Introduction
There are various external factors that may have influenced the student’s academic
performance other than their personal characteristics. This study is being conducted to know the
factors that have an impact on the Academic Performance of Grade 12 ABM students in Our
Lady of Fatima University. Lower academic performance in Senior High School is a warning to
every country’s educational system. As a result, there is a need to review the literature on
academic performance, and understand the factors that influence senior high school students’
(2021) Educational level of parents and their income, teachers’ knowledge of the subject,
UST Business Economic students’ study hours, gender, allowances, attendance, and
previous grade were expected to affect their academic performance. The factors aforementioned
may lead the student to have a positive or negative outcome on their academic performance.
The average hours a student spends studying is approximately 9.7 hours, the time spent on
school-related activities such as reading, studying, and other extracurricular activities are proven
to have a positive correlation with academic performance than non-school-related tasks (Ng et
al., 2014). Having academic success has a great impact on a student’s confidence, inspiration,

According to (Parajuli & Thapa, 2017) Differences also play a significant part in aca-
demics; various studies have shown that the majority of those who excel in school are predomi-

success compared to absentee students, this is also to say for the previous grading of the stu-

Particularly, students' performance remains a top priority for educators. It is meant for
making a difference regionally, locally, nationally, and globally. Many researchers, especially
educators have long been interested in exploring variables effectively for the standard
performance of learners. The main motive behind taking this study is how the academic
performance of ABM 12 in Our Lady of Fatima University gets affected by many factors. It is set
to fill this space in the literature. The performance of students may be affected by psychological,
economic, social, personal, and environmental factors. The majority of past student academic
differences, teaching style, family educational history, and socioeconomic variables. On this
subject, a great deal of study has been done. Numerous researchers investigated various
factors, and a large number of variables were investigated. Students' performance is something
that everyone expects to be of higher quality because of the responsibilities the sector plays in
providing community service; on the other hand, those who do not perform well cannot
contribute successfully to human resources because they lack the necessary skills. As a result,
the goal of this research is to determine how important the variable is and whether it has an

Theoretical Framework
This framework is based on the Theory of Education Production Function's initial concept.
It focuses on the economic field, which has now been applied to the educational field. According
to D.N. Harris in his Education Production Function: Concepts published in 2010, This
constitutes all combinations of inputs that produce a given set of outputs. In education, outputs
are typically measured by achievement scores and graduation rates. Inputs include both school
and family factors that influence outcomes. On the other hand, a Sociologist named James
Coleman is responsible for the existence of this theory. He had always been intrigued about
what aspects affect a child's ability to learn and what influences it. Is it friends or family? or
OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY 5
teachers? What are the kids learning and how are they doing? Those questions have been
lingering around him for a long time. Later on, The Coleman Report in 1966 found out that the
effect of various school inputs on students’ achievement was way smaller compared to the
The student's inadequate performance is one of the issues that the teachers have today.
The researchers want to know the factors that affect the academic performance of the students.
The researchers applied the case study used by Kingston K. of UST Colleges of Commerce
Major in Business Economics in order to support our study. The said study was done to identify
Based on D.N Harris theory, study hours and gender are considered to be an input that
comes from personal and academics factors. While attendance and previous grade would be an
output that comes from the response of the students inputs. The variables study hours, gender,
attendance and previous grade are used to distinguish if the variables can affect the academic
performance of ABM students. With the use of GPA or GWA of the students coming from the
study of Harb et al., 2006 the researchers will be able to measure their performance.

This chapter presents the related literature and studies that we come upon and is
significant to the topic after the thorough search done by the researchers. It contained concepts
that are related to the topic such as student’s academic performance, study hours, gender of the
student, previous academic performance, and attendance and punctuality. The researchers
gathered information from journal articles in online resources to analyze the results and findings
As defined by Barkley (2006) the academic performance of students will reflect on their
ability to apply and demonstrate the knowledge they have learned in tests, quizzes,
presentations, and final examinations. The significance of students' performance is visible not
just to students, but also to institutions, as it serves as an indicator of their educational process's
success. Galiher (2006)

