Introduction
Through the passing of time, there has been emphasis on the use of time management,
which has also been considered the key to success (Pugh & Nathwani, 2017). To be successful
in life, a person must put in the time and effort to work or study their way through to accomplish
their goals. One must dedicate oneself into completely immersing oneself in the process in order
for a person to accomplish the objective that one has thought and chose to pursue. People have
As a student, time management is essential for academic success. Senior high school
students are expected to manage all their studies in order to gain academic achievements,
meaning the workload that the students will carry throughout their entire senior high school life
will be a challenge for the students. Two school years of hard learning for the students, it may
require them to properly utilize their time. Students who apply time management to their studies
will mean that the students are properly allocating their time. Students who have good time
management can help them schedule their time between their most important activities. Effective
time management means that they can take control of their time and decide for themselves how
they will allocate their energy. Students taking control of their time enables them to achieve
bigger and better results in less time, without the stress. (Pettit, 2020).
Therefore the findings of this study will provide the assessment on time management
Time management has much significance for many reasons. The fact is that everyone
manages their time in their daily lives whether they are aware of it or not. Managing one’s time
is a daily part of a person’s life and is needed to be managed until the end of the day and the days
to come (Sayari K. et al, 2017). Time management is in fact an act of managing and organizing
ones time. Having decent ability in managing your time can maximize the time you spent on
specific activities that can help you finish your work faster and achieve your goals quicker. The
results in practicing and implementing time management can help you to reduce time on
academic performance and lower levels of anxiety in students. To improve a student’s academic
performance, knowing how to manage a student’s time properly is one important factor that will
help them get good results. They must know what to prioritize and invest their time in things that
are much more meaningful and important for them. So as a result, students need to have an
importance in every educational system (Brew, Nketiah, & Koranteng, 2021). The
secondary education system. SHS students undertake a standard core curriculum and can choose
from four tracks of specialization: academic, technical-vocational and livelihood (TVL), sports,
or arts and design. The academic track is further divided into four strands: accountancy,
business, and management (ABM); science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM);
humanities and social sciences (HUMSS); and general academic (Development Asia 2018).
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, SHS has been a new experience for these students especially
its “new normal” of having classes through online or modular learning. Students under these
different strands are having a challenging time in allocating their time between personal matters
and academic works, especially the ones with some hobbies that could keep them busy like
games, arts, exercising, music and sports. They must be as adaptable and flexible as possible, but
they are aware that they must sacrifice a significant amount of time in order to achieve great
things in their academics and become an ideal student. Unfortunately, some students who are
attempting to adjust to this "new normal" as a result of the covid-19 pandemic have been
experiencing physical and/or mental stress. The time for students to master time management
behaviours has never been more important than this time during this pandemic.
Covid-19 background: The covid-19 pandemic have resulted in the government issuing
community quarantines and has largely affected the education system of the Philippines, forcing
all schools to conduct their classes through blended, flexible or distance learning. Schools can
choose whether to conduct their classes synchronously during their respective scheduled time for
combination of both. Some classes are mostly requiring students to attend lectures
asynchronously in addition to attending the synchronous classes. The increased workload and
time "in class" has forced students to either drop their classes and fail or result in low academic
think that time management is required to earn success and improve academic performance. For
students to better manage their curriculum and achieve learning objectives, time management
behaviours or skills are argued to improve the positive academic output (Alyami et al, 2021).

Theoretical framework
The Social learning theory which according to Albert Bandura (1961) emphasizes the
importance of observing, modeling and imitating the behaviors, attitudes and emotional reaction
of others. It considers how both environmental and cognitive factors interact that influence
human behaviour. There are four meditational processes in this theory: attention; retention;
reproduction; motivation. For attention, an individual needs to pay attention on a behaviour and
its consequences then forms a mental representation of the behaviour. Retention is when an
individual notice and form a memory that enables him/her to remember and imitate that
behaviour. Reproduction is when an individual perform what behaviour the model demonstrated.
For motivation, it is when an individual considers the consequences of a behaviour and his/her
will to perform it. If the perceived rewards outweigh the perceived costs, then the behaviour will
be more likely to be imitated by the individual. This study uses this theory as it gives an
explanation how attitudes and behaviors are influenced and as to why it changes.
Conceptual Framework
Figure 1.
Figure 1. The conceptual framework represents the structure or the concept of the study
of which the demographic profile of the students on students attitudes in terms on time
management behaviours.
