CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

In this era of globalization and technological revolution, education is considered as

a first step for every human activity. It plays a vital role in the development of human

capital and is linked with an individual’s well-being and opportunities for better living

(Battle & Lewis,2008) Academic performance is the most important for every students.

This increase in productivity also leads towards new sources of earning which enhances

the economic growth of a country (Saxton) The students’ academic performance plays a

vital role in creating the finest quality alumnae who will become leader and power of a

particular country, consequently responsible for the country's social and economic

development (Ali et. el, 2009).

The performance of every students inside their class is affected by personal, social,

psychological, economic environmental factors. These factors influence the performance

of every students its either negative or positive. Most of the factors that affects the

performance of the students of k-12 curriculum focused on such issues like family

background, the style of teaching, gender issues like gender role, class environment teacher

education and socioeconomic factor. Students’ academic performance and achievement

plays an important role in producing the best quality graduates who will become great

leader and manpower for our country thus responsible for the country’s economic and

social development. The performance of students in schools or university should be a

concern not only by the administrators, educators, or professors but also in the parents of

the students. Many studies are carried out to explore factors affecting students’ academic

performance and achievement. They need to be concern about their selves and about the

factors that may affect their academic performance. Students’ characteristics may also

affect on their performance, it may promotes academic success or failed. Characteristics or

qualities such as psychological needs and social skills, namely self-efficacy, motivation,

attitudes and behavior, academic competency, communication skills, collaboration,

cooperation, and team capabilities are important for the students’ academic performance.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Moshe, (2014) said that, students’ performance was affected by shortage of English
teachers and absence of teaching and learning materials. However, her findings showed
that, the presence of untrained, under-qualified and trained teachers who are incompetent
resulted to skip teaching some difficult topics in the syllabus and students’ infrequent use
of English language at school and home, large class size, teachers’ responsibilities, poor
conducive teaching and learning environment in the classrooms, limited home support
environment and poverty are among the factors that affecting students’ academic
performance in English Language. Students’ effort, previous schooling parents’ education,
family income, self motivation, age of student ,learning preferences, class attendance and
entry qualifications as factors that have a significant effect on the students’ academic
performance in various settings. (Ali Shoukat at el 2008), said that the factors affecting
academic performance are gender, age, schooling, father/guardian social economic status,

11.

residential area, medium of schooling, tuition trend, daily study hours and accommodation
trend are the factors affecting academic performance.

( Graetz 2007)conducted a study on study on socio- economic status of the parents


of students and concluded that the socio economic background has a great impact on
student’s academic performance.( Pedrosaet. Al 2010) in their study on social and
educational background pointed out those students who mostly come from deprived socio-
economic and educational background performed relatively better than others coming from
higher social-economic and educational area. Eamon (2010) “Those students usually come
out from low socio-economic status or area show low performance in studies and obtained
low scores as compared to the other students or their counter parts” .A number of studies
have been carried out to identify causal factors of poor academic performance in a
number of institutions worldwide. Most of the study focus on the three intervening
elements: parents (family causal factors), teachers (academic causal, factors), and
students (personal causal factors) (Diaz). One of the studies from a secondary school
level revealedthat socioeconomic status (SES) and parents' education have a significant
effect on students' overall academic achievement, as well as achievement in the
subjects of Mathematics and English. The achievement of students is negatively correlated
with the low SES level of parents because it hinders the individual in gaining access to
sources and resources of learning (Duke, 2012; Eamon; Lopez,)

Most of the research has explored many different and important factors that can
affect the student’s performance. Most of these factors were income of parents,
contribution of parents in the study of their children, the area to which they belong, the
educational background of the parents, behavior of teacher in the class, their contribution
in the academic achievements of the students and the importance of co-curricular activities
in their educational achievements. One also factor is about the financial problem. The

12.
`
ST. CLARE COLLEGE OF CALOOCAN

Senior High School Department
Home Economics
students who have the strong financial background tend to have a more CGPA in their
academic career than the students who have a weak financial background (Aghus and
Makhbul 2007).

