CHAPTER I
The Problem and its Background
Introduction
From the personal experiences stress is always in every places that can attack one
person by different stressor’s like from the academic performance we are pressure to do
the things because at that point we think about our capacity and abilities to do the task .
Stress is a main source of problem being faced by the students during their
academic career when they struggling to get the academic achievements for their future
life. Academic pressure is one of the factors that cause failure among the students. Stress
is the response of mental and action through hormonal signaling, the perception of danger
sets off an automatic response system, known as the fight or flight response. Commonly
stress refers to two things, the psychological perception of pressure, on the one hand,
and the body’s response to it, on the other, which involves multiple systems, from
breakdown to muscles to memory. Stress is a lot of expectation from self.
Stress is the most undermined syndrome in our society that is neglected since the
element of mental health associated with it. Internationally there is a meaningful work
and research conducted on the issue but there were no breakthrough research available
domestically. Mental health is actually the parameter for improved or enhanced
performance in every society.
Stress refers to the “sum of physical, mental, and emotional, trains or tensions on
a person.” It is defined as a condition typically characterized by symptoms of mental and

2

S.Y. 2019-2020
physical tension or strain, as depression or hypertension, which can result from reaction
to a situation in which a person feels threated or pressured or both. The stress which
enhance functions physical or mental, such a through strength training or challenging
work is called eustress, while persistent stress that is not resolved through coping or
adaption and, may lead to anxiety or withdrawal behavior is known as distress.
Anything which poses some kind of threat and challenge upon us is known as
stress. We use the word stress in such conditions when we feel “it’s too much”. We start
to think either we will be able to handle the workload or situation (Nordqvist 2009).
Academic performance is the educational aim that is achieved by a students,
teacher or institution achieves over a specific time. 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. The students are quite emotional
specially females. They are take stress in everything at school level.
According to Hussian et al., (2012), A lot of factor that influence in their study
like present pressure, teacher’s attitude toward their study, home strictness, future and job
tensions.
Having mentioned that, there was a need for identification of stress and the key
stressor that are affecting the academic performance. The researchers refine the research
by studying the effects on academic performances, financial, social relationships, and
time management.

Conceptual Framework
The researchers wanted to know the impact of stress on the academic
performances of the senior high school student in Sto.Domingo National Trade school,
the following are the list of information that the researchers wanted to know:
1. Academic Performance
The stress caused due to academic performance tensions is one of the most
common causes of stress in Senior High School student’s life. You join Senior High
School for learning and gaining knowledge. Practically the course work of senior high
students is very much challenging and demanding. This stage of education is the toughest
one and individual needs to work hard give his/her fullest effort here. In senior level, the
studies become very highly difficult and simultaneously the competition is also very
high. In this competitive world, an individual need to maintain good grades and CGPA
till the end of completion of the degree. Students who want to pursue post-graduation
need to fulfill all necessities required for getting admission into a good college. Similarly,
students who want to join and continue their career need to prepare for the same. In this
way, individual need to concentrate and maintain his/her academic performance for good
future and life. So, by maintaining all these situations and concentrating on each causes
academic performance stress.

2. Financial
It has become more familiar with the fact that the education has become so much
expensive. Mainly the senior high school education is touching heights in economical
side. So we conclude here that senior high school fee is expensive. Not all parents can
afford paying senior high fees. But those parents who can’t afford but are willing to admit
their child in senior high school anyhow manage to pay his/her fees. They sacrifice their
other needs in front of their child’s career and also for their wants and needs. This is also
one of the stress causes in individual’s life. Individual is familiar with this fact and this
thing may hunt individual’s mind causing stress. On other hand, there can be many other
ways of causing stress due to financial problems. If individual is not happy with his
monthly pocket money or is unable to satisfy his/her own needs or is getting embarrassed
in front of friends due to no money or continuous sacrifices due to shortage of money or
losing money in any situation can cause financial stress.

students in Sto.Domingo National Trade School on the second part contains in terms of
academic performances and level of stress.
This study will be limited at Sto. Domingo National Trade School only because
the researchers think that, that number of senior high school students would be enough
for the success of this study.
Definition of Terms
The following terms were defined and operationally for better understanding of
readers:
Academic Performance, is the extent to which a student, teacher or institution
has attained their short or long- term educational goals. Completion of educational bench
marks such as secondary school diplomas and bachelor’s degrees represent academic
achievement as used to the study.
Impact, is to fix firmly by or as if by packing or wedging, to press together, to
have a direct effect or impact on: impinge on, to strike forcefully also to cause to strike
forcefully as used to the study.
Stress, is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event
or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Stress is your body’s
reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it
helps you avoid anger or meet a deadline. But when stress lasts for a long time, it may
harm your health.

