The study was conducted in December 2018 at Indang Central Elementary School to
determine the interpretation of the selected elementary students on the signs and symbols
posted inside the school; identify its level of significance; and to distinguish the effectiveness of
signs and symbols in understanding messages.
The participants of the study were 122, six-to-seven-year old, grade one students who
were enrolled at Indang Central Elementary School. The descriptive survey method was used,
particularly survey questionnaires, to gather data from the participants. The
statistical treatment used was frequency counts to ascertain the number of responses of the
participants.
The study concluded that, for the interpretation of the signs and symbols seen inside the
school, majority of the participants gave the correct meaning of each sign and symbol.
But if the used symbols had no literal meaning, participants found them difficult to interpret.
For the significance of signs and symbols as school's communication tool, it can be
concluded that the purposes of signs and symbols were highly significant to participants
especially those signs which do not need texts but can easily be understood; the signs and
symbols which helped them to know the directions of places; and the signs and symbols that
conveyed dos and donts.
In terms of the signs and symbols' effectiveness, a particular sign or symbol would be
effective if the pictures or symbols used are familiar to children. However, majority of the
participants found the signs and symbols to be highly effective.Thus, the understanding of the
participants on particular signs and symbols was associated to the effectiveness of this as
communication tool. At the same time, the participants' interpretation was related to its
significance which answered the purposes of the signs and symbols that were presented
