Abstract :
As societies become increasingly interconnected, there is a growing need to recognize and celebrate the unique identities embedded in local traditions, customs, and artifacts. This study aimed to identify the level of awareness and appreciation of the local cultural heritage of the senior high school students of St. Paul University Surigao. This study applied the quantitative research design employing a descriptive survey technique with 272 participants. The main instrument employed in gathering the necessary data was the researcher-made questionnaire. The gathered data were treated using sample percentage, mean and standard deviation, and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (PPMCC). The results showed that there is a significant relationship between students’ awareness of local history and their appreciation for local cultural heritage in Surigao, and there is a positive correlation. The results of this research may provide fundamental information and a framework for future researchers doing thorough investigations that have similarities to this study.
