Abstract Reinforcement behavior strategy can be used to teach new skills and ensure appropriate behavior. It is one of many effective classroom strategies that shows positive impact on learning and behavior. This study was conducted with a primary purpose of identifying the level of reinforcement behavior strategy and academic performance of Alternative Learning System (ALS) Junior High learners in the Municipality of Tagoloan for the School Year 2024-2025. Specifically, this study aims to determine: the respondents’ characteristics; their level of reinforcement behavior strategy; their academic performance during the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Quarters; the significant difference on reinforcement behavior strategy and academic performance when grouped according to their characteristics; and, the significant relationship between the reinforcement behavior strategy and academic performance. Data were validated using a modified research questions and utilized a descriptive research method. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation was employed, while person r was employed to determine the relationship between reinforcement behavior strategy and academic performance among ALS learners.
The findings revealed a significant improvement in academic performance, from "Fairly Satisfactory" in the first and second quarter to “Satisfactory” in the third quarter. Additionally, it was also revealed that there was no significant difference between reinforcement behavior strategy and their characteristics and there was no significant difference on the academic performance and their characteristics. The findings also revealed that there was a significant relationship between reinforcement behavior strategy and learners' academic performance. This underscores the need for ALS educators to undergo specialized training to effectively implement reinforcement strategies tailored to learners’ needs, as these strategies enhance engagement and performances. Additionally, policymakers should develop comprehensive guidelines to further improve learner engagement and motivation in ALS programs, ensuring a more structured and effective learning environment.
