Abstract This study attempted to develop a causal model on students’ productivity in the implementation of community outreach program in San Agustin Institute of Technology. Specifically, this study aimed to: assess the level of implementation of San Agustin Institute of Technology Community Outreach Program; identify the attitudes of the San Agustin Institute of Technology students towards community outreach program; ascertain the level of students productivity of San Agustin Institute of Technology in terms of: knowledge and skills; determine the problems encountered on the implementation of San Agustin Institute of Technology Community Outreach Program; correlate students’ productivity and the following: a. extent of implementation, b. attitude of students towards community outreach program, and c. problems encountered on the implementation of community outreach program; identify the variables that best predict students’ productivity; and develop a causal model that best fits students’ productivity.
A self-made questionnaire and an international study-based questionnaire was adopted to determine the attitude of the students towards community outreach program. Additional structured interview questionnaire was also considered. Descriptive statistics was used for the summary and analysis of the data including frequencies, percentage, means, and standard deviations. In addition, Weighted Mean was used to answer the first, second, third, and fourth objectives of the study, Pearson r coefficient correlation was used to correlate the fifth objective, Stepwise Regression Analysis was used for sixth objective, and lastly, it used path analysis, for studying patterns of causation.
There is a positive attitude from the students towards community outreach program, there is a high productivity in terms of the level of students’ productivity in both knowledge and skills, sometimes there are problems encountered by the students in the implementation of community outreach program. Extent of implementation, and attitude of students towards community outreach program was found out to have significant relationship with the students’ productivity.
Study further revealed that cleanliness and beautification, frequency of use, and attitude of the students towards community outreach program are the variables that best predict students’ productivity.
Moreover, causal model 2 qualified as the best model based on the different test for goodness-of-fit used in this study.
