REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

The researcher reviewed several books, unpublished thesis

and dissertations, periodicals and other reading materials

either foreign or local to acquire relevant information. The

contents of this chapter are therefore obtained to support the

concepts of this study.

Related Literature

The related literature were taken from the local and

international issues.

Academic performance have been defined and explained by

several authors. According to Narad and Abdullah (2016),

academic performance is the knowledge gained which is assessed

by marks by a teacher and/or educational goals set by students

and teachers to be achieved over a specific period of time.

Numerous studies have attempted to define the factors

affecting students' universal achievement or performance (Umar

et al., 2014).

Bagacay National High School

Academics performance has always been affected by

student's` self-respect, creativity, and conviction with

academic progress. Poor performance influence student future

uncertainty about overall outcomes of the university and can

decrease the likelihood of students desiring for higher

outcomes such as higher grade (Egunsola, 2014). Thus, a

student's academic performance is definitely a subject in the

spotlight for educators (Wintre et al., 2015; Sæle et al.,

2017).

Galiher (2012) and Darling (2014), used GPA to measure

student performance because the main focus in the student

performance for the particular semester. Some other

researchers used test results or previous year result since

they are studying performance for the specific subject or year

(Hijazi and Naqvi, 2013 and Hake, 2012).

respondents. When the required permission was secured, the

researchers proceeded with the data gathering personally and

preferably, during class hours, in order to ensure 100 percent

retrieval of the questionnaires. After which, the researchers

tabulated, computed, and interpreted the data of the study.

Statistical Treatment

The data were computed, analysed and interpreted using

descriptive and inferential statistical tool such as frequency

count, percentage, mean, weighted mean, and standard

deviation.

Frequency Count. The data on the student-respondents’ age

and sex, civil status, monthly family income, number of

siblings attending school, third quarter-general average, were

computed as to the number of the occurrences using this

statistical tool.

Percentage. This tool was used in the analysis and

interpretation of data on age and sex, civil status, monthly

family income, number of siblings attending school, third

quarter-general average using the following formula (Sevilla,

et al. 1992:200):

P = [f/N] x 100

P a g e | 14

where: P refers to the percentage;

f refers to the number of occurrence; and

N refers to the total number of samples.

Weighted Mean. The mean weighted point scores was used to

analyse the factors affecting the academic performance of the

Grade 12 students. The range of mean weighted point score of

student’s responses to their academic performance was

interpreted as follows: The formula (Pagoso, 1997:111) used

was as follows:

ΣfiXiWi
Xw = ----------
n

where: Xw refers to the weighted mean;

fi refers to the frequency of a

category of variable;

Xi refers to the identified category of

a variable;

Wi refers to the weights which are

Expressed in a five-point Likert or

Thurston scales; and,

n refers to the sample size.

In interpreting the weighted mean, the following sets of

four-point Likert scales were used:

3.01 - 4.00 Agree

2.01 – 3.00 Disagree

1.00 – 2.00 Strongly Disagree

In deciding whether the null hypothesis was accepted or

rejected, the following decision rule served as guide: accept

the null hypothesis if and when the computed value turned

lesser than the critical or tabular value or the p-value

turned greater than the α; on the other hand, reject the null

hypothesis if and when the computed value turned equal or

greater than the critical or tabular value or the p-value

turned equal or lesser than the α.

Standard Deviation. This statistical tool was used to

determine the variation or dispersion of quantitative data.

The following formula (Freud and Simon, 1992) was used:

Σf( X – X )2
s = ---------------
n – 1

where: s refers to the standard deviation;

f refers to the frequency of

occurrence;

X refers to the identified variable;

and,

X refers to the arithmetic mean.

Implications of the Study

The following implications were derived from the findings

of this study.

1) Almost all students were 17-18 years old which

indicate that they search for a sense of self and personal

identity, through an intense exploration of personal values,

beliefs and goals.

2) The student-respondents considered personal condition,

study habits, home- and teacher-related factors as very low

impact on their academic performance, while school-related

factors considered as low impact on their academic

performance.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the summary of the major findings, the

conclusion drawn and the recommendations that were formulated

based on the results of the study.

