Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the correlation of social skills and level of academic engagement of Radiologic Technology students of De La Salle Medical and Health Sciences Institute. This study used a correlational research design. The statistical treatment used for data analysis are frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Mann-Whitney U test, and Spearman’s Rank-Order Correlation. Most of the respondents are female, from the first-year level, regular students, and not members of any organization. The respondents’ overall social skills are interpreted as moderately high. The respondents interpreted each of the sub-dimensions: undecided in social cohesion, moderately high in self-control, undecided in verbal communication, moderately high in cooperation, moderately high in participation, moderately high in nonverbal communication, and undecided in conflict. The academic engagement of the respondents is interpreted as moderate in behavioral components, moderately high in affective components, and moderately high in cognitive components. The social skills of the respondents do not significantly differ in terms of sex and year level. However, significant differences in social skills are seen in respondents who are regular students and members of an organization than those who are irregular students and not members of an organization. The academic engagement of the respondents does not significantly differ in terms of sex, year level, and student status. However, respondents who are members of an organization have a significant difference in academic engagement than those who are not. There is a significant relationship between the social skills and academic engagement of the respondents.
