📄 Abstract
Poor social involvement remains a pressing global concern. This study determined the mediating effect of social behavior on the relationship between DepEd core values and social involvement. Using the descriptive-correlational design, specifically mediation analysis, and involving 285 samples selected using a stratified sampling technique. The result showed that the mediator has a significant effect, with 52.56% total mediation. Thus, the Ecological System Theory was affirmed. Replicating this study through other locales and involving different respondents may be done to validate the results. Ultimately, educational institutions may initiate programs that enhance social behavior to improve social involvement among students.
