CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
Introduction
As stated by Ridley, 2017 Boarding has given us the opportunity to build strength of
character and has enabled us to grow in areas such as resilience, by living with wide range of
people coming from completely diverse background.
Dealing with different characters in a boarding community has built strength of character
that we may not have previously had. It has also allowed us to build special bonds with people
opportunity to socialize with. The most beneficial part of decision to board is that you are
guaranteeing ourselves a wide network of friends and experiences. It will give us the opportunity
to fit into a supportive culture that has encouraged us to develop as a person. Learning
Independence, understanding priorities. Independence might be the greatest through the
elements, do their own laundry, and get up in the morning. Parents aren’t there to shield them
from natural causes and effect. Boarding house are good place to fail and succeed, which makes
them great places to learn. It’s a controlled freedom. A study place can be everywhere as long as
the student is comfortable with it. There are many study places in which the student can choose.
Deciding where to study can be just as important as how much or how hard a student studies.
According to Weiss, 2004 It is the ability to live independently and productively in the
community and to live with the same freedom of choice as a non-disabled person. So it’s not that
A.Y. 2018 - 2019
you are living on your own but that you control where you live and have the same range of
choices as a non-disabled person.
Independent living really is an idea, a concept, a thought process. You apply this thought
process to your lifestyle. I would think that even if a person were in prison and the only choice
that they could make would be whether they would eat their food when they first got it, or eat it
an hour later, they would still be practicing Independent Living (Semkiw, 2000).
Theoretical Framework
Theory of Student Development
The theory of student development underpins our study. This states that the student's entire
environment is educational and must be used to help the student develop fully. This also requires
the support of certain proponents or authors as follows.
Clarkson (2006) explains that this theory, which is based on general human development
theories, provides explanations and descriptions of the growth processes common to student
experiences. She uses the hierarchy of needs of Maslow to explain her thoughts in her
Introduction to the theory of student development. Clarkson believes that getting a good night 's
sleep, getting the necessary nutrients and staying free from life-threatening diseases or injuries
are critical to well-being, but these are generally not enough for most college students. She also
adds that college students can generally meet their security and safety needs; however, this can
only be achieved if they live in a familiar environment free of danger. Finally, Clarkson says that
A.Y. 2018 - 2019
new students typically spend a lot of time and energy seeking acceptance from colleagues and
developing friends on campus, so it is not that easy to form social groups.
De Larrosa (2000) explains that the Chickering model known as the "Seven Vectors of Student
Development "(1969) can explain a specific theory of student development. She explains that
these vectors try to illustrate how the development of a student in the university environment
affects his or her emotional, social, physical and intellectual being in a university environment.
Chickering and Raisser (1993) includes the following additional vectors: competence
development, emotional management, movement towards interdependence through autonomy,
development of mature interpersonal relationships, identity development, purpose development
and integrity development (De Larrosa, 2000).
The concepts underlying this study include that of Chickering (1974), cited by Kane (1990),
which states that a life in a residence hall has a significant impact on students at all stages of
development. Kane (1990) as a positive effect of staying in residence halls on their personal
development. According to Blimling (1993), living in a residence hall does not guarantee a
student rich educational experience.

A.Y. 2018 - 2019
Statement of the Problem
This study aimed at providing an in-depth description and understanding of the experiences of
the student boarders of selected grade-12 students of University of Perpetual Help System
Laguna-Isabela Campus for the school year 2018-2019.
Specifically, this qualitative inquiry answered the following questions:
1.) What are the experiences of student boarders?
2.) What are the problems they have encountered?
3.) How do they manage to overcome identified challenges?
Assumptions of the Study
The researchers based this study on the following assumptions:
1.) Student boarders experienced the positive and negative outcomes of living away from
home.
2.) Being homesick, budgeting allowances, lacking of parental guidance are examples of
challenges and problems of students who are living in boarding houses.
3.) With the presence of their co-boarders, family and being optimistic, are ways to encounter
their identified problems and challenges.

A.Y. 2018 - 2019
Significance of the Study
This study was undertaken to find out the experiences of student boarders of selected
grade 12 students of University of Perpetual Help System Laguna-Isabela campus rendered by
the researchers.
The research intends to focus on the assessments of experiences and challenges
encountered by the students who live in a boarding houses while studying. Along this line, the
findings from this study would bring to light the existence of the challenges of the Grade 12
students of University of Perpetual Help System Laguna-Isabela Campus in living in boarding
houses.
This study would be of great help to the following:
To the Teachers- They will be aware on what experiences that they students can possibly
encounter, and also they apply the idea about how to manage that kind of experiences of being
independent if they living away from home.
To the Students- The students will be benefited through gaining more knowledge about what
experiences they may encounter if they will be an independent.
To the Parents- They will be aware of the experiences that their children are encountering from
living away from home.
To the Future Researchers- They can apply our understanding to future researchers, and also
they may adopt our knowledge about the topic to improve their research.
A.Y. 2018 - 2019

