Abstract:
Education highlighted the importance of socio-emotional attributes, well-being, and academic performance among students during the pandemic. This study examined the socio-emotional attributes, well-being, and academic performance of Senior High School Indigenous People (IP) students at Luyungan High School in Bangcud, Malaybalay City, during the academic year 2021-2022. Using a purposive sampling technique, all 20 enrolled IP students were surveyed through standardized questionnaires adapted from Gehlbach (2015) and PISA (2018). Academic performance data based on DepEd Order No. 031, s.2020, were also collected. The results revealed that students demonstrated confidence in distant learning. They demonstrated respect for others' achievements, empathy for their peers' feelings, and assurance in handling complex tasks. Generally, their well-being was healthy across clinical outcomes, mental well-being, self-regulation, and resiliency, indicating effective coping strategies during challenging times. Academic performance was rated "proficient," showing that students had mastered essential knowledge and skills and could apply them to real-world tasks. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between academic performance and socio-emotional attributes or well-being. These findings highlight the resilience and ability of IP students to thrive in remote learning while maintaining positive socio-emotional and academic outcomes.