The reason may be the students with weak financial background have to strive
hard for their studies as well as their living expenses. Or other reason may be that the rich
parents provide their children with all important and necessary facilities for their
educational achievements and they in return give good results in their examination
.Different studies and research have also shown that there is a significant relationship
between the parent’s education and student’s performance. The parent’s education is
positively related to the student’s achievements in studies (Doyle 2006) observed from his
study that those teachers are successful in the classrooms that use a variety of techniques
and interactive to teach as compared to those who use formal methods. Another important
factor in this regard can be the region or area to which the students belong. It has been
observed from the study conducted by Washbrune that students who belong to the urban
areas give better academic performance as compared to those who come from less
populated areas. The results show that the income variable is positively associated with the
students’ performance. This means that the parents who have high income, their children
show good performance in the studies. Maybe the students who have a strong financial
background are tend to have a good CGPA score in their studies.(Duke, 2012; Eamon, ;
Lopez, ).There’s more factors that we need to know to solve that factor.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

To students to know what are the possible affect of K-12 to the students

To Parents to Know how the K-12 affect the Performance of their children.

To researchers to aware them what are the affects.

The study intends to investigate on the factors that affecting the academic performance Of

the students such as students’ characteristic and the people around them. This study is very

useful for us to know why other students are successful and failed about their academic

performance inside their classroom. The factors affecting to them may stop if these factors

affected them negatively and it may continue if these factors affected them positively. The

study may provide feedback the status of teaching and learning facilities such as,

chemicals, textbooks, chalks, laboratory ,equipment’s. The feedback may guide to improve

its resources allocation in k-12 students specially gr.11 and 12 aiming at improving the

quality of education in schools. The study may provide feedback on the status of guidance

and counseling as a component needed to support students growth through effective use of

time, decision making and hence good performance among secondary schools students.

The study expects to bring useful insights on which to build, modify or improve the ways

of teaching/learning in context. On other hand, the study is important for educational

stakeholders including :-Researchers, Politicians, Heads of Schools , Teachers, Parents of

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Academic performance is very important in every students specially in senior high


school

It’s basically measures how students performed well in various assessments with
criteria given by their educators or professors.

The problem is we doesn’t even know why other students cant performed well in
their academics. What are the factors that can affect to their performance? Is that all
negative? How it can be positive?

SCOPE AND DEFINITION OF THE STUDY

Academic performance is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution

has achieved their short or long-term educational goals. Cumulative GPA and completion

of educational benchmarks such as secondary school diplomas and bachelor's degrees

represent academic achievement and also the knowledge and skills of the students that they

mastered in their strand or courses.

Determining the factors affecting the student’s academic perfomace of k-12

curriculum was the focus of this research/study. All the information and conclusion drawn

from this study were obtained to the particular group of students

Interview questionnaire were given to selected Gr.11 and 12 students for total of

15students, 13 interviews for the girls and 2 for the boys. They will be interview (5)minutes

to answer the questions that were given to them.

CHAPTER II

FOREIGN LITERATURE

Galiher (2006) and Darling (2005), used GPA to measure student performance

because the main focus in the student performance for the particular semester. Some other

researchers used test results or previous year result since they are studying performance for

the specific subject or year (Hijazi and Naqvi, 2006 and Hake). Many researchers have

discussed the different factors that affect the student academic performance in their

research. There are two types of factors that affect the students‘ academic performance.

These are internal and external classroom factors and these factors strongly

affect the students‘ performance. Internal classroom factors includes students competence

in English, class schedules, class size, English text books, class test results, learning

facilities, homework, environment of the class, complexity of the course material, teachers

role in the class, technology used in the class and exams systems .External classroom

factors include extracurricular activities, family problems, work and financial, social and

other problems.

Research studies shows that students‘ performance depends on many factors

such as learning facilities, gender and age differences, etc. that can affect student

21.
`

Senior High School Department
Home Economics
performance (Hansen, Joe B., 2010). Harb and El-Shaarawi (2006) found that the most

important factor with positive effect on students' performance is Parental Involvement.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

In his widely cited paper, Romer (2007) is one of the first few authors to explore the

relationship between student attendance and exam performance. A number of factors have

contributed to declining class attendances around the world in the last 15 years. The major

reasons given by students for non-attendance include assessment pressures, poor delivery

of lectures, timing of lectures, and work commitments (Newman-Ford, Lloyd & Thomas,

2009). In recent times, students have found a need to seek employment while studying on

a part-time basis due to financial constraints. The numbers of part-time and mature students

has also risen sharply. The use of information technology also means that information that

used to be obtained from sitting through lectures can be obtained at the click of a mouse.

