Abstract:
All SK Officials are mandated by the SK Reform Act and ordered by the
Department of Interior and Local Government to undergo the SK Mandatory Training. This study is intended to assess the effectiveness of the
SK Mandatory Training as conducted in selected barangays of Cebu
City. It aims to check the extent of the variables. The method utilized in
this study was the descriptive correlational design. Survey Questions
were drawn from the five training modules, viz.: Decentralization and
Local Governance, SK History, Meetings and Resolutions, Planning and
Budgeting, Code of Conduct, and Ethical Standards. There were 160 respondents; 124 SK Councilors and 36 SK Chairpersons from different
barangays of Cebu City. Based on Pearson product-moment correlation,
it was revealed that there is a strong, positive correlation between
knowledge and demonstration. It was also shown by the results that;
SK Officials were very knowledgeable with a grand mean of 3.58 and
have highly demonstrated a grand mean of 3.57. Therefore, the researchers concluded that the SK Mandatory Training conducted for the
SK Officials of Cebu City was effective.
