CHAPTER 1

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

As years pass away, research and technology have been

constantly evolving together. We have witnessed the influx of

technological innovations and advancement with the aid and guide of

research and its methodologies.

Background of the Study

Procrastination is an act everyone takes part in every day,

regardless of their situation in life. It appears to make students

postpone and delay their academic work. Everyone from grade 11

students who have been out of school for a while participates in

procrastination. Students become self-exclusive and ignore their

academic responsibilities during the entire course of their

studies. They may become depressed and disturbed with a low

confidence level that affects largely their learning and

achievement. These issues need to be resolved appropriately for

maximum learning outcomes. No such study appears to have

been conducted in the Philippine Context. Therefore, it makes

sense to conduct a study that researches the issue and suggests

 xii

some valid guidelines.

Statement of the Problem

The study aimed to determine delayed activities caused by

procrastination and its effects on the academic performance of

grade 11 students.

Specifically, the researchers sought answers to the following

questions:

1. Why do students opt to procrastinate rather than finishing their

school work?

2. What influences Grade 11 students’ to procrastinate?

3. How may procrastination affect the Grade 11 students of

OLFU in terms of:

3.1 academic performance

3.2 mental health

3.3 meeting goals

4. How students can avoid procrastination?

5. How do social media affect the academic performance of Grade

11 students of OLFU?

General Problem

The study aimed to determine delayed activities caused

by procrastination and its effects on the academic performance

of grade 11 students.

Specific Problem

1. Why do students opt to procrastinate rather than

finishing their school work?

2. What influences Grade 11 students to procrastinate?

3. How may procrastination affect the Grade 11 students

of OLFU in terms of:

3.1 academic performance

3.2 mental health

3.3 meeting goals

4. How students can avoid procrastination?

5. How do social media affect the academic performance

of Grade 11 students of OLFU?

 xiv

Objectives of the Study

The main focus of this study is to find out what are the

repercussions of the Grade 11 students’ procrastination on their

academic performance in Our Lady of Fatima, Antipolo Campus.

Specifically, the study aims:

1. To determine the causes and effects of procrastination

2. To raise awareness about the importance of avoiding

procrastination

3. To

The researcher chose Our Highway, Antipolo City. It is a private

university s of which there are 7)

Project Participants

The researcher asked permission (Appendix L) from the

Research Development and Innovation Center (RDIC) to conduct this

study inside the institution. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

(Appendix M) was also established through the Dean of College of

Computer Studies. The study

During data gathering, the Informed Consent Form (Appendix

G) will be distributed.

Data Collection Process

In order to ensure that the data gathered are valid and

accurate, the researcher used the data gathering tools listed below:

1. Observation.

Observation is the collection of Primary Data through

observing people, t usually willing to tell you

themselves, such

2. Survey Questionnaire.

Surveys are the most common method of collecting

Primary other people a series of questions about their

personal haviors.  Surveys provide a wealth of data. 

The researcher s significant difference between the

existing and proposed system.

3. Interview.

Interviews can

will conduct an interview with key men with respect

to their with guidelines set by the institution.

4. Documents and Records

The researcher visited both private and public

libraries, reports, attendance logs, financial records,

newsletters,

will be gathered to be used and placed in archives of

the proposed system.

Data Analysis

Content analysis will be used to analyze the data gathered from

interviews and the same time producing results that may then

measure using quantitative techniques. However, human error is

highly involved in rpret the data gathered, thereby generating false

and unreliable conclusions (Krippendorff & Bock, 2008).

Evaluation Procedure

Evaluation is a critical process that examines software. It

involves collecting and done to eliminate biases in the evaluation and

provide realistic results.

The researcher ondent was also given questionnaires for them

to answer and made as the basis for their evaluation.

1. Functionality

2. ncy

3. Maintainability
 xxix

4. Portability

Final survey was conducted to evaluate the proposed system

using the Post-Test after Functionality Testing was checked.

Research Method

Research methodology is defined as the systematic, theoretical

analysis of the method edge.

In the development of Theses and Projects his involves, or

processes of phenomena.

Statistical Tools

Statistical methods involved in carrying out a study include

planning, designingifeless data. The results and inferences are precise

only if proper statistical tests are used.

Measures of central tendency

The measures of central tendency are mean, median and

mode. Mean (or the ponse from different respondents answering

the survey questions

The formula for the mean is

Where x = each observation and

n = number of observations.
 xxx

Median is n a distribution. Range defines the spread, or

variability, of a sample. It is described by the minimum and

maximum values of the variables.

T-test

T-test is n the means of the two groups. To test if a

sample mean (as an estimate of a population mean) differs

significantly from a given population mean (this is a one-sample

t-test)

The formula for one sample t-test is

where x bar is the sample mean,

s² is

he specified population mean and

t is a t quantile with n-1 degrees of freedom.

Mean difference

Using the unpaired t-test formula, the population mean

estimated by two independent samples differ significantly.

The formula for unpaired t-test is:

 xxxi

where x bar 1 and x bar 2 are the sample means,

s² is the

antile with n1 + n2 - 2 degrees of freedom.

Using the unpaired t-test formula, the population mean

estimated by two independent samples differ significantly. A

usual setting for ts before and after a treatment.

The formula for paired t-test is:

where d bar is the mean difference,

s² is the sample variance,

n is the sample size and

t is a t-quantile with n-1 degrees of freedom.
