Abstract

This study aimed to uncover the relationship between the Civic Engagement and Academic Performance of Teacher Education Students at Eastern Samar State University (ESSU) Guiuan Campus focused on the Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) students. A quantitative approach structured around a descriptive correlational design was utilized using an adapted survey questionnaire. The results reveal that BSEd students demonstrate a Moderate Level of Engagement (MLE) in both civic attitudes and behaviors. Mean scores for civic attitudes range from 4.05 to 4.11, with the highest-rated item being “Being informed of community issues†(M = 4.11), indicating that students value civic awareness. Similarly, civic behavior scores range from 4.21 to 4.27, with the most engaged behaviors being helping community members and contributing to charitable organizations (M = 4.27). In terms of academic performance, the General Weighted Average (GWA) is 1.71 (85-89%), which is interpreted as Very Good Academic Performance. Correlation analysis using Spearman’s rho shows a moderate positive relationship between civic attitudes and GWA (Ï = 0.462, p
