CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic has altered the lives of millions of people worldwide.

The health crisis and confinement conditions have financial, social, psycho-emotional,

and educational implications. Considering education and the socio-emotional impacts of

confinement, the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization

(UNESCO) warns of a potential global learning crisis at all levels of the education

system (Sarmiento et al., 2021). Many education systems in developing countries lack

relevant information on who is learning and who is not, which is a concern in the global

learning crisis. It also affects exposure to knowledge and the competencies the students

acquire as well as their emotional and mental health (World Bank, 2019).

In terms of access, quality, equality, and administration, the crisis will have long-

lasting effects on education systems and are likely to linger beyond the epidemic

(UNESCO, 2020). The transition of students' education from online learning to

customary face-to-face classes will affect them in certain specific ways, such as how

anxious they are about having their academic performance evaluated, which will affect

their resilience and subjective well-being as they begin to adjust to face-to-face classes

and methods of academic activity dissemination. It is somewhat demanding for students


Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page

from different schools or modes of learning to conquer new environments and tackle

new curriculums that can make them feel nervous.

In other countries like Indonesia, their government is currently vigorously

supporting learning mobility which promotes participants such as curriculum developers

to provide learning that is available to all students who wish and require studying at

certain higher education institutions based on their preferences. It requires pupils to

adapt to the present academic demands of higher education. Unfortunately, due to a

lack of academic resilience in themselves, not all students can meet increasing

academic standards. Individuals with inadequate academic resilience experience

delinquent behavior performance as a result of the learning burden demands

competence, and lack of ability improvements and academic adaptations (Nguyen et al.,

2016). The influence of academic resilience on subjective well-being in 220 students in

Turkey demonstrated that resilience has a direct impact on psychological health and

subjective well-being (Yildirim and Arslan, 2020). Students with high levels of resilience

typically experience better psychological health and less stress during activities related

to the COVID-19 pandemic (Barzilay et al., 2020).

In the Philippines, Vice President Sara Duterte mandated that all functioning

public and private schools in the Philippines transition to five days face to face classes

beginning on November 2, 2022(Casimiro, R. L. 2022). DepED checked and recorded

that about 80% of the 48,000 public schools and 12,000 private schools in the

Philippines have already met the requirements and standards for preparation in
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page

upcoming face-to-face classes. Students mental health was impacted by this

educational transition, and they felt anxious as they adjusted to transitioning from online

distance learning to face-to-face. Students with high anxiety may find learning more

challenging than students with lower anxiety levels, anxiety might cause difficulties such

as reading comprehension, taking quizzes/exams, and retrieving newly stored

information (Junitha & Nalina, 2019).

Poor school performance can result from academic anxiety, such as low esteem,

depression, and other affective symptoms. Among the categories of anxiety, school

anxiety is one of the common experiences in middle childhood (Ahlen et al., 2012).

Students who experience high levels of classroom anxiety are less likely to do well

academically because it harms their physical and emotional health. Anxiety in school is

a common occurrence that affects a lot of students at all education levels (Raykov &

Martinelli, 2019).

Subjective well-being (SWB), usually referred to as self-reported well-being, is how

individuals perceive and assess various aspects of their lives. It is often use to measure

mental health and happiness, and it can be an important predictor of individual health,

wellness, and longevity (Kendra, 2022). In other words, when a person has a more

optimistic outlook on life, they have a high level of subjective well-being contrasted to

their negative impact; they have more happiness and effect in their life (Diener et al.

2014).
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 5

Most studies show that there are numerous negative effects of classroom anxiety

on academic resilience. It is understand that anxiety does have a specific outcome on a

student’s academic performance. There might be a possibility that anxiety also has

benefits for a student’s academic resilience. Subjective well-being has balanced positive

and negative results toward academic resilience (Burns et al., 2010).

Theoretical Framework

This study is anchored on the theoretical support of the Broaden and Build

Theory of Positive Emotions developed by Barbara Fredrickson (1998) which explains

how positive emotions increase life satisfaction. This theory includes four steps: 1)

experience of positive emotion 2) broadening of thoughts and behaviors 3) building

personal resources and 4) transforming the self by increasing health, well-being, and

survival. Any positive emotion should immediately and temporarily "broaden" attention,

cognitive, and behavioral responses, according to this theory. This contrasts with

negative emotions, which focus our attention and actions on the vulnerability present in

our surroundings so that we may act to avoid or lessen it.

