THE PROBLEM AND REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Background of the Study

School is the place where students’ mainstreams are

developed. Their performance is highly perceived to

determine their standing in class. Their position is

verified through various school activities.

Assignments and projects are two of the most

significant requirements in school. Both of which, if not

complied perfectly, can affect the students’ grade a

great deal. The amenability of these musts depends on the

approach of students towards it.

Different factors that are thought to influence

student’s compliance of school requirements have been

noted. It has been observed that some cases of point are

a student’s socio-demographic profile, attitude, health,

resource, time management, and environment.

The socio- demographic profile is the students

gender, age, marital status and educational background.

It has been thought that these contribute to the behavior

 2

of students towards the requirements. Their attitude

affects submission greatly, too, depending if he or she

is hardworking or lazy, independent or dependent, careful

or careless and so on. Their health is also a major

factor for a student’s physical, mental, social and

emotional condition causes alterations of a learner’s

responsiveness to school obligations. A student’s source

of homework is also a concern in a student’s evaluation

depending on its quality and accuracy. The quantity of

resources also contributes to their compliance whether a

student is abundant or absent with them. How a student

manages his or her time also shapes his or her compliance

of requirements. Environment can also affect the

conformity of school requirements.

These factors will be used in conducting a survey

about the factors affecting students’ performance in

compliance to school requirements. Through this, problems

and approach of students towards school requirements will

be determined. This may help their family and teachers

understand their situation better.

Review of Related Literature

A student, by definition is a person engaged in a

course of study especially in a learning institution

(Webster Dictionary, 2005). A school is where a person’s

knowledge and thinking is formed. The progress of a

student’s learning is tracked by teachers through

different outputs from the students. These outputs are

graded by teachers and a student’s performance is

reflected on his or her grades. School requirements like

assignments and projects are outputs which greatly

affects grades of students. Different factors affect a

students compliance to school requirements. These include

socio-economic, psychological and environmental factors

(Hansen, J.B., 2000). Other factors include students ,

available resources, a students attitude towards

fulfilling requirements and how a student’s health,

available resources, a students attitude towards

fulfilling requirements and how a student manages his or

her time.
 4

Attitude Factor

A student’s performance is affected by his or her

attitudes toward school requirements. An attitude is a

hypothetical construct that represents an individuals

degree of like or dislike for an item. It is a tendency

to act toward or against some environmental a positive or

negative value (Bogardus, 1965). Different definitions of

“attitude” exists but researchers would agree that

“attitude” can be best described as “a learned

predisposition to respond in a consistently favorable or

unfavorable manner with respect to a given object”

(Fishbein and Ajzen,1975).

Attitudes of students affect how they perform and

comply school requirements. According to Christopher, G.

(1998) if children have positive attitudes and look

forward to attending, it stands to reason they will do

better in class.

Health Factor

The health of a student can also affect a student’s

performance. Health care providers often advise parents

and teachers that children can learn optimal levels only

 5

if they are healthy (Taras,H.,2006). It has been found

that health affect performance in various ways poor sleep

for example, results to poor grades. According to Taras,

poor sleep was among the most unexpected and definitive

cause of poor academics. Other health factors include

exercise, chronic health problems,proper intake of meals.

Available Resources

A resource is only a physical or virtual entity of

limited availability or anything used to help one earn a

living. Resources of the students in their study really

affects their performance in school ( Osborne,

1998).Simple things like open computer labs for students

who cannot afford their own computer, financial services

and advice counseling, proper academic advising and other

tools. Availability of reference books such as sets of

encyclopedias, magazines, articles, thesaurus, atlas,

maps, novels and dictionaries at home are highly needed

by students in copying up their studies, assignments and

projects in school. Internet services are also of great

help in different research works.

 6

Environmental Factors

Environmental factors are factors outside of the

classroom that affect performance inside the classroom.

According to Syed Tahir Hijaziand Raza Nagriz (2009),

environmental factors have the greatest potential impact

on students’ assessment and performance, and on that we

sometimes tend to overlook. The learner’s environment,

their life is what is going to impact the most on

student’s learning experience. Family characteristics are

a major source of disparity in students’ education

outcomes. Better- educated parents can contribute to

their children’s learning through day-to-day interactions

with their children and involve themselves in their

children’s work. Parent also have higher aspirations and

expectations for their children’s occupation and

education, which in turn can influence their commitment

to learning.

