THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Both academics and athletics are positive standards for a student to

live up to. While academics teach knowledge, sports instill important

qualities like teamwork, leadership, endurance, hard work, respect for

others, stress management, continuous skill improvement, and most

importantly, the capacity to accept success and loss without getting upset.

The time and effort required to satisfy the expectations of practices,

meetings, training, film sessions, and games for varsity athletes adds

additional stress to students. These time demands can make a student

athlete less interested in their studies, which would harm their chances of

succeeding in school.

According to Elizabeth Murdoch, the amount of studying required

varies during the semester depending on the assignments, responsibilities,

and exams. Sports-related demands change throughout the semester and

year; in addition to year-round routine training, training intensity peaks

before big sporting events. Finding the best balance between study and

sport requires trial and error and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Balancing school and sport inevitably require trade-offs. It takes time to

figure out what the obligations and expectations are at school and in sports.
Isabela National High School- Senior High School 3

Sports programs have been carefully promoted within the realm of

education not only in the Philippines but also all across the globe. These

programs promote a lot of skills that students can acquire when they start

to play a sport. It enhances health-related aspects, mental stability,

leadership, and camaraderie. Sports can also improve a student's view of

discipline and their behavior per se.

For years, Student-Athletes used a specific scheme to balance out

their student side with their athlete side. Some patterns involve time

management techniques that is known to differ by goal for different people.

Sports participation has positive effects on students' lives in general

and their academic achievement in particular, in addition to improving one's

physical appearance and according to Terry-McElrath & O'Malley (2011),

"Participation in organized sports events "has the unintended benefit of

improving academic-related outcomes." The majority of teachers think that

participating in sports lowers the likelihood of dropping out of school. These

initiatives can preserve, strengthen, and improve the relationship between

students and schools (Holloway, 2002).

Schley (2002) claims that there are numerous research and polls that

offer evidence that playing school sports improves academic performance as

well as have favorable outcomes in other areas. Previous studies have

demonstrated that participation in sports can self-worth, social standing,

and future academic performance. pupils who are at risk and those who

have Athletic participation has also been demonstrated to improve academic

performance. Nevertheless, Fenton (2015) Contradicts the conclusions of the

Isabela National High School- Senior High School 4

research and claimedthat having a great athletic ability occasionally seems

to innately conflict with academic performance. The more the chance of

acceptance to college increases aspressure to perform at their best, which

may result in a schedule crammed with workouts and practices. Given how

much Athletic training and academic rigor can feel like a lot of work. an

unneeded additional source of stress for student athletes. The pressure to

succeed in the game maintains self-control in Additionally, sports interfere

with study times and inspiration to get a good grade.

Statement of the Problem

This research aims to know what the students' strategies on time

management are in order to balance their school and extracurricular

activities.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions :

1. How do students with extra curricular activities balance their

school and athletic activities using time management strategies?

2. How do student athletes use their time for school and

extracurricular activities?

3. What time management strategies do student athletes use?

Scope and Delimitations of the Study

The primary objective of this research is to understand the study

habits or strategies used by student-athletes to juggle their commitments to

school and extracurricular activities. The respondents will be 15 STEM

RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents several ideas of different studies and literature

both from foreign and local researchers which are related to this study.

Inside the walls of an exceptional University, a specialized. There has

been an educational assistance service for student-athletes reported. No

effort is made to generalize the educational support the service or offer it as

an example. Program there are stated maintenance methods and tactics,

coupled with program results that have been discovered after more than

three years of collaboration with student athletes and academics.

(Whitner, Phillip A.; Sanz, Donald L. 1988)

According to Lynn A Arnett and Lee A McElroy (1987), their research

indicated the significance of providing the theoretical domain of variables

used to forecast academic success among college athletes to significant

specific factors (beyond aptitude and achievement measures) as well as

social factors that may affect college performance. The goal of the study

was to find a discriminant function that could be utilized for estimating the

possibility that student-athletes would remain enrolled in the university's

educational system over the long term. The study's conclusions show that,

even if some of these unconventional predictors do show a significant ability

to distinguish college success on campus, is difficult to generalize findings

 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
12

to other student-athletes due to individual differences and unidentified

institutional features.

