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 researchersused test results or
previous year result since they are studying performance for the specificsubject 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 students‘ academic performance. These are internal and external
classroom factors and these factors strongly affect the students‘ performance. 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 thecourse 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 students‘ performance depends on many factors such as learning facilities, gender
and age differences, etc. that can affectstudent performance (Hansen, Joe B., 2000). Harb and El-
Shaarawi (2006) found that the mostimportant factor with positive effect on students' performance is
Parental Involvement.
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
In his widely cited paper, Romer (1993) is one of the first few authors to explore the relationship
between student attendance and exam performance. A number of factors have contributed to declining
class attendances around the world in the last 15 years. The major reasons given by students for non-
attendance include assessment pressures, poor delivery of lectures, timing of lectures, and work
commitments (Newman-Ford, Lloyd & Thomas, 2009). In recent times, students have found a need to
seek employment while studying on a part-time basis due to financial constraints. The numbers of part-
time and mature students has also risen sharply. The use of information technology also means that
information that used to be obtained from sitting through lectures can be obtained at the click of a
mouse. Indeed, web-based learning approaches have become the order of the day. Educational services
are often not tangible and are difficult to measure because they result in the form of transformation of
knowledge, life skills and behavior modifications of learners (Tsinidou, Gerogiannis, & Fitsilis, 2010). So
there is no commonly agreed upon definition of quality that is applied to education field. The definition
of quality of education varies from culture to culture (Michael, 1998). The environment and the personal
characteristics of learners play an important role in their academic success. The school personnel,
members of the families and communities provide help and support to students for the quality of their
academic performance. This social assistance has a crucial role for the accomplishment of performance
goals of students at school (Goddard, 2003). Besides the social structure, parents‘ involvement in their
child‘s education increases the rate of academic success of their child(Furstenberg & Hughes, 1995).
MEDIA/TECHNOLOGY
Education encounters, in modern times, challenges in all aspects of social, economic & cultural life; the
most important of which are over-population.

Research Design
The descriptive method will be employed in this study to determine the factors that affects the
Academic Performance of Grade-11 HUMSS of Saint Ferdinand College, because the whole study or
research is focused on the different factors that is affecting the Academic Perfomance of the students.
Research Locale
This study will be conducted at Saint Ferdinand College since chosen respondents are students of
this school. Saint Ferdinand College is the only Catholic Educational Institution located in Ilagan City,
Isabela, Philippines. It was established in 1950 founded by Knights of Columbus Ilagan Council 3705. Its
formal operation was in the School Year 1951-1952 with classes offering from Kindergarten to College

Research Instrument
The research instrument to be use on this study is questionaire. It consist series of questions that
are connected to the topic for the purpose of gathering information from the respondents. It provides a
relatively cheap, quick and efficient way of obtaining large amounts of information from a large sample
of people. This is useful for a large populations when interviews would be impractical.
The first step before going to the testing proper is to make a request letter to the Principal as well
as class advisers and other faculty members that are selected in the administration. The researchers will
personally explain and guide the students in answering the questionaire. In administering the
questionaire, the researchers will use the time allotted for vacant to avoid distruction during class
discussions. The student responses were given enough time to answer the questions. After data
gathering, the researchers will consolidate it for tallying and to apply the statical treatment to be use in
the study. The grades will be obtained from the Form 138 of students provided by the adviser.