Summary of Findings

These were the salient findings of the study:

1. There were 24 or 60.00 percent of the student-

respondents who were 17 and 18 years old. Of the 24 student-

respondents aged 17 and 18, there were 12 or 30.00 percent who

were males and 12 or 30.00 percent who were females. 11 or

27.50 percent of the student-respondents who were 19 and 20

years old. Of these, there were 6 or 15.00 percent who were

females, while 5 or 12.50 percent who were males. The

remaining 5 or 12.5 percent student respondents were 21 and

above years old, of whom, 3 or 7.5 percent were males and 2 or

5.00 percent were females. The mean of the ages of the male

student-respondents was computed at 18.825 years old, with the

standard deviation of 1.9952 years whereas the mean of the

ages of the female student-respondents was computed at 18.65

years old, with a standard deviation of 1.7479 years. Over-

all, the mean of the ages of the student-respondents was

computed at 18.74 years old, with a standard deviation of

1.87.

2. There were 20 or 50.00 percent of the student-

respondents who were females while there were 20 or 50.00

percent of the student-respondents who were males.

3. There were 16 or 40.00 percent of the student-

respondents whose families earned a monthly family income of

less than Php 5,000.00, identified as the lowest income level

for this study. This was followed by 15 or 37.50 percent of

the student-respondents whose families had Php 5,000.00 – Php

10,000.00, 8 or 20.00 percent with monthly family income of

Php 10,001.00 – Php 20,000.00. However, there is one or 2.50

percent student-respondents family earned the highest monthly

family income at Php 20,001.00 and above.

4. All personal condition factors affecting the

academic performance were considered as very low impact by the

student-respondents based on the values of the weighted mean

which ranged from 1.91 to 2.58 with the grand mean of 2.21,

interpreted as very low impact.

5. The study habit factors affecting the academic

performance of the student-respondents were considered very

low impact based on the values of the weighted mean which

ranged from 2.08 to 2.56 with the grand mean of 2.07,

interpreted as very low impact.

6. Most of the home-related factors affecting the

academic performance of the student-respondents were

considered very low impact based on the values of the weighted

mean which ranged from 2.13 to 2.43 with the grand mean of

2.07, interpreted as very low impact.

7. Two (2) indicators of school-related factors

affecting the academic performance of the student-respondents

were considered low impact based on the values of the weighted

mean which ranged from 2.93 to 3.03, while the other two (2)

indicators were considered as very low impact by the student-

respondents based on the values of the weighted mean which

ranged from 2.13 to 2.18, with the grand mean of 2.61,

interpreted as low impact.

8. 7 out of 10 teacher-related factors indicators

affecting the academic performance of the student-respondents

were considered as very low impact based of the values of

weighted mean which ranged from 2.18 to 2.50, while the

remaining 3 indicators were considered as low impact by the

student-respondents based on the values of the weighted mean

which ranged from 2.64 to 2.96. The grand mean of the teacher-

related factors affecting the academic performance of the

student-respondents is 2.49 with the interpretation of very

low impact.

9. After computing all the data gathered, school-

related factors affecting the academic performance of the

student-respondents is considered as low impact with a

weighted mean of 2.61. While other factors were considered as

very low impact based on the values of the weighted mean which

ranged from 2.07 to 2.49. The grand mean of the five factors

affecting the academic performance of the student-respondents

is 2.36 with the interpretation of very low impact.

Conclusion

The following conclusions were drawn based from the

findings above:

1. The student-respondents were relatively young adults

which suggested that they were in their right age fitted for

senior high school years. Furthermore, male dominance among

the student-respondents were noted which indicated that there

were more male students enrolled than the female ones.

2. All of the student-respondents were single.

3. The family of the student-respondents earned regular

monthly income which they used to support the basic,

educational and nutritional needs of the students and their

siblings.

Based on the findings of the study the following were the

recommendations:

1. We, the researchers recommend the future researchers

to find other factors affecting the academic performance of

the students.

2. The parents must constantly monitor their children’s

academic performance. They must check on their children’s

class activities, and assist them with those activities.
