INTRODUCTION
This study aims to determine the behavioral and organizational techniques and academic performance of Grade VI learners of East City Central School, Division of Cagayan de Oro City. Also, this study aims to ascertain the learners' academic performance for the first and second quarters. Student behavior in the classroom is one of the current issue’s teachers are dealing with worldwide. The student's actions frequently produce a classroom atmosphere unsuitable for learning. Not only in the Philippines but also abroad, teachers need help to control their students' conduct while delivering the required curriculum.
Nowadays, student behavior in the classroom takes many forms depending on the social and cultural environment in which the schools are located. Along the same line, millennial learners' learning styles in the 21st century are as follows: they have a shorter attention span; they favor interactive, experiential, and collaborative learning; are adept at multitasking, seek rapid gratification, and enjoy social and exciting surroundings; Millennials want less formal learning environments where they can communicate informally with the instructor or professor and one another.
This research is based on eminent psychologists' and authorities' theories, conclusions, and concepts. It is based on “behaviorism theory,” also known as behavioral psychology, which is a theory of learning based on the idea that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. In an educational context, academic performance is the educational goal to be achieved by a student, teacher, or institution over a certain period. Examinations or continuous assessments measure it, and the plan may differ from one individual or institution to another.
