EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study aimed to determine the relationship of social relations on the self-efficacy of the hearing impaired individuals. This study was conducted during the first semester of school year 2015-2016. The subjects of the study were fifty (50) students in five different schools at the town of Rizal. This study used purposive sampling technique having ten (10) hearing impaired students per schools namely: Maybancal Elementary School, Morong National High School, Binangonan Elementary School, Tayuman Elementary School and Ilaya Elementary School with no age barrier. Descriptive type of research was used, specifically, the utilization of the researcher's made questionnaire on social relations and adoptive self-efficacy scale as the main instrument in gathering data. The data gathered were tabulated and interpreted. Mean was used as statistical treatments to determine the relationship of social relations on the self-efficacy of hearing impaired individuals, computed r-value was used to determine the significant relationship of social relation on the self-efficacy of hearing impaired individuals. All the respondents focused to answer the questionnaire given by the researchers, while the researchers observed the behavior of their respondents. On the basis of the foregoing findings; on the extent of social relations of hearing impaired individuals in terms of neighbor the verbal interpretation was "sometimes". On the other hand, the level of self-efficacy, the respondents fall on the "average" level. The finding reveals that there is no significant relationship between social relations to self-efficacy of hearing impaired. Therefore, the null hypothesis was accepted and the verbal interpretation was found not significant. Based on the summary of findings presented, it is concluded that, people with hearing impairment have difficulty in various way of communicating with others but it doesn't have any significant relationship with their self-efficacy because self-efficacy comes from experiences and beliefs. The study recommended that parallel studies must be conducted considering other variables which will affect the exceptional children. The Department of Education must provide more quality and functional facility to the student that can help and improve their own ability. SPED teachers should continually be provided by trainings and seminars to upgrade their knowledge on teaching students with disability. Parallel studies must be conducted considering other variables which will affect the exceptional children specifically hearing impaired. Also, the different educational institution should provide activities that will enhance the self-efficacy of students with disability. Lastly, DSWD must conduct program, seminars and training on increasing not only the level of self-efficacy also the self-worth and self-esteem of all people with disability specifically hearing impaired.