Fredrickson generally means that feeling good makes us more aware of our

living environment and allows us to take in more of our surroundings. Additionally, she

claims that our potential actions are "flexible" throughout this period of broadening

(Fredrickson & Cohn, 2008). She uses the word "flexible" to imply that there are several
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 6

alternative activities we might do to approach positive feelings. People will develop

personal resources as a result of this process over time as individuals continue to feel

pleasant emotions that extend their attention, ideas, and behaviors. These individual

assets then directly influence better health, life satisfaction, and depression symptoms.

Therefore, according to Fredrickson, broadening and developing are adaptive

processes that enhance survival and well-being. The major concern of this study is to

determine the influence of classroom anxiety and subjective well-being on the academic

resilience of the grade 12 students enrolled in the academic track.

The variables of this study are classroom anxiety and subjective well-being which

is the supposed influencing variables to the academic resilience of the respondents.

The ‘Broaden and Build Theory of Positive Emotions’ is relevant to the present study

since it determines and involves emotions and the state of subjective well-being.

Classroom Anxiety is supported by the ‘Broaden and Build Theory of Positive

Emotions’ since this variable involves certain emotions, however, it is a negative

emotion. The use of this theory is relevant to this variable since “positive emotions

broaden the scopes of attention, cognition, and action, widening the array of percepts,

thoughts, and actions presently in mind” (Fredrickson & Branigan, 2005). The term

"classroom anxiety" describes the fear, stress, or dread connected to learning

environments or tasks. Exams, assignments, subjects, societal pressure connected to

academics, or simply feeling anxious about studying or working in groups in class could

all be contributing factors. The theory adapted supports how the negative effects of
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 7

classroom anxiety impact the experience and life satisfaction of the students inside their

classroom.

Subjective Well-Being can be founded by the ‘Broaden and Build Theory of

Positive Emotions’ as well since this variable is linked to Classroom Anxiety which

involves emotion, after all, the emotional state of a person affects their physical state

which is their subjective well-being. According to the build hypothesis, "...fleeting and

transient experiences of pleasant emotions, by promoting a broader range of actions,

gradually create resilient personal resources" (Fredrickson & Cohn, 2008). The state of

cognitive state and emotions of a person has an impact on the physical state and well-

being. It also anticipates a similar increasing cycle in which pleasant feelings and the

broadened thinking they stimulate similarly impact one another in a reciprocal manner,

resulting in considerable long-term gains in emotional well-being. Moreover, people who

practice more prosocial behaviors are less likely to engage in stereotyping and other

antisocial behaviors than their counterparts because they are better able to establish

interpersonal connections, broaden meaningful relationships, become more aware of

others, convey genuine concern, and build trust resources (Fredrickson & Cohn, 2010).

Broaden and Build Theory by Fredrickson (1998)


Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 8

Academic Resilience is also underpinned by the ‘Broaden and Build Theory of

Positive Emotions’; a theory that analyzes how positive emotions might help people

become more resilient. The foundation of this theory is the idea that experiencing good

feelings might help people

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of classroom anxiety and

subjective well-being on the academic resilience of Grade 12 Senior High School (SHS)

students enrolled in the academic track of Gingoog City Comprehensive National High

School for the S.Y. 2022-2023.

Specifically, the researcher seeks to answer the following questions:

1. How do the students assess their level of classroom anxiety?

2. How do the students evaluate their subjective well-being?

3. What factors affect the academic resilience of the students?

4. How does classroom anxiety influence the academic resilience of students?

5. Is there a relationship between subjective well-being and academic resilience?

Null Hypothesis:

Ho1: Classroom anxiety does not have a significant influence on the academic resilience

of the respondents.

Ho2: Subjective Well-Being does not have a significant influence on the academic

resilience of the respondents.

Significance of the Study


Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 10

This study will help the students understand how senior high school students

evaluate their classroom anxiety and subjective well-being, as well as its influence on

their academic resilience. The researcher aims that by conducting this research, they

will be able to show the impact of classroom anxiety and subjective well-being on

students’ academic resilience.

The study will benefit the following:

For Students: This research will assess them in dealing with their classroom

anxiety and subjective well-being to know its influence on their academic resilience.