CHAPTER II
Review of Related Literature
Foreign Literature
Academic-related stress can increase substance use among young people. In a
survey study of 128 Grade 11 students attending competitive private schools in the
United States, students who reported experiencing high ongoing stress, particularly in
relation to academic achievement and the tertiary education admissions process, also
reported high rates of drug and alcohol use (Leonard et al., 2015).
The authors report that substance use was associated with a greater desire for
academic achievement, higher perceived stress, less effective coping strategies, and less
closeness with parents (Leonard et al., 2015).
This study demonstrates the importance of protective social factors in mediating
the effects of academic-related stress. In a cross-sectional study of tertiary nursing
students from the United States, those with higher self-reported stress had higher
incidence of substance use. Students who had higher perceptions of faculty support used
fewer stimulants to assist them while studying, further demonstrating the proactive role
of social factors (Boulton & O’Connell, 2017).
We can resolute the student’s academic achievements by their performances in
their institutions, their activities and assignments done in classes, presentations they give
and results of their exams (Ong, Bessie, and Cheong, 2009).
It is also found, that confidence level of students in themselves in terms of
academics and their managerial abilities as how they manage their academic work load
11

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
S.Y. 2019-2020
affects their academic performance achievement (Richardson, 2011; Yip, 2009). Students
who are coming to colleges and universities for only professional outcomes meaning to
get the job, and earn good money will have totally different thinking and approaches
inside the classes and during their studies because they will be attending it for their
personal knowledge enhancement. There approach for the acquisition of education with
so much motivation dominantly affects their academic performance and achievement
(Durik, Lovejoy, & Johnson, 2009).
Local Literature
Additionally, family’s expectation can be a big factor that can affect the
motivation level of student on their academic performances and they must be considered
as an important point as attitude towards education (Mutsoto & Abenga, 2010).
Coming across a research, it has been found that the most important learning
behaviors which affects the academic performances of students are the group study/
independent study sessions, discussing the material when needed with group mates and
class activities, involvement in class, their backgrounds, and discussing the course and
class material with faculty when needed (Bennett; 2011). In another study, it is been
concluded that study behaviors of students and their attendances are more important and
affective towards their academic performance as compared to the utilization of their text
books (Berry, Cook, Hill & Stevens 2011).
Anything which poses some kind of threat and challenge upon us is known as
stress. We use the word stress in such conditions when we feel “it’s too much”. We start
to think either we will be able to handle the workload or situation (Nordqvist, 2009).
12

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
S.Y. 2019-2020
Stress is a reality which we have to face in our everyday life. There are situations when
we start to feel ourselves out of help and start to disturb emotionally and other stressors.
Many people consider stress as an incident happen to them such as injury or job loss
(Centre, 2010). Others think stress is some kind of changes which happen to our physical
body, behavior and mind or over thoughts about situation. Any situation which causes
frustration can also be cause of stress. Everyone have different skill and capabilities so
their style of handling the situations could also differ and it is same for stress level for
each person. It is possible stress level will be different for two persons which are facing
save situations. It depends on which kind of stressors affects them both. Stress is not an
extraordinary thing it is just the part of our daily life. And even it is good for us if its
amount is not too much. It can improve our motivation and also help us to improve our
productivity (Centre, 2010). It depends on how we perceived about stress. It depends how
we react against it, it can affect us negatively as well and if we always react or respond
negatively against stress it also could affect our health and happiness (Robinson, 2010).
Our body naturally gives response upon different types of situation and if the
situation is not favorable, it’s dangerous or you feel threatening it alarms us and it is
called anxiety (Robinson, 2010). And it may cause an unpleasant feeling about the
situation and it can also have an impact on our performance. It may can decrease our
performance in the same situations in which we have performed better without stress.
Another negative result which stress produce is that, it can make them realize us that
situation is out of our abilities or simply it makes our perception that situation is beyond
our abilities and we can’t handle it (Centre, 2010).