Time Management

Time management refers to a range of skill, tool and

techniques used to manage time when accomplishing

specific tasks, projects and goals. This set encompass a

 7

wide scope of activities and these include planning,

allocating, setting goals, delegation, analysis of time

spent, monitoring, organizing and scheduling. Initially,

time management system is designed combination of

processes, tool and techniques (Fishbein & Aljzen, 1975).

Time Management skill are important for students who

often find themselves performing many different works

everyday. Time management will increase students’

productivity. Realizing that time management is

effective, students who implement a time management plan

have equal time for different requirements.

Theoretical and Conceptual Framework

Teachers should consider that there are many factors

that can affect students performances towards school

work. Students’ performances are affected by different

factor such as learning abilities because new paradigm

about learning assumes that all students can and should

learn at higher levels but it should not be considered

constraint because there are other factors like race and

gender that can affect students performance( Hansen, Joe

B.,2000). It has been carried out on in- and out-of-

 8

school variables affecting students performances in

school are school factors, self-concept, self-efficacy,

attribution, motivation and press

variable( Kiamanesh,2004).

Statement of the Problem

The study aims to determine the common factors

affecting students’ performance towards school

requirements.

Specifically, the study seeks to answer the

following questions:
 9

1. What is the socio-demographic profile of student

respondents in terms of:

a. Sex

b. Age

2. What are common factors that affect students

academic performance in compliance of their school

requirements when grouped according to:

a. Attitude

b. Health

c. Environment

d. Time Management

e. Resources

3. What is the factor which greatly affect the

compliance of students towards their school

requirements?

4. Is there a significant difference on the different

factors which affects the compliance of students

toward school requirements when grouped according to

attitude, health, environment, time management and

resources?
 10

Hypothesis

Ho:

There is no significant difference on the different

factors which affects the compliance of students towards

school requirements when grouped according to attitude,

health, environment, time management and resources.

Ha:

There is a significant difference on the different

factors which affects the compliance of students towards

school requirements when grouped according to attitude,

health, environment, time management and resources.

Significance of the Study

The finding of this study may yield information or

give benefits regarding some fields to the following

groups and individuals.

Teachers. This study may give knowledge and more

things in teachers about particular aspect such as their

 11

relationship towards students. This may affect their

concern and the way they treat students as their own and

how would they interact with them and this may also give

them ideas about what are the students main problems why

they sometimes fail and why are their school performances

towards school requirements are incomprehensively down,

often times. By this, they could help the students by

giving them appropriate things that must be done and give

comments that helps students to adjust and balance their

school life.

Students. Students would be able to know, by this

study the common factors, and also the problems that they

don’t seem to notice and are just taken advantage of.

Thus, they could find a way to minimize and balance these

problems. They could also be able to appreciate more on

what their teachers were trying to do or doing to help

cope with these factors that affects their performances.

They could open-up and develop their relationship towards

their teachers and parents. Also, if they balance these

factors in their student life, their school performances

and compliance of requirements most probably would be

affected. Perhaps, it would be better.

 12

Parents. This study would be able to give knowledge

to the parent about the different factors which cab

affects their children’s performance in school. The study

could also give the parents some hint on what they can do

for their children about the problems they’ve been facing

in school. Parents could also help their children deal

with the different factors and encourage them to do

better in school. With this study, parents can be more

considerate on the performance of their children in

school and they will be more aware with the factors that

affects the compliance of their children’s school

requirements.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This study focuses mainly on the factors that

affects the performance of a student in accomplishing

his/her requirements. The factors that affects a

student’s performance will be based in the given

questionnaires and will be rated by the researchers. The

respondents of this study are 80 Third year CRACK

students to determine the common factors which affect

 13

their performances towards their school requirements. The

personal factors---sex and age is needed in the

investigation. The factors that affects the performance

of a student towards their school requirements is rated

on how it greatly affects their performance.

Definition of Terms

To corroborate common understanding, the terms were

operationally defined for better understanding and

lucidity of the study.