Meanwhile, the study of Wentzel & Wigfield (1988) that tackles the factors of academic
and social motivation that interact to affect the students’ academic performance found out that

performance.
Study Hours
Academic success is a top priority for both students and instructors in any educational
system. Several studies have found that motivation and study time has an impact on student
accomplishment (Cole, et.al,. 2002, as cited in Ukpong & George,2013). Because grade is a
fundamental criterion for such learning, high grades suggest that the learner has done well,
whilst low marks indicate that the learner has done poorly. Many people have discovered,
however, that grades are influenced by a number of things. There is no way to forecast grades
based on a single criterion. Gender, IQ, study habits, study hours, age, grade, parental
education, social status, number of children, birth order, and many other factors all had an
impact. In fact, almost all of the above environmental, personal, and environmental factors affect
education policy discussions. The most important component of the curriculum, the impact of
student effort and learning time on academic performance remains largely unresolved. While

rough understanding of how study time affects academic success, as assessed by a particular
course grade. Quantifying the impact of study time on achievement appears to be important from
at least two perspectives: the perspective of the instructor, who provides classroom learning,
experience, and outcome measurement, academics, and perspectives of students, who try to
balance competitive personal ambitions. This study was caused by study time concerns relating
Eikeland and Manger (1992), more study hours did not improve class performance for first-
depicting the recital of the scholars throughout the academic field. It can be seen that they
course and found that studying time had no influence on the educational outcome.
Effective time management will greatly help with academic results and student
achievement. Every student must be able to manage his or her time effectively, including setting
goals and priorities, implementing time management strategies, and sticking to a schedule. In
this case, self-motivation is the only way to manage time; performance, ability, and motivation
are all required (Brigitte, et.al,. 2005,as cited in Nasrullah & Khan, 2015). Due to poor time
management, they were behind schedule. While there is no universal strategy for time
management, getting to know each other is essential to making informed judgments about how
students spend their time. Likewise, this issue has been discussed and highlighted on many
platforms in the educational service delivery process, and an effort has been made to measure
and analyze management attitudes and behaviors. Students' time in teaching institutions. For
best results at higher levels of study, study schedules must be carefully established,
implemented, and followed.

educational programs, especially at the higher education level. The lack of simple and cost-
effective data collection methods is at the root of the persistent problem of knowledge scarcity on
time management and learning outcomes. In this regard, the issue of time management is
receiving great attention in modern education systems as it assesses students' attitudes and
determining the impact of time management skills on academic achievement, and the
according to Dr. Kapur, acquisition of education is one of them and the women and girls are
experiencing denial of the human right to education across the world. Later on, the idea of diverse
connections between fulfillment and gender inequality in the basic rights to education has been
established. Gender Inequality can be seen in a lot of institutions these days. Radhika Kapur in
her study “Gender Inequality in Education” found out that it has been observed in a lot of
educational institutions. There are some instances that the girls were given lesser opportunity to
take part in activities compared to their male schoolmates, which results in large-scale gender
inequality. Females receive fewer academic contacts in class. They are less likely to be called
upon by name, are asked fewer complex and abstract questions, receive less praise or
constructive feedback, and are given less direction on how to do things for themselves. In short,
girls are more likely to be invisible members of classrooms (Sadker, 2011) It can reflect on the
student’s final marks because of lack of participation in activities and in class. Individuals and
communities who offer women equal rights and opportunities will not only encourage their

Factors that affect the academic performance may vary from person to person but some
research that has been conducted across the world is that female students outperform their male
counterparts (Orabi, 2007; Dayioglu & Turut, 2007; Khwaileh & Zaza, 2010 as cited in Parajuli &
Thapa, 2017). In some areas, girls excel boys in subjects that they considered feminine, and
boys typically excel in others because they consider it as a masculine subject but overall
academic performances are different from person to person because of different internal and
external factors (such as physically, mentally, financially, etc.). The previous research found out
that girls are way more successful in terms of academics compared to boys, but there are some
instances that boys excel more in mathematics compared to girls. Furthermore, there was no
affects one's performance. The variables under consideration were the academic performance
(student’s marks/grades) as a dependent variable and the age, gender, faculty of study,
parents/guardian social economic status, and residential area, tuition fees, daily study hours, and
accommodation were independent variables. It is evident that students who showed great
performance in the starting classes of their age also performed better in future academic years.
Garton et al. (2000) as cited in Ahmad & Shahzadi (2011) carried out a study with freshmen
college students to evaluate the efficiency of student learning style and other university
admission variables in predicting student academic performance and retention. Act composite
score, high school class rank, high school core GPA, and learning style were used as predictors.

