CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION

Rationale of the Study

The ability to manage time efficiently is a crucial skill for success in academic
progress and performance. In the context of senior high school students, effective time
management is particularly critical as they juggle rigorous academic demands,
extracurricular activities, social engagements, and personal responsibilities. However,
there is evidence that suggests that many students struggle with time management, which
may have adverse effects on their academic performance.

This study is observed in the University of Cebu - Maritime Education and

Training Center in Alumnos, Mambaling. There is a pressing issue regarding the
academic performance of senior high school students, which is linked to poor time
management practices. Despite the institution's efforts to provide quality education and
support systems, the senior high school students from the University of Cebu - Maritime
Education and Training Center struggle with managing their time effectively, leading to
poor academic performance. This issue raises concerns about the long-term educational
outcomes and future success of these students. Therefore, an investigation is being
conducted unto senior high school students’ academic performance being affected by
poor time management.

This phenomena appears to not only affect the University of Cebu - Maritime
Education and Training Center but also there are other educational institutions that have
this kind of issue across the Philippines. Algaradawi (2018), a study conducted at
Bestlink College of the Philippines, uncovered a substantial correlation between deficient
time management skills and decreased academic performance among Grade 12 students.
Those proficient in time management displayed notably enhanced academic performance
compared to counterparts grappling with time management challenges.
 2

Notably, this phenomenon isn't confined solely to institutions within the

Philippines, but also affects institutions from across the world. A study by Silva et al. at
University of São Paulo, Brazil (2013) involving 200 university students found that
students with poor time management habits were more likely to miss deadlines, have
lower attendance rates, and experience higher levels of academic anxiety. The study
reported that 72% of students with poor time management reported experiencing anxiety
related to academics, compared to only 38% of students with good time management
skills.

The aim of this research is to examine how poor time management among senior
high school students impacts their academic performance. By identifying the specific
challenges associated with poor time management and their repercussions on academic
achievement, this study seeks to provide insights that can inform interventions and
support mechanisms aimed at improving students' time management skills and,
consequently, their academic outcomes.
 3

Theoretical Background

As researchers looked more deeply into this study, the researchers went on the
assumption that they already knew the Effects of Poor Time Management towards the
Academic Performance of Senior High School Students.

Self-Determination Theory

Self-Determination Theory (SDT) by (Deci and Ryan, 1985a,b, 2008; Ryan and
Deci, 2000b, 2006, 2020a,b) offers insights into the effects of poor time management
towards the academic performance of senior high school students. Self-Determination
Theory posits that human motivation is largely influenced by the needs for self-
determination, autonomy, and competence. According to Self-Determination Theory,
students' motivation and behavior are shaped by their innate desire for control, autonomy,
and competence in their endeavors.

Additionally, Procrastination, poor scheduling, and stress emerge as key

challenges stemming from a lack of intrinsic motivation and autonomy. Multitasking,
lack of organization, and allowing distractions further impede effective time
management, while not prioritizing goals leads to inefficient use of time for students.
Self-Determination Theory emphasizes the importance of intrinsic motivation and
autonomy in shaping students’ time management behaviors, suggesting interventions to
enhance these aspects for improved academic outcomes.

Pickle Jar Theory

The Pickle Jar Theory (J. Wright, 2020) posits that effective time management is
akin to filling a limited jar with various-sized pickles, representing tasks and activities.
The theory emphasizes prioritizing important tasks over less crucial ones and planning
time for all activities to achieve a balanced approach. The Pickle Jar Theory offers a vivid
analogy to understand how poor time management affects the academic performance of
senior high school students.
 4

Furthermore, problems like procrastination, poor scheduling, stress, multitasking,

lack of motivation, disorganization, and allowing distractions can disrupt the efficient
filling of the "time jar." Just as misjudging the size of rocks, pebbles, and sand can lead to
improper jar filling, issues such as unclear goals, poor time estimation, and failure to
prioritize goals contribute to ineffective time allocation. Addressing these challenges
requires students to prioritize tasks effectively, manage their time efficiently, and
maintain focus on academic goals to enhance their overall performance.
 5

Review of the Related Literature

The focus of this study is about how poor time management affects the student’s
academic performances. Time management plays a crucial role in the academic success
of high school students, particularly in the senior high school level where the demands
and pressures are heightened. The ability to effectively allocate and utilize time impacts
various aspects of students' academic performance, including grades, completion of
assignments, and overall achievement. However, despite its significance, many senior
high school students struggle with poor time management skills, which can have
detrimental effects on their academic outcomes.

Poor time management heightens the risk of academic dishonesty, such as

plagiarism, as students feel pressured to meet deadlines (McCabe & Trevino, 1993). With
inadequate time to complete tasks, students may resort to unethical practices to fulfill
requirements. However, research indicates that the development of time management
skills can mitigate instances of academic dishonesty (Lundquist & Juola, 2015).
Therefore, addressing time management issues is essential not only for academic success
but also for fostering integrity and ethical conduct among students.

