 INTRODUCTION

Objectives:

(Jay Arnel Bilocura 2012) Claimed that includes facts about tardiness, the different factors that
causes it and its effect to the students as students and as bearer of their own lives in the future.
From reliable research materials like online journals and research papers, we will provide some
facts and theories from authors, teachers and notable people in order to have a concrete
justification of our study. First, we will give a definition of tardiness and present some theories
and facts about it. Next, we will discuss he various factors that causes the students to come to
school late, the psychological theories, the observation of the teachers and the personal reasons
of the students. Lastly, the effects of tardiness to students, not just to himself/herself but also to
his/her future and to other people, will be discussed,“lateness” can be defined as the “situation
where an individual arrives after the proper, scheduled or usual time (Oxford Advance Learners’
Dictionary, 5th ed., 1995), Lauby (2009) puts it as a term used to describe “people not showing
up on time” and Breeze et al. (2010) contributed by saying that, lateness is synonymous with
“tardiness”, which implies being slow to act or slow to respond, thus not meeting up with proper
or usual timing. Lastly, Weade (2004) defined tardiness as “being late for any measurable length
of time past the stated or scheduled start time for work or school.”

This study target to examine A school must provide students with quality education and ensure
that students have full access to it. But, students can’t fully experience this education when they
are tardy and absent. ETC (as cited by Nakpodia and Dafiaghor, 2011) stated that “regular and
punctual attendance is of paramount importance in ensuring that all students have full access to
the curriculum valuable learning time is lost when students are absent or late.” Jay Arnel
Bilocura (2012)

Significance /Importance of the Research

1. The research proposals to the immediate needs of the Junior High School students of San Roque Catholic
School.

2. The outcome of the research would help the researcher in finding out the exact reason for the problem.

3. The research would help the researcher with possible solutions to the problem.

I chose this topic because many young people or students are late for class because they miss school or go
to school that’s why myself is encouraged ,I have classmates late in the class and they interfere with
another teacher's lesson.

Must come early to be good at school and avoid late and should be able to improve attendance so that
those who are late in the class are less or less likely to be caught.
