CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND IT’S BACKGROUND

Introduction

In this era of globalization and technological

revolution, education is considered as first step for every

human activity. It plays a vital role in the development of

human capital and is linked with an individuals well being

and opportunities for better living (Battle and Lewis, 2002).

Schools, colleges and universities have no worth without

students. Students are most essential asset for any

educational institute. The students performance also plays

an important role in producing the best quality graduates who

will become great leader and a man power for the country (ali

et al, 2009). A students level of intelligence is said to be

reflected by the grades that one’s attains. When a student

gets a high grade, it is concluded that one has learned a

lot, and if not the student would most likely have attained

lesser learning. In this matter, the academic performance of

students in most universities has become an object of inquiry

of researchers nowadays. It has become a top priority among

1
educators who have vowed to make a difference locally,

regionally, nationally and globally.

Education as defined is a field of study that deals

mainly with methods of teaching and learning in school

(http://merriam-webster.com). It is a field of study

focusing on how to transfer one’s knowledge to another. No

person came to this world as knowledgeable as he was today.

All the learning that he acquires came from different factors

including the environment. Nevertheless, there is numerous

factors that greatly affects the grades of every students

suah as IQ, study habits, age, year and social status. It

can also be termed as student factors, family factors, school

factors and peer factors(Crosnoe, Johnson and Elder, 2004).

But it has been long recognized that in the process of

learning the study habits of the students play an important

role in their performance academically.

When it talks about Intelligence Qoutient a.k.a IQ. A

man named Alfred Binet suggested that we measure someone

ability to learn or to succeed. Binet said that the way we

can do this is to compare 2 things. Firt we need to know how

old a child is which he called a persons chronological age,

the second one is to look for the mental age. To get a bit

more technical, Binet created an equation. The equation

2
look like this: Mental age/chronological age x 100=IQ. The

result of the testdoes not attempt to measure the amount of

information you have learned but rather your capacity to

learn.

In light of the aforementioned insights, the researchers

came up to a study entitled; Factors Affecting the Declining

of the Academic Performance of Grade 11 Haber of Del Gallego

National High School S/Y 2018-2019. In this point the

researchers would like to investigate and to know the possible

factors that affects students academic performance. The

reserach findings of the study will provide basis and

awareness not only for students but as well as the teachers

and school administration.

Definition of Terms

To broaden the knowledge in this study, the following

words are defined technically and operationally.

Academic means relating to education and scholarship not of

practical relevance, of only theoritical interest. A teacher

or scholar in a collage or institute of higher education.

Operationally, academic served as one of the variable of our

thesis title.

Aforementioned means denoting a thing or a person previously

mentioned. As used in the study, aforementioned was used as

another term to recall previous person or happening.

Chronologigal means starting with the earliest and following

the order in which they occured. The researchers defined

chronological as relating to the tables of the american

history.

Education means is the process of facilitating learning, or

the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, beliefs and

9
habits. As it is used in the study, Education refers to the

process by which or by how a person learned.

Intelligence Qoutient means a number representing a persons

reasoning ability. Operationally, IQ refers to the man’s

ability to learn.

Review of Related Study and Literature

Related Study

Foreign

Peetsma et al. (2005 ) reported a general decline

in student perfor-mance in a cross-sectional study of 12- to

16-year-olds across four countries: the Netherlands,

Switzerland, Czech Republic and eastern parts of Germany.

Student performance was assessedusing report card grades in

mathematics and the mother tongue on the last report card of

theyear. These school grades were made comparable across

countries. Mean scores of investmentand performance level

decreased with increasing age (i.e. three consecutive age

cohorts). Alimitation of this study with regard to a

developmental perspective on performance is that theconcepts

were investigated in a cross-sectional study

Gawande, E.N. (1988) studied the relationship between

achievement motivation and scholastic achievement of higher

secondary students of Class XI and found that the correlation

between achievement-motivation and scholastic achievement of

urban students was at higher level than that of rural

students. (ii)There was no significant difference in the

coefficient of correlation of achievement-motivation and

11
scholastic achievement of non-backward and backward students.

(iii) Boys were more achievement motivated than girls. (iv)

The mean difference in the scores of scholastic achievement

in boys and girls was not significant.