Poor time management correlates with academic probation or dismissal as

students who struggle with time management often miss deadlines, fail to complete
assignments, and earn lower grades (Kısla & Ersoy, 2005; Panadero & Azevedo, 2014).
These behaviors increase the likelihood of facing academic sanctions such as probation or
dismissal from their educational institution. Consequently, addressing time management
issues for students to avoid the negative consequences associated with academic
probation or dismissal, thereby safeguarding their academic standing and progress.

Time pressure stemming from poor time management can lead to rushed
decisions and ineffective problem-solving (Kliewer & Kruglanski, 2006). This is
 6

supported by research showing that students with good time management skills
demonstrate better decision-making abilities in academic situations (Spada et al., 2013).
Addressing time management issues through training can mitigate the cognitive impact of
time pressure, improving decision-making and problem-solving skills in senior high
school students.

Ineffective time management leading to late-night cramming and rushed work

negatively impacts students' physical and mental health (e.g., Oginni et al., 2012). Sleep
deprivation, a common consequence, further impairs cognitive function, memory, and
concentration, directly affecting academic performance.

Poor time management contributes to difficulty in long-term planning, leaving

students overwhelmed and unprepared for major projects, tests, and college applications
(Buehl, 2011). Without effective planning, students struggle to break down goals into
manageable steps or allocate resources efficiently. This inability to plan ahead leads to
last-minute stress and compromises overall academic success. Thus, addressing time
management issues is crucial for enhancing students' ability to plan and prioritize tasks
across longer periods, ultimately fostering greater preparedness and success in their
academic endeavors.

Time mismanagement often leads to prioritizing leisure activities over studying

and preparation, diminishing opportunities for deep learning, practice, and revision (Tse,
2011). This imbalance results in weaker academic understanding as students allocate
insufficient time to engage with course materials thoroughly. Ferguson (2001) suggests
that effective time management enables students to balance academic responsibilities
with enriching experiences beyond the classroom. By optimizing their time, students can
participate in extracurricular activities and other opportunities, fostering holistic learning.
 7

Rushed work resulting from poor time management often leads to lower quality
assignments and presentations (Roccas & Sagiv, 2009). In their haste to meet deadlines,
students sacrifice thoroughness and critical thinking, compromising the depth and
accuracy of their work. This perception of low-quality output can significantly diminish
student motivation and confidence (Rothblum & Kopf, 1984), creating a cycle wherein
decreased confidence further impacts the quality of future academic engagement.

Poor time management skills can limit student participation in class due to
unpreparedness or incomplete assignments, as observed in the study by Oran (2009).
Juggling extracurricular activities, personal life, and academics without proper time
management creates difficulty balancing responsibilities and negatively impacts
participation.

Research by Kimlglo & Filz (2008) highlights the connection between effective
time management and high academic performance. Poor time management hinders
effective organization, leading to procrastination and wasted time, ultimately hampering
productivity and academic success

Poor time management often leads to a constant struggle to meet deadlines and
manage workloads, fostering feelings of inadequacy and frustration (Zimmerman &
Schunk, 2008). The lack of motivation further exacerbates time management issues,
creating a vicious cycle that perpetuates decreased academic performance (Pintrich &
Schunk, 2002). In this way, poor time management not only directly affects task
completion but also undermines the motivation needed to address time management
challenges effectively.

Poor time management leads to disorganized planning and studying habits, as

observed in studies by Zimmerman & Kitsantas (2007). This disorganization creates
 8

confusion, difficulty locating resources, and missed deadlines, negatively impacting

academic achievement.

Poor time management leads to missed deadlines, incomplete coursework, and

academic probation, all of which can delay graduation (Wolters, 2006). Students who
struggle with time management may find themselves unable to fulfill the necessary
academic obligations within the allotted time frame, prolonging their time in college.
Consequently, this delay impacts personal and professional plans, disrupting timelines for
entering the workforce or pursuing further education.

Several studies, such as Kisa & Ersoy (2005) and Khanna & Singh (2000),
establish a significant negative correlation between poor time management and academic
achievement. This link stems from missed deadlines and rushed work leading to lower
quality submissions and reduced learning comprehension.

Rushing through assignments and studies due to poor time management hinders
the development of critical thinking skills. Research by Kuhn (2005) highlights the
importance of reflection and analysis for deep learning. Time pressure restricts these
opportunities, impacting critical thinking and academic success.

Research by Bong & Skaalvik (2003) suggests that consistent academic struggles
due to poor time management can lead to reduced self-efficacy, where students doubt
their ability to succeed academically. This decreases motivation and further impacts
performance.