According to Elizabeth Aries et al. (2004), the Ivy League university

and a highly prestigious liberal arts college, student athletes were studied

over the period o four years. The academic performance of athletes was not

below what would be expected based on their entering profiles, despite the

fact that students who spent 10 or more hours per week participating in

athletic activities had poorer entering academic credentials and academic

self-assessments than non-athletes. In each annual wave of the study,

athletes exceeded non-athletes in terms of sociability/extraversion and self-

reported well-being. Athletes were not excluded from the rest of the student

body; they engaged with non-athletic extracurricular activities every year

and spent more than 50% of their time with individuals not associated with

those organizations.

"Balancing academic and athletic time management : A qualitative

exploration of first year student athletes’ university football experiences"

(Ezechiel Rothschild-Checroune, et al., 2012). This study sought to identify

the time management challenges faced by first-year varsity athletes.

Through in-depth interviews with 12 football players at a Canadian

university, it was found that football-related activities often took precedence

over academics, making it difficult to find time for other tasks such as

studying, eating, or sleeping. Additionally, the looser academic structure of

the university compared to secondary schools posed a challenge in

 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
13

managing one's time, although this was partially offset by the highly-

structured football program.

Many student-athletes believe that effort, commitment, developing the

necessary physical and psychological traits, as well as practicing behaviors

and making decisions, constitute the crucial elements that they need to

successfully balance the demanding academic and athletic demands and

result in positive life outcomes. (Comeaux & Harrison, 2011; Cooper, 2016;

Jowett & Spray, 2013; Simpson et al., 2021; Smith et al., 2021). As a result,

studies show that engaging in sports reflects motivated efforts that enhance

one's own talents, effort, and personal development. (Harper et al., 2013;

Harper, 2018). Additionally, research supports the notion that involvement

in college sports fosters good correlations between dedication, focus, and

discipline. (Coakley et al., 2011; Dorsch et al., 2022: Lameiras et al., 2014).

To develop specific criteria to assess success, competition, and a good

attitude on life after eligibility, these behaviors must be investigated.

(Kavussanu et al., 2011; Kelly et al., 2021)

"Walking the line: how young athletes balance academic studies and

sport in international competition" by Elsa Kristiansen (2017). This study

looked at the Norwegian squad for the 2015 European Youth Olympic

Festival. It sought to understand the roles of coaches, schools, parents,

federations, and the national Olympic committee in the weeks leading up to

the event, and to explore the participants' experiences of it with a special

focus on stress-inducing factors. The results showed that dual careers can
 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
14

be hard for young athletes to manage, and that parental and school support,

as well as recognition from the federation, are key. The athletes viewed the

event as a serious competition, and they were aware of potential stressors

that could affect their performance. This research has implications for sport

management and psychology research involving young athletes and youth

sport festivals.

Lastly, it was discovered that their academic achievement had a substantial

correlation with involvement in school sports. This implies that the better a

student performs in school, the greater was the respondent's involvement in

school athletics.

"Study habits and scholastic performance of junior student-athletes in

educational district IV" by Crisanto Daing and Felavel S Sinocruz (2022).

This research sought to identify the study habits and academic performance

of junior student-athletes in Educational District IV. A descriptive evaluative

correlation approach was used to analyze the survey-questionnaire, which

was pilot tested, validated, and tested for reliability. The results showed a

significant relationship between student-athletes' textbook reading, note-

taking, reviewing, memorizing, time management, and concentration and

their academic performance. However, there was no significant relationship

between test preparation and performance. Most of the respondents were

Grade 10 students, male, and involved in athletics. Most of them had an

average perception of their study habits, meaning they did not prioritize

their studies due to their trainings for competitions. The average academic

performance of student-athletes was 83.43, with a standard deviation of

6.25. Memorizing was the most observed study habit, while taking notes was

the least. The researchers suggested that the findings of the study be used

in the School Improvement Plan (SIP) and Annual Implementation Plan (AIP)

of the respective schools to provide academic and sports support to student-

athletes.

According to Sinocruz, F. & Daing, C.(2022). Study habits and

scholastic performance of junior student-athletes. Students can relieve

stress by spending time with friends and enjoying fun activities during their

free time throughout the day. Physical contact has been proved in studies to

be an effective stress reliever. To avoid stress in all parts of their busy lives,

student athletes should make it a mission to accomplish their academic

work around their other diverse workouts on time. When stress is reduced

in one area, it naturally decreases in others. Many things will become easier

and more natural to you if you manage your time correctly. Student athletes

share a common trait: determination. Athletes are motivated by their drive

to become better, quicker, and stronger.

