INTRODUCTION
According to the National Center for Education and Statistics, 20.5 million students are
projected to enroll in United States (U.S.) high schools in Fall 2017. Nearly eight million of
these young people are formally involved in team sports (National Collegiate Athletic
Association, 2018). These College students will herein be referred to as Scholar-Athletes. In this
context, the word “Scholar” refers to a student who develops a broad holistic approach to
education that includes learning about everything from science and math to art, language and
major subjects. “Athlete” refers to students committed to achieving high performance and
success in a wide variety of sports from basketball and volleyball to fencing and archery.
According to the document “NCAA Recruiting Facts,” 5–6 percent of the Scholar-Athletes who
graduated from high school in 2017 will play NCAA collegiate sports (National Collegiate
Athletic Association, 2018).
The purpose of this study is to recognize and awaken academic potential, as well as
physical and intellectual perseverance, in today's Scholar-Athletes who seek to achieve
successful careers outside of sport and thus make lifelong contributions to society. This review
recognizes the need for Scholar-Athletes to tap into skill-sets they already possess, but need to
develop, in order to successfully complete their education and attain meaningful and fulfilling
careers. It starts with all the athletes getting ready a month before entering the class, but before
they can play they are given the conditions to stay to be given free education they are given a
few months to be ready for their respective games but it is necessary to still have a high grade
due to the conditions given, but this is the reason why it is difficult for them to synchronize it
because of tasks and responsibilities.
The scholar -athlete starts on the days when relatively little work is done, if September
begins exam day is approaching for the first semester, it is also the preparation for the provincial
game which includes the participation of the university, it also brings in the problems of how to
balance studies and game, There are times when it takes someone to be a priority to win the
game and pass the class.
Throughout the year there are games being prepared and there are quizzes that are
expected to be able to study in order to pass the class, at the beginning of the month of January
all the players are preparing for the bigger competition of the regional meet, it is necessary to
pay more attention because of the good participants and as a result the athletes have less time to
study and because of fatigue they are not able to do the assigned tasks.
high school no longer came naturally to me. I can still remember sweat dripping down my back
as my clammy palms flipped through the pages of my first exam, checking the coversheet to
make sure it was actually my chemistry exam and not some foreign language. I soon realized
that I was signing up for classes that I thought I should take rather than classes that sparked my
intellectual curiosity and interest. Once I changed my mindset, I found that I genuinely enjoyed
going to class, and this was reflected in my grades.
All scholar-athletes are rested after a series of competitions to focus on activities and
projects for those who pass and maintain sufficient grades to remain in their respective
scholarship privileges and at the end of their year as students they are prepared again for the
most important competition of student athletes this is the national competition which consists of
various schools throughout the Philippines and the participants here are only the strongest and at
the same time this is the last exam and they need to be prepared to pass it and be able to
continue their studies next year.
The basis of this study is to determine, the academic performance of Scholar- Athletes, of
the University of St. La Salle, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. And to develop an integrated
skill-set that includes teamwork, a strong work ethic, commitment, leadership, time
management, and physical and emotional health.

Definition of Terms
Academic Performance
Being a student athlete is a lot of responsibilities such working and studying, the duties
involve much more than a few hours of practice, game time and to study, Student-athletes are
expected to get involved in game in compliance meetings, additional team workouts, showing
up for publicity and media events, dedicating a certain number of hours to local community
service and possibly even recruiting weekends.
Challenges
Student athlete also has a challenge to not just in their sports but also in their academics,
studying, practicing and having a social life. Nevertheless, it’s easy for student-athletes to fall
into emotional instability due to stress coming from multiple directions which is what we want
to prevent, as it might lead to a spiral of negative effects. The key to achieving stability is
establishing a mentality towards pressure which enables you to use pressure constructively.
Commitment
Quality of being dedicated to a cause, it’s a self-decision to stick to your goals to
improve the future and a promise that turn into reality as to do the agreement of the obligation.