Indeed, web-based learning approaches have become the order of the day. Given all these

developments that either makes it impossible or unnecessary for students to attend classes,

the question that needs to be asked is whether absenteeism affects students‘ academic

performance. Research on this subject seems to provide a consensus that students who miss

classes perform poorly compared to those who attend classes (Devadoss& Foltz,; Durden&

Ellis, ; Romer, ; Park & Kerr, ; Schmidt,). Based on these findings a number of stakeholders

22.
`
ST. CLARE COLLEGE OF CALOOCAN
Zabarte Road, Caloocan City

Home Economics
have called for mandatory class attendance. Although the existing evidence points to a

strong correlation between attendance and academic performance, none of the studies cited

above demonstrate a causal effect. The inability of these cross-sectional studies to isolate

attendance from a myriad of confounding student characteristics (e.g. levels of motivation,

intelligence, prior learning, and time-management skills) is a major limiting factor to the

utility of these findings (Rodgers & Rodgers, 2003).Controlled for student differences in

background, ability and motivation, and reported a nonlinear effect of attendance on

learning, that is, a few absences do not lead to poor grades but excessive absenteeism does.

Educational services are often not tangible and are difficult to measure because they result

in the form of transformation of knowledge, life skills and behavior modifications of

learners (Tsinidou, Gerogiannis, & Fitsilis, 2010). So there is no commonly agreed upon

definition of quality that is applied to education field. The definition of quality of education

varies from culture to culture (Michael,2008). The environment and the personal

characteristics of learners play an important role in their academic success.

The school personnel, members of the families and communities provide help and

support to students for the quality of their academic performance. This social assistance

has a crucial role for the accomplishment of performance goals of students at school

(Goddard, 2003). Besides the social structure, parents’ involvement in their child‘s

education increases the rate of academic success of their child motivation, and reported a

nonlinear effect of attendance on learning, that is, a few absences do not lead to poor grades

but excessive absenteeism does.

school (Goddard, 2003). Besides the social structure, parents‘ involvement in their child‘s

education increases the rate of academic success of their child.

MEDIA/TECHNOLOGY

Education encounters, in modern times, challenges in all aspects of social,

economic &cultural life; the most important of which are over-population, over-

knowledge, education philosophy development & the change of teacher‘s role, the spread

of illiteracy, lack of the staff& the technological development & mass media (Aloraini,

2005, p. 30-32). This drove the teaching staff to use the modern teaching technologies to

24.

Home Economics
face some of the main problems, which education & its productivity encounter, by

increasing the learning level which may be achieved through providing equivalent

opportunities for all people whenever & wherever they are, while taking into account the

individual differences between learners.

The researcher thinks that multimedia is one of the best educational

techniques because it addresses more than one sense simultaneously, as it addresses the

senses of sight & hearing .Multimedia programs provide different stimuli in their

presentations which include a number of elements some of which are (Aloraini, 2005, p.

55 – 75): Texts, spoken words, sound & music, graphics, animations and still pictures.

These elements were mainstreamed in a comprehensive presentation so as to provide

effective education, which in turn will support the participation of the different senses of

the learners in diverse syllabi. (Hadmin,2000). To improve the educational productivity,

some of the teaching staff sought to mainstream technology within education, developing

traditional techniques & using new educational methods (Al-A‘ny, 2000).Mainstreaming

the technological media within what is called “Multimedia‘‘ is the pattern which led to

infinite applications of computer technologies. The concept of this technology came into

being with the appearance of soundcards, then compact disks, then came the use of digital

camera, then the video which made computer an essential educational tool.

PHYSICAL

Mahar (2006), Habitual physical activity is vital for enhancing overall health.