Mehta A.P(1969) Studied on the achievement motive in

high school boys the important findings were (i)the

achievement level of boys in Delhi are higher than that in

madras. (ii) The boys whose father educational level was

either high or low showed higher n-achievement level than

those whose father received only secondary education. (iii)

The achievement related motive showed negative correlation

with n-achievement with the total school performance and with

the self-expected vocational success. Whereas the measures on

achievement related values showed positive correlation with

their three variables (iv) the rural boys showed higher score

on achievement values than the urban boy

Nayak, B.P. (1990) Studied on achievement motivation and

level of aspiration of tribal and non-tribal children in the

age-group of 7-11 years was done and major findings were –

(i) Advantaged and disadvantaged groups differed

significantly with respect to their locus of control, self

esteem, academic motivation and scholastic achievement (ii)

Advantaged girls as compared to the disadvantaged had better

internal locus of control, self-esteem (higher score on

12
general, social, home and school sub-areas of self-esteem

scale) academic responsibility (towards self and schools)

academic motivation, good study habits, positive attitude

towards schools, high educational aspirations and higher

scholastic achievement. At three different levels (high,

average and low) of locus of control, self-esteem academic

responsibilities and academic motivation, the subjects

identified as advantaged and dis-advantaged when compared to

their scholastic achievement, showed a uniform pattern of

results.

Gohfied (1990) found positive correlation between

motivation and achievement specifically, young student with

higher academic intrinsic motivation has significantly high

achievement and intellectual performance. She also found that

early intrinsic motivation correlated with later motivation

and achievement and later motivation is the predictable from

early achievement (Gohfied 1990). It was found that perceived

academic competence was positively related to intrinsic

motivation.

Synthesis

Academic Performance of a students was one of the most

important role performed by a student, however some are not

able to maintain or to show their ability to increase their

13
academic performance. According to Peetsma et al. (2005) the

general declining of the academic performance of students in

some of the four countries is because of the cross-sectional

study. On the other hand, Gawande E.N. (1998) revealed that

the performance of those urban students compared to the rural

students has no significant difference. But according to him

boys were more achievement motivated than girls. Same study

revealed by Mehta A.P (1969) was that boys achievement level

from Delhi is higher than that in madras. Another study by

Nayak, B.P (1990) reveals that girls is also motivated in

regards to the level of aspiration and with the respect to

their locus of control, self esteem and good study habits. It

was clear to say that from the 5 foreign related studies

students are more motivated to achieve good or high academic

performance. Gohfied (1990) found positive correlation

between motivation and achievement specifically, young

student with higher academic intrinsic motivation.

Local Studies

The purpose of the study by Kim et al. (2003) was to

obtain a fuller understanding of the association of dietary

behaviors, physical status, and socio-economic status with

academic performance in Korean teenagers. The subjects in the

study were 6,463 boys and girls in grades 5 (10 –11 years

14
old), 8 (13 –14 years old), and 11 (16 –17 years old). The

academic performance of students was strongly associated with

dietary behaviors, especially with regularity of three meals

even after control for parents’ education level. Regular

breakfast and lunch were more important in grades 5 and 8,

while regular dinner was more related with academic

performance in grade 11. These results were the first to

demonstrate an association between regularity of all three

meals and academic performance. This study showed that not

only regular breakfast, but also regular lunch and dinner are

associated with academic functioning of teenagers. However,

the reason why regular meals are related to academic

performance was not clear.

Rivera (2007) investigated the relationship of the level

of academic performance. Most of the respondents belong to

the low-income families; Most of their parents finished high

school; the level of academic performance of the students is

good; the economic status and parents’ educational attainment

do not affect the academic performance of pupils. As inferred

from the observations and studies conducted by Ayson, Acosta,

Bernardo, Mariano, Quizon and Rivera discussed and showed

distinct similarities and differences with the present study

in several aspects. The present study and the previous studies

differed in the number of respondents and the year when the

15
research was conducted. They likewise differ on the causes of

factors that affect the academic performance. The researcher

considered that there should be an answer to the reasons of

the pupils’ low or high performance. The researcher further

recognized the need to identify and examine those factors

contributing to the decline of the quality of basic public

education, hence, this study. Based on the foregoing

discussion, the researcher found it vital to identify the

factors affecting the academic performance of the

intermediate pupils in selected public schools in Porac East

District.

In a study conducted by the School of Economics of De la

Salle University in 2009 as indicated in the volume II of

Policy Brief, based on household data,, it was empirically

verified that the magnitutde of household income does not

significantly affect school participation. Tereso Tullao Jr.

and Rivera, John Paulo (2009) found out that as the income of

household’s increases, they will also increase their

expenditures on normal goods and services including

education.

According to Hammer (2003) the home environment is as

important as what goes on in the school. Important factors

include parental involvement in their children’s education,

how much parents read to young children , how much TV children

16
are allowed to watch and how often student’s change schools.

Achievement gap is not only about what goes on once students

get into the classroom. It’s also about what happens to them

before and after school. Parents and teachers have a crucial

role to play to make sure that every child becomes a high

achiever. Results indicate that parent education and

encouragement are strongly related to improved students

achievement.