For Teachers: The teachers are also important in the academic resilience of the

students because they are the ones who assign activities to the students.

For Future Researchers: This research would be very useful for future

researchers who are planning to conduct research that is related to this study because

this can help them as a guide for their research or this can serve as a review of related

literature (RRL) for their study.

Scope and Delimitation

The general intent of this study is to know the influence of classroom anxiety and

the subjective well-being of students on their academic resilience. This study is limited

only to Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School during the Academic Year

2022-2023. However, this study does not include interventions with the students' daily

academic lifestyle and habits. The respondents will answer a survey with close-ended
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page

questions to determine the influence of classroom anxiety and subjective well-being on

the academic resilience of senior high school students. All information and conclusions

drawn from this study were obtained only from Grade 12 students who are enrolled in

the academic track of Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School.

Definition of Terms

The following terms were defined according to how they are being used in the study:

Classroom Anxiety. This refers to an excessive fear of school activities inside the

classroom associated with making group activities and written works, speaking in public,

or taking tests.

Subjective Well-Being. This refers to how senior high school students experience and

evaluate their lives. It is often used as a measure of happiness.

Academic Resilience. This refers to senior high school students' capacity to perform

highly despite a disadvantaged background.

Chapter II

REVIEW OF RELATED STUDIES AND LITERATURE

This chapter presents a review of related literature and studies. It discusses

significant insights and substances to further support the problem being studied. Further

research has been done on the influence of anxiety, the subjective well-being of senior

high school students, and how these variables interact to affect students’ academic

resilience. The studies below gave an extensive view of the research problems under

investigation.

ANXIETY

Classroom anxiety is a state of uneasiness that accompanies somatic

indicators (emotionality) and a focus on the anticipated future threat(s) to achievement

and/or reputation (cognitive worry) for assessed situations in which performance is


Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page

measured, judged, and compared to a particular standard of excellence. It is also

defined by the current literature as a general sense of unease and worry related to

academic contexts as a result of external responsibilities (Götz et al., 2008), such as

examinations and assignments as well as the intense pressure to get exemplary grades

(Martin, 2007). Other research studies had revealed that high levels of academic

anxiety are correlated with a variety of negative effects in the aspect of education

(Lydon et al., 2014). Students who worry and feel anxious about their academic

responsibilities are significantly more likely to have negative impacts on their well-being

(Cazan et al., 2015).

Recent research has revealed that individuals with high levels of anxiety as

opposed to their peers, have a tendency to have a biased perception of their emotions,

exhibit laver levels of emotional coherence and consciousness, and are more likely to

reject the continuous feelings they are experiencing (Campbell-Sills et al., 2006).

Regarding the school environment, the research shows that certain students are prone

to use negative and poor adaptive emotion regulation mechanisms, such as

suppression, while feeling particularly anxious, which lowers their capacity to cope with

academic pressures (Amstadter et al, 2007),

Öner and Le Compte (2016) believed that anxiety can be divided into state-trait

anxiety. State-trait anxiety is the subjective Fear stemming from a stressful situation.

While state-trait anxiety increases under high-stress situations, it decreases when

stress is removed. While the fear and uneasiness based on dangerous situations are
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 13

accepted as temporary and normal anxiety, state- trait anxiety, which is not directly

linked to existing situation, describes a personality characteristic. Because state-trait

anxiety is the tendency of the individual to lead a troubled life, these individuals might

experience state-trait anxiety more frequently and intensely than other individuals

(Aslan, 2021).

Studies in the literature showed a negative relationship between subjective

well-being and state and trait anxiety (Öztürk, 2013; Tangör & Curun, 2016). Although

these two concepts are often used together, they express different Characteristics.

While "state anxiety" is defined as a temporary reaction adverse events, "trait anxiety is

a more detailed personality trait in a one-person order related to the tendency to

respond to various situations with anxiety, distress, and question (Saviola et al., 2020).

It is possible to say that as the level of negative emotions, such as anxiety, decreases,

an individuals’ subjective well-being increases.

SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING

Well-being has long been considered key to the creation and maintenance of

healthy, productive societies (Diener, 2015). To this end, many countries utilize

objective proxies of well-being, such as income, literacy, and life expectancy, as well as

subjective measures, such as how life is perceived and experienced by individuals

(Durand, 2016). This approach to measuring perceptions and life experiences has been

characterized as subjective well- being (SWB). Self-evaluation of people's emotional

experiences creates a representation of their subjective well-being state. More negative


Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 14

assessments show that students subjective well-being is low. Self-assessments of one's

personal conduct (thoughts and feelings) and public behavior (verbal and physical acts)

that are judged personally or socially desirable might be operationalized as subjective

well-being (Renshaw, 2015).