Lifestyle behaviors adopted in childhood tend to track into adulthood, and more active

children tend to be more active as adults than their sedentary peers, thus aiding in the

prevention of diseases such as obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and other

health problems. Unfortunately, physical activity among children and adolescents has

declined, and increasing numbers of children are spending more time in sedentary

activities. A review of the literature reveals that few studies have been conducted to

evaluate the physical activity levels of elementary school children during a typical school

day. Likewise, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of physical activity

on the classroom behavior of elementary school children. Additional research is also

needed to evaluate the effectiveness of classroom-based physical activity programs on on-

task behavior and academic performance. Because on-task behavior can be directly linked

to physical activity that is performed immediately preceding the observation period, it may

be the most appropriate variable to evaluate relative to academic performance.

SOCIAL

From Wikipedia (2009), the term psychosocial refers to one in psychological

development in and interaction with a social environment. The individual is not necessarily

26.
`

Home Economics
fully aware of this relationship with his or her environment .In 2004, Barker and Garvin

Doxas stress that a learning environment includes physical surroundings, psychosocial or

emotional components, social and cultural influence that exist in a learning situation. Ozay,

et.al (2004) also pointed out that classroom environment factors have been found to be

particularly influential on student results. Learning Theories.com (2012, April 12),

exemplifies on Vygotsky‘s Social Development Theory that social interaction plays a

fundamental role in the process of cognitive development. Such occurs first between the

child and other people (inter psychological) and then inside the child (intra-psychological).

Other people can be conceptualized as the ―The More Knowledgeable Other (MKO)‖.

The MKO refers to anyone who has a better understanding or a higher ability level than

the learner, with respect to a particular task, process, or concept. The MKO is normally

thought of as being a teacher, and could also be peers. When Aronson (2003) first published

“The Social Animal” in 1972, he confirmed scientifically what people knew experientially:

Human beings are social in their very nature. In fact, Dunbar (1998) hypothesized that the

large human brain evolved primarily to adapt to an increasingly complex social

environment. As Goleman (2006) puts it ―We are wired to connect. The domain of social

intelligence and development is a critical component of descriptions of human ability and

behavior (Albrecht, 2006; Gardner, 1983/1993, 2006). Social skills are important t for

preparing young people to mature and succeed in their adult roles within the family,

workplace, and community (Ten Dam & Volman, 2007). Elias et al. (1997) suggested those

involved in guiding children and youth should pay special attention to this domain: social

skills allow people to succeed not only in their social lives, but also in their academic,

personal, and future professional activities.

EMOTIONAL

Emotion may be seen as a complex of feelings, sensations and tendencies to action

accompany by stirred-up bodily conditions and directed toward a specific object or

situation. covers a wide range of behavior that is agitated and without definite orientation,

as well as behavior that is highly motivated and goal directed. It has been defined as ―a

strong feeling or agitation involving internal and external bodily changes‖ or ―a condition

of upset that drives the individual to move. Emotional states from the mildest effective

states of pleasantness and unpleasantness to the more intense states. John Dewey began

with an eloquent plea for the education of the whole child. Study shows that our emotional

system is a complex, widely distributed, and error-prone system that defines our basic

personality early in life, and is quite resistant to change. Far more neural fibers project from

our brain‘s emotional center into the logical/rational centers than the reverse, so emotion

is often a powerful determinant of our behavior than our brain‘s logical/rational processes.

Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains was created in 1956 under the leadership of

educational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Bloom in order to promote higher forms of thinking

in education, such as analyzing and evaluating, rather than just remembering facts (rote

learning).In the affective domain of the learners (Krathwohl, Bloom, Masia, 1973) includes

the manner in which we deal with things emotionally, such as feelings, values,

28.

appreciation, enthusiasms ,motivations, and attitudes. The five major categories are listed

from the simplest behavior to the most complex. According to Dean Taylor, students

between the ages 5 and 18 years of age are expected to learn in school. It is their primary

job in this society, and it‘s possibly the one thing that will prepare them to become

productive members in their adult years. What they learn will also determine the choices

they make when they enter the workforce or continue into higher education. In order for

students to learn there are several factors that must be considered. Most of these factors are

external; they deal with social or cultural values. Also, it may be determined by the school‘s

environment as well as the teachers and the administrations that teach them. Still, another

important factor falls upon the student‘s ability and willingness to learn. Thorndike, like

many of the early behavioral learning theorists, linked behavior to physical reflexes. In his

early work he also viewed most behavior as a response to stimuli in the environment. This

view that stimuli can prompt responses was the forerunner of what became known as

stimulus-response (S-R) theory (Elliot et al,2006). Thorndike developed his Law of Effect

which states that if an act is followed by a satisfying change in the environment, the

likelihood that the act will be repeated in similar situations increases. According to