Hindrance
Student athletes generally face challenges, like balancing their athletic and academic
responsibilities, balancing social activities with athletic responsibilities,
balancing athletic success and or failures with emotional stability, balancing physical health, this
are the obstacles of being a student athlete.
Leadership
The art of motivating a group of people to act toward achieving a common goal. In a
business setting, this can mean directing workers and colleagues with a strategy to meet the
company's needs.
Scholarship
Scholarship is distributed for students with different abilities in their field, there are
different privileges that the school gives, for example the full scholarship, 100%, 75%, 50% and
25% it depends on the state and their ability.
Page 9 of 38
Team Work
Generally understood as the willingness of a group of people to work together to achieve
a common aim. For example, we often use the phrase “he or she is a good team player”. This
means someone has the interests of the team at heart, working for the good of the team.
Time Management
Studying and working as a college athlete is not for the faint of heart, but also. There is
an immense amount of responsibility that college athletes have to manage physically and
mentally. Time management matter for student-athletes in the academic sense, but also in the
social and mental aspect, one reason is to avoid depression and stress. Having a social life
creates an outlet and an opportunity for students to do what interests them and relieves stress.
Work Ethics
Set of values based on the ideals of discipline and hard work. Forming good habits such
as focusing, staying motivated, finishing tasks immediately, and more helps to create a good
Conceptual Framework
The students athletes in the university of St. La Salle have battled over the academic
requirements necessary to receive athletes scholarships, eligibility requirements and even the
advising of student athlete, being a student athletes provides discipline that will balance their act
and managing a work out and practice schedule to fit in necessary class, tutoring and any other
social aspects of their life, learning discipline will prepares the Athletes for the future of a career
and family life especially when it comes to time managements. Athletes will also have a great
opportunity to pay for a good part of their college through scholarship. That not everyone gets to
experience, being a college athlete is much more rigorous when it comes to maintain education,
it is requires much more focus that goes beyond the classroom and beyond a college campus.
Having an opportunity as a student athlete allows one to work, with an elite group of people
many other students do not have any chance of knowing. Beyond the court or field after college,
being an athlete requires a lot of socialization, communication skills, and team building.

Leadership
As stated by Navarro, Kristina And Malvaso, Stephen (2015) The study is about
leadership of an athlete, often know how to recognize leadership but struggle to master
techniques to exemplify leadership characteristics during their college experience, student-
athletes has drastically increased. With this visibility comes enhanced responsibility to represent
oneself, one's team, and one's university. In turn, it is of heightened interest for higher education
and intercollegiate athletics practitioners to understand how to best foster leadership skills for
this unique population that garners enhanced media attention. A survey was employed to
analyze the relationship between gender and student-athletes' perceived effectiveness of the
program's curricular components. Findings displayed no widespread significant impact of
gender on perceived effectiveness. To improve student-athlete leadership development
programs considering gender differences and the student-athlete voice.
As stated by Porath, C. L., Gerbasi, A., & Schorch, S. L. (2015). Workplace incivility is
rampant and, on the rise, —with costs to individuals and organizations. Despite the increased
need for civility, little is known about potential individual benefits of civility, defined as
behavior involving politeness and regard for others in the workplace, within workplace norms
for respect (Andersson & Pearson, 1999). Recent research has suggested that being civil may be
hazardous to influence, power, and income (see Forni, 2002; Judge et al., 2012). Yet, throughout
history, civil behavior has been extolled because it paid dividends to the person who behaved
well. The focus of this research is whether that holds true in organizations. Using social
exchange theory, we developed hypotheses about how civility benefits people, and investigated
this in 2 studies. First, in a 2-wave social network study of a research and development
department (n = 31) of a biotechnology firm, we found that people who perceived a colleague as
civil would be more likely to seek that person out for work advice and to see that person as a
leader. The more the individual was perceived as civil by others in his or her network, the better
his or her performance. Being sought out for work advice and being viewed as a leader mediated
this effect. In the second experiment (n = 162), we extended our understanding of what drove
these benefits. We found that people who are civil were perceived as warm and competent, and
these positive perceptions, in turn, helped to explain the benefits garnered. We discuss
theoretical and practical implications. (APA PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights

Teamwork
As stated by Paige Maslen (2015), Team sports are about so much more than their
physical benefits. This is especially so when group sports activities are incorporated
into a young person’s life, Team athletes are constantly working with a slate of other
people, many of whom can become positive role models along the way. Team sports
foster mentorship between older players and younger players, coaches and athletes,
and more. Coaches in particular can play an important role in a young athlete’s life.