The majority of the undergraduate student-athletes at UiTM Puncak

Alam, according to the most recent research, are more likely to have proper

planning and effective time management. All of the study's findings can be

summed up by saying that the majority of students used both short- and

long-term planning. Additionally, they are able to create a list of priorities for

what should be finished first. The student-athlete completes their

assignment incrementally. When the majority of student-athletes complete

tasks in the order that is most essential to them, that claim is proven.

(Nabilah Rahmat and Ahmad Fahim Zulkifli, 2022)

"Increasing Time Management Skills to Improve Student Athletes’

GPA" by Jeffrey Owen (2016). It can be challenging for college athletes to

 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
17

manage their time between academics and athletics, which can lead to lower

grades during the competitive season. This research included a one-day

workshop on time management for twenty baseball student athletes to

determine if it could improve their GPAs and reduce their overall stress.

Unfortunately, the results showed no significant difference in the student

athletes' grades or stress levels. To have a better understanding of the

effects of time-management workshops, more research should be done with

multiple collegiate teams and over a longer period.

With intercollegiate athletics taking a more professionalized approach,

the chance to make money is a welcome perk for student-athletes. Student

athletes' lives must, however, come before the necessity for a peaceful

education.(Comeaux & Harrison, 2011: Ferris et al., 2004; Meyer, 2005;

Tessitore et al., 2021). Regardless of rule changes and regulations, student-

athletes at all levels of intercollegiate competition face the dualistic athletic

and academic demands placed on them by higher education institutions,

institutional personnel, and institutional stakeholders while expecting

success in both areas. (Cooper, 2016; Curs et al., 2022; Dexter et al., 2021;

Johnson et al., 2012).

Notions like student-athletes earning "a sound mind and a sound

body" through sports participation claimed by sports enthusiasts have been

rivaled by some people believing that sports participation hindered student’s

ability to perform well in academics because of their training and practice

commitments rather than studying by themselves (Montecalbo-Ignacio,

Ignacio, & Buot, 2017).

 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
18

According to Jason Dodd and Dale Lackeyram (2017), students who

participate in sports are a special category of learners whose needs go

beyond managing the demanding responsibilities of their sport with the

academic requirements of their course of study. It is essential that athletic

cultures clarify and encourage the academic duties of student-athletes

considering the strength of their athletic community can make it more

challenging to participate in activities outside of its scope. The athletic

landscape in Canada differs from that of the multibillion-dollar Division I

Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic

Association (NCAA), even though these learning demands are the same

across North America. Numerous FBS institutions make significant

investments in student-athlete support, which can take the form of

scholarships, leadership training, and academic support (Judge et al. 2014).

While student-athletes in the FBS face the same difficulties managing

academics and athletics, there are fewer resources available to support

them. Due to a lack of funding, student athletes may not receive coordinated

support; as a result, it may be up to the individual student to navigate

various campus departments to get access to athletic, financial, and

academic resource.

According to (Robbins et al. 2004). Athletes that can successfully

manage training and studies can have some quite outstanding organizing

abilities. Even though in this study task development and time management

appeared to be crucial components of a successful academic and sports life

balance, one of the priorities identified in more recent literature would be

 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
19

education: empowering student-athletes by using sport psychology and

other supports to teach them to improve their time management skills as

they achieve a successful academic life balance. (McKenna and Dunstan-

Lewis (2004), De Subijana, Barriopedro, and Conde (2015),and Li and Sum

(2017)

According to (NORDITO S QUIMBO, 2023) For decades, arguments

and empirical investigations have focused on how athletic activity compares

to academic achievement. Sports fans frequently argue that this type of

involvement hones the pupils holistically, in contrast to opponents who

assert that athletic activity is damaging to the performance of the children in

the classroom or "outside the court." You wrote: There are strong favorable

associations between athletic involvement and time management, athletic

participation and academic performance, and time management and

academic

performance.

"STUDY HABITS OF STUDENT-ATHLETES IN RELATION TO THEIR

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE" by E. G. Bartolome and S. R. Kassim (2019).