Attitude. The term refers to the degree of like or

dislike for an item. It is the views and opinions of

individuals. It is one of the factors that can affect the

academic performances of students towards their

compliance of school requirements.

Environments. The term refers to the factors outside

the classroom which affects the performance of students

inside the classroom.

Health. The terms refers to the state or condition

of a person. This is also considered one of the factors

that have a great impact on the compliance of school

requirements among students.

 14

Performances. The term refers to the effect of the

factors that can affect students performance in school.

It is also the accomplishment of a given task which is

measured against preset standards of accuracy,

completeness and speed.

Resources. The term refers to the things which

students use as references on their school requirements.

Lack of resources may make the students performance

toward school requirements poor.

Requirements. It is the necessities or demands that

is given by a teacher to their students. With these

requirements, students will be able to use their skills

in making and complying their requirements. These

requirements will also be able students to develop

positive attitude like passing the requirements on time

and diligence.

Time Management. The term refers to the organization

of tasks and using time wisely. The students’ management

of time greatly affect their compliance of school

requirements.

METHODOLOGY

Research Design

This study used the survey method of research, in

particular, the descriptive method. It make use of the

said method in as much as the main purpose of this

research was to determine the factors affecting the

compliance of school requirements among third year

students of Agusan National High School. A survey

questionnaire is being presented with 31 items each for

students to answer. The quantitative data research

techniques using scales to assess the factors affecting

the compliance of school requirements among students.

Research Locale

The respondents of this study were the Third Year

Crack students of Agusan National High School, an

institute located at A.D. Curato Street, Butuan City. The

school was first set up in Cabadbaran City as an

extension of the Cabadbaran Elementary School. In 1921,

the high school was relocated in Butuan, still a

municipality at that time. The high school was separated

 16

from Butuan Central Elementary School in 1927 and made an

independent unit. It had a staff of six teachers as well

as a principal with an enrollment of about 268 students.

It shut down on the 8th of December 1941 due to the

occurrence of conflict in World War II. It reopened on

July 16, 1945 during the first days of liberty.

Matriculation was held at the Guingona Park. Most of the

school facilities were from charitable backers like Mr. &

Mrs. Jose C. Aquino, Democrito O. Plaza and his brother

Figurado O. Plaza, Consuelo V. Calo, Salvador L. Calo,

Guillermo R. Sanchez, and other individual alumnus. The

school’s current principal is Mr. Peter G. Esterioso who

supervised the learning center since 2006.

Agusan National High School is guided by the

following vision and mission.

Vision: “A school that produces learners with knowledge

and skills both academic and vocational, God-loving and

law abiding citizens.”

Mission: “The school must provide quality and relevant

education to the students through effective and relevant

teaching strategies, enriched instructional materials

with strong values orientation and a team of committed

 17

and a team of committed and qualified teachers ably

supported by the PTA, LGU's and NGO's thus making them

productive in the society”.

This educational facility consists of various

curriculums. Among which includes the Science and

Technology Oriented High School (STOHS) implemented by

DepEd Order No. 41, S 2004. The Special Program in the

Arts (SPA) is a course for students with flairs in music,

visual arts, theater arts, media arts, creative writing,

and dance. The Restructured Basic Education Curriculum

(RBEC) offers formal basic education making use of

pioneering manner of instructional delivery. The

Technology Vocational Education Curriculum (Tech. Voc.)

trains high school graduated to be ready for college and

employment without the need of remediation.

The academic institution consists of different

departments: the Mathematics Department which is headed

by Mrs. Maria Rita D. Calo, the Science Department which

is supervised by Mrs. Julita N. Garcia, the English

Department led by Mrs. Merlina M. Dy, the Social Studies

Department with Mrs. Nenita M. Bacala as its department

head, the Values Education Department headed by Mrs.

 18

Amelita M. Aquino, the MAPEH Department supervised by

Mrs. Asuncion D. Camacho, the Filipino Department led by

Mr. Froilan G. Borongan, and the TLE Department with Mr.

Buenaventura C. Camilosa, Jr..