Players who have positive sports mentors when they’re young are also more likely to
seek effective role models throughout their life. Soft skills are personal attributes that
Page 16 of 38
allow people to build positive social relationships. Team sports are an excellent
source of soft skills development, as they allow athletes to grow within a supportive
environment. Teamwork is all about collaborating with others to reach a common
goal. The diverse pairing of personalities and scenarios will help your athlete become
adaptable, persistent, and patient. Team sports also teach a sense of group and
individual responsibility.
As stated by Samatha Rosario (2015). A sports team cannot be successful without a joint
effort to achieve a positive result. Good teamwork requires cooperation, coordination, and
accountability of everyone on the team. The implementation of strategies and goals implies
active participation of all team members to continuously work on improving team performance
through organization and planning. Every sports team has a leader, sometimes it is a coach,
other times it is a veteran player. Either way, they are powerful guides able to motivate a group
of people to perform beyond their current capabilities. This happens in individual sports as well,
often leaning on a coach or trainer to help guide and motivate towards success. Even if you
aren’t the current leader, being surrounded by these strong personalities able to change the
feeling in a room has a positive effect on everyone, and can teach through action.
leaders, both formal (e.g., the captain) and informal (such as motivators and cultural architects)
can have a significant impact upon a range of team-related factors including satisfaction,
cohesion, and team dynamics. However, the mechanisms through which this impact occurs are
less well understood. Also, while the development of leadership skills has been proposed as an
important aspect of coach development programmes there is very little consensus regarding the
approaches that should be adopted in developing athlete leaders and their associated leadership
skills. This paper reviews the existing literature relating to athlete leadership seeking to provide
clarity regarding current understanding. Building upon this base the paper then highlights future
areas for research and theoretical development
Time Management
As stated by jake new (2015). Most college athletes say they spend as much or more time
on sports during the off-season as they do during the season, leaving them little time for common
college student activities like studying, internships and part-time jobs. At a recent panel
discussion organized by the Big 12 Conference, a moderator asked four college athletes what
they thought of a number of proposals to reform college athletics.
Getting rid of late evening games? The athletes said they like playing during prime time.
Realigning the conferences so that athletes don’t have to travel so far? The athletes said they
enjoy traveling across the country. Requiring athletes to sit out their freshman year? It’s unfair
to those freshman players who don’t need remediation.
There was one issue that all four athletes agreed needed addressing, however: the amount of
time they spend on sports during the off-season. “I don’t need to be in the gym six days a week
in June to stay in shape,” Sune Agbuke, a women’s basketball player at Baylor University, said.
It’s not a new complaint, but it’s one the athletes said continues to be largely overlooked by
those hoping to reform college sports. Juggling athletics and course work during the season is
expectedly difficult, they said, but athletes often feel just as overworked in the off-season.
And for some college athletes, the off-season can be even more draining.
Page 18 of 38
“In-season, it’s understood that we don’t perform well [during games] when we’re dead tired,”
Agbuke said, meaning coaches know not to push athletes too hard during workouts and practice,
a concern that isn’t as pressing during the off-season. “Commitments out of season could use
some work.” According to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the majority of college
athletes say there's little difference between off- and playing seasons.
