The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
Accountants work for public interest; hence, there is a need of rigid qualifying examinations
for professional certification, the Certified Public Accountant Licensure Examinations. The CPA
Licensure examinations comprise of six (6) subjects, namely: Financial Accounting and Reporting,
Advanced Financial Accounting and Reporting, Auditing, Taxation, Regulatory Framework for
Business Transactions, and Management Accounting and Control.
This research focused on one of the licensure examination subjects, the Management
Accounting and Control. It is true that each board subject represents the different fields of
professional accountants, and Management Accounting and Control are for advisory services. The
need for this subject has emerged to acquire necessary business as well as scientific management
competence in preparation as a Management Accounting Practitioner. The need for these
practitioners is a result of the businessmens increasing and continuous demand for assistance in
improving their managerial, operating and economic performance. Thus, the program of Bachelor
of Science in Accountancy, where most of the practitioners in Management Accounting and
undergraduate degree of CPAs came from, included the subjects related thereto.
The Bachelor of Science in Accountancy Program included courses in order to acquire the
basic competence and technical ability for the preparation as a prospective management
consultant. The courses are Management Accounting 1 and Management Accounting 2 which are

supplemented by foundation courses such as Management, Economics, Statistics, Cost
Accounting, Productions and Operations Management, Total Quality Management, and
Quantitative Techniques for Business Planning and Decision-Making.
In this study, Good Academic Performance is characterized by the final grades of BSA
students of T.I.P.-Manila in Management Accounting 2, the scope of the research, which cross the
threshold of the BSA Retention Policy. The grade cutoff wherein to base if the students
performance is good was derived from the Accountancy department rule, which states that in order
to continue pursuing the BSA Program, the students should not get grades lower than 2.25.
Moreover, the T.I.P. students manual revision date 02/2014 appendix 28 policy no. 00325-2-2013
further provides that in order to obtain a scholarship grant, the student must not also have grades
lower than 2.25.
The researchers aimed to find out the factors which contribute for appreciation leading to
good academic performance of students in Management Accounting. Researchers are after the
study of relationship existing between the students appreciation of management accounting and
the environment, be it external or internal which affects their learning of Management Accounting.
Background of the Study
Technological Institute of the Philippines (T.I.P.) is one of the primers who consistently
produce competent professionals in the field of accountancy. From the past years, the T.I.P.
graduates have been performing well in the crux of the research chosen topic based on data
gathered in students academic performance

The researchers come up with this research to know the strengths as well as the room for
improvements in nurturing the accounting students with necessary skills particularly in
Management Accounting. The determinants may be raised to the department chair or higher
authority for evaluation in order to provide more quality education which T.I.P. is committed with.
The Outcomes-Based Teaching and Learning System implementation and good academic
performance of the students in management accounting has emanated the curiosity of the
researchers skeptical mind to know the factors behind the academic performance of a student.
Does mentoring technique contribute for students appreciation of Management Accounting?
However, this study will pay more attention to the role of family background, school environment,
students habit and personal goals, and the educational system in the development of individual
performance.
The researchers adapted the Systems Theory Input-Output Model pioneered by Ludwig
Von Bertalanffy in 1956. This theory proposes that various elements interact to result as a whole.
In this study, the inputs - the foundation courses appreciation, family support, class schedule,
mentoring techniques of professors as well as their peers, and learning environment, are believed
to transform the students through mentoring and learning and are reflected by the students
academic performance, the output.

The research is design to investigate what factors BSA students considered affecting their
academic performance in Management Accounting. The framework provides different aspects of
BSA students such as those program-related, home-related, faculty-related, personal aspiration
and school environment. The inputs gathered through survey and questionnaires will be
summarized through the use of statistical techniques with the aid of scientific method in order to
arrive at the conclusion with the sufficient evidential matter.
The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) has identified problems that run
simultaneously with the present tertiary school curriculum in the country (SEAMEO- INNOTECH,
2003). Among the school- related factors found are unqualified and poorly trained teachers,
inadequate facilities, and dilapidated instructional materials. Non-school factors include poverty,
low educational attainment and illiteracy of parents and poor health and nutrition (Gato et. al 2014).
This research framework aims to give proof, contradiction or new set of facts about the factors
identified by the previous researches conducted by different interested parties such as CHED.
This framework will assist in evaluating the current syllabus for topic distribution and
courses-separation of Management Accounting related subjects. The use of input-output method
will identify which of the inputs when put together will matter for the students academic
performance as a whole. The researchers believe that the aspects enumerated herewith would be
best served by this Systems theory of input-output.

