Introduction

Background of the Study

One of the most frustrating problems in today’s classroom is tardiness.

Some teachers report that the first four to eight minutes of class almost a

waste of time are students struggle in deporting instruction. Tardiness has a

lot of impact especially to the students and to the teachers, because once of

the teacher begun teach his/her lesson a late student can interrupt the whole

class. According to and okpukpara chukkwuone (2007) they stated that late

coming to school is one of the major problems that have flanged many

schools. They also added that there is a big impact of this great penance of

learners and the functioning of the school.

In Baybay City Senior High school, many students were usually come

late to their classes because of tardiness. Many students were not serious

about attending class on time and they usually not see the importance of time

to each of us. Students here in Baybay City Senior High School, give a lot of

reasons on why they are late in coming to school. In Baybay City Senior High

School must of the students were located in mountainous area of the city,

they have to travel just to go to school and some of them are working

students. Their time was divided from their personal doings and from school.

From the study of Onyango on 2012, he stated that transport is one of

the major problem facing by the students to attend their classes at specific
time due to distance where the schools allocated. He also added that it is

difficult for students to get to school in the morning by using public

transportation. Poor transport may accelerate lowly student attendance and

truancy which are the first signs of deterioration of school and quality

education.

From the study of Dekalb in1999 in where he stated that students are

absent from school for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, peer

pressure, poor relationship with teachers and administrators a disconnect

from their schools, lack of interest in the curriculum, bullying low self-esteem,

lack of appropriate social skills. Unfortunately truant consequences often lead

to increased costs to school and community.

According to the study of Varghese on 2014 in where he stated that the

environment inside the school also a cause for tardiness and absenteeism.

The behavior of the teacher, the place where the student sit, the peer group

and their social maturity levels. He also added that the location of the class

and first period especially the subject or the particular teacher in the class has

a great level of impact on the learning process as well as school tardiness.

Review of Related Literature and Conceptual Framework

Review of Related Literature

In our living where our culture not frown or displeasure at o willing say

anything about being early in school likewise for a work environment,

therefore in every at most individual, being early is not an actually a solemn

matter, compared with how being punctuality is being aware in western

culture and developed countries. (Breeze & Maikey C. and Woll, V. 2010).

According to the study of Varghese on 2014. He stated that will show in the

class after the first three months after the vocation. On the following months

problem of late comers were gradually decreasing but when the last two

months of the class every year, students will go for an early vacation and

students don’t come to school anymore.

From the study of Hughes (2014), he stated that this study will give the

profession an alternative solution about the problem of late coming of the

students. Its very alarming that 5-10% who were enrolled in the class were

come to school after their teacher starts his/her lessons. Arriving late to the

class may considered as irresponsible, because late students feel entitled

because of this study will help them to describe a technique used to reduce

students tardiness and can improved their class performances. Parent were

revealed some factors on why their children come to school late and it’s

because of something they do before they go to sleep at night, a live every

day, on how they look at their school. Is one of the major factors of being late

and as well as being today tardiness (Simeon, M. Olowoyo, M.M. 2017).

 From the past studies several factors were revealed from the study it

includes parental factors from the study of Oghuvwu in 2008, he stated that

being late of a student is because their parents will ask them to do somehow

chores, such as felling them to being something to the market even if it is

voluntarily or involuntary, it can be result of being late to school. The habit of

lateness is being copied from family members. The child that sees the father

always going late to work could also either voluntary or involuntary learn the

habit, thus go to school late also (Petemodes, 2001). According to Russel

(1990), he stated that the factors affecting chronically tardy students are both

in home and schools. More than half of the students personality begun in the

persons attitude at their home and school parents are the first teacher of a

students and teachers is the one where going to educate them to see what

would be the influence of each other.

In this study not just the family can affect student lateness and

tardiness but as well as transportation. From the study of Kgosi (2015). These

are several factors affecting students problems in terms of going to school

early. Transportation challenges is one of the major factor involve students

disregard or going to school easily, transportation are not reliable to access by

the students, especially students who are far away from school. Students felt

they could not easily priorities their responsibilities and duties of their studies

because of these factors. Transportation was identified as one of the major

factors that can come lateness and tardiness in school. It was influenced by

the late transportation, take parents and colleagues whose going to ride with

them and students prefer to choose the late one and by that factors students

may face theme selves to walk from the house to their schools involve it can
be the cause of late coming (Bataineh, 2014). Factors of being late is waking

up in the morning. some of the reasons are, because of the heavy traffic.

Household chores, vehicle breakdown and tack of responsibility why students

come late to school. Students forget that they need to go to school and

watching movies, that’s why students sleep late at night some of parents have

lots of commands and the distance between home from school are also

reasons that the student come late to school (Miguel, 2011). Geographical

location of school, students attitude towards the first subject of the day and

inadequate supervision

Of students activities by teacher and poor teaching methods among others

may also affect lateness on the part of students (Ailio, 2003). Transportation

and geographical locations of school can be the cause of being tardy and late

coming to school.

Many programs are producing positive result, but the evidence still

show disturbing sign of continuing up surge in late coming to school. Kids

nowadays has its own televise set on their own rooms, in where they still

watch will end and by that, late watching of movies can be result to tardiness

and late coming to school (Savage,2006). Students may involve in watching

to shows, movies or watching films at home involve they’re going to ignore the

time and become interested of the film and they forget that they should go to

school and ended up hurrying that can be resulted of being late to class

(Ukushi, 2004). According to Dafiaghor (2011). One of the factors will be

going to bed late at night in where it can be result of waking late and it is the

reciprocal of the term going to bed early, will wake up early as well. From that
watching televisions can cause of tardiness in school but several factors still

revealed from the study.

There are some factors that is involved in generating tardiness time of

that are the personality traits, self-esteem and anxiety. Some theorists

measured the tardiness as the “inbora quality” that they intentionally of

unintentionally get good things from it (Santillano, 2010). Some students

make interactions with some of their schoolmates or friends in where

socializing cab be the cause of tardiness. Hallways will be populated by those

students who socializing with some students. Where in it can be the result of

difficulties of passing through the hallways of the school. Lack of

administration and tardy lectures were also a factor that causes some

students to be late. When lecturers themselves come to his/her classes late,

teachers and administrators cant implement the tardy policy (Moore,2010).

From the study of Perveen and Kazmi (2013), they sated that there is a

factors that can cause students to come late to class. Especially when they

notice that their teacher is always tardy, they themselves can be also tardy

because of the no life or boring lectures of the teachers. By this, it can result

to tardiness.

Tardiness gives a very strong impact on the academic achievements of

students. Campus administrators can amend that can help improved the

punctuality of the students. Tardiness should be given a great consideration

as a factor impacting both cognitive and non- cognitive development and

educate students that every minutes do matter each one of us ( Taylor,2013.
