CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Extracurricular activities are non-academic

activities where each and every student can join. These
activities are a part of each and every student's
development which make them think not just in a plain
point-of-view of themselves and their own world that
surrounds them. Through their experiences from joining
extracurricular activities and learning from these,
students would be able to obtain it.

Some of the benefits of joining these activities

include the development of each students’ spiritual,
emotional, intellectual and body health. Also, students
would be able to experience how to become a leader on a
certain group, depending on the kind of activities which
they chose to join. They would be able to test themselves
on managing their time, decision-making, carrying the
group, how to handle their stress, and more.

It is not that easy to join in an extracurricular

activity in school. If a student won't be able to balance
their time due to the different activities they chose to
join, academic failure might happen. We should not forget
that if something has its own advantage, bear in minds
that it also has its disadvantage.

It is true that extracurricular activities are really

exciting which gives a reason to each and every student to
join some. Other students might think that it is easy, but
the truth is, some aren't able to manage their time and
are tired physically. Which led them to fail in academic.

Each student should prioritize their academics. They

need to prioritize, spare and give time for their studies
but some are still joining a lot of extracurricular
activities. Academic performance is very important for
students. Students must maintain their academic grades for
them to be prepared and be able to find their jobs in the
future. Academic performance refers to the way how

Senior High School 1

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy
Practical Research 2
students deal with their studies and to cope up and
accomplished each and every task given to them by their
teachers. It is the ability to study, remember and obtain
different facts from their lessons and being able to
communicate your knowledge verbally or down in a paper.

Performance, then, refers to the execution of a

particular action which has been accomplished. Whilst
learning performance deals with the way how a student
accomplished his studies, and his or her responsibilities
and duties.

This study will talk about the grades of those

students who are inclined extracurricular activities. It
aims to know if their grades were being affected by the
number of extracurricular activities that they are taking.

Students who are joining extracurricular activities

will be able to have ideas through the given information.
Studying about it will give benefit to each and every
student who are willing to join extracurricular activities
but are still unsure. And also, to those students who are
still not familiar about the said activities.

CHAPTER 2

Review of Related Literature

The purpose of this chapter is to provide the reader with

a comprehensive review of relevant literature and research
related to academic performance of the students and their
participation in extracurricular activities. The pieces of
information presented on this chapter will provide an
understanding of the related literature and is organized
into two section; the foreign studies and the local
studies, which are both related to the academic
performance and participation of students in
extracurricular activities.

Foreign Studies

Shurluf (2010) defined extracurricular activities

as those that are “external to the core curriculum.” Also,
Bartkus et. Al. (2012) defined extracurricular activities
as “academic or nonacademic activities that are conducted
under the auspices of the school but occur outside of
normal classroom time and are not part of the curriculum.

Bartkus et. al. (2012) stated that “extracurricular

activities do not involve a grade or academic credit and
participation is optional on the part of the student.” The
extracurricular activities experience has become an
important component of many students’ school lives today
(Feldman & Matjasko, 2005/2012). A more recent and more
comprehensive review of literature on extracurricular
activities for high school students in the United States
(Feldman & Matjasko, 2005) found that while such
activities are viewed as being highly important

Senior High School 6

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy
Practical Research 2
“developmental settings for adolescents,”little is
understood about the contextual influences affecting the
development , or the relationship between participation
and outcomes (pp. 160-161).

According to a study conducted by Kimiko Fujita,

participation in extracurricular activities affects
students’ performance. More specifically, studies have
been conducted assessing the effects of specific
extracurricular activities on academic performance. The
purpose of this study was to determine whether or not the
activities in which junior high school students choose to
participate if there is an effect on their academic
performance. The study’s survey instrument which was
distributed to students enrolled in grade 6 through 8 at
Walnut Creek Christian Academy during the 2004 - 2005
school year requested demographic information in addition
to the five Likert-type scale questions. The data revealed
that, according to the students surveyed, playing sports,
watching television, and participating in community
service improves academic performance, while playing a
musical instrument does not improve academic performance.
Therefore, it was concluded that extracurricular
activities affect academic performance and that the effect
depends on the specific activities in which the student is
involved.

