Abstract

This study examined the levels of self-regulation behavior and cultural competence among Grade 6 learners in San Fernando II District, Bukidnon, and explored the relationship between these variables. Employing a descriptive-correlational design, the research involved 199 Grade 6 learners selected through simple random sampling. Data collection used a two-part instrument adapted from Toering et al. (2012) and Fenech, Baguant, and Abdelwahed (2020), measuring self-regulation dimensions (self-planning, self-monitoring, self-instruction, self-evaluation, and self-reaction) and cultural competence on a 5-point Likert scale. Mean scores and standard deviations assessed variable levels, while Pearson correlation tested relationships.
