Statement of the Problem

The purpose of the study was to find out the impact of mothers- at-work and stay-at-home mothers with their children’s attitudes towards family and learning. It also looked for a program that would help in further strengthening the love of their children towards their mother.
Specifically, the study sought to answer the following:
1.Determine the profile of the respondents with regards to: a. mother – at - work b. stay – at - home
2.Determine the scores of attitudes of the respondents in terms of: a. family b. learning
3.Find the significant difference between the profile and attitudes of the respondents.
4.Develop a proposed program to be used as intervention based on the results of the study.

METHODOLOGY

Research Design This study used a descriptive survey method that utilized an attitude scale to determine the impact on the typical attitudes of the grades four to six students in their family and learning if the mothers are at work or at home and also to explain the relationship of attitudes of the intermediate pupils between the variables gender and grade level.
Sample and Sampling Procedure There were one hundred eighty-nine (189) students from grade four to grade six levels respondents currently enrolled at Southeastern College for the school year 2010-2011. There were sixty-four (64) students both in grades four and six levels and sixty-one (61) for grade five. The research had one hundred (100) male and eighty-nine (89) female respondents. The students were purposively chosen as respondents of the study.
Instrumentation
The instrument used was made by the researcher which composed of statements both for mothers– at - work and stay – at – home mothers. The researcher had preliminary survey with the respondents to be used in the final questionnaire. This questionnaire was validated by experts to ensure the appropriateness of each statement to the respondents.
Data Analysis To show the concrete results of the data that was gathered, the following statistical tools were used for the study: Weighted mean was used to determine the scores of attitudes on the different variables and its totality towards family and learning of both mother - at - work and stay - at - home mothers.
The two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significant difference between the profile and attitudes of the respondents.

Summary of Findings The following information gave the findings of this study based on the data gathered and analyzed.
1. From the total population of mothers of the respondents, there were one hundred thirty-two (132) mothers – at – work while stay – at – home mothers were fifty-one (51). The results showed that there were more mothers – at – work than stay – at – home mothers in grades four to six levels. The number of stay – at – home mothers in all levels was very small. It showed an eighty –one (81) big difference in the values between mother – at – work than in stay – at – home mothers which.
2. All mean scores of mothers – at – work were higher than stay – at – home mothers. The total mean score for mothers– at – work in family was 3.76 while stay – at – home mothers was 3.58. For learning, stay – at – home mothers had only 3.52 compared to mother – at – work which got 3.63. The highest computed mean was 3.81 both for the security and independence subvariables. The lowest computed mean of 3. 43 was for socialization. All scores fell under “agree” interpretation that indicated a positive outlook towards their mothers whether at - work or at - home. 2.1 The 3.77 mean score for mothers – at – work of grade four level students was the highest value in all levels while the same grade level had the lowest value of 3.55 in stay – at – home mothers. Grade five level with 4.01 reached the largest value. 2.2. The grade five level with 4.10 score had the greatest number in learning for mothers – at – work while the least value was achieved by grade six with 3.63. However, grade six level obtained the highest value of 3.86 in stay – at – home mothers. 2.3 The boys had higher mean score value of 3.84 than girls with 3.69 in attitudes toward family for mothers – at – work whereas girls had the greater value of 3.85 in stay – at – home mothers compared with boys with 3.80. 2.4 The girls showed higher mean score value of 3.85 in mothers – at – work and 3.76 in stay – at – home mothers in attitudes towards learning where boys had only 3.79 for mothers – at – work and 3.73 for stay – at – home mothers.
3. There was no significant difference between the attitudes of the respondents towards family and learning. 3.1 There was no significant effect of sex on the attitudes of the respondents towards family and learning. 3.2 There was no significant effect of grade level on the attitudes of the respondents towards family and learning. 3.3 There was no interaction effect of grade level on attitudes of the respondents towards family and learning.

Conclusions Based on the findings, the following conclusions are drawn:
1. There are more mothers – at – work than stay – at – home mothers in the mothers of the respondents.
2. Even if most of the mothers are working in the study, it shows that they are really accepted by their children. Based on the result, they understand the situation of the family whether the mother has a plenty of work at home and most especially if she also earns for a living. The respondents show the love and understanding that they can offer to their mothers despite of their busy schedule both in the workplace and at home.
3. The mothers – at – work and stay – at – home mothers have an impact in the attitudes towards family and learning of the students. Based on the respondents own experiences, they were able to answer the questionnaire freely and sincerely.
4. The SOME (Strengthening Oneself through Mother’s Enduring) Love Program concentrates on the indicators which show negative impact towards mothers – at – work and stay – at – home mothers. This is a tool to appreciate more mother’s work and love for the family and help their mothers as well in their own little way in attending to their needs as a child.

Recommendations The following recommendations are hereby suggested in the light of the foregoing findings and conclusions:
1.The proposed activities and lessons in the SOME (Strengthening Oneself through Mother’s Enduring) Love Program may be used by the guidance counselors or teachers to help the students appreciate more the role of a mother and attend to their needs as children in their own little way.
2. Teachers should be provided with seminars wherein topics are based on the results that show negative impact towards mother whether working or not. This would help them deal with the problems of the children at home especially towards their mother.
3. The researcher should provide seminars for the mothers to help them deal better with concerns of their children. This can build closer relationship between mothers and their children. A good partnership between school and home is necessary to help a sound development of the students.
4. Studies can also be conducted using the following:
a. The impact of mothers – at – work and stay – at – home mothers in the attitudes of high school students towards family and learning.
b. The impact of working and non-working fathers in the attitudes of intermediate students towards family and learning.
c. The correlation of mothers and intermediate students on the impact of mothers – at – work and stay – at – homes mother towards family and learning.
d. The validation of SOME Love program.

