 INTRODUCTION
Life was meant to be good. Around the world, everyone wants to enjoy life. Unfortunately, in
Asian Countries, Philippines and the Filipinos were found to have a worst health habits,
according to a new research from Sun life Financial Asia.
Yes, taking education could be a basic part of life but there will always be challenges and
difficulties are expected thus academic performance inhabits a very important place in every
Filipino’s life, in fact considered a key criterion to judge ones toal potentials and capacity (
Nuthana & Yenagi, 2009) usually distinguished by examination results.
Health habits and lifestyle are vigorous factors affecting students’ lives like what Wahlstrom
(2014) mentioned in the study Association of lifestyle habits and academic achievement in
Norwegian adolescents: a cross-sectional study where taking regular and healthy food and being
physically active were associated with better academic achievement compared to the intake of
unhealthy food and beverages, smoking and snuffing plus sleeping habits having impact on
concentration, understanding, memory, and academic performance.

Lifestyle or the way we live could also influence academic performance mostly during difficult
situations like financial problem,
THEORITICAL THEORY
▪ Social cognitive theory. The areas of overlap with
some of the most widely applied psychosocial
models of health are identified. The models of
health promotion and disease prevention have
undergone several generational changes. We
have shifted from trying to scare people into
health, to rewarding them into health, to
equipping them with self-regulatory skills to
manage their health habits, to shoring up their
habit changes with dependable social supports.
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE OF STUDIES
▪ Students are the main assets of school, universities, students’
performance plays and important role in producing the best quality
graduates who will become leader and manpower for the country
thus the social and economic development ( Ali et. Al, 20009)
▪ The challenging aspects of academic literature and science student
performance are affected due to psychological economic,
environmental, social and personal factors. Academic performance
measurement has received considerate attention in the previous
research, some factors mention could strongly influence on the
student performance, but these factors differ.
▪ Early adoption of healthy living lifestyle is good.
Unhealthy lifestyle practices of the youth is strongly
link to unhealthy habits in adulthood ( Lowery et
al.,2000). Health-related actions in early stages of
life affect the disease risks related to lifestyle in later
period of life. Though it is difficult to change
unhealthy habits that adults have adopted in their
adolescence, many effects of health risk factors
among adults are preventable.
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
▪ Shows the relationship of the health habits and lifestyle to
the academic performance of the randomly selected grade
8 students. The independent variables: health habits with
four subcategories: eating activities, sleeping habits,
physical habits, proper hygiene, and the kind of routine the
students in terms of study habits and other associated
activities will have direct effects on academic (dependent
variables). The Age and Sex served as mediating variable in
this study.
▪ Few studies had examined the association between
served health-related behavior and academic
achievement among adolescents. Also, earlier
studies had described a need for more addressing
multiple lifestyle factors to better understand the
relationships between lifestyle and academic
performance and identify differences between
genders (Gomez, 2012).
DEFINITION OF TERMS
▪ For better understanding of the research work, the
following terms are defined operationally:
▪ Academic performance – refers to the level of schooling you
have successfully completed and the ability to
attain success in your studies. When you receive great
grades, this is an example of academic achievement. When
you attend college and graduate school, this is an example
of academic achievement
▪ GPA (Grade Point Average) – standard way of measuring
academic achievement.
▪ Eating habits – eating habits (or food habits) refers to why and how
people eat, which foods they eat, and with whom they eat, as well as the
ways people obtain, store, use, and discard food. Individual, social, cultural,
religious, economic, environmental, and political factors all influence
people's eating habits
▪ Health habits – is any behavior that benefits your physical, mental, and
emotional health. These habits improve your overall well-being and make
you feel good. Healthy habits are hard to develop and often require
changing your mindset.
▪ Hygiene – conditions or practices conducive to maintaining health and
preventing disease, especially through cleanliness.
▪ Lifestyle – way of living among students: set of attitudes, habits, or
properties associated with the students.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

▪ This chapter presents the method that was used in

gathering data for this study. This includes how data
was obtained to answer the problem, participants and
subjects of study, research design, sampling method,
ethical consideration, data collection, and data
gathering procedures, instruments of the study or
statistical tools and Data analysis.
PROCEDURE
▪ DESIGN
▪ Correlation research design method was used to correlate
the relationship between independent and dependent
variables. Independent Variables were the health habits of
the learners namely: eating habits, physical activities, and
personal hygiene. The other independent variables were
the lifestyle of the learners in terms of their; sleeping
habits, study habits, and other activities. The dependent
variables were the academic performance of the learners.
Mediating variables such as sex and age will also be
collected to see if these variables can affect the academic
performance of the learners.
 INSTRUMENTS OF THE STUDY
THE MATERIALS USED IN THIS STUDY WERE QUESTIONNAIRES THAT CONTAINED CERTAIN
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE PROBLEMS OF THIS STUDY: THE LIFESTYLE AND HEALTH HABITS OF
GRADE 8 STUDENTS AND WHETHER OR NOT THESE FACTORS WOULD AFFECT THEIR ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE.

THE FIRST PART OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE CONTAINED INFORMATION ABOUT THE

LEARNERS’ PERSONAL PROFILE OR DATA THAT WOULD BE THE BASIS FOR THE RESULTS OF THEIR
ANSWERS IN THE NEXT OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE. THE NEXT PART OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE
CONTAINED INFORMATION ABOUT LEARNERS’ HEALTH HABITS AND LIFESTYLE, WHICH WOULD
ALSO NEED THEIR ANSWERS. THE QUESTIONS REGARDING HEALTH HABITS WERE DIVIDED INTO
SUBTOPICS: EATING HABITS, PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES, AND PERSONAL HYGIENE.

MEANWHILE, THE QUESTIONS REGARDING LIFESTYLES WERE ALSO DIVIDED BY SUBTOPIC:

SLEEPING HABITS, STUDY HABITS, AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. QUESTIONS WERE VALIDATED BY AN
EXPERT IN THE SAID FIELD OF STUDY THEN THE DATA OBTAINED FROM THE ANSWERS OF
RESPONDENTS WOULD BE USED TO ANALYZE THE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEM OF THIS STUDY.
1. Parents must do ample supervision on their
children's activities if they want their children to
have a good academic perform especially
regarding study habits.
2. Parents must be conscious of the foods their
children eat and make sure that such food are
nutritious
3. In terms of the student's personal hygiene,
parents must see to it that they encourage their
children to be clean at all time.
4. A teacher must be aware of their students'
needs especially those students who have low
self-esteem. The teacher must make initiative in
approaching and in helping students.
