Intercultural Awareness, Language Learning Autonomy, Learning Experiences: A Structural Equation Modeling Study on Sociolinguistic Competence
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 28, Issue 4
Abstract
The goal of this study is to determine the best model for sociolinguistic competency in the Filipino language in Region XI public schools. A combination of descriptive, correlational, and casual comparative designs were employed in the study, and 400 respondents were selected through stratified random sampling using four questionnaires as the research tool. The study made use of a number of statistical methods, including multiple regression, Pearson product moment correlation, semantic equation modeling, and mean and standard deviation. The study found that, in contrast to the high degree of language learning autonomy, the level of intercultural awareness, learning experience, and sociolinguistic competence reached a moderate level. Additionally, there was a strong correlation between sociolinguistic competency and learning experience, intercultural awareness and sociolinguistic competence, and language learning autonomy and sociolinguistic competence. Because all of the indices that satisfied the established criteria were quite acceptable in comparison to the value of the most appropriate model, the study also found that the third model created was appropriate for sociolinguistic competency. Overall, the study's findings showed low levels of intercultural awareness, sociolinguistic competence, and language learning autonomy; this suggests that relationships related to society, culture, and language haven't received much attention and significance thus far. In order to raise awareness among students and knowledge advocates about the relationship between society, language, and culture that functioned as a pathway for everyone, the researchers strongly recommend that the research be carried out in the future.
