KEEPING YOU IN PRACTICE

Practice Task 1: The Master Piece
Title of your research study: Every Second Count: Determining The Root Cause Of Sleep Deprivation By
Appraising Daily Routine And Its Link To Academic Performance

Practice Task 2: Guess who?

Scope and Delimitation:
This study aims to determine the root cause of sleep deprivation by assessing the daily routine of
students in the STEM strand who are engaged in modular and online learning and to determine if it has a
significant relation to their academic performance. This study will consider the student's personal information
such as their name, gender, age, and section. The respondents of the study are male and female students from
Grade 11 and Grade 12 enrolled in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Strand in
Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School in the school year 2020-2021. The study will be conducted
from the second week of April 2021 to the second week of June 2021. The researcher will randomly choose
respondents from different sections to prevent bias which each of the respondents will answer through an online
survey questionnaire. This study hoped to give information and awareness about the research purpose
determining the root cause of sleep deprivation by evaluating their daily activities related to academic
performance.

Practice Task 3: Signify the Importance

Importance of the study:
The study must conduct to determine the root cause of sleep deprivation by assessing their daily routine
and the extent of the effects on academic achievement among students in the STEM strand of Speaker Eugenio
Perez National Agricultural School (SEPNAS). Students, parents, teachers, school administration, readers,
scholars, prospective researchers, and other individuals can benefit from the findings of this analysis because
this will provide empirical data as a basis for recommendations on evaluating everyday activities to determine
the root cause and effects of sleep deprivation on their academic achievements.
The Students. The study will benefit students who are experiencing sleep deprivation. It can give them
information about the effect of sleep deprivation on academic achievements and common causes of sleep
deprivation. This paper can guide to focus and give attention to what Sleep deprivation can bring to us? They
will be more conscious of the said effects and for them to realize that lack of sleep has effects on Academic
Achievements.
The Parents. The study will also benefit the parents who can educate/realize their role as parents to
advise their child's great version in guiding their children. Divert them from sleep deprivation and lead them to
manage their time. Likewise, this study will give knowledge about the root causes of sleep deprivation and the
effects on their academic achievements.
The Teachers. The study will also benefit the teachers about the consequences and general causes of
sleep deprivation. Thus, it enables them to guide and advise their beloved students. And even aware "why some
students had problems such as fatigue and depression. They can understand their students somehow if someone
suffers from sleep deprivation.
 The School Administration. This study will also benefit the school administration (Guidance
Counsellor). It will provide them information on the importance of knowing the effects of sleep deprivation on
one academic achievement. It is one way that administrators will intensify Awareness of sleep deprivation.
Improve the knowledge through seminar/ programs of teachers, parents, and other associations so they can deal
with the other way or forms to guide every student from the effects of sleep deprivation
The General Population. This study would also allow the general population to gain more insights
about sleep deprivation and widen knowledge about its possible effect to them.
The researchers hope that the result of this study would also be a great help to future researchers by serving as
their reference in conducting parallel studies.

Practice Task 2: #Relate ME

Related Literature:
Some 2012 research also suggests that sleep helps cement the things we have learned during the day into
long-term memory. Support for this idea stems from a number of sleep deprivation studies demonstrating that a
lack of sleep has a serious impact on the ability to recall and remember information (Born & Wilhelm, 2012).

B. Related Study:
According to the repair and restoration theory of sleep, sleeping is essential for revitalizing and restoring
the physiological forms that keep the body and intellect solid and properly working. This theory suggest that
NREM sleep is vital for reestablishing physiological capacities, whereas REM sleep is essential in mental
functions.

Practice Task 3: Introduce my Study

 Thomas Dekker once said, “Sleep is the golden chain that binds health and our bodies together.” And as
the quote suggests, sleep is an important factor that contributes to the productivity of the body. It is a vital
component of every person's overall health and well-being but it is often neglected.
As reported by Medical Journal Pediatrics, in the past twenty years, there are general decreases in
adolescent sleep. And especially right now that we’re facing a pandemic, there is an upsurge in cases of many
individuals who presume that it tremendously affects their sleep quality. Thus, studies regarding that also have
risen.
Education is one of the sectors that extremely affected by the pandemic. Hence, School Year 2020-2021
shifted to distance learning delivery. The option for studying increases due to implemented safety protocols.
There are modular, online, and blended learning. And so apart from the anxiety, the students get due to the
pandemic, they still need to adjust to the new education system. Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural
School (SEPNAS) is one of the schools that switch to modular learning. So, students need to complete their
module before the due date but how can they manage their time if it coincides with their other doings.
Modular learning had a direct impact on students’ lack of sleep. After the switch to modular learning,
many students have taken the liberty to stay up later or sleep in longer. As a result, students’ sleeping patterns
are all over the place.
Sleep deprivation increases the chances of not being able to concentrate, poor grades, drowsy driving,
anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts, according to Stanford Medicine News Center. With all the changes
that have occurred throughout quarantine, students are slowly learning to adjust to this new lifestyle. This is
thereby supported by the Australian Victorian Government’s Better Health Channel, wherein they stated that
constant sleep deprivation can impact teens’ mental health, reducing their academic performance at school.
Studies found that sleep deprivation has a significant link to some health issues (Nacino, 2019) and has a
substantial effect on mood and motor and cognitive performance in humans (Pilcher and Huffcutt, 1996).
Inadequate sleep hygiene is common, as students often use technology and substances that compromise sleep
quality and quantity. This chronic sleep deprivation may impair academic performance, mood regulation, and
driving safety (Hershner and Chervin 2014).
Studies have suggested that insufficient sleep, increased frequency of short-term sleep, and going to
sleep late and getting up early affect the learning capacity, academic performance, and neurobehavioral
functions (Duarte J.et al, 2014).
There is growing evidence that social rhythms (e.g., daily activities such as getting into or out of bed,
eating, and adhering to a work schedule) have important implications for sleep (Carney et al., 2006). The
general belief is that students who exercise good study habits are likely to excel than those with poor study
habits. According to Sharma (2005), academic performance is a necessary evil because one kind of ability is
rewarded economically and socially more than others.
There is still a limited number of literature that directly links to the doings of the students in a typical
day on why they do their school works every night resulting in sleep deprivation.
Furthermore, the International and local researches conducted on this topic does not provide evidence
that the results transcend through different sections of students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) strand and the pandemic are also take into account.
It is in this light that the purpose of this study is to determine the underlying reasons why the student of
different year and section of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) strand is sleep
deprive based on their doings in a typical day and whether it possesses a significant connection on their
academic performance. Additionally, the reason why this study will be done is to address this trend, sleep
deprivation, by the concerned individuals.

Practice Task 2: Strike my Abstract
The global impact of Covid-19 is multifaceted and is manifested in almost all sectors. The field of
education is one of the most affected and it needed a lot of flexible methods to get through this pandemic
without sacrificing the health of students. Implementation of different learning modalities such as Online,
Modular and Blended Learning became the solution to continue learning despite the height of the pandemic.
But this is not the end of the problem. Many challenges emerged while studying in a modular type of modality.
Learning coincides with other children's responsibilities and cases of sleep deprivation are also increasing. So
this research aims to determine what causes sleep deprivation base on the daily routine of the students and if it
has a significant correlation to academic performance. There are 210 respondents from various sections of the
Grade 12 Academic Track of Speaker Eugenio Perez National Agricultural School.
Majority of the respondents are female 18 years old students whose family earns a monthly income of
9,520 or lower. There is a significant correlation between daily activities and sleep deprivation and there is also
a significant correlation between the sleep deprivation and academic performance of the respondents.