The school presents numerous facilities and services

including three libraries: the Caridad Trillo Elumba

Library of English, the Youth environment Service

Organization (YES-O) Library and the Aklatang Filipino.

It also owns an amphitheatre to be used for affairs

applicable to students and teachers. Workrooms like the

speech laboratory, chemistry laboratory, and computer

laboratory are also found within this academe. It also

boasts a school museum, a clinic, and canteens.

Major organizations are abundant in the campus. The

Boy Scouts of the Philippines and its counterpart, the

Girl Scouts of the Philippines both serve the community

through different programs. The Citizenship Advancement

Training (CAT) which educates students responsibility and

self-respect, the Red Cross Youth (RCY), an alert bundle

who helps the clinic personnel during times of crisis,

the Rover Scouts, the Drum & Bugle Corps, School Choir,

Dance Troupe, and the Supreme Student Government (SSG), a

 19

legal student organization tasked to pick up

consultations and recommendations of students and other

concerns that affect them, are more cases of point of

groups found in the grounds of Agusan National High

School.

The Third Year Crack students, who sum up to a total

population of 215, are divided into four sections. Mr.

Angelito F. Agustin is the curriculum chairman for the

Third Year level.

Research Instruments

The research instruments used in conducting the

study were the following:

1. Questionnaire Checklist Form. The researchers

constructed this instrument to ascertain the socio-

demographic profile of the student respondents. The

instrument determined, among others, the sex and

gender of the respondents. The indicators on the

factors affecting students’ compliance on their

school requirements are also listed down to

determine the factor which greatly affects students

performance towards school requirements.

 20

2. Survey Questionnaire for Students. This instrument

was applied to determine the factors, which greatly

affects the compliance of school requirements among

students.

Data Gathering Procedure

Survey Questionnaire was prepared and was sent to 80

third year students randomly. The respondents were

requested to rate the different factors which greatly

affects their compliance of school requirements when

grouped according to attitude, health, environment, time

management and resources.

All accomplished questionnaires were retrieved,

processed, tabulated, and submitted for analysis of data.

Sampling Techniques

The research study used the simple random sampling

technique( F= n/N x 100% ). The researchers asked the

list of third year CRACK students of Agusan National High

School. With this list, the researchers will choose 80

student respondents randomly and they will be asked to

rate the different factors that greatly affects their

performance in complying school requirements.

the researchers. Twenty-two respondents were given the

questionnaires.

In contrast, Diamond and Amethyst have the lowest

respondents who took the questionnaire. Nineteen were

asked to answer the said questionnaire.

The total population of the four section is 215 and

the total sample in the study is 80 respondents.

 22

Data Analysis

The data gathered from the respondents will be

carefully evaluated and analyzed by the researchers. They

will conduct a careful distribution of the survey

questionnaires. The researchers used a scale with 5 point

rating scale as follows: (5) Always, (4) Mostly, (3)

Sometimes, (2) Rarely, (1) Never. The final form of the

survey questionnaires for the third year students contain

the personal information and a 31 item of the common

factors affecting the performance of students towards

their school requirements.

the sampling fraction can be obtained. To be able to

clarify the formula, the definition of the symbols

are as the following:

F = sampling fraction

N = the population of third year CRACK

students

n = the number of respondents

2. Mean. The mean for all the items in the factors

affecting the compliance of school requirements

among third year students of Agusan National High

School is obtained using the scale.

3. Standard Deviation. It is a measure of the

variability or dispersion of statistical data, a

data set, or a probability distribution from its

mean.

4. One-Way Analysis of Variance. This statistical

treatment is used to test if there is a significant

difference on the factors affecting the compliance

of school requirements among students when grouped

according to: Attitude, Health, Environment, Time

Management and Resources.

age belong to 13-14 years old which is 51 or 64% of the

total respondents being considered in the study

undertaken.

While the students with 15-16 years of age is 29 or

36% of the total population of the respondents in the

study.

Problem 2. What are common factors that affect students

academic performance in compliance of their school

requirements when grouped according to Attitude, Health,

Environment, Time Management and Resources?

Table 4 shows the common factors that affect the

compliance of students towards their school requirements

according to Attitude. The data shows that Indicator No.

