CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter present the summary of the findings that the researchers constructed, the

conclusion drawn, and the recommendations derived in the conduct of the study entitled the “

Effects of Health related Behaviour in the Academic Performance of ACLC Senior High School

Students” in ACLC IRIGA CAMPUS.

SUMMARY:

This study was conducted for the purpose of determining the Effects of Health Related-

Behavior in the Academic Performance of Senior High School Students. The participants is

divided into two year levels: grade 11 and grade 12. They were selected using simple random

sampling. One hundred (100) senior high school students were among the participants, and they

provided the information researchers needed.

The descriptive method was utilized to explain, analyze, and classify the data. The

statistical tools employed were the frequency count, percentage technique and weighted mean.

The study findings are being addressed by this study:

1. What is the students profile in terms of:

1.1 Age

1.2 Sex
 1.3 Strand

1.4 Year Level

2. How may the health related behavior of ACLC Senior High School Students describe in

terms of

1.1 Poor Dietary Habits

1.2 Alcoholism

3. How may academic performance senior high school students describe in terms of:

1.1 English

1.2 Mathematics

1.3 Science

1.4 Filipino

4. Does the Health Related-Behavior affect the senior high school students?

5. What are the recommendations for the impact of health related behavior students’

performance at school?

This study determined by the researchers. The survey questionnaire served is being answered

by the respondents.

FINDINGS:

The previous chapter provided the following findings of the study.

1. The following showed the results of demographic students’ profile and findings:

1.1 Out of one hundred (100) participants, 51(70.8%) were 16-17 age range showed as

the majority of respondents and had a highest frequency and percentage, while the
 18-20 age range had the lowest and gathered with only 21 (29.2%) total of

participants.

1.2 There are 54 with (75%) female group who responded the survey questionnaire

served by the researchers, female group have the highest percentage than the male

who only had 18(25%) of the respondents.

1.3 Grade 11 students had the highest percentage of participants with 43 and (59.7%)

followed by the Grade 12 students who had the lowest with 29 and (40.3%) total

group of participants.

1.4 The table in the previous chapter shows that the students from Science, Technology,

Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) had the highest or majority of the respondents

with a frequency and percentage of 33 and (45.8%). Humanities and Social Science

(HUMSS) came in second with 14 and (19.4%). While the General Academic Strand

(GAS) came in the third in the survey with a percentage of (15.3%) followed by the

Accountancy, Business Management (ABM) had a percentage of (13.9%). Computer

System Service (TVL-CSS) had the lowest respondents, with only 4 (5.6%) total

sample of participants.

2. Table 12 and 13 shows the health related behaviors of ACLC Senior High School

Students in terms of Poor Dietary Habits and Alcoholism. Poor Dietary habits revealed

that all verbal interpretations in this study, interpreted as “sometimes” were: I eat

unhealthy foods a lot (3). I eat less due to loss appetite (2.80). Eating unhealthy food

brings me fulfillment (2.73). I feel great when I eat unhealthy foods (2.72). Skipping

meals (2.84). The weighted average of poor dietary habits explain that the respondents

mostly answered sometimes. Alcoholism in the study interpreted as rarely were: I use
 alcohol out of curiosity (1.91). I use alcohol to improve my memory before the exam

(1.55). I use alcohol to improve my general condition (1.61). I use alcohol to achieve

happiness and joy (1.87). I use alcohol to increase my self-confidence (1.79). The

weighted average of alcoholism explains that the respondents mostly answered rarely.

3. Academic Performance of ACLC Senior High School Students. The sequence percentage

of the aforementioned subjects are described:

1.1 English: 85-95 (86.11%), 96-100 (11.11%), 75-84(2.78%).

1.2 Mathematics: 85-95(77.78%), 75-84(19.45%), 96-100(2.78%).

1.3 Science: 85-95(75%), 96-100(13.89%), 75-84(11.11%).

1.4 Filipino: 85-95(84.72%), 96-100(8.33%), 75-84(6.94%).

According to the findings of the previously stated subjects, the majority of students have

an average of 85-95, while others have an average of 96-100, and a general average of

75-84. The study explains that the senior high school students from ACLC IRIGA

CAMPUS got the passing grades.

4. Based on the findings of health related behavior affect the academic performance of

senior high school students. The data presented in table 14, two (2) of ten (10) question in

students’ academic performance rated as “sometimes and rarely” were: Does this health

related behavior affects your academic performance? (3). I get failing grades 1-3 subjects

(2.05). While the remaining eight (8) question rated as “often” were: I am active in

school (4.08). I gain focus when I see technical problems (3.55). I made myself ready in

all my subjects (4.59). I actively participate in every discussion (3.610. I want to get a

good grades in every subjects (4.44). I exert more effort when I do difficult assignment

(3.88). The rated as “often” with a mean of 3.72 in overall weighted mean. The study
 explains how these health related behavior (poor dietary habits and alcoholism) have

significant impact on the academic performance of senior high school students at the

ACLC IRIGA CAMPUS. However, ten (10) of the reaming responses stated that this

kind of health related behavior has never affected their academic performance.

5. Students are increasingly involved in any health related behavior mentioned. They are

continue engaging in a bad and negative habit that can affect the individual’s future.

Adolescence continue influencing one another. This health related behavior are hard to

control and difficult to stop. Unhealthy behaviors such as smoking or vaping, use of

alcohol or drugs, consumption of fast food, and working long hours have been identified

as negative predictors of academic performance. The higher these related behavior impact

on the academic performance, the higher its community long term impact as well.

CONCLUSION:

The following were the conclusion drawn based on the findings of the study.

 The good health related behaviour of senior high school is a good picture that may be

an indicator of less cognitive and health problems.

 The researchers conclude that the 72 out of 100 respondents of ACLC IRIGA have

full filed and used the above mentioned health related behavior.

 Though relationship between health related behaviour and academic performance was

recorded, but it may not be considered significant. Hence, the results of the data we

gathered that the health related behaviour on SHS students does not significantly

affect their academic performance was accepted.

  The data and information gathered through the data collection method provide

preliminary evidence to the researchers about the effect of health related behavior in

the academic performance of ACLC Senior High School Students. The health related

behavior has no significant effects on the academic performance of senior high school

students. The study is feasible in order to determine and evaluate information on how

the above-mentioned health related behavior affected the academic performance in

each of us.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

In the light of the findings and conclusions, the following recommendations were formulated:

1. There should be a proper self-awareness of those health-related behavior mentioned.

2. Student should know how to control and knows their limitations in order to avoid

normalizing the health-related behavior issues that may affect their academic

performance.

3. Parents should be aware that this health-related behavior mentioned have a big impact on

their daughter/son’s academic performance.

4. Students are more likely to be academically engaged and successful when they feel

healthy, safe, and valued. As a result, it is critical that schools discuss health, social, and

environmental concerns. Having an impact on student life is a priority.

5. Students will have a better perspective on things if they can express what they feel and

tell what their needs are. It is quite significant that the students should feel that they are

valid, and mental health is as important as the students' physical health.