It is difficult to implement the time management strategies in the student life but
prioritization makes them enable to feel peace and relaxation in their studies. The study was
conducted in order to explore new ways of achieving the desired performance in academia
(Macan et al, 2015).
As stated by Raphael Uribe (2016) Time Management is another focal point of a student
athlete. This provides organization and discipline to a student athlete’s life.
As stated by The Egyptian Journal of Hospital Medicine Many students could not
manage their times efficiently before being students in college since they did not have any
challenges or difficulties in high school. However, the case changed completely when they are
attending college. Being a student in college means that the responsibility is bigger and the
courses are more difficult than what they were in high school. aimed to determine the
relationship between the time management skills and academic performance of students, to
assess time management and practice among students, to determine patterns of time
management among Jazan University students. In addition to determine whether student
participation in extra-curricular activities and social media correlates to his or her cumulative
grade point average (CGPA).
As stated by Steve Bageant (2017) The most obvious challenge faced by student athletes
is the time demands their heavy schedules place upon them as compared to the time demands of
nonathletes.
Page 19 of 38
As stated by Ana Felce (2018) Time management will be crucial to your success. You’ll
be juggling hours of practice, games, and travel on top of your academic responsibilities.
As stated by Owen Sammarone (2018) Millions of individuals take the leap after high
school to attend a two or four-year university. During the first couple years of college, students
are introduced to the challenges and obstacles of balancing their time. This balance may include
academics, clubs, sports, social events, and all of the above.
Time management skills are considered as the issue resolving techniques that can be
used by the students to manage study and sports (Hamatani, 2019).
Time management has always been important in the world of athletics. With the
academic year in full swing and collegiate teams across the country working hard, student
athletes are busier than ever. Balancing academics, athletics and a social life is no walk in the
park (Kelsey Mitchell, 2020).
As stated by Parsons, Jennifer (2015) Athletes must successfully balance the dual role of
athlete and student despite time-constraints and competing external pressures from both athletic
and academic entities. The purpose of this study was to examine how athletes believed
professors perceived and treated them at a small, private, comprehensive NCAA Division 11
university. For this investigation, 252 athletes completed a survey, which provided both
quantitative and qualitative data. Chi-square tests were used to analyze the quantitative data sets
and inductive analysis was used to develop themes from the qualitative responses. The
participants in this study reported positive academic habits like attending class regularly, turning
assignments in on time and respectable grade point averages. Even with the evidence of the
positive academic habits and success, some data such as negative remarks made by professors in
class and issues surrounding missed class due to team travel revealed the presence of an athletic
stigma on this campus. Although this stigma existed, the participants' reported an overall
perception and treatment from professors as positive with only 12% of the participants
indicating a negative perception.
As stated by Nikola Grafnetterova, Hilda Cecilia Contreras Aguirre, & Rosa M. Banda
Despite the nation’s critical need, National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) Division I
studentathletes represent a small portion of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
(STEM) graduates. STEM undergraduate student-athletes benefit from the assistance of
academic and athletic advisors; this study explored their experiences with this dual advising.
Grounded in Terenzini and Reason’s (2005) comprehensive model of influences on student
learning and persistence, the findings highlighted the importance of effective communication
and cross-campus collaboration among academic and athletic advisors to support STEM
student-athletes. Specifically, participants depicted support, stability, suppleness, and skill as
components of effective dual advising of STEM student-athletes. However, the study exposed
confusion about the academic and athletic units’ roles and responsibilities that diminished the
effectiveness of the collaborative efforts.
Physical Health
Wyrwas (2018) People tend to think of mental disorders as something that happens to
someone else - “It doesn’t affect me, I’m not an insane person”. There are multiple aspects of
mental health - from serious disorders like Schizophrenia or Bipolar disorder to anxiety, mild
depression, eating disorders or substance abuse. Young people often refuse to admit that they
suffer from a disorder or look for help, partly due to insufficient knowledge, and partly because
of fear of negative reactions from their peers. The truth is that, among students, anxiety,
depression and eating disorders are extremely common. According to mental health research
conducted by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), one in four students has a
diagnosable mental illness. Stress from exams, pressure from peers and family - pressure to do
well at the university and to go out socialise and have fun. Going away on an exchange may for
sure add to that - it is an additional challenge that can sometimes make you feel more stressed
and on edge.
