ABSTRACT OF THE STUDY

It is said that social anxiety is one of the factors that affects students’ achievement or

performance in school. This research project desired to find if there is really an existing

relationship between social anxiety and academic achievement of the Junior High School

Students in Kodia Integrated School. This study utilized a quantitative design by providing

existing social anxiety scales to the respondents. Within the design, three analyses were used:

descriptive statistics, t test, and pearson r correlation coefficient. The findings agreed with the

null hypotheses of this study (p>.05) meaning it is true that there is no significant relationship

between social anxiety and academic achievements of the student respondents from Kodia

Integrated School because the p value is greater than (p=.674) the level of significance. Through

the findings of pearson r, it was found out that there is a negative correlation between the two

variables (r= -.087), meaning there is a weak relationship between the both of them.