Chapter 2
Review of Related Literature and Studies
Assessing students academic performance is challenging since their performance is a
product of socio-economic, psychological and environmental factors. This chapter presents the
related literature and studies of the factors affecting the good academic performance of the
students. It contains research journal, articles, magazines, books, information and knowledge that
has been accumulated in the past and present time and lastly, data gathered from the internet.
Foreign Literature and Studies
All of the research reviews support the hypothesis that student performance depends on
different socio-economic, psychological, environmental factors. The findings of research studies
focused that student performance is affected by different factors 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 as constraint because there are other factors like race, gender, sex that
can affect students performance. (Hansen, Joe B.2000). Some of the researchers even tried to
explain the link between students achievements, economic circumstances and the risk of becoming
a drop-out that proved to be positive (Goldman, N., Haney, W., and Koffler, S., 1988, Pallas, A.,
Natriello, G., McDill, E., 1989, Levin, H., 1986) B.A Chansarkar and A. Mishaeloudis (2001),
explained the effects of age, qualification distance from learning place etc. on student performance.
The performance of students on the module is not affected by such factors as age, sex and place

of residence but is associated with qualification in quantitative subjects. It is also found that those
who live near the university perform better than other students.
Yvonne Beaumont Walters, kola soyibo,(1998) further elaborated that student performance
is very much dependent on SEB (socio economic back ground)as per their statement, students
level of performance is with statistically significant differences, linked to their gender, grade level,
school location, school type, student type and socio-economic background (SEB).
Kirby, Winston et al. (2002) focused on students impatience (his time-discount behavior)
that influences his own academic performance.
Goethe found out that weak students do better when grouped with other weak students.
(As implied by Zajoncs analysis of older siblings (1976) it shows that students performance
improves if they are with the students of their own kind.
There are often different results by gender, as in Hoxbys K-12 results (2000); Sacerdote
(2001) finds that grades are higher when students have unusually academically strong roommates.
The results of Zimmerman (1999, 2001) were somewhat contradictory to Goethe results
but again it proved that students performance depends on number of different factors, it says that
weak peers might reduce the grades of middling or strong students.
(Alexander, Gur et al. 1974; Fraser, Beamn et al. 1977) explained that some of the
practices adopted by college administration in higher education like residential colleges or
organized study groups also help to increases performance.

Galiher (2006) and Darling (2005), used GPA to measure student performance because
the main focus in the student performance for the particular semester. Some other researchers
used test results or previous year result since they are studying performance for the specific
subject or year (Hijazi and Naqvi, 2006 and Hake, 1998). Many researchers have discussed the
different factors that affect the student academic performance in their research. There are two
types of factors that affect the studentsacademic performance. These are internal and external
classroom factors and these factors strongly affect the studentsperformance. Internal classroom
factors includes students competence in English, class schedules, class size, English text books,
class test results, learning facilities, homework, environment of the class, complexity of the course
material, teachers role in the class, technology used in the class and exams systems. External
classroom factors include extracurricular activities, family problems, work and financial, social and
other problems. Research studies shows that studentsperformance depends on many factors such
as learning facilities, gender and age differences, etc. that can affect student performance
(Hansen, Joe B., 2000). Harb and El-Shaarawi (2006) found that the most important factor with
positive effect on students' performance is Parental Involvement.
Local Literature and Studies
Literature provides a number of reports, which have successfully developed an association
between performance of students and role of different factors. The most common factors are
family, teacher, school environment, and personal profile of the students (Diaz, 2003; Gianzero,
1999; Hijaz and Naqvi, 2006).