Synthesis

According to Kim et al (2003) academic performance of

students was strongly associated with dietary behaviors,

especially with regularity of three meals even after control

for parents educationlevel. This mean that if teenagers had

taken three meals then they will be able to understand and

this is also the reason why regular meals are related to

academic performance. Meanwhile, Rivera (2007) investigated

the relationship of the level of academic performance and the

findings were economic status and parents educational

attainment do not affect the academic performance of pupils.

Same study conducted by Economics of De la Salle University

(2009) the result gathered were revealed that household

income does not significantly affect school participation.

17
Tereso Tullao Jr. and Rivera, John Paulo (2009) found out

that as the income of household increases they will also

increase their expenditures in normal goods and services

including education. According to Hammer (2003) the home

environment greatly affect the performance of pupils

especially the parental involvement. In this matter, Parents

and Teachers have a crucial role to play to make sure that

every child become a high achiever.

It has become a focus of study of different policymakers,

researchers and practitioners to see and found the experienxe

of students in higher education. As the number of students

enrolled in higher education is increasing globally, it

hasbecome necessary to understand they experience higher

education in different national, institutional and

disciplinary settings.

National Union of students in 2008 conducted a broad

survey in UK universities to find out overall experiences of

students about university they study in. Some of the result

showed that many of the students were seeing university as a

mean to an end, means they wanted something out of university,

18
very few students(29%) reported that they wanted to

experience university. Similarly, 31% chose the university

they study because of the less travel distance from their

home. 81% of the students were well satisfied with resources

and facilities they were provided with their course work and

studies only 54& students were satisfied with the practical

facilities at the university whereas majority of students

responded with unsatisfaction. 75% students were employed as

well as studying. Almost 46& of them were reliant.

A study conducted by Wanyama(2013) in Kenya Investigated

school based factors which influence student’s performance at

Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education in Narok North

Districts. It was a descriptive survey research. Findings of

the study revealed that the major school based factor which

was influencing the performance of students were inadequate

learning materials. Similarly some school also identified

lack of availability of adequate teachers.

Another study in Uganda by Nannyonjo in 2007 suggested

that qualification training teacher, age and experience and

duration in a school affected students performance along with

the supervision styles and administration style implied by

principal of a school.

One study by Tinklin and Hall(1999) reported findings of

disabled students experiences in higher education in

19
Scotland. All higher education institutes were consulted for

policies and regulations for disabled students faced obstacle

in 5 areas of their higher education, assumption of normality

and levels of awareness were the major 5 areas of obstacle.

In most cases, instead of removing obstacles, only assistance

is provided to disabled students to pass through such

obstacle. This research also acknowledged of the positive

steps taken to improve the obstacles and improving access of

disabled students.

A study by Karemera in 2003 found out that students

performance highly depends on the facilities available at

university such as computer labs, libraries and transport

etc. And it affects their satisfaction level for university

too. Similarly, Young in 1999 also suggested that students

who avail the library of university achieve more academically

then students who do not.

Synthesis

National Union of students in 2008 conducted a survey to

measure and findout the overall experiences of students and

the result they gathered is that students see universities as

a meanto an end. On the other hand Wanyama(2013) conducted

a study and the result revealed was the major subjects in

20
scholl is the factor that influence students performance and

same school identified lack of availability of adequate

teachers. In that matter, another study conducted in Uganda

by Nannyonjo in 2007 which suggested that teachers should

have a qualification training experience and duration in

school. Tinklin and Hall also conducted a study and the

reported findings of disabled students were given a

consideration due to their assumption of normality and levels

ofawareness. Last study conducted by (Karemera in 2003)

found that the students performance highly depend to the

facilities availability such as computer and libraries.

Local Literature

Senator Edgardo J. Angara (LDP) revealed a 3-point

agenda to revive the quality education, as well as to address

the problem of filipino competitiveness in the global work

force industry. “Higher Education has now become

international. Today, we train people not just for our work

force need. We train them for the world . And when people

from other countries come here, they willcome here to look

for the global-quality graduates,” said Angara.

Another research findings cited by Macalino et. al

(2005), the Philippine Journal of Education (2005) stated

21
that quality classroom instruction largely depends on quality

teachers, schools and learners. The bulk of accountability

however lies to teachers being indispensable character in the

teaching learning process. No one has a better influence in

learning than the teacher. In fact, the quality of the school

and quality of classroom instruction is very much dependent

upon the quality of teachers who teach in school essentially,

quality output emanates from the quality inputs.

Synthesis

Senator Edgardo J. Angara revealed that to revive a

quality education we have to train not just for our work force

but we have to train them for the world so that when people

from other countries come here, they will come here to look

for the global-quality graduates. Macalino et. Al stated

that quality classroom instruction largely depends on quality

teachers, schools and learners.

