Students’ Awareness and Acceptance of the VMGOs at the College of Criminal Justice Education, Isabela State University – Roxas Campus

This study aimed to assess the level of awareness, understanding, and acceptance of the Isabela State University’s Vision, Mission, and the College of Criminal Justice Education (CCJE) Goals and Objectives at Isabela State University – Roxas Campus, among its student body. A cross-sectional survey employing a structured questionnaire was utilized to collect data from 321 students representing different academic years and programs of the college. The survey instrument comprised four sections focusing on participant profiles, awareness and understanding of VMGOs, awareness of VMGOs dissemination, and acceptance of VMGOs. The findings indicate a high level of awareness and understanding of the VMGOs among the students, with around 4 in every 5 respondents demonstrating awareness of the university vision and mission, and a comparable number registering a great understanding of the VMGOs. Additionally, students showed a strong acceptance of the university’s vision, mission, goals, and objectives. The study underscores the effectiveness of current VMGOs communication strategies and their resonance with the student community, forming the foundation for a cohesive educational environment aligned with institutional objectives. To further enhance VMGOs integration for students indicating lower awareness and understanding, tailored workshops and intensified communication efforts are recommended. Interactive peer sessions, faculty mentorship programs, and a targeted feedback mechanism are suggested to bridge understanding gaps and foster greater acceptance. These recommendations aim to ensure that every student comprehensively grasps and aligns with the institutional guiding principles, promoting a harmonious educational experience at CCJE.
