 ABSTRACT

Laysa, Zyrra Lou F., Fabiano, Kiven L., Potato, Angel Miles A., Sebanes,

College, Mambusao, Capiz, May 2022. Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

Anxiety: It’s Relationship to Academic Performance.

Adviser: Prof. Freden S. Delgado

The study was conducted to determine the level of Coronavirus Disease 2019

(COVID-19) anxiety and its relationship to academic performance in different learning

modalities of senior high school graduates enrolled at CAPSU Mambusao Satellite

College during the Academic Year 2021-2022. Specifically, it seeks to answer the

following questions: (1) What is the socio-demographic profile of the respondents in

terms of sex, parents’ educational attainment, household income, health status, place of

residence, type of high school graduated from, and learning modality in senior high

school?; (2) What is the level of COVID-19 anxiety of the respondents as an entire group

and when grouped according to sex, parents’ educational attainment, household income,

health status, place of residence, type of high school graduated from, and learning

modality in senior high school?; (3) What is the academic performance of the

respondents as an entire group and when grouped according to learning modality? (4) Are

there significant differences in the level of COVID-19 anxiety of the respondents when

grouped according to sex, parents’ educational attainment, household income, health

status, place of residence, type of high school graduated from, and learning modality in

senior high school?; (5) Is there a significant difference in the academic performance of
the respondents when grouped according to learning modality?; and (6) Is there a

significant relationship between level of COVID-19 anxiety and academic performance?

The researchers gathered the data from 154 randomly selected freshman students

using an adopted survey questionnaire.

In the interpretation of data, frequency count, percentage, mean, standard

deviation, ANOVA, t-test and Pearson’s r were used.

The study has the following findings:

As to the profile of the respondents, majority of the respondents were females,

mostly have mothers and fathers who reached high school only, have household income

of Php10,000 and below, without comorbidity, living in town or city proper, graduated

from public or State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), and modular distance learning as

their mode of learning in senior high school.

Most of the respondents were found to have “high” level of COVID-19 anxiety.

Regardless of sex, mother’s educational attainment, household income, health status,

place of residence, type of high school graduated from and learning modality,

respondents exhibited “high” level of anxiety. When grouped according to father’s

educational attainment, respondents whose fathers are elementary level, elementary

graduate, high school level, and high school graduate had “high” level of anxiety while

those whose fathers were college level and college graduate revealed “average” level of

anxiety.

Respondents were found to have a “satisfactory” academic performance amidst

distance learning during COVID-19 pandemic.

 There were no significant differences in the level of COVID-19 anxiety of the

respondents when grouped according to sex, parents’ educational attainment, household

income, health status, place of residence while schooling, type of high school graduated

from, and leaning modality.

There was no significant difference in the academic performance of the

respondents when grouped according to learning modality.

Finally, Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) anxiety was not significantly

related to academic performance.