Thorndike, pupils learn more effectively and easily, and retain that learning longer, if it has

pleasant consequences. Thus, rewards, successes, or positive reinforcement further

learning, while punishments, failures or negative experiences hinder it. English

philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke disagreed. They argued that all human

experiences including sensations, images, thoughts, and feelings are physical processes

29.

occurring within the brain and nervous system. Therefore, these experiences are valid

subjects of study. In this view, which later became known as monism, the mind and body

are one and the same. Today, in light of years of research indicating that the physical and

mental aspects. of the human experience are intertwined, most psychologists reject a rigid

dualist position.(Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2009. © 1993-2008 Microsoft Corporation)

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILD

Parents‘ positive attitude towards child‘s education is important in determining

school attendance and academic achievement of the child. Favorable attitude towards

schooling and education enhances parental involvement in children‘s present and future

studies . It is more likely a child with doctors as parents will end up pursuing higher

education- possibly medical school, than the child whose parent‘s education stopped at a

high school diploma. This is not to stay that the child‘s education is predetermined by the

parent‘s education; however it is merely one factor that can affect the student‘s desire to

learn. the affluent parent will have access to educational resources for his/her child directly

or indirectly. It is more likely that these parents will have higher regards for education ,set

educational goals for the child and/or be models. Krashen (2005) concluded that students

whose parents are educated score higher on standardized tests than those whose parents

were not educated. Educated parents can better communicate with their children regarding

the school work, activities and the information being taught at school. They can better assist

their children in their work and participate at school (Fantuzzo & Tighe, 2007; Trusty,)

Theory of Educational Productivity by Walberg (2010) determined three

groups of nine factors based on affective, cognitive and behavioral skills for optimization

of learning that affect the quality of academic performance: Aptitude (ability, development

and motivation). (amount and quality); environment (home, classroom, peers and

television) (Roberts, 2007). The home environment also affects the academic performance

of students. Educated parents can provide such an environment that suits best for academic

success of their children. The school authorities can provide counseling and guidance to

parents for creating positive home environment for improvement in students‘ quality of

work (Marzano, 2003). The academic performance of students heavily depends upon the

parental involvement in their academic activities to attain the higher level of quality in

academic success (Barnard, 2004; Henderson,1988; Shumox & Lomax, 2001).

Parental involvement in a child‘s education along with environmental and

economic factors may affect child development in areas such as cognition, language, and

social skills. Numerous studies in this area have demonstrated the importance of family

interaction and involvement in the years prior to entering school (Bergsten; Hill, 2001;

Wynn, 2002). Research findings have also shown that a continued effort of parental

involvement throughout the child‘s education can improve academic achievement

(Driessen, Smit & Sleegers, 2005; Fan,2001; Hong & Ho, 2005). Academic failure has

been linked with risk behaviors and negative outcomes such as; substance abuse,

delinquency, and emotional and behavioral problems(Annunziata, Houge, Faw, & Liddle,

31.

2006). Weiss et al. (2006) also provide an integrative model of family involvement that is

evidence-based or clearly linked to positive child outcomes. Their model encompasses

three important categories: Parenting, Home-School Relationships And Responsibility for

Learning Outcomes Parenting includes the attitudes, values, and practices that parents use

in raising young children. This category would include nurturing parent-child relationships

and child-centered practices. Home-School Relationships pertain to both formal and

informal connections. between families and young children‘s early childhood education

programs. It may include regular communication with teachers and efforts by the early

childhood education programs to discussion groups. Responsibility for Learning Outcome

speaks to how parents can support the language and literacy development of their children

through direct parent-teaching activities such as reading aloud and engaging in

linguistically rich conversations with their children.

Dowling believed that human teachers characteristically perform a wide range of

activities that we subsume under the general heading of ‗teaching‘. Those include planning

and designing, demonstrating, guiding, telling, questioning, testing, recording, motivating,

and criticizing even learning. Many of these aspects of a teacher‘s role require significant

expertise and the making of finely tuned and sensitive judgments based on both breadth

and depth of experience. This is important, for instance, in relation to the provision of

appropriate scaffolding to learners. It can also be argued that the human teacher is in a

strong position, in particular by virtue of overall life experience and sophistication as a

communicator, to both model and facilitate co-operative learning behaviors.