RESEARCH METHOD AND PROCEDURE

This chapter presents the method and procedure of

research and technique of statistical analysis of data that

is to used in this study.

RESEARCH METHOD

The researchers will use purposive sampling method in

this study to the total of 20 respondents. This study will

also use to describe the data into the simplest manner and

give an adequate and accurate interpretation about the study.

SAMPLE AND SAMPLING TECHNIQUE

The research will employ 20 Grade XI-Haber students of

Del Gallego National High Scholl. The sampling technique

will be the purposive sampling under the non-probability

sampling method. In this type, the sampling units are

selected subjectively by the researchers who attempt to

obtain a sample that appears to be a representative of the

population. It will depend upon the subjective judgement of

the researchers among the population was qualififed be the

exact example of this study.

25
RESPONDENTS OF THE STUDY

The respondents of this study are the selected students

of Grade XI-Haber students of Del Gallego National High Scholl

with the total of 20 . The researchers will get almost 50% of

the total population. The respondents are consist of 20 Male

Grade XI-Haber students.

RESEARCH LOCALE

The town of Del Gallego at the earliest 60’s is a growing

community situated at the northern part of Camarines Sur, 90

kilometers away from the heart of Bicolandia, such was the

situation,why few Gallegorians then pursue higher education.

We all know that deep within our nature lies the

inclination to achieved perfection, education plays a vital

role in this research and this realitytriggers the heart of

Gallegoians led by the local leaders. Barangay Captain

Eduardo Q. Uy of Poblacion Zone 1 on 1968 led to put up a

national high school.

Later in year 1969, this bright idea was realized: the

Del Gallego National HighSchool was opened for the freshmen

students. The new born instituion find her home with the

welcoming hands and caring of Del Gallego Central School and

it’s administration and as he starts sailing through the

26
waters of promises, 2 educators unselfishly shared their

talents and manage the voyage.

On the financial requirements, parents paid monthly

tuition fees to the municipal treasurer for the salary of

teachers. For documents and records, it was checked by

Calabanga High School Principal as head of Mother School.

Enrolment increased yearly and management of school

transferred to the Elemntary Central Principal.

In 1985, Dr. Ariston M. Villareal who was then a

Principal in the Elemntary Central School created a Head

Teacher Position for Secondary. The institution became fully

administered by the secondary school educators under the

leadership of Mrs. Pillar C. Salvino, the head teacher.

The reality of studentss growing population required

attention from the school administration. With the help of

the concerned parents, they work togetehr, raising funds to

purchase permanent place of its own. The school

Administration, Parent Teachers Association headed by

Presidents Ressurection C. Silang conducted apopularity

contest and through the effort of former Municipal Mayor

Selverion Veluz Villafuerte Sr. For the additional fund to

suffice the financial requirement of the school site.

Consequently, the first and second year students were

transferred to the new site on 1986 which temporarily Held

27
classes inside their ”Nipa Sawali” classrooms and third and

fourth year student are still housed in the elemntary while

waiting for construction building.

Finally, great changes occured when the government

implemented RA 6655, otherwise known as Free P:ublic 1988-

1989. The name barangay high school was changed to national

high school. Students were given free tuition fees by salary

of teachers and other benefits were shouldered by the

government.

Year 1994, the school was given full pledge

principal item together with this was the reshuffling of newly

promoted school heads withinthedivision. Mrs. Pilar C.

Salvino, who then, left for another area of assignments, was

succeeded by Miss Alicia L. Motarosa as full pledge principal

of the school.after Ten years, Mrs. Pilar once again assigned

to manage the school from 2004 to 2011. In 2012Mrs. Rosemarie

N. Panuelos Former Head Teacher of Del Gallego High School

took over the management of the school from 2011-2014.

At the present Del Gallego National High School is

under the leadership of School Principal Mrs. Judith C.

Magcawas and nationally-funded employees consisting of 36

teaching personnel and 3 non-teaching personnel.

28
DATA GATHERING

To gather the necesarry information that the researchers

needed, series of procedure will be done. First, the

researchers will select 20 Grad XI-Haber students. Then the

researchers will ask permission from the respondents if they

be allowed to administer the test, the researchers will give

a brief information about the test and the researchers will

tell the respondents that whatever their answer will be

treated with confidently. And lastly, when they are done

answering the test, the researchers will thank th

erespondents for their trust and cooperation. The

researchers will conduct this study at Del Gallego National

High School at Barangay Comadogcadog , Del Gallego Camarines

Sur.

INSTRUMENT USED

The researchers will use survey questionnaires. The

questionnaire will seek the information on the Causes of

Declining of the Academic Performance of Grade XI-Haber

Students of Del Gallego National High School, School Year

2018-2019.
