ABSTRACT

This study aimed to determine the level of knowledge on life-saving techniques and level of awareness on the basic principles of life-saving among the BSMT (Bachelor of Science in Marine Transportation) students of John B. Lacson Foundation Maritime University (Arevalo), Inc. It was conducted during the second semester of school year 2019-2020 among the 290 BSMT 2 students chosen through cluster random sampling. The instrument used was a researcher-made questionnaire duly validated by a panel of jurors. It had underwent reliability testing with an obtained value of 0.97. The descriptive statistics used were mean and standard deviation while the inferential statistics utilized the One-way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and Scheffe. The results of the study revealed that when taken as an entire group, the level of knowledge on various life-saving techniques among the second year BSMT students was “Very High” implying that the students were exceedingly knowledgeable about various life-saving techniques. Moreover, the level of awareness about the basic principles of life-saving was “High” suggesting that students were aware of the basic principles to be observed in life-saving. However, significant differences were noted in the knowledge as well as in the awareness among the second year students when classified according to sections. The Scheffe results indicated that Polaris 2A, Polaris 2B, and Bellatrix showed significantly higher mean scores in both knowledge and awareness compared with other sections. The findings of the study suggest that generally, the second year BSMT students have acquired the necessary knowledge and information regarding various life-saving techniques and are familiar with the procedures and precautionary measures to follow during water rescue because of the thorough instruction in PE (physical education). It is recommended that the school may continue improving, innovating and providing quality education to its students with the use of Instructional Guide in PE.