1 which is I do my school requirements diligently has the

highest mean among the indicators which is 4.6 with a

verbal description of Always. The students do their

school requirements diligently. This shows that students

really work hard in the compliance of their school

requirements. They work with it with all effort and this

shows a positive attitude.

The least rated item is indicator no. 5 which is I

try to do my requirements at home but if I find it

 29

difficult, I easily give up and copy other work, has a

weighted mean of 2 and a verbal description of Rarely.

Students don’t wait for others to finish their school

requirements before they do theirs. This shows that

students work independently in doing their school

requirements. And this also shows a positive attitude of

students.

The common factors that affect students’ compliance

towards their school requirements according to attitude

got an over-all mean of 3.34 and a verbal description of

Sometimes.

Table 5 shows the common factors that affect

students compliance towards school requirements according

to health. Indicator no. 6 which is Lack of sleep leads

to less concentration towards the compliance of school

requirements, got the highest mean of 3 with a verbal

description of Sometimes. The common factor which greatly

affects students’ compliance towards their requirements

is the lack of sleep which leads to less concentration.

This shows that lack of sleep has a great impact on the

performance of students in the compliance of their school

requirements.

The least rated factor is Indicator no. 2 which is I

can't see the writings on the board clearly because of

sight problems, with a mean of 1.5 and a verbal

description of Rarely. It shows that not seeing the

writings on the board clearly because of sight

problems have a less impact on the compliance of school

requirements. Based on this, students may don’t have

sight problems that’s why this item got the lowest mean.

The common factors that affect students’ compliance

towards their school requirements according to health got

an over-all mean of 2 and a verbal description of Rarely.

Table 6 shows the common factors that affect

students’ compliance of their school requirements

according to environment. The indicator which got the

highest mean is Indicator no.1 that states that student

live in a peaceful place, which is suitable for making

their school requirements. Its mean is 4.4 with a verbal

description of Mostly. This shows that most of the

student respondents live in a peaceful place. A peaceful

place is really suitable for making school requirements.

Indicator no. 6 which states, I live near the

squatters' area where there are many quarrels happening

got the least rating. Its mean is 1.4 with a verbal

description of Never. Most of the student respondents

 32

don’t live in the squatter’s area where there are many

quarrels happening. Students’ may don’t like living there

because this place is not suitable in doing their school

requirements.

The common factors that affect students’ compliance

daily planner and schedule tasks to be done, got the mean

of 3 and a verbal description of Sometimes which is the

 33

highest mean of all the indicators. Having a daily

planner and scheduling tasks to be done is commonly done

by the student respondents in the research study. Most of

the student respondents in this project are well-

organized and time-managed.

The indicator having a mean of 2 is indicator no. 1

and 3 which states, I am usually late for classes and

appointment, I forget appointments and I have to

reschedule them, respectively with a verbal description

of Rarely. The student respondents rarely get late or

forget classes and appointments. Students are serious on

their classes and appointments. They don’t take advantage

on their studies.

Table 8 shows the common factors affecting the

students’ compliance towards their school requirements.

Indicator no.1 which is the use of books as reference in

doing homework got the highest mean which is 4.1 having a

verbal description of Mostly. The student respondents in

the study use books as reference for their homeworks or

school requirements. Students nowadays still trust books

for their reference despite the modernization.

Indicator no. 4 which is having limited resources

and destroyed books as references got the lowest mean

among the indicators. Its mean is 2 with a verbal

description of Rarely. This shows that students have

sufficient resources as reference for the compliance of

school requirements.
 35

The common factors that affect students’ compliance

towards their school requirements according to resources

got an over-all mean of 3.51 and a verbal description of

Mostly.

Problem 3. What is the factor which greatly affects the

compliance of students towards their school requirements?

2. Health 2.00 Rarely
3. Environment 2.53 Sometimes
4. Time Management 2.42 Rarely
5. Resources 3.51 Mostly
Over-all 2.76 Sometimes

Table 9 shows the factors affecting the compliance

of students towards their school requirements when

grouped according to attitude, health, environment, time

management and resources. Resources which is indicator

number 5 got the highest mean of 3.51 with a verbal

description of Mostly. Resources which is one of the

factors in this study greatly affects the compliance of

students towards their school requirements. The lack and

 36

availability of resources has a great impact on the

performance of students.