The extent of students learning in academics may be determined by the grades that a
student earns for a period of learning has been done. It is believed that a grade is a primary factor
that indicates of such learning. If a student earns high grades it is concluded that they may also
have learned a lot while low grades indicate lesser learning. However, many experiences and
studies found out that there are also several factors that would affect the grades. Not a single
factor can be definitely pointed out as predicting grades. It has been interplay of so many factors
gender, IQ, study habits, age, year level, parents educational attainment, social status, number of
siblings, birth order, etc. In fact, almost all of existing environmental and personal factors are a
variable of academic performance. However, at this point in time, the researchers would like to
investigate the possible relationship of study habits and the factors affecting it to the academic
achievement of under graduate education students of KPTM-KL. The investigation of on this area
thus becomes a real and compelling motivation for the researchers to conduct this study.
It is generally believed that the basis for any true development must commence with the
development of human resources. When we come to think of students, they are the ones who learn
ideas to become more responsible and productive someday. Examples of the factors affecting the
academic performance of students are the environmental, social/ family, teachers, friend
relationships, and socio-economic factors. Almost all of the factors are a variable of academic
performance. Paulo Angelo Dela Rosa, Mary Joy Cantilla, James Caete, Ansarie Datua, Bonnie
Fe Bangero, Beverly Acana
Individual differences in academic performance have been linked to differences in
intelligence and personality. Students with higher mental ability as demonstrated by IQ tests (quick

learners) and those who are higher in conscientiousness (linked to effort and achievement
motivation) tend to achieve highly in academic settings. A recent meta-analysis suggested that
mental curiosity (as measured by typical intellectual engagement) has an important influence on
academic achievement in addition to intelligence and conscientiousness. Childrens semistructured home learning environment, transitions into a more structured learning environment
when children start first grade. Early academic achievement enhances later academic
achievement. Parents academic socialization is a term describing the way parents influence
students academic achievement by shaping students skills, behaviors and attitudes towards
school. Parent influence students through the environment and discourse parents have with their
children. Academic socialization can be influenced by parents socio-economic status. Highly
educate parents tend to have more stimulating learning environments (Mahawi 1992).
Written with Dr. Michael Aguirre Clores of the Department of Mathematics and natural
Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, Ateneo de Naga University, presents case studies in the
interaction between studentsunderstanding and belief in learning the theory of evolution.
Constructivist theory argues that belief and understanding are separate but interrelated aspects in
the learning process. Results revealed that students position about the theory of evolution and
patterns of understanding varied: (a) misconceptions or lack of understanding affecting the belief;
(b) cascade of conceptual change that was complicated by belief; (c) rejection of the theory due to
challenged religious belief and potential to understand evolutionary theory despite resistance to
believe in the theory; (d) remaining skeptical about the theory due to ambivalence that emanated
from his conflicting theological and scientific beliefs and misconception he held about human
evolution, and (e) prior beliefs and concepts that were commensurate to the accepted scientific

16

College of Business Education

concepts and beliefs about the evolution made learning evolution less complicated. We conclude
that the Filipino studentsbelief affect their ability to understand the theory of evolution and viceversa.
The strategic nature of learning requires students to be goal directed. To construct useful
representations of knowledge and to acquire the thinking and learning strategies necessary for
continued learning success across the life span, students must generate and pursue personally
relevant goals. Initially, students' short-term goals and learning may be sketchy in an area, but over
time their understanding can be refined by filling gaps, resolving inconsistencies, and deepening
their understanding of the subject matter so that they can reach longer-term goals. Educators can
assist learners in creating meaningful learning goals that are consistent with both personal and
educational aspirations and interests.( Soledad Esplanada, 1996).

Methodology
This chapter outlines the methods and the approaches used by the researchers. The
method comprises of methods of research used, data gathering procedure, and statistical
treatment that will address information necessary to collect, present, and analyze data.
Methods of Research Used
The study used the descriptive or normative method of research, which is used to describe
characteristics of a population or phenomenon being studied. It involved the collection of data that
provided an account or description of individuals, groups or situations. This type of research
describes what exists and helps to uncover new facts about the researcher conducted. Moreover, it
aimed at finding out "what is," so survey method is frequently used to collect descriptive data. It
also brings the ability to describe events in greater or less depth as needed, to focus on various
elements of different research techniques, and to engage quantitative statistics to organize
information in meaningful ways. Relatively, the method is appropriate in this research since it
provided an account or description of different factors affecting students academic performance in
Management Accounting. The type of descriptive method used in the research is the questionnaire
survey. This type of descriptive method gave the respondents an ample time to assess and to
answer series of questions and other prompts for the purpose of gathering information from them.
In terms of approach, the study employed quantitative approach, which focused on obtaining
numerical findings used in the survey method.