Melnick,Sabo, Vanfossen (2013) stated that the

educational effects of interscholastic participation on
African-American and Hispanic boys and girl. While high
school athletic participation was for many a means of
being included in social youth groups. Other studies found
that athletics and the likehood of students dropping out
of school still more have found that participation in
sports is linked to improved school attendance, academic
outcomes, social relationships, and self-esteem.

Coleman (2010) concluded on his study that there

was no significant difference between athletes and
nonathletes. Coleman claimed that time and energy devoted
to extracurricular endeavors detracted students from
scholarly pursuits. He criticized the emphasis which

Senior High School 7

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy
Practical Research 2
schools place on students and his own theory was
maintained that the students choose to become involved in
those activities that deliver the greatest personal
reward.

The possible reasons of being inclined in

extracurricular activities is that athletics emphasizes
achievement factors that may carry over into academics,
such as hard work, persistence, self-improvement, and
preparation today for competition tomorrow, attention
given to athletes might lead to higher self-esteem,
athletes usually receive more scholastic career guidance
and encouragement (Rehberg Brent, 2012). Brent also found
out that there is a positive relationship between
participation and college aspirations in schools were
highly valued and reward.

On a study made by Khern Bole (2010), he stated

that extracurricular activities have fulfilled a variety
of functions since they first became part of the American
high school such as to provide opportunities to the
pursuit of established interests and the development of
new interests, to educate for citizenship through
experiences and and insights that stress leadership,
fellowship, cooperation and independent action to develop
school spirit and moral, to provide opportunities for
satisfying the gregarious urge of children and youth and
to encourage moral and spiritual development.

Gholson (2014) found out that the growth and

acceptance of extracurricular activities is that parents
enjoyed seeing their children perform, teachers enjoyed
student activities more than classroom activities,
teachers received more reward for success in the
extracurricular activities field than in academic work,
extracurricular activities grew as the country and nation
become more urban, resulting in fewer chores to keep kids
busy, extracurricular grew because they filled the
“boredom” of the small town.

According to Feldman & Matjasko (2005/2012), the

experience of participating in extracurricular activities

Senior High School 8

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy
Practical Research 2
has become an important and regular component of students’
school lives.

Base on the study conducted by Rutledge, Cohen-

Vogel, Osborne-Lampkin, & Roberts (2012), they found out
that teachers should increase rigor in classroom and
students should take more challenging classes.
Extracurricular programs have continued to grow and have
been accepted as an educational element of the total
school program. Student participation in extracurricular
activity programs has increased as parents and educational
leaders have urged students to remain in school.

According to a study conducted by Brien Rollefson

in 2010, he found out that participants in athletics had
higher GPAs than nonparticipants, yet stated that these
results were misleading. He also found out that the two
possible reasons for this difference are: [1] Higher
grades are generally associated with characteristics of
students who choose to participate in athletics and [2]
eligibility requirements prevent students with poorer
grades from participating or may serve as incentive to
perform better.

Base on the study conducted by Reeves Wanes (2010),

it showed that more than 2,000 students drastically
improved in academics and their behavior. Although there
are many changes that led to these results, the most
significant result that have been found out was the 100%
increase in the participation of students in
extracurricular activities. Data analysis on a school,
showed that students who took part in three or four
activities have better grades than those students who had
no participation, thus this has been concluded that if
only schools could make a commitment in extracurricular
participation, the entire school community especially the
students, will benefit.

Extracurricular activities play an important role

in the school lives of students. To understand the effect
of extracurricular activities on the academic performance
in secondary school, Abizada, Gurbanova, Iskandarova and
Nadirzada (2020) consider public schools in Azerbaijan and

Senior High School 9

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy
Practical Research 2
analyze the effect of extracurricular activities on
students’ academic performance. They conducted a study
investigating three groups of extracurricular activities:
sports, fine arts, and student clubs. For data on academic
performance, they used results of a centralized state
school examination which assesses students in two
subjects: language of instruction (either Azerbaijani or
Russian) and Mathematics. It shows on their study that
some extracurricular activities have a positive effect on
students’ academic performance, while others show no
effect. Moreover, they consider the number of different
extracurricular activities a student takes part in and
analyze the significance of this number in predicting
student success.