Cleofas (2019) mental health disorders produce a sizeable burden to its victims.
Literature suggests that mental illness can cause days out of work, loss of productivity, financial
drain from treatment costs, family and caregiver stress and loss of life (Bronsard et al., 2016;
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011).
Page 21 of 38
Magsambol (2020) the mental health issues students experience during distance learning
are due to an "interplay" of factors, said one of the country's top psychiatrists, who added that
such issues cannot be solely attributed to the difficulties of the revamped education system.
Staff writer (2021) being a student is stressful, but trying to juggle school work and other
responsibilities while experiencing mental illness can make it even harder. According to the
National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), approximately one in five youth aged 13–18 live
with mental health conditions and approximately 75 percent of people with mental health issues
develop them prior to the age of 24. Mental health conditions can feel debilitating and scary,
making some learners retreat inward rather than seek help. Students, parents, and educators
looking for information can find many resources in this guide to help them live their best lives.
Gold (2021) Though an exciting time in many young adults' lives, college can also
introduce struggles such as social pressures to conform or experiment with drugs and alcohol,
problems achieving work-life balance, impostor syndrome, and a lack of sleep. College students
may also feel disconnected from their support systems back home as they encounter new people,
values, and life experiences.
Commitment
Mclntyre (2016) making a real commitment means that you try harder, you look for
innovative solutions when faced with obstacles, you don’t consider quitting as an option, you are
persistent and extremely resilient. In addition, a meaningful commitment gives you a possible
script for how to handle things when times get tough.
Srivastava (2018) commitment is not merely a promise that one makes to do something.
It entails dedication, ability to work hard and bear infinite fortitude. Staying committed to your
goal is one of the most fundamental principles of success. The goals can vary from leading a
healthier life, having a better relationship, or approaching result in work, but commitment
remains an essential ingredient.
Roomer (2019) when you’re truly committed to a goal, you do the work despite not
feeling like it. You work on your goals even though you’d rather sleep in. You defy the cold and
rain for it. You break old destructive patterns for it. And you push through any obstacle that
comes in your way. The stronger your commitment, the more likely you are to succeed as you
refuse to give up or give in. You make more disciplined and productive decisions — and are
more willing to go out of your comfort zone. That’s what it takes to achieve success.
Stevens (2020) a commitment can be a fixed goal like climbing a peak, finishing a book,
meeting a deadline, paying taxes on time, or running a marathon and finishing. However, a
commitment can also be more of a process like commitment to a marriage, a monastic path, a
commitment to excellence in work, or always telling the truth no matter what. Sometimes the
commitment is to another person but more often it is to ourselves, or at times it may include
both.
Page 22 of 38
Finnigan (2020) commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words
that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions that speak louder than words. It is making
time, when there is none, coming through time after time, year after year. Commitment is the
stuff character is made of, the power to change the force of things. It is the daily triumph of
integrity over skepticism.
Work ethic
Lavalle (2015) successful athletes are accustomed to working through tough situations
and know that energy is needed not just on game day, but in the countless hours leading up to it.
In a young technology company, you don’t release a new product or land a big new account
every day. Most of our time is spent preparing for these big events. Our team understands the
concept of deferred gratification -- that success is only possible with a lot of hard work outside
the spotlight. We also understand that it is not just the most talented athlete who wins. Hard
workers beat much more gifted companies as often as not.
Heathfield (2019) having a strong work ethic involves upholding the values and goals of
the company by performing your job to the best of your ability. It means focusing on completing
assigned tasks on time. Work ethic refers to a set of key moral values that guide individuals
towards successfully completing their work in a formal environment.
