ABSTRACT AND KEYWORDS

This study aimed and focused to explore on the effects of co-curricular

activities in the academic performances of the students and its possible effects on their

profile,

The researchers collected data on seventy-three (73) respondents who were from

three public elementary schools, on the school year 2022-2023. The study showed that

the profile of the respondents could affect the academic performances of the students, but

in terms of their specific co-curricular where they were engaged, there was no significant

relationship between the co- curricular and the academic performances of the

respondents.

Additionally, the researchers discovered that while the profile has an impact on

academic success, co-curricular activities and time spent had no impact. Even when kids

participate in a variety of extracurricular activities outside of school and devote a

significant amount of time to them, their academic performance remains unaffected.

Keywords: Academic Performance, Co-Curricular Activities, Internet, Mobile

Gaming, Social Media.