Local Studies

Mary Grace Garcia and Gener Subia (2019) conducted

a study to describe the motivation, study habits, self-
discipline, and academic performance among 83 high school
student-athletes of Palayan District, Nueva Ecija,
Philippines. They found out, in terms of motivation, the
respondents were driven to prepare, train hard and make
personal sacrifices to achieve excellence and to get in
the winner’s circle. However, they need improvement in
identifying life skills and determining a career
direction. In terms of the study habits, the athletes gave
their best effort on exams and quizzes, participating in
class activities and discussions and in submitting all
academic requirements that they’ve missed right after the
competition. Nonetheless, they need to improve on
completing assignments on time and in working
independently on assignments and other school projects. As
to self-discipline, they strongly agreed that their
participation in school athletics helps them develop
better time management skills and they became prepared
thoroughly, show discipline and stay focus with the plan.
Nevertheless, they need to become more responsive to their
academic works. Lastly, their academic performance was
found to have a significant relationship with
participation in school athletics. Thus, this only means

Senior High School 10

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy
Practical Research 2
that the higher the academic performance, the higher was
the participation of the respondent in school athletics.

Capuno, Necesario, Etcuban, Espina, Padillo, and

Manguilimotan (2019) conducted a study in a public
National High School in the Mandaue City Division, Cebu,
Philippines to determine the attitudes, study habits, and
academic performance of Junior High School students in
Mathematics. The respondents were the 177 grade 9 students
enrolled in Mathematics. The academic performance of the
students on mathematics was measured based on their first
quarter grade, which was retrieved from the Registrar’s
Office. The study revealed that those respondents had
positive attitudes towards mathematics in terms of its
value while they had a neutral attitude when it comes to
their self-confidence, enjoyment, and motivation in
mathematics. Also, the study shows that there was a
negligible positive correlation between the attitudes and
academic performance of the respondents in terms of their
self-confidence, enjoyment, and motivation while there was
a weak positive correlation between the value of math and
their academic performance in math. It was concluded that
student’s attitudes and their study habits are significant
factors that affect their performance in mathematics. The
researchers strongly recommend the utilization of the
enhancement plan in the teaching of mathematics to junior
high school students.

A study was conducted by Asuncion and Roy (2010)

regarding the attitude towards physical activities among
the 57 children, who were the respondents, ranging in age
from 9 to 11 years. They found out that children of
different age group differed significantly in their
attitudes towards physical activity.

Alice Salno and Cris Hernandez (2011) conducted a

study regarding the participation of young adult in high
school activities and identity group as predictors of
later substance use, psychological adjustment, and
educational and occupational outcomes. They found out that
both participation and identity may consolidate specific

Senior High School 11

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy
Practical Research 2
skills, attitudes, values, and social networks that have a
far-ranging impact on the transition to adulthood.

Prince Burnardino surveyed the behavior of 2,500

students’ use of out-of-school time, and he found out that
there is an only 17% reported having no involvement in
out-of-school activities. Extra-curricular participants
were less likely to shoplift, steal, smoke cigarettes,
ride with a drunk driver, or damage property. They were
more likely to develop their self-confidence and social
competence, demonstrate leadership, and feel accepted by
adults.

Asian Institute for Teacher Educators at Quezon

City, Philippines, discovered current practices in
assessing students in training and to determine their
suitability for teaching. They used a questionnaire in
covering four different areas: Course Subjects, Practical
Teaching, Co-curricular activities and Extra-curricular
activities. They found out that the profile of the
students who were assessed as good candidates show that
they are very much interested in extra-curricular
activities and were sincere participants in these
activities during school time.

Vince Tactan (2010) found, on his research work on

children between the ages of 5 and 14, that they spend up
to 80% of their time out of school. These hours represent
an opportunity to help children grow and acquire important
social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills and to
help them develop life-long interests. This time can also
be used to provide support for the academic challenges
faced by children each day in school. Out-of-school time
programs provide opportunities for young adolescents to
learn skills that are not usually required in school, such
as athletic and artistic performance skills.