According to the Ministerial Round Table Meeting (2003), the image of the teacher

as a specialist in a specific subject who stands alone in front of the class is still a reality

today in many contexts, particularly at the elementary level. However, this perception of

the role of teachers no longer matches the demands of teaching and the expectations that

are made with regard to the education of young people. Even if the teaching profession has

preserved an element have changed and are continually changing knowledge and ways to

access it, the influence of the media, societal demands, the social environment, the students

themselves, etc. The teacher is moving away from being a ―transmitter of knowledge‖ and

led more and more towards becoming a ―mediator in the construction of knowledge‖ a

facilitator and even at times, a social worker. He or She must also foster the development

of social skills and create a learning environment that will encourage young people to learn

to live together and to become responsible citizens.

Faced with expanding access to secondary education, the growing heterogeneity

of students, the redefinition of objectives, learning content, working methods and Due to

low performance of the pupils, it has always been blamed on the low of efficiency of

teachers. In response to this, in the article written by Evasco (2007), he quote, ―We have

to look for other factors to account for the deterioration of quality instruction. It is a firm

belief that the failure to address quality instruction has something to do with student‘s

socio-economic status and our culture towards education.” Students‘ perceptions of teacher

support have a direct effect on their interest and motivation (Wentzel,2007), and teachers‘

expectations of student achievement(which has an affective component) influence the way

they behave toward their students and thus can affect students‘ motivation, self-

perceptions, and academic performance (Jussim & Harber, 2008).However, teacher

support in the form of care for students‘ well-being and comfort may be necessary but

insufficient to promote mastery goal orientation: Care and concern for students‘ learning

may also be required (Patrick, Anderman, Ryan, Edelin, & Midgley, 2007). Teachers are

role models who continuously induce and respond to the emotional reactions of their

students. Pianta et al. (2010) applied components of attachment theory (Ainsworth,

Belehar,Waters, & Wall, ; Bowlby,2008) in understanding teacher - student relationships

and the teacher‘s function as an important role mode. According to attachment theory,

35.
`
ST. CLARE COLLEGE OF CALOOCAN

Home Economics
relationships with supportive caregivers, characterized by trust, responsiveness, and

involvement, promote social and emotional development through the development of

healthy internalized working models. Children with supportive internal working models

feel a sense of security that allows them to explore novel situations (Bretherton

&Munholland,2007). Therefore, when teachers are warm and supportive, they provide

students with a sense of connectedness with the school environment and the sense of

security to explore new ideas and take risks — both fundamental to learning (Mitchell-

Copeland, Denham, & DeMulder, 2010; Murray & Greenberg, 2011; Watson, 2009).

However, it is not always easy to be warm and supportive, especially when provocative

student behaviors thwart the teacher‘s efficacy to perform his or her primary instructional

role and/or the school culture promotes punitive control measures over more authoritative

approaches (G. R. Mayer, 2001). Although the quality of student – teacher relationship

depends, in part, on how teachers express and process negative emotions (George &

Solomon, 1996), as we reviewed above, for many teachers, regulating negative emotions

in the classroom can be challenging and is a commonly reported stressor (Carson &

Templin, 2007; Sutton, 2008). Although they regularly face situations that provoke anger,

contempt, disgust, sadness, and frustration, to develop and maintain health yrelationships

with their students teachers must find appropriate ways to express (or inhibit) their feelings

in a classroom setting (Hargreaves, 2007). Although teachers recognize the importance of

regulating their emotions and think they are keeping their feelings hidden from students,

often they are less successful than they imagine (Carson & Templin, 2007; Sutton, 2009;

36.
`
ST. CLARE COLLEGE OF CALOOCAN
Zabarte Road, Caloocan City
Senior High School Department
Home Economics
Sutton &Wheatley, 2007). Teachers are expected to overcome all of these obstacles, yet

have not been adequately educated to understand how these life circumstances affect the

families they serve. Working in low-income, urban schools proves to be more challenging

than many teachers expected and is often far different from their own experiences with

schooling. The teachers are a part of this system that they often do not fully understand. As

a result, educators are likely to engage in behaviors that contribute to the achievement gap.

