Abstract
This dissertation aimed to discover the human-induced disasters management practices of public secondary schools in Laguna and to identify the significant relationship of knowledge, skills, and attitude of teachers on the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery management practices of schools on human-induced disasters. Due to lack of previous research studies on human-induced disaster management practices, the researcher would like to nullify the hypotheses and proven that there was really a significant relationship among the knowledge, skills, and attitude of the teachers to the mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery management practices of schools. The mixed-method designs which were the descriptive survey, descriptive correlation and thematic analysis were utilized. The qualitative to quantitative or sequential exploratory mixed-method were used to provide different discoveries of this study. The data gathered were treated statistically for quantitative part. Varied statistical tools were applied for the results from the different portions of research instrument. This investigation found that the human-induced extremely happened in public secondary schools of Laguna are theft, health disasters and pollution. Its causes were lack of CCTVs, lack of facilities with regards to health disaster and lack of information for water sanitation. Expressly revealed that there was a significant relationship among the knowledge of teachers to the mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery management practices of schools. The gathered information depended on the provision of the accessible data. It was recommended that the public schools must have enough CCTVs surrounding its jurisdiction and have more job orders that would serve as security guards. There should also be enough facilities that would cater health disasters and pollution victim with a designated teacher that would act as focal person of human-induced disaster management practices with a specified plan for action on different human-induced management practices anchored to disaster management cycle which are mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. It was also recommended that there must be an intensive awareness campaign on the four stages of disaster management cycle with simulations to strengthen and enhance the skills of the teachers so that their attitude towards management practices on human-induced disasters would improve.