...Abuse of Filipino Childr en Filipino families consider children as gifts from God (Bulatao 1975). They are persons who inspire love and affection and bring happiness and security in the twilight years of parents. Interestingly, children are seen as links to immortality because children pass on from one generation to another the family’s name, history, and heritage. Often, children are portrayed as being nurtured and properly attended to in their homes; however, Filipino children are not as secure and protected as they are ideally portrayed. The increasing number of street children who work on the streets or beg for alms from pedestrians and motorists belie such an idealized portrayal. Street children, among other things, are the most palpable reminder that all is not well with Filipino children. Reality reveals the many children who are denied even the most minimum of needs like food, love, nurturance, stability, security, and stimulating learning environment that will allow for their healthy development. Many Filipino children are rushed into maturity because early on in their lives, they are forced to contend with difficult problems and to take on adult roles and responsibilities. Media and popular and academic literature, more than any other time, has brought to our attention the plight of children, be they street children or not, who perform adult roles and who are in need of the basic components of a healthy family life. 2 Bautista, Roldan & Garces-Bacsal ...

...1856 in Freiberg to a middle class family. He was born as the eldest child to his father’s second wife. When Freud was four years old, his family shifted and settled in Vienna. Although Freud’s ambition from childhood was a career in law, he decided to enter the field of medicine. In 1873, at the age of seventeen, Freud enrolled in the university as a medical student. During his days in the university, he did his research on the Central Nervous System under the guidance of German physician `Ernst Wilhelm Von Brucke’. Freud received his medical degree in 1881and later in 1883 he began to work in Vienna General Hospital. Freud spent three years working in various departments of the hospital and in 1885 he left his post at the hospital to join the University of Vienna as a lecturer in Neuropathology. Following his appointment as a lecturer, he got the opportunity to work under French neurologist Jean Charcot at Salpetriere, the famous Paris hospital for nervous diseases. So far Freud’s work had been entirely concentrated on physical sciences but Charcot’s work, at that time, concentrated more on hysteria and hypnotism. Freud’s studies under Charcot, which centered largely on hysteria, influenced him greatly in channelising his interests to psychopathology. In 1886, Freud established his private practice in Vienna specializing in nervous diseases and soon afterwards got to his fiancée Martha Bernays, who came from a well-known Jewish family in Hamburg. In 1888, Freud started...

Introduction to Psychology

...TPS 101: INTRODUCTION TO PSYCHOLOGY TPS 101 serves as the beginning course in psychology; as such, it is broad in scope. The course will introduce students to the history of psychology, and current paradigms and theories. We will cover neuroscience, sensation, perception, memory, and language, stress and health psychology, personality and social psychology, intelligence, and developmental psychology. Because of time limitations, none of these topics can be covered in great depth. The reference textbooks and the material presented in class will serve as the primary sources for the material to be covered. INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF PSYCHOLOGY Psychology is the scientific study of behaviour and mental processes. It is an academic and applied discipline involving the scientific study of mental processes and behaviour. Psychology also refers to the application of such knowledge to various spheres of human activity, including problems of individuals' daily lives and the treatment of mental illness. It is largely concerned with humans, although the behaviour and mental processes of animals can also be part of psychology research, either as a subject in its own right (e.g. animal cognition and ethnology), or somewhat more controversially, as a way of gaining an insight into human psychology by means of comparison (including comparative psychology). Origins of the psychology Near the end of 19th century things started drawing together. Questions raised by philosophers were being...

...to master the words on the High-Frequency and Hot Prospects Word Lists. First, check off those words you think you know. Then, look up all the words and their definitions in our 3,500 Basic Word List. Pay particular attention to the words you thought you knew. See whether any of them are defined in an unexpected way. If they are, make a special note of them. As you know from the preceding chapters, SAT often stumps students with questions based on unfamiliar meanings of familiar-looking words. Use the flash cards in the back of this book and create others for the words you want to master. Work up memory tricks to help yourself remember them. Try using them on your parents and friends. Not only will going over these high-frequency words reassure you that you do know some SAT-type words, but also it may well help you on the actual day of the test. These words have turned up on recent tests; some of them may well turn up on the test you take. The more you study actual SAT critical reading questions, the more you realize one thing: the key to doing well on the critical reading portions of SAT is a strong working vocabulary of college-level words....

Idioms and Expression

...Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thailand, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn common, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscommunication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to assist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used...

...writing. Jean Kerr, author of Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, admits that she often finds herself in the kitchen reading soup-can labels—or anything—in order to prolong the moments before taking pen in hand. John C. Calhoun, vice president under Andrew Jackson, insisted he had to plow his fields before he could write, and Joseph Conrad, author of Lord Jim and other novels, is said to have cried on occasion from the sheer dread of sitting down to compose his stories. To spare you as much hand-wringing as possible, this chapter presents some practical suggestions on how to begin writing your short essay. Although all writers must find the methods that work best for them, you may find some of the following ideas helpful. But no matter how you actually begin putting words on paper, it is absolutely essential to maintain two basic ideas concerning your writing task. Before you write a single sentence, you should always remind yourself that 1. You have some valuable ideas to tell your reader, and 2. More than anything, you want to communicate those ideas to your reader. These reminders may seem obvious to you, but without a solid commitment to your own opinions as well as to your reader, your prose will be lifeless and boring. If you don’t care about your subject, you can’t very well expect anyone else to. Have confidence that your ideas are worthwhile and that your reader genuinely...