This is particularly dangerous because research shows that the teacher is one of the greatest

factors in student success (McNeal,2007). When teachers are unprepared to cope with the

realities of their students‘ lives and unaware of how schooling contributes to this reality,

success can be difficult to achieve. According to Gallavan et al (2009) Teachers, especially

at the novice level, are not aware of the vastly different worlds their students live in.

Instead, they assume that their students are just like them. This assumption allows for many

teachers to utilize educational approaches that they witnessed growing up. As a result,

when their own students struggle to succeed, they blame the child because the methodology

had been effective in their own schooling. A teacher‘s skill, expertise and willingness can

help student to learn. In the art of teaching, anything a teacher does is going to be

scrutinized by the students. If the teacher serves as an ideal role model, demonstrates

competence, as well as confidence, in the subject he or she is teaching, the students will

respond positively. This rule applies to administrators as well. In the contrary, the

favoritism of the teacher can also affect the learning process of the students. The way their

teachers deal with them is one thing. Though teachers have different strategy on imparting

knowledge, students do not understand it easily

FOREIGN STUDY

More and more research studies demonstrate that daytime sleepiness from chronic

sleep deprivation and poor quality sleep has significant impacts on daytime behavior and

academic performance, as well as concentration, attention, and mood, Breus (2009). Even

20 fewer minutes of needed sleep may significantly affect behavior in many areas. One

study showed that those.

From elementary school through high school and beyond, a great many of our

children are chronically sleep-deprived. With more than 2/3 of all children having some

kind of sleep students with C‘s, D‘s and F‘s got about 25 fewer minutes of sleep and went

to bed an average of40 minutes later than A and B students. problem, and most adolescents

not getting enough sleep, many will struggle to meet the barrage of new challenges,

demands, and emotions of a new school year. It is not widely recognized and appreciated

just how pervasive and critical quality sleep is for brain development and how it directly

influences daytime functioning, performance, mood and behavior.

The absence of stress is a safety net where the children are protected, secure and happy and

conduct disorders are at higher risk for depression. The Academy of Adolescent Psychiatry

lists some symptoms of childhood depression: persistent depression; inability to enjoy

previously favorite activities; frequent absences from school or poor performance;

continuing low energy or motivation; poor concentration; a major change in sleeping or

eating patterns and difficulty dealing with everyday activities and responsibilities.

Kuzma (2008) Children needs positive attention. Criticism, complaining and

negative comments are discouraging and often result in more misbehavior. But

encouragement, optimism and positive strokes are to kids as fertilizer is to plants. It‘s the

stuff that really makes them flourish-as Rudolf Dreikers statement that ―each child needs

continuous encouragement just as a plant needs water.

The lack of positive attention can cause tremendous behavior problems in

children. And how surprising isn‘t it, when one child is so good and the next so ―slow and

having bad performance‖ even though we treat both of them the same. You seem to get

opposite results. There a son for this is that children are born with different characteristics

that make them either easy or difficult to learn with.

The involvement of parents as teachers to their children play an important role to

contribute to a good performance like in reading development and formation of reading

habits of the children utilizing various stimulating techniques. It is important that they‘re

most likely prepared with reading experiences to fell enjoyment, satisfaction, confidence

and appreciation of the different school activities. Parents misconstrue that it is teacher‘s

obligation to teach everything to their children and not theirs. It is more significant if they

always find time for their children to read to make their children become efficient and

skilled readers and for them to develop high reading performance (Dogelio, 2010)

Researchers conducted a meta-analysis to synthesize the quantitative literature

concerning the relationship between parental involvement and children‘s academic

achievement. Their findings revealed a ―moderate and practically meaningful‖

relationship between parental involvement and academic achievement. Parental

aspiration/expectation for children‘s educational achievement was the strongest

relationship, while parental home supervision was the weakest. The relation of parent

involvement to achievement was also stronger as a ―global indicator‖ of academic

achievement (e.g. grade point average) than as a predictor of student achievement in

specific subject areas.( Fan, X.T., & Chen, M. (2001). Parental involvement and students‘

academic achievement: A meta-analysis. Educational Psychology Review, 13,1-22.) This

article analyzes how specific parenting practices, both at home and at school, relate to

student achievement.

