through their interaction with their teachers’ fellow students, and staff of their respective colleges. The respondent's sex and age does not contribute to their perception on the hidden curriculum at the university.