Item no. 2 which is Health got the lowest rating. It

has a mean of 2 with a verbal description of Rarely. This

just shows that Health has a less impact on the

compliance of school requirements. Most of the student

respondents are not affected by their health in their

compliance of the school requirements.

Problem 4. Is there a significant difference on the

different factors which affects the compliance of

students toward school requirements?

Table 10 shows that the F- tabular value, which is

2.37, is lesser than the computed value which is, 139.44

Therefore, we have to reject Ho and Accept Ha. There is a

significant difference on the different factors which

 37

affects the compliance of students towards school

requirements when grouped according to attitude, health,

environment, time management and resources.

Thus, the factors presented can really affect the

performance of students towards their school

requirements. The performance of students can be based on

how they cope with these factors.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Summary of Findings

The study conducted used the survey approach of

research. It exploit the said approach in as much as the

main purpose of this research study was to determine the

environment;6 items, time management;5 items and

resources;6 items.
 39

There are 80 student respondents from the third

year(CRACK)sections who took the formulated and floated

questionnaire of the researchers.

Based on the findings of the researchers, as to sex,

majority of the student respondents are female which is

61 or 76% of the total respondents. Most of the student

respondents belong to the age bracket of 13-14 which is

51 or 54% of the total population of the respondents..

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

attitude, Indicator No. 1 which is I do my school

requirements diligently has the highest mean among the

indicators which is 4.6 with a verbal description of

Always. The students do their school requirements

diligently. This shows that students really work hard in

the compliance of their school requirements. They work

with it with all effort and this shows a positive

attitude.

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to health,

Indicator no. 6 which is Lack of sleep leads to less

concentration towards the compliance of school

requirements, got the highest mean of 3 with a verbal

 40

description of Sometimes. The common factor which greatly

affects students’ compliance towards their requirements

is the lack of sleep which leads to less concentration.

This shows that lack of sleep has a great impact on the

performance of students in the compliance of their school

requirements.

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

environment, The indicator which got the highest mean is

Indicator no.1 that states that student live in a

peaceful place, which is suitable for making their school

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to time

management, Indicator no.4, I have daily planner and

schedule tasks to be done, got the mean of 3 and a verbal

description of Sometimes which is the highest mean of all

the indicators. Having a daily planner and scheduling

tasks to be done is commonly done by the student

respondents in the research study. Most of the student

 41

respondents in this project are well-organized and time-

managed.

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

resources, Indicator no.1 which is the use of books as

reference in doing homework got the highest mean which is

4.1 having a verbal description of Mostly. The student

respondents in the study use books as reference for their

homeworks or school requirements. Students nowadays still

trust books for their reference despite the modernization.

Based on the over-all mean of the factors affecting

the compliance of students when grouped according to

attitude, health, environment, time management and

resources, item number 5 which is Resources got the

highest mean of 3.51 with a verbal description of Mostly.

Resources which is one of the factors in this study

greatly affects the compliance of students towards their

school requirements. The lack and availability of

resources has a great impact on the performance of

students.

Based on the computation of the Analysis of Variance

in the study, the F- tabular value which is 2.37 is

 42

lesser than the computed value of the study which is

139.44. Thus, there is a significant difference on the

different factors which affects the compliance of

students towards school requirements when grouped

according to attitude, health, environment, time

management and resources. These factors greatly affect

the performance of students in the compliance of school

requirements.

Recommendations

Based on the findings and conclusions derived from

the study, the following recommendations are proposed by

the researchers:

1. The students should learn to balance the factors

affecting the compliance of students towards

school requirements presented by the researcher in

the study so that their performance will not be

affected.

2. The school should organize a seminar regarding the

different factors that affect the performance of

students towards the compliance of their school

requirements. By this, students’ mind will be more

aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Through

this, they can strengthen their weaknesses and

build our strengths further.

 46

3. This study should be improvised by adding more

factors that affects the compliance of school

requirements. Respondents of the study should be

divided into 2 groups; the highest and the lowest

sections of the school. Through this, comparisons

between the respondents’ results can be easily

drawn.