For years, researchers have looked into the study habits and academic

performance of students and have come up with various conclusions.

However, this has not been particularly focused on student-athletes and

their unique circumstances, such as having to juggle practice sessions and

 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
20

their academic requirements. Therefore, a study was conducted to observe

the relationship between study habits and academic performance of

student-athletes. The results showed that there was a significant

relationship between the two and that female respondents had better study

habits than their male counterparts. Additionally, the mother's educational

attainment had an effect on the respondents' study habits.

According to Santillan, N. L., & Madrigal, D. V. (2021). In Pursuit of

Excellence: Student-Athlete Achievers' Motivations, Opportunities, and

Struggles. Arguments about the relationship between students' participation

in sports and their academic success have occurred in educational settings.

Some academics believed that participating in sports would prevent

students from achieving academic success because they would spend more

time practicing and competing than they would studying and meeting their

academic obligations. Presented in their review the negative effects of

combining a high level of athletic involvement with academic education. It

was also emphasized that as student-athlete achievers advanced to a greater

level of competition and faced more academic expectations, potential

stresses grew in intensity. Therefore, it is comparatively difficult for student-

athletes to excel in both academics and sports. However, the study

conducted by previous researchers showed that student athletes'

assessments of their ability to thrive in the classroom, their ability to think

clearly, and their ability to be patient and logically inclined were all

improved by participating in sports.

Several studies show that student participation in athletics can critically

affect student's academic performance due to training and competition.

Jeffrey Owen (2016), (Comeaux & Harrison, 2011: Ferris et al., 2004; Meyer,

competitive season. According to Jason Dodd and Dale Lackeyram (2017)

states that sports participation affects the student's academic productivity,

time management, and increasing stress levels.

On the other hand, Robbins et al. (2004), there are other support training

ways such as sport psychology that can help students enhance their time

management skills and capability to balance academic and athletic careers.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Design

This study will be conducted in the scope of critical phenomenology to

explore a complex phenomenon worthy of a thorough and detailed

description. To ensure the study's reliability, credibility, confirmability, and

transferability, a variety of techniques will be used. Critical phenomenology

as a research method will be employed to uncover the different study habits

of student athletes and their experiences juggling their extracurricular

activities and academic obligations. The aforementioned sample size, in

particular the student athletes, will be used to conduct surveys to compile

more data.

Locale of the Study

The STEM 11 athletes from Isabela National High School who were

selected to participate in the study will be the respondents. The interview

would take place face-to-face or online since their knowledge of the subject

of juggling sports and academics can provide a solution to the issue raised

in the study.

For the study, there must be at least 15 student-athletes from the

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) strand.

 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
25

Selection and Description of Respondents

The study considers Isabela National High School 11th graders. The

grade level was divided into four strands: arts and design (ADT), accounting,

business, and management (ABM), humanities and social sciences

(HUMSS), and science, technology, and engineering (STEM). All students in

Grade 11 STEM who participate in athletics are the primary respondents of

this survey. 15 student-athletes will be picked for an in-depth investigation

because they are the most important since they are already knowledgeable

because they have years of expertise.

The individuals who have sufficient experience to address the study's

problem will be chosen by the researchers. Respondents will complete the

provided questionnaire to provide the information.

Data Gathering Instruments

The research will use open-ended questions to interview the student-

athletes in 11th grade of Isabela National High School about their time

management strategies and how they balance school and extracurricular

activities. The questions will be developed based on the research objectives.

In this research, researchers will use open-ended questions to give the

participants more options for responding.

 Isabela National High School- Senior High School
26

The instrument that the researchers will use in this research will be

an interview to particularly uncover the story behind a participant’s

experiences and to pursue in-depth information around a topic. It will also

be more convenient to follow-up with individual respondents after

questionnaires, e.g., to further investigate their responses.

Data Gathering Procedure

After the approval of the interview of student athletes, the researchers

will formally write a letter to the teachers of Isabela National High School for

their consent to conduct the study to facilitate the research instrument and

interviews on the respondents.

After the request has been granted, a set of questionnaire will be

prepared and the researchers will interview via face to face or Google forms

to ensure the safety of both researchers and respondents due to rising

COVID 19 cases. To minimize complications the questionnaire will only

contain a set of open-ended questions