18

Technological Institute of the Philippines Manila


College of Business Education
Bachelor of Science in Accountancy
The purpose of employing the descriptive method is to gather quantifiable information that
can be used for statistical inference on the target respondent through data analysis. The
researcher opted to use this kind of research desiring to acquire important datas from the
respondents to formulate rational and sound conclusion for the study. Since this study is focused
on the perception and evaluation of the factors influencing students good academic performance
in Management Accounting 2, the descriptive method was used.
Population and Sampling
The study opted to use the census type of survey method as the entire population is
sufficiently small; accordingly researchers included the entire population in the study. A census is
often construed as the opposite of a sample as its intent is to count everyone in a population rather
than a fraction. The research population of the study comprised of 5 th year Accountancy students
from Technological Institute of the Philippines-Manila who took up Management Accounting 1 & 2
courses. The researchers believed that the use of census type of survey method provided a true
measure of population, and it produced a higher degree of accuracy in data. The finding of the
research was based on the perception of the respondents as reflected on their responses in the
questionnaire.
Research Instrument
Polit and Hungler (1999:267) defined data as information obtained during the course of an
investigation of the study. Data collection instruments refer to devices used to collect data such as
questionnaires, tests, structured interview schedules and checklists (Seaman 1991:42).In this

19

Technological Institute of the Philippines Manila


College of Business Education
Bachelor of Science in Accountancy
study the questionnaires was used to obtain data relevant to the studys objectives and research
questions. The questionnaire was designed to gather information about the factors influencing
students good academic performance in Management Accounting. The questionnaire consists of
two parts. The first part dealt with students final grade in Management Accounting 2 and the
second part dealt with the response of the respondents to the factors given in the study;
Foundation courses, Class Schedule, Learning Environment, Faculty Mentoring, Peer Mentoring,
Reference Materials, Family Support, and Personal Goals.
Validation of Research Instrument
Validity refers to the degree to which an instrument measures what is supposed to be
measuring (Uys, & Basson

1991:80) Content validity was done prior to the finalization of the

said questionnaires in the process of validation. The questionnaires were presented to Prof.
Ronald Eric C. Buen, Dr. Danilo S. Sosa, Prof. Mariel C. Jaguarin, and Prof. Shirley U. Espino for
validation and ten 5th Year students of T.I.P.-Manila. The said professors and students gave their
recommendations and suggestions regarding to the content and form of the survey questionnaire.
Consequently the researchers undergo several corrections and revision as recommended by the
said professors above. The purpose of the validation is to improve and enhance the survey
questionnaire.
Data Gathering Procedure
This study depends strongly on the principal data which was provided by students who
already took up Management Accounting course.

20

Technological Institute of the Philippines Manila


College of Business Education
Bachelor of Science in Accountancy
The questionnaires were personally distributed to the target respondents, after few steps in
obtaining formal permission were done. It was immediately retrieved after they finish answering it.
The responses in the questionnaire was tabulated, analyzed and interpreted to determine: 1) what
is the level of impact of the different factors affecting students academic performance in
Management Accounting; 2) which indicator among the factors has the highest impact on the
students academic performance; 3) which set of factors has the highest impact on the students
academic performance.
Furthermore, request for cooperation and assurance that all information gathered have
been treated strictly with confidentiality.
Statistical Treatment
Certain statistical method was used to properly analyze, evaluate and interpret the data
that was collected. Those statistical methods are weighted mean, composite and Likert-Scaling
under descriptive statistics.
Weighted Mean = this method was used in getting the average score in each element of
factors affecting students academic performance in the survey, computed through the formula:

Where:
