 RESEARCH PROBLEM AND
RATIONALE
 As of 2018, there are 216,000 working students here in the
Philippines according to Commission on Higher Education
(CHED). It shows how broad the number of working students in
the country. In the case of employability here in the Philippines,
students shows better performance in working. According to
(Ramos, n.d) Around 27.2 million students were welcomed back
to school by Education Secretary Leonor Briones as school year
2019-2020 kicked off nationwide. Several studies found that
between 50 and 60 percent of all university students are engaged
in some forms of part-time jobs (Curtis, 2007; Häkkinen, 2006).
One of the factors why students in Molino Bacoor, Cavite are
working is the extra fees of schools that are unexpected and also
the changes of tuition fees. It is also the unstable financial status
of the family Field Placement and the Impact of Financial Stress
on Social Work and Human Service Students (Eleesa, et al.,
2016).
 OBJECTIVES:

The study specifically aims:

To enumerate their daily routine as working
students.
To identify the skills learned by working
students
To be able to identify the challenges
encountered by working students
EXPECTED OUTPUTS:

The researchers may

come up with an
article or brochure to
recognize their skills.
 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE
STUDY:
 The study focuses on
the daily living of the
working students and
information of their
situation here in the
Philippines, specifically
in Molino, Bacoor City,
Cavite. Therefore, the
working students will
benefit this study.

REVIEW OF
RELATED
LITERATURE
 HERE ARE SOME
RESEARCHES THAT ARE
RELATED TO THE
RESEARCHERS’ STUDY
 Research shows that combining work with high school
education can have long-term consequences for an
individual’s educational attainment and labour market
outcomes.
 The consistent conclusion throughout these studies is that
working while in school is generally beneficial, provided
the working time commitment is not too extensive.
 Their findings indicate a modest negative impact on
educational outcomes for those working longer hours.
Male students work longer hours than female students on
average, with female students better able to combine study
and work. (Xiaodong Gong, et al., 2012).
 Students reported that working constrained the time available
for studying and completing assignments, created logistical
difficulties, caused physical and mental health problems, and
resulted in negative academic consequences. On the other
hand, some students reported that employment had a positive
influence (time-management skills, real-life experiences).
 According to Jewell, S. (2014), a higher percentage of
students is now likely to work to fund their studies,
particularly those coming from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds.
 As Ruhm suggests, referring to high school students,
employment during education is potentially an additional way
of acquiring human capital in the form of “on the job
training”.
 Some studies in the UK have shown that term-time
employment has a negative impact on academic performance
 On the other hand, several UK studies have highlighted
benefits of term-time employment, including work experience
 Being a working student, it is also important to use their
learned skills to their part-time work because this is how they
will be recognize as a good employer.
 RESEARCH
METHODOLOGY
 RESEARCH SITE

 The study was conducted in Molino,

Bacoor City, Cavite because the area
has been giving more opportunities of
work especially to the students.
 RESPONDENTS OF
THE STUDY

 The researchers chose the working students as the

respondents because they are the main topic and/or
the subject of the whole study. The researchers’
interview questions can only be answered by
working students and no other participants.
 RESEARCH DESIGN
AND DATA
COLLECTION

 The researchers’ will employ the

Phenomenology research design because the
study talks about the experiences and
applications of skills of working students to
their job.
 DATA ANALYSIS

 The researchers closely examines the information to

spot the common themes – topics, ideas and patterns
of meaning that come up repeatedly. Thematic
analysis could be a method of analyzing, it is usually
applied to a group of text, like interview transcripts.
The information that collected by the participants
will analyze and will be used to present data.
 RESEARCH
INSTRUMENT

 The researchers used semi-structured interview as a

research instrument. Semi-structured interview is an
interview where the researchers prepared a set of
same questions to be answered by the working
students and at the same time, additional questions
might be asked during the interview.
INTERVIEW
QUESTIONS
 What are the variables that make being a working
student challenged?
 What is your greatest hardship encountered?

 In what way/technique/mindset did you overcome your

challenges?
 What is the moral lesson you learned?

 What can you share to other working students?

 What are the possible skills can be learn by working

students?
 Who are the following peers and environment that can
affect working students?
 What are the changes in routines of working students?
 What are the behaviors that can be adopt by working
students?
 What could be the effect of being working students?

 What is the purpose of being a working student?

 What are the benefits that can gain of being working

student?
 How working student plan in own life?

 What working students do if they are have free time?

 How working students really helpful to the people?