Researchers have been studying the connection between social development

and academic achievement for decades and have come to a startling conclusion: the single

best predictor of adult adaptation is not academic achievement or intelligence, but rather

the ability of the child to get along with other children (Hartup,2008). Additionally,

Wentzle (2009) found that pro social and antisocial behavior are significantly related to

40.
`

Home Economics
grade point average and standardized test scores, as well as teachers‘ preferences for the

student.

These studies, and others like them indicate that a socially adjusted child is more

likely to be the academically successful child. As an explanation for why social

development is important to the academic learning process, Caprara, Barbanelli, Pastorelli,

Bandura (2010) noted that aggression and other maladaptive behaviors detract from

academic success by ‗undermining academic pursuits and creating socially alienating

conditions‘ for the aggressive child. Studies show also that if children are delayed in social

development in early childhood they are more likely to be at-risk for maladaptive behaviors

such as antisocial behavior, criminality, and drug use later in life(Greer-Chase, Rhodes, &

Kellam, 2002). In fact, Kazdin (2006) noted that the correlations between preschool-aged

aggression and aggression at age 10 is higher than the correlation between IQ and

aggression.

LOCAL LITERATURE

Written with Dr. Michael Aguirre Clores of the Department of Mathematics and

natural Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences, Ateneo de Naga University, presents case

studies in the interaction between students‘ understanding and belief in learning the theory

of evolution. Constructivist theory argues that belief and understanding are separate but

interrelated aspects in the learning process. Results revealed that students‘ position about

the theory of evolution and patterns of understanding varied:

(a) misconceptions or lack of understanding affecting the belief; (b) cascade

of conceptual change that was complicated by belief; (c) rejection of the theory due to

challenged religious belief and potential to understand evolutionary theory despite

resistance to believe in the theory; (d) remaining skeptical about the theory due to

ambivalence that emanated from his conflicting theological and scientific beliefs and

misconception he held about human evolution, and (e) prior beliefs and concepts that were

commensurate to the accepted scientific concepts and beliefs about the evolution made

learning evolution less complicated. We conclude that the Filipino students‘ belief affect

their ability to understand the theory of evolution and vice-versa. The strategic nature of

learning requires students to be goal directed. To construct useful representations of

knowledge and to acquire the thinking and learning strategies necessary for continued

learning success across the life span, students must generate and pursue personally relevant

goals. Initially, students' short-term goals and learning may be sketchy in an area, but over

time their understanding can be refined by filling gaps, resolving inconsistencies, and

deepening their understanding of the subject matter so that they can reach longer-term

goals. The Philippines could be the ―texting capital of the world, with reportedly 50

million text messages sent out every day (Breakthrough, DLSU). Even the crippled

Philippine economy got a boost from text messaging especially its influence to the teens.

Text messaging is most popular among teens and to the college students. Because of its

popularity in this age group, it has spawned a new term the ―GenTxt‖ or text generation.

Part of text messaging appeal to Filipinos probably has to do with the fact that it feeds a

pre-existing cultural urge, namely to rumormonger. Text messaging enables a close-knit

and factional society to share information immediately. The power of text messaging is to

disseminate effect. Thus, there is no reason to think that the flow of disingenuous texts will

become less rabid now in the most volatile of seasons. (Garrido, 2009). As stated by Celeste

(2010), There is no doubt that modern technology has an effect on the study habits of

students today. The positive side of modern technology is that it makes things easier for

students to research for their homework and projects. However, it is also right to mention

that technologies are also a major distraction for students. Ma. Shiela Escuro (2009) says

that, ―Usage of this gadget can be controllable. It‘s up to the parents to teach their child

to be responsible on their mobile phones, to ask them to pay-up when their mobile runs out

of money. Or to get some agreement from the mobile companies that automatically cut-off

usage when the child overuses their allowance for the month. As the citizen of the

Philippines, we need to cooperate to solve the problems in our country. One of our major

problem is about education. Education is important specially in our generation now. We

need to help our youth to their problems in academic because they are tomorrow and future

of our country.