After reading several articles on stress and its impact on humans, one thing is very
clear that experts agree on this point that stress some time directly affects our body
systems. When we start to feel stress sometimes it causes our blood pressure to rise than
normal. Some start rapid breathing. And one of the very common effects is the change of
heart beat, heat beat rate usually increase significantly when we start to fell stress and our
muscles start to feel tense due to stress even without any physical work load. Some face
disturbance in sleeping and cannot sleep comfortably. There is another point to should be
kept in mind that stress always not came due to only external factors. It also rises due to
internal factors as well. Which consist of feelings, thought, and behavior and habits, there
are some most common factors which can cause for negative stress (Nordqvist, 2009).
Stress could also be depending upon our behavior. It means sometime our
behavior about work could also cause stress if we over scheduling our workload and not
careful about physical health and failed to maintain the health. Stress and threats varies
from person to person it depends heavily based on their past life experiences. Some
people may start to feel negative with very little of unfavorable aspect and situation and
others who are very strong and secure background may not fell stress as much in same
situations and conditions and working loads.
There is another focus group which says stress itself is not a problem but problem
is how we handle stress. If we are not handling it well then it well cause problems
otherwise it won’t cause any problem. And if we will not handle it properly it will
seriously affect our behavior and thoughts (Centre, 2010). These are also some common
impacts of stress upon human behavior and thoughts. They show anger, feel depression,
14

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
S.Y. 2019-2020
having problem in memorizing things, got irritate even with no reason and start to feel
sad. Stress also changes their behavior some times. People start to eat too much or too
little due to stress, some starts to taking drugs or smoking because they feel it will give
them relaxation. Some people withdraw social relationships under stress and some start to
cry. It’s not necessary that everyone will face all of these. Some can have few of them
and it can be different for other one but whenever person feels stress some of these
impacts will came with stress (Nordqvist, 2009).
It has also been found in researches that physical activity of students and their
healthy diets such as unsaturated fats and low sugar helps them in their health behaviors
which affect their cognitive as well as academic performances (Hillman CH, Erickson KI,
Kramer AF; 2009, Francis H, Stevenson R; 2013). The freshman year of the students in
universities is mainly the time when they have lots of changes in their lifestyle and health
behaviors. That’s why they say that Grade Point Average (GPA) of the students which is
used to see a student’s academic performance might get affected by its health related
behavior and activities specially during the first year of university (Deforche B; 2013).
The researches done on the secondary schools shows that student’s health
behavior like diet, active as well as sedentary lifestyle is linked with their academic
performances. Though literature on this topic is very limited in university going students
and is specifically done on U.S citizens (Sigfusdottir ID, Allegrante JP; 2010). A study
suggested that students who are involved in exercising habits are the ones more active
and gets higher GPAs than other students (Keating XD, Castelli D, Ayers SF; 2013).

A research was also done on students of all age, which showed us that sleeping
habit and quality of sleep is also correlated with learning capacity of students and affects
academic performance of them negatively. However, proper sleep found significant
correlation among the academic performances and their health (Eliasson AH, Lettieri CJ;
2010).

CHAPTER III
Research Methodology
This chapter covers the method of research used, the research locale, sample and
sampling procedure, construction and validation of instrument, tools used, and statistical
treatment of data.
Research Design
The study adapted the Descriptive method of research which based on Singh
(2010), is described as appropriate for studies to describe the characteristics or effects of
events for an identified population.
Furthermore, it aims to find out what prevails in present conditions or
relationships, held opinions and beliefs, processes and effects and developing trends. A
Descriptive research seeks to determine the relationship between variables, explores
causes of phenomena, test hypotheses, and develops generalizations, principles or
theories on the basis of its findings.
Research Locale
In view of the importance and emphasis of the government training in vocational
education, a National Trade School was established in Baloc, Sto. Domingo Nueva Ecija
the Sto. Domingo National Trade School. It was created by virtue of House Bill No. 558
which comes into law on June 19, 1965 when the Congressman Eugenio Baltao of the
first District of Nueva Ecija. On July 11, 1971, the school was formally opened and
17