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Foreign Literature
Depending on where the apartment is, students can also have to pay for their travel
expenses and troubles. It could also affect students ' time spent on school work and could lead to
a reduction in grades (Gladen, 2010).
The main benefit for campus students is that they are a short walk from the campus
library, which can help students succeed in their research papers. Although most students
perform better academically, some students suffer because they cannot concentrate on their
studies, because sleeping is rarely solemn (Tsavo Media Canada Inc., 2010).
According to Flowers (2004), Flowers focuses exclusively on African American students
and finds that measures of personal and social development skills which he suggests are essential
for successful academic achievement in the dormitories.
There are many places where students live, some of which are school dorms, apartments
and their homes. A living environment for students is more than a place to live, it is a society in
which a student is a member (Dakin, 2008)
LOCAL LITERATURE
Under Brillantes et al. (2012) the proximity and affordability of Filipino university students are
the two most important factors in considering a dormitory or boarding house. Living in
A.Y. 2018 - 2019
university dormitories offers students great convenience. All dormitories are strategically located
near facilities offering basic services related to dining, printing, health, banking, religion and
basic necessities to university students.
Velasquez-Garcia and Garcia (2016) noted that the majority of universities in the Philippines
offer traveling students and very few other residential facilities on campus. Living arrangements
for students in the Philippines can vary from staying with parents to staying in a pension. The
majority of dormitories and boarding houses in the Philippines are private and the quality of the
facilities and living conditions vary and are largely unregulated.
Students will be highly satisfied with the environment in general if the institutional environment
is welcoming (Billups, 2008).
FOREIGN STUDIES
According to a study by Jordyn & Byrd (2003), one of the crucial points in the life of a young
adult is when they leave home. They are facing the challenge of living independently with
minimal support from their families. Recent studies have shown that young adults ' living
arrangements have an impact on the various aspects of the child's personal development. It is
said that young adults who do not reside at home face greater difficulties, but use a more direct
way to deal with the problems they face.
In addition to the effects on the personal development of young adults, some studies have also
focused on the impact of the students ' living arrangements on their academic performance.
These students claimed they were more ambitious, independent and better prepared to attend
A.Y. 2018 - 2019
academic institutions away from their families. Most also said that when they live alone, they
could concentrate more on their studies. (Wodtke’s, 2010)
LOCAL STUDIES
The importance of housing conditions in an academic institution in Guihulngan City is not an
endemic concern, but a national concern. A study carried out by Ruel a. Brilliantes, et al (2012)
entitled "The living conditions of university students in boarding houses and dormitories in
Davao City, Philippines "determined university students ' living conditions in boarding houses
and dormitories. This is based on the assumption that the physical and environmental
components of these residential facilities can affect the holistic well-being of the students.
This study implies that the relationship of students' academic performance and the physical
conditions in terms of lighting and electrical facilities, ventilation and spacing has a high
relationship in terms of their grades though their responses were only good in physical conditions
on their lodging houses, This study was concurred by the study of Brilliantes (2012) that the
academic performance of students has improved during their stay in the boarding houses or
dormitory because they can accomplish academic requirements efficiently during their stay in the
boarding house. Meanwhile, the fire protection facilities and study room has a "marked/moderate
relationship" in terms of their academic performance.

A.Y. 2018 - 2019
Synthesis
The studies show that house ambiance in their apartments and boarding houses are a big factor
for concentration in their studies. Furthermore, the odds of living in an apartment is beneficial to
those students whose houses are from faraway. Lastly, the studies show that leaving their own
houses at young age can be crucial to a student and can affect their personal development
throughout.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY
This chapter will discuss the research design, the selection of the participants as well as
the instrumentation and validation, data gathering procedures and treatment and analysis of data.
This chapter described and discussed how the researchers gathered the necessary data and
information that was used in the entire study. This chapter discusses also the type of research that
will be use, the research method and the research locale where the study was conducted.
Research Design
This study used qualitative research in gathering information regarding the experiences of
student boarders of selected grade 12 students. According to Bryman and Bell (2007) Qualitative
research is inductivist, constructionist, and interpretivist, but qualitative researchers always don’t
subscribe to all three methods.
A phenomenological approach study is used to enable the researchers to generate data and used
to gain an understanding of underlying reasons, and motivation. According to Creswell (2013), a
phenomenological study describes the common meaning of several individuals of their lived
experience of a concept or a phenomenon.

A.Y. 2018 - 2019
The researchers considered phenomenological approach the appropriate method and approach in
this study, it is because the researchers can personally interview the participants that was
conducted.
Sources of Data
The sources of data in this study were the responses of 8-15 students from University of
Perpetual Help System Laguna-Isabela Campus identified living in a boarding house, in Minante
1, Cauyan City Isabela.
Participants of the Study
The participants of the study were the selected student boarders of the grade 12 Senior High
School of the University of Perpetual Help System Laguna-Isabela Campus. The school is
located at Minante 1, Cauayan City Isabela.
Instrumentation and Validation
The questions that the researchers constructed was validated by the research adviser and
those who are authorized to validate the questions.
The researcher provided the interview guide to the selected students of grade 12 in University
of Perpetual Help System Laguna-Isabela Campus for the participants of the study. The handling
of questionnaires was done personally by the researcher and to be facilitated by the retrieval of
responses.
A.Y. 2018 - 2019
Data Gathering Procedure
The researchers asked permission to conduct a research to the participants and addressed
to Ma'am Raquel M. Tabaday, Ma'am Michelle B. Estillore, and the Senior High School
Coordinator.
The researchers asked permission to the interviewee to be their participant. As far as data
collection tools were concerned, the conduction of the research involved the use of a semi-
structured questionnaire, wherein the researchers read the guide questionnaire to the participants.
The answered questions was significantly contributed to our collection of data on determining of
the Experiences of Student Boarders towards the selected grade 12 students of University of
Perpetual Help System Isabela Campus.
Treatment and Analysis of Data
The data that the researchers gathered through an interview from the selected Grade 12
student boarders of University of Perpetual Help System Laguna-Isabela Campus was
transcribed and interpreted from a video or voice recorded, as the participants agreed.
Ethical Considerations
The researchers assured that all the data gathered would be treated to utmost
confidentiality for privacy concern and to them that they can withdraw from the study anytime.