performance of the first year of college. A study in Oregon State University (2003) confirmed that
graduate admissions normally measure academic performance such as high school GPA scores
and educational potential. According to the previous study of Ali et al. (2013) It is important to
remember that even if these studies don't agree with the past studies that explored the previous
performance of the students, it is confirmed that the admission scores are related to academic
It is also assumed that children's educational performance and learning outcomes are
strongly affected by the type of educational institution in which the students got their education.
Zappala and Considine (2002) quoted Sparkles (1999) that teachers' expectations and school
environment has also a strong influence on students' performance. These are some reasons that
It is said that in this study the student’s previous academic performance can affect their
future academic performance, also some countries such as Nigeria use the student’s previous
academic performance as a basis for students to be admitted to universities, note that entry
qualifications are of equivalent rating. Bratti and Staffolani (2002) as cited in Morto Amasuomo,
J. O. (2014) observed and concluded that the student's previous academic performance is the

attendance and punctuality of students. It is commonplace to find comments like the following in
inspectors’ reports. “Lateness is not positively challenged and attendance is still an issue”
Comments such as the one above have often left tutors in the FE totally frustrated and in many
cases, disillusioned. Tutors, perhaps rightly so, argue that they cannot be expected to have
control over what happens to students outside the college and more importantly, as they
perceive it, the willful decision of students not to benefit from the opportunity to learn provided by
colleges. Inspectorate regimes however do not share the sympathies of tutors. They would argue
that the pastoral duties of teachers necessitate their taking responsibility for their students’
performances in terms of attendance and punctuality, after all, students cannot be expected to
achieve if they do not attend classes or indeed, if they come in half way through lessons. More
importantly, from the viewpoint of students, it is incontrovertible that poor attendance and
punctuality will have adverse effects on their learning and achievement. This is the one point that
Sultana & Siti Nor Millah Binti Rashid (2013) found out that student behavior is the
preferred reason behind student time management and punctuality issues. In addition, time
management and punctuality issues tend to adversely affect student performance. This study
suggests that school managers, teachers and oldsters play a crucial role in overcoming these
problems, especially since most of those problems occur in schools and houses. Overall, the
study concluded that point management and punctuality issues between students adversely
affect the student's learning process. Meanwhile, Kassarnig et al., (2018) confirmed based on
their earlier findings that class is the most important predictor among individual characteristics.

their Senior High School Department more specifically its 12th grade ABM students that caters
15 out of 52 sections in Grade 12 including all academic strand. Our Lady of Fatima University -
Antipolo Campus was selected as the place that researchers want to conduct this study because
of the huge number of population it has and since all of its campuses implemented Flexible

Research Ethics OUR LADY OF FATIMA UNIVERSITY 20
This study ensured that research ethics were properly considered, developed and
recognized. No one was forced to participate in this study; they did it of their own free will. After
the researcher explained the purpose of the study and how the results could improve their well-
being at university, all participants gave their consent. [1] This was done in order to obtain
reliable information which accurately reflects what happened there. From data collection to
analysis to publication of results, confidentiality was maintained and confirmed throughout the
research process. This study also ensured that injuries or malicious behavior deemed harmful
(physically or psychologically) to participants were not included. As a result, the study was able
to collect reliable first-hand data from the field. [2] The researchers took precautions to respect
the anonymity of the respondents as students and individuals, as their collaboration is most
beneficial in this study. The interviewed participant has the option of answering or skipping the
survey questions. Participants are not forced or obligated to answer questions posed by
researchers. [3] During the research, researchers keep the data collected anonymously and ask
participants whether they wish to register their names or not. Participants will receive a consent
Research Instrument
In this study, the researchers will be using questions in a closed-ended format as the
questionnaire in the survey. This type of question will have multiple answers and allow the
students to select an option from the given question. Since the researchers conduct a survey
online, participants must expect the use of the internet. Part 1 consists of items that gather
respondents' profiles, such as their names, section, age, and gender. Part 2 includes the

The pandemic that's occurring nationwide left researchers to think of a new way to gather
data, and one such way is conducting online surveys. The researchers formally ask permission
from their research adviser and to the head of Senior High School of Our Lady of Fatima
University, Antipolo Campus via email to conduct the online survey. And for conducting such
surveys, the researchers will need participants that can provide them with data that's in line with
the topic, and make sure that they agreed with the said terms and conditions. The number of