It has been determined by prior studies (Sahu, 2020; Daniel, 2020; Chi Beker,

Yu, Willeit, Jiao, Huang, 3 Veronese, 2020) that modifications in teaching strategies

have an effect on students' psychological well-being during a pandemic According to

Sahu (2020), the sharp rises in the number of Students in China are experiencing worry

and a sense of uncertainty due to positive COVID-19 instances. Students who have this

issue may feel more stressed. Daniel (2020). later verified that the COVID-19

pandemic's novel teaching strategies, and uncertainty about tests, graduation, and

learning results caused pupils to feel anxious. Even inside the educational system itself,

the idea that students were struggling in the dark, which is the topic of the first segment

of their voyage, is marked by uncertainty (Bozkurt 13 Sharma 2010). This is true

because the Philippine educational system is set up For Face-to-Face instruction. Less

support system was created for online courses and other types of learning. As a result,

although the participants' Feelings of uncertainty. Fear and Frustration differ from those

reported in earlier studies (e.g., Aristovnik et al., 2020: kedraka kaltsidis, 2020), this

difference may be explained by the fact that the majority of the students in this study

have never participated in online learning because. their homes have poor net access.

In addition, prior to the pandemic, the institution itself had not investigated online

learning platforms as the primary learning medium (Sahu et al., 2020).


Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 15

Finding solutions to problems people encounter and developing coping

mechanisms are additional factors that affect subjective well-being. The ability of the

individual to solve problems could play an important role in regulating emotions,

improving subjective well-being is the subject of studies in this area. Erylmaz (2014)

conducted a model study with adolescents for the purpose of evaluating the mediating

effect of coping mechanisms on subjective well-being and personal traits. According to

the findings of the study, emotional instability, extrovertism, and problem and emotion-

focused coping all had an impact on adolescent’s subjective well-being (Erylmaz, 2014).

Maddux (2018) discovered that students subjective well-being is a

psychological condition that describes how students feel and think about what happens

to them in life. Students are said to have a high level of subjective well-being if they feel

satisfied with life and show positive emotional reactions or responses to each of their life

experiences and rarely feel unpleasant emotions such as sadness or anger (Diener,

1999). Tian, Zhao, and Huebner (2015) explained that subjective well-being in students

is when students evaluate positive or negative emotions that are experienced

specifically during the learning process, for example exciting, happy, relaxed, tired,

annoyed, bored, and sad. In this study, researchers Focused on student’s subjective

well-being on the effective aspects as researchers wanted to identify emotional

experiences felt by students. During this pandemic, ideally, students complain a little,

have the confidence to complete academic demands, and remain enthusiastic about

learning.
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 16

ACADEMIC RESILIENCE

Academic resilience among students has also received a considerable amount of

research. It is regarded as an improved chance of success (academically) in the face of

environmental challenges. A supportive social and living environment, especially in

schools, as well as creative approaches, can affect and help improve an individual's

resilience, according to recent developments in the study of resilience (Salvacion et al.,

2018). According to Wang and Gordon (2012), academic resilience is the ability to

accomplish one's greatest potential despite tough circumstances and environmental

challenges. Abiola and Udofia (2011) claim that less resilient medical students would

experience stress, anxiety, and sadness after passing a significant professional

examination. According to Waxman et al. (2003), resilience variables should be

considered in resilience research in order to identify procedures that might support

preventative measures. Martin and Marsh (2006) showed that self-efficacy might predict

academic resilience in this regard. They found that students who were resilient had high

self-efficacy and low anxiety.

Recent studies have highlighted the positive role that resilience has in assisting

students adapt when faced with challenging Circumstances (Theron & Theron, 2013;

Werner, 2012; Yates 3 Grey, 2012). According to khadem, Motevali Haghi, Ranjbari,

and Mohammadi (2017), resilience lowers anxiety and depression and helps people

cope with stressors more successfully.


Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page 17

According to existing theories, resilience is a multi-dimensional construct made

up of constitutional trails like temperament and personality as well as specialized

abilities, like active problem-solving that enable individuals to success- Fully deal with

challenges in life (Compbell-Sills et al, 2006). Academic resilience is influenced by both

external protective factors and internal protective factors, such as social supports and

opportunities offered by the family, school, community, and peers (e.g., personality

traits, skills, attitudes, beliefs, and coping strategies). The current study, which focuses

on internal protective factors, aims to better understand how coping mechanisms and

personality characteristics contribute to academic resilience.

Regardless of the significance of resilience in academic contexts has been

generally acknowledged (Doll et al, 2000), it is rare to apply a resilience-based strategy

in educational research (Martin & Marsh, 2006). As a result, there is a lack of previous

research evaluating the correlation between resilience and academic engagement

(Lafreniere, 2014) but with the development of positive psychology, several studies

have related resilience to other educational characteristics and variables, including the

existence of a motivating classroom environment (Alonso-Tapa et al., 2013), the use of

various motivational and emotion control strategies, and adolescence academic

success (Gaixola et al., 2013).

A significant positive relationship between the two variables may therefore be

theorized, with students who perceive and respond to school environment inflicted.

stressors in a more resilient way being more prone to behave in an adaptive manner to

the school and their academic work, even if it has not been completely shown yet that

resilience is definitely a consistent predictor of a greater extent of school involvement. In

comparison to their less resilient peers, they are also inclined to take part more in

school activities and spend more time on academic work (Rodriguez-femández, 2018).

CHAPTER III

METHODOLOGY

This chapter discusses and explains the research design used in the study, the

population and sampling design, and determines the respondents of the study. It will

also include an overview of the details of the instrument that will be used, the scoring

and the data gathering procedure, and the reliability test.

Research design

This study uses a correlational research design. Correlational research design is

a type of non-experimental research that predicts and explains the relationship between

different variables (Seeram, 2022).


20
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page

The current study determines how the two variables namely classroom anxiety

and subjective well-being may affect the academic resilience of students in the

academic track. Researchers look for a specific relationship between these variables.

Hence, the correlational research design is the best approach used for this study. The

study uses quantitative data when gaining data from chosen participants from these

academic tracks.

Respondents of the study

         Grade 12 Students from Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School

(GCCNHS) will be chosen to participate in this study. In total there are 4 Academic

strands available in the Senior High School level, namely: Accountancy, Business and

Management (ABM) Strand, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

(STEM) Strand, Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS) Strand and General

Academic Strand (GAS). Participants were chosen in these academic strands to

participate in the survey.

> .8 – Good, _ > .7 – Acceptable, _ > .6 – Questionable, _ > .5 – Poor, and _ < .5 –

Unacceptable” in evaluating the consistency of the questionnaire. The analysis showed

the excellent and good status of the study’s questionnaire.

Data Gathering Procedure 

Researchers will first prepare the different research instruments along with the

formal letters of approval that shall be given to the office of the school principal. The

researchers of the study will have to acquire necessary permission and letter of consent

from the office of the school principal. The necessary data for the student population in

each class is acquired by manually asking each section for the number of students they

have.

Upon the approval of the school for the continuation of the study, the researchers

will start handing out survey questionnaires to the students under the academic strand.
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School – Senior High School Page

Each questionnaire is given a number on the upper right corner of the paper as the

identification of the student when it comes to compiling the data acquired. As the

researchers enter each section designated to them, giving the students chosen to

participate a brief overview and instructions shall be established. 

Respondents will be told about the study's methodology and that all information

they submit will be treated with absolute confidentiality and used exclusively for

research. The respondents will have plenty of time to complete the survey forms, and

they are welcome to ask questions for clarification. When all the necessary data is

already acquired with the aid of the SPSS 14.0 Software, the data will be interpreted

and analyzed.

Statistical Treatment and Data Analysis 

The researchers shall be using the T-test as the statistical tool and SPSS as the

medium for data analysis. Data will be collected from the surveys and transformed into

an excel file for further verification. Data from the excel file was then inputted into SPSS

for graphing and table making.  A T-test will be used to analyze our data using two

samples which are the Pretest and Post-test Mean and the goal of a T-test is to

compare the means of two samples that are aligned with our data set. SPSS will be

used to analyze the data by using its function to find the means of the variables needed

from the tables required to summarize all the data gathered.