Cote (2019) so the next time you see a job ad that requires candidates with a strong work
ethic, understand that you’ve got to own a series of abilities – like professionalism or punctuality
– that will help you (and your future employer, of course) deliver work within a set of agreed
rules. We’ll go into all of these skills you need to cover for the strong work ethic aspect later on
in the article. Realistically though, work ethic means different things to different people. While
some see it as the guiding force behind an employee’s motivation at work, others regard it
simply as being a complete list of skills that companies need to get their projects done.
More controversial than its simple definition remains whether or not a strong work ethic is
something you’re born with or can learn.
Marlene (2019) we’ve all been there, that feeling of intense fatigue as soon as your alarm
clock goes off. The strong lack of motivation driving to work or school. The feeling cripples our
productivity levels and raises cortisol (stress hormone), making us very unhappy and
unenthused.
Elliott (2020) whether you are working at a job or studying at school, developing a good
work ethic can be critical to success. Different fields prioritize different characteristics and
qualities, but any good work ethic involves good time management, focus, and dedication.
Developing an effective work ethic is the KEY to finding success in and outside of the
workplace or college classroom! A good work ethic will make you a more valuable employee as
well as a very diligent and prosperous student. But how do you develop or improve your work

ethic?
Psychological Health
As stated by Jim Golby, Phillippa Wood (2016), the effects of a psychological skills
intervention (PST) designed to enhance the mental toughness and psychological well-being of
student-athlete rowers (N = 16). Within this context, PWB was conceptualized by an
amalgamation of the following psychological constructs; self-esteem, perceived self-efficacy,
positive affect and dispositional optimism. Progress was examined at three times evenly
dispersed over the course of the six-month intervention, pre-, mid- and post-intervention. The
intervention was solution-focused and informed by Dweck’s (2009) theory of a growth mindset
and Goldberg’s (1998) psychological strategies to develop mental toughness. The study design
was a 2 (group) × 3 (time) two-way MANOVA with repeated measures on one factor (time).
Various measures of mental toughness and positive psychological constructs were utilised. Over
the course of the intervention, MT significantly improved, in addition to perceived self-efficacy,
self-esteem and positive affect. Positive significant relationships were observed between
components of MT and each of the positive measures; which lends support to the
conceptualization of MT as a positive psychological construct which fosters positive
psychological states (Clough & Strycharczyk, 2012) . Further research is warranted to examine
the development of MT on negative psychological constructs.
The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine convened a panel of experts to
provide an evidence-based, best practices document to assist sports medicine physicians and
other members of the athletic care network with the detection, treatment, and prevention of
mental health issues in competitive athletes. This statement discusses how members of the sports
medicine team, including team physicians, athletic trainers, and mental health providers, work
together in providing comprehensive psychological care to athletes. It specifically addresses
psychological factors in athletes including personality issues and the psychological response to
injury and illness. The statement also examines the athletic culture and environmental factors
that commonly impact mental health, including sexuality and gender issues, hazing, bullying,
sexual misconduct, and transition from sport. Specific mental health disorders in athletes, such
as eating disorders/disordered eating, depression and suicide, anxiety and stress, overtraining,
sleep disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, are reviewed with a focus on
detection, management, the effect on performance, and prevention. This document uses the

Research Design
This had used of descriptive method of research. Descriptive research was used by
researchers to give them enough information about their study which concerns the academic
performance by the student athlete. This type of research describes a situation or given states of
affairs in terms of specified aspect or factors. As defined by Glass & Hopkins, (1984)
descriptive research involves gathering data that describe events and then organizes, tabulates,
depicts, and describes the data collection. The focus of this is on prevailing conditions, and how
a person, group, or thing behaves or function in the present. Furthermore, it was used to point
out the extent of relationship between variables used in the study.
