| Summary: | This investigation identified the motivators and
benefits of education and how these variables are
related.Conducted in October 2001, the cultural
communities in Panay were selected through cluster
sampling.This descriptive research utilized a
validated researcher-made data-gathering instrument. Means, standard deviations, ranks, the
t-test for independence, the One-Way ANOVA, and
the Pearson’s were employed set at .05. Results
revealed that the most predominant motivators of
education were: “education is a vital ingredient for success”; to provide better food for the family”; and, “ to prove that the community group is also educable”.The most predominant benefits they derived from education were: “feeling more secure in life”; “the family now eats food appropriate for good nutrition”; and, “having gained more friends”.The participants differed in their motivators of education when grouped according to gender, age, ethnic group, and education and in their felt benefits from education when classified according to ethnic group and education.The participants’ motivation to pursue and felt benefits derived from education were positively and significantly correlated. |
