Expressive Skill Level of Selected Tutees of CIT University

Abstract

To be recognized and appreciated are fundamental human needs leading to the fulfillment of a person's desire for significance, a belief that one's life has meaning and importance. When a person's idea or work is appreciated, this can lead to a lasting feeling of fulfillment and a greater discovery of one's self. However, if a person, beginning from his/her childhood, has learned to suppress sharing his/her emotions, then self-expression can become more restricted and difficult in the later years. The purpose of this study therefore is to compare the expressive skill levels of boys and girls who had a free tutorial service sponsored by the Elementary and High School Departments of CIT University, Cebu City. Specifically, it aims to assess the expressive skill level of the pupils; identify factors that inhibit and reinforce the development of their expressive skills; and determine if there is a significant difference between the boys