On a study conducted by Bonimar Afalla (2020), he

determined the positive and negative impacts of extra-
curricular activities (ECAs) and its relationship with the
academic performance of students in a state university in
the Philippines. He found out that male and single
students exceptionally considered engaging in ECAs as a

Senior High School 12

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy
Practical Research 2
chance to enrich their leadership skills and expand their
friendship with new acquaintances. Older students with
family responsibilities and who came from higher levels
critically experienced failing to beat targets, limiting
their time for review and sacrificing their academic
undertakings.

Pabobat (2013) reviewed the link between

extracurricular activities and student’s motivation and
found that extracurricular activities, appeals to
students’ interests, encourage peer interaction, prompt-
cooperation, build student-adult relationships, provide
structure and challenge, and draw students, especially
minorities and women students toward school.

Narsiso (2013) found that School-age children and

teens who are unsupervised during the hours after school
are far more likely to use alcohol, drugs and tobacco,
engage in criminal and other high-risk behaviors, receive
poor grades, and drop out of school than those children
who have the opportunity to benefit from constructive
activities supervised by responsible adults.

Sampling Procedure

Researchers will conduct the study among the Junior

High School students of Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy.
The respondents who will be given questionnaires, for
researchers to gather information, are those who are
inclined to extracurricular activities. Prior to the
Pandemic, a lot of extracurricular activities are allowed
not until the COVID-19 emerged. In connection to this,
those junior high school students who will become the
respondents of the study are those students who are part
of the Batch 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 completers. The
researchers will collect the information needed from them
and be able to use it for further analyzation and
examination. Researchers will examine the relationship of

useful information and extract data from the respondents.
The data that will be gathered, on this study, through the
use of questionnaires.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data gathered from the study was carefully

recorded in tables, analyzed and interpreted accordingly
based on the results of the statistical treatment.

In order to answer question regarding the profile of

the respondents in terms of their name, age, and gender,
and also with the number of extracurricular activities
they have, the frequency and percentage count will be
used.

In answering the question which is about the

relationship between the extracurricular activities and
academic performance of the respondents, the researchers

Senior High School 14

Sto. Angel Dela Guardia Academy

will be using the Product Moment Correlation of
Coefficient to identify the significant relationship
between the two.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers will ask for the permission and

authorization of the school’s directress for academic
affairs to conduct the study. Afterwhich, researchers will
coordinate to the research teacher. Through the help of
the research teacher, the researchers would be able to
conduct the study. The researchers will then ask for
permission from the school’s Vice President to gather the
needed data. After gathering all the information needed
for this study, the research teacher will help the
researchers in disseminating the questionnaires among the
chosen respondents through the access of the internet. The
researchers will then send a soft copy of the
questionnaires and disseminate it to the respondents with
the help of the research teacher. And after which, if the
researchers would be able to gather the needed data for
this study, they can now proceed to the presentation,
analyzation, and interpretation of the gathered data.

B. Respondent’s Age. With a percentage of 42.9,
respondents who are 16 years old dominated with 9 in
total.

C. Number of Extracurricular Activities. Majority of the

respondents had 1 extracurricular activity with a
total percentage of 61.9%.

D. Academic Grades/Respondents’ Academic Performance.

The respondents’ academic performance was
“Outstanding” which means, most of them have a total
grade ranging from 90-100 with a percentage of 52.4.

Conclusion

The respondents’ academic performance was outstanding and

it was also found out that there was no significant
relationship between their number of extracurricular
activities and with their academic grades. This means that
the two variables didn’t have any relationship between each
other.

Recommendations

FOR PARENTS, continue to give your support to your

children on things they need for their studies in particular. Also,
continue to observe and make evaluation regarding your
children’s status on school.

FOR ADMIN, continue in molding the students, not only in the

academics but also in boosting their confidence and in developing
their talents.

FOR FUTURE STUDIES, consider the diversity issues which

pertains to the participation in extracurricular
activities. It is important to make sure that all students
are being provided by equal opportunities for leadership
and team spirit.