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL
S.Y. 2019-2020
healed by Mr. Benjamin C. Sandoval who was appointed as the first Vocational School
Pricipal by Director Andres Asistin of the Bureau of Vocational Education A temporary
school site was leased by the Municipal Mayor of Sto. Domingo, Nueva Ecija Hon.
Narciso Andres together with the Municipal Council who allowed the use of two
unoccupied public market building in Baloc. After three (3) years of operation, the first
two (2) buildings were constructed. Two (2) hectares of land was purchased. Additional
two (2) hectares owned by provincial government through Governor Eduardo L. Joson of
Nueva Ecija was leased to the school. In 1990, two (2) hectares of land was finally
donated by Provincial Government through the kindness and effort of Governor Narciso
Nario and the Provincial Board. Another exemplary achievement of our school was the
purchased of 2.2 hectares additional school site which was adjacent of the present site
and purposely used as the athletic ground. In the phase of continuous operation, ten (10)
years have been added in his truly high learning institution. The new administration
building, additional classrooms, and guidance room were constructed. It was very
fulfilling to see the ladders of progress in SDNTS. From (40) students who enrolled in
1971, it was increased to 3, 060 this year. Modern facilities were greatly improved,
instructional materials were provided and innovations in the learning process were
developed. The school proved to be successful for the continuous good performance and
excellence both in academic and technical vocational course. Likewise, the Sto. Domingo
National Trade School became well-known as Vocational School Region III. The school
has been under the five (5) Vocational School Administrators namely: Benjamin C.
Sandoval (1971-1999), Ruben L. Roman (1999-2005), Antonio A. Castro (2005-2012),

This chapter presents the data gathered in an organized and comprehensive form
related to the impact of stress on the academic performances of grade 11 and 12 learners.
1. THE PROFILE OF THE RESPONDENTS
The initial statement of the problem posted in Chapter I dealt with the profile of
grade 11 and 12 learners in Sto. Domingo National Trade School as to sex, age, number
of siblings, general average, monthly income of parents, my daily allowance, and the
reason why they are feeling stress.

Table 3 shows the sex of the respondents, as shown in the table, 14 or 3. 57
percent are males and 36 or 0.72 percent were females from the total 50 respondents.
Based on the Philippine Education for All Review Report (2015), global gender
gap index reported that the Philippines is fifth in rank and is the only country in Asia and
the Pacific to close the gender gap both in health and education. Moreover, it stated that
gender parity in elementary and secondary education was met.

25

Table 4 shows the age of the respondents. As shown in the table, the respondents
who were 17years old comprised of 30 or 1.66 however there is only one respondent on
20 years old or 0.02.
According to the Department of Education (2017), at age of 17, learners should
be Senior High School Learners (First and Second Year Senior High)
Based on the above data, the result may be interpreted that 17 years old
dominated the number of the respondents which deemed appropriate for grade 11 and 12
learners

The stress they have and their family at home. These may affect their grades
because no one help them or even, sometimes, care about their success in schools
(Jensen, 2013),
DepEd Order No. 36,s. 2016. Policy Guidelines on Awards and recognition for
the K to 12 Basics Education Program –released on June 07, 2016. The specific
Academic Excellence Award has given to learners who meet the following cut- off
grades, 98- 100 With Highest Honors, 95-97 With Honors and lastly 90- 94 With Honors.
The results suggest that majority of learners’ academic achievements in senior
high school were very satisfactory and many of them are with honors.
1.5 Monthly Income of Parents of the Respondents

According to Jensen, (2013), students learning are different from time to time.
One of the important elements in our education these days is technology. To learn and
teach better, both students and teachers must be aware of new things. To do this, students
need to have the material inside and outside schools.
On the other hand from the total of the 50 respondents majority of the respondents
parents monthly income are 5,000- 10, 000 and because of the technology nowadays the
parents can’t afford to buy their children’s material like laptops and gadgets because of
low monthly income of parents.
1.6 Daily Allowance of Respondents