Total enumeration will be used, this means that all the student athletes that are enrolled
as 2nd year and 3rd year students of USLS will be considered as participant. This study wants to
determine the qualification of Factor Influencing the (Academic Performances of Student
Athlete in University of St. La Salle) Researchers uses a survey as a research instrument, and
each item on the survey related to qualifications is subjected to allowing respondent feedback
answer and a 1–5 point Likert scale and “yes” or “no” choices . This way, the researcher can
describe the qualifications possessed by the student athletes of the University of St. La Salle.
This study aimed to determine the relationship of the student athletes to the academic
performance of the second year and third year varsity students of University of St. La Salle.
Only second year and third year were chosen because the admission and acceptance of new
athletes has stopped due to the pandemic and also because of k-12 the last batch was able to
finish so the first year student and fourth year student were not included and they were chosen
because only student -athletes qualified for this study.
The respondents of the study were taken from the specified year level as mentioned
above. Below is the table presenting the number of officially enrolled 2nd year and 3rd year
varsity students of University Of St. La Salle school year 2021-2022.
Instrumentation
We the researcher made an instrument and it was utilized to determine the academic
performance of the student athlete of the University of St. La Salle. It contained two main parts,
Part I, was used to know the participants profile such as name, age, sex, sport, year level, course
and scholarship percentage and Part II is set skill questions we use Likert scale evaluation and
contains dichotomous scale, which is composed of 10 items in inter related to academics and
inter related to sports event and their academic performance will determined based on their
Page 26 of 38
choices.
We the researcher had allotted vigorous time, effort and cooperation in developing our
research questionnaire to serve its intended respondent. The survey was made using suitable
questions and individual questions formed by the researchers. The survey comprised of two
parts. Part I is the participants profile such as name (optional), sex, age, course, year level,
sports, family status, family size, place of origin and scholarship percentage. And part II is open-
ended questions to provide specific answer and scale evaluation which were related to
participant’s possible interest.
As stated by Mike Allen 2017 that provides only two possible answers. This type of
question is especially prominent in educational assessments. The question becomes a closed-
ended question because the choices are supplied by the investigator. The questionnaire was
distributed in order to gather the relevant data. We used it to find out what the participants
wanted to choose and properly let them know what they wanted by choosing “yes” or “no”.
The researcher explained to the respondents about the importance of their response in the
study that we are conducting. The respondents were given time to respond. The instrument was
gathered after the respondents were finished answering. After collecting the questionnaire, it
was tallied, interpreted and analysed by the researcher.
Data Analysis
The data gathered for this study were organized, profiling, analysed and interpreted using
appropriate statistical tools to answer the identified research questions. The following were the
statistical processes considered for each stated problem
For the statement of the problem number 1, what is the profile of the research in terms of
their sports, sex, age, year level and family size, place of origin, course, and scholarship
percentage? The frequency percentage distribution was used.
Page 27 of 38
For the statement of the problem number 2, what is the scholar – athlete set skills in terms of
leadership, teamwork, time management, physical and emotional health, commitment, work
ethic? We make questions to provide specific and clear answer.
86-94 Always
81-85 Neutral
75-80 Never
74-below Almost Never
For statement of the problem number 3, the level of interest in both sport event’s
and academics. We provide questionnaire answer by checking () if the answer is “Yes
or No”.
Statistical Treatment
Ethical Consideration
In this statement before we conduct our survey, we made sure as a researcher, that the
participants understand the questions, also we assure that our topic will be about the academic
performances of university of St. La Salle and we the researcher assure that all of our data
gathering is given and also in our survey our participants is not force to answer the question,
and respecting their own decision, athletes are performed better in the classroom, they
developed impressive time management skills, felt motivated to complete their degree, they are
motivated to attend classes, and experienced a smoother transition into the college lifestyle, their
value lies in their ability to do more and also athletes they have to give respect and teamwork, as
well as will teach them lesson perseverance and honesty.