THE PROBLEM

Statement of the Problem

The main purpose of the study is to determine the Effects of Poor Time
Management towards the Academic Performance of The Senior High School Students at-
the University of Cebu - Maritime Education and Training Center in the Second Semester
of the School Year 2023-2024.

Specifically, this study intends to answer the following questions:

1. What are the effects of Poor Time Management towards the Academic Performance
of the Senior High School Students?
2. What are the top 3 effects of Poor Time Management towards the Academic
Performance of the Senior High School Students?
3. Based on the findings, what sound recommendations can be proposed?
 10

Significance of the Study

The findings of this study would be beneficial to the following individuals who
are oblivious of the Effects of Poor Time Management towards the Academic
Performance of Senior High School Students at the University Of Cebu - Maritime
Education and Training Center.

Senior High School Students. The outcome of this study will be beneficial to the
senior high school students because they can employ this study's outputs to assist
themselves in their studies by focusing on their tasks one by one and avoid juggling
multiple tasks at the same time so that they can have a better time management cycle and
improve their academic performance.

Parents. The findings of this study may assist the parents of senior high school
students in helping or giving their children a piece of advice for the betterment of
themselves. This will also give a guide to parents to not put a lot of pressure on their
children and discipline them in order for them to avoid having a wrecked time
management cycle due to lose of interest in school or spending too much time on
leisurely activities instead of doing their studies that could give their children a high
chance of a wrecked time management cycle.

Teachers. The result of this study is helpful for the teachers to guide or give the
students advice like avoid being absent in class, listen and be active in lectures, and do
their tasks in a timely manner so that they can avoid a wrecked time management. Also,
this can give information to the teachers as to not give them tons of school works from
time to time so that they won’t panic and create low-quality output, and discipline them
properly so that they can achieve better academic performance, but to not discipline them
in a harsh way so that the students won’t have disinterest on their academics.

School Administrators. This study allows school administrators to implement

targeted interventions, like asking for the help of the guidance counselors to give the
students advice like focus on your studies and avoid procrastination as to create future
opportunities and hold seminars about proper time management so that they can be aware
 11

and avoid procrastinating and be disciplined to pass their assignments and projects on
time. By recognizing the impact of time management on stress levels, schools can foster
resilience in students, ensuring they thrive both academically and emotionally.

Future Researchers. Through this study the future researchers can use this study
as a guide for their own research since it will provide them an understanding of how to
design a research study. Also, this study can act as a related study for future researchers
to use as support for their own research on a topic that is related to it.

Research Environment

This study will be conducted at the Basic Education Department of the University
of Cebu- Maritime Education and Training Center which is located at Alumnos,
Mambaling, Cebu City. The University of Cebu is one of the five campuses of the
University of Cebu which has programs for preschool, elementary, JHS, and SHS with
 13

the stand of Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), General Academic Strand
(GAS), Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), and two maritime
strands: Technical Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) and Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime
Specialization (PBMS). The University of Cebu also offers affordable and quality
education responsive to the demands of local and international communities. University
of Cebu-Maritime Education and Training Center (METC) offers aspiring seafarers
teaching and training complete with technological simulators which are accredited by
international standards.

Research Respondents

The respondents of this study will be the Grade 11 and the Grade 12 senior high
school students of University of Cebu - Maritime Education and Training Center,
Mambaling Campus. There are 494 students enrolled in the Senior High School and the
researchers will be choosing 98 respondents which is 20% from the total population
according to Gay, R.L. (1976). The sampling method that the researchers will be using is
convenience sampling, because most senior high school students’ academic performance
is affected by poor time management, and by surveying them, we can gather data of how
poor time management affects their academic performance.

Research Instrument

This study uses a Likert Scale instrument which serves as the primary instrument
of the study. The researchers used close-ended survey questionnaires to collect data in
this study. The researchers are going to distribute a survey questionnaire that has 15
close-ended questions that will be answered by the respondents. The survey questionnaire
is designed to gather statistical data about how strongly they agree, agree, disagree, and
how strongly they disagree about the effects of poor time management towards the
academic performance of senior high school students.

Research Procedure

In gathering the data, first, the researchers made an approval letter which was sent
to Dr. Norma Oplado, the principal of University of Cebu Marine Education Training
Center - Campus in order for the researchers to have an authority to conduct a survey
 14

with the Senior High School Students of UC METC - Campus. Second, the researchers
made an approval letter to the chosen participants in order for the researchers to have the
permission to conduct a survey on the senior high school students of University of Cebu -
METC on how poor time management has affected their academic performances. Then,
upon agreeing on the survey, the researchers will distribute the survey questionnaires to
the respondents and at least 5 minutes to answer so that they will have enough time on
answering the survey questionnaires. And lastly, the answers of the participants will be
gathered and analyzed for a statistical analysis.