The independent variables are the different time management behaviours that this study
aims to find in SHS students, student’s time management behaviours such as Prioritization,
Procrastination, Pre planning, Setting boundaries, Task management, and Setting goals. The
dependent variable present in the conceptual framework are the student’s attitudes which
determines the most agreeable or disagreeable attitude towards the different factors of time
management behaviours. Also, the intervening variables are the student’s demographics such as
sex, age, grade level, strand, and honor background. With the help of the independent variable,
we can identify the students time management behaviors in each demographic in order to assess
the most agreeable or disagreeable attitude towards the different factors of time management
behaviours, and also to determine whether these factors has a significant difference in terms of
The findings of the study will be beneficial to the SHS Grade 11-12 students who are
having a hard time managing their time in doing their school activities and personal agendas.
This study will not only help the students achieve better results but will also enhance their
academic performance in school. This study will also help them improve their time management
Current senior high school students – The current SHS (Senior High School) students who
lack time management skills will find this study very beneficial to them, by knowing the
importance of time management and how much it will benefit them. By mastering this skill, they
can balance their time in doing school tasks and in doing other daily activities.
Teachers and faculty members – The teachers or the faculty can benefit from this study by
having a good gasp on how students perceive time management. The faculty will have data
regarding student’s literacy on time management behaviours. And address the student’s
weakness and help them handle working on multiple assignments properly. So that students will
be able to pass their school activities on time. And on account of students who are having a hard
time in managing their time, teachers can find ways on helping the students achieve their
academic goals.
School institutes– The school may benefit from this study by learning how students are having a
hard time managing their time. With this study, schools can conduct a symposium on how
Junior high school students becoming SHS students – The upcoming Junior High School
students can benefit from this study by using it as preference or a model to what their behaviors
of time management should be if they want to achieve good academic scores. The students can
use this study as a guide on what’s coming when they enter SHS. The students then can proceed
in learning on improving their time management skills earlier so they will be prepared on the

scheduling, and budgeting one's time in order to increase job effectiveness and production. It
may also be seen of as a collection of concepts, practices, skills, tools, and systems that should
all work together to accomplish and improve life quality (Argarwal, 2008; Kelly, 2004). When
one is aware of time, it is critical that he makes plans before doing things and establishes
priorities in many of his daily duties. Time management is concerned with allocating enough
time to each activity in order to successfully manage the tasks and accomplish them within the
time frame provided. Prioritizing the activities to be completed is related to how people manage
their time successfully by balancing the urgency of their demands and the amount of time they
personality traits. Students that have higher self-control have better time management skill,
which conveys that they know how to control and refrain from being impulsive. Students that
tend to be high in self–efficacy are better at managing their time at everything they must finish
on doing, which is the belief in their ability to handle challenges and complete, tasks
successfully.
There are many time management behaviors a student is observed to have when they are
tackling their studies. These behaviors can greatly affect a student’s academic performance
and management. Staying organized can help the students maintain a clear picture of what you
need to complete and when. Being well-organized might mean maintaining an up-to-date
calendar, being able to locate certain documents easily, having a tidy environment and taking
detailed, diligent notes. (Keiling, 2021). Proper practice of organization and management does
not only benefit students in their academic careers but can also benefit them by developing a
Prioritization
A behaviour that can positively affect a student’s academic performance is the ability to
know what to prioritize. Assessing each of a student’s responsibilities for priority is the key in
being a good time manager and achieving better results and less stress. There are many ways to
prioritize what you need to accomplish. You might decide to complete fast, simple items
followed by longer, more involved ones. Alternatively, you might prioritize your tasks starting
behaviour that can negatively affect a student’s academic performance, it is the bad habit of
delaying work. (UC SANTA CRUZ, 2016) Procrastination is the direct result of poor time
management. Procrastination can also be the result of emotional and psychological factors, such
as stress, depression, low self-esteem, and poor impulse control. When there are emotional and
psychological components to procrastination, there are strategies to help. For example, if feeling
anxious, frustrated, insecure, or irritated when thinking about a task you need to complete leads
to your avoiding facing it by doing something else that temporarily soothes the negative feelings.
Goal-setting
Setting goals is another behaviour of time management, the use of the SMART method
when setting goals, In essence, make sure the goals they set
are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Timely (CFI, 2020). Setting goals is the first
step to becoming a good time manager. Goal-setting allows students to clearly understand their
end goal and what exactly they need to prioritize to accomplish it. Setting both short and long-
term goals can lead to success not only to STEM student’s career but other life aspects as well.
(Keiling, 2021).
Planning
A fundamental part of time management is planning. Being efficient in planning out the
student’s day, meetings and how they will accomplish things will help them stick to their
schedules in time, and be prepared for the task ahead. (Keiling, 2021).
Setting boundaries
Healthy boundaries are necessary components for self-care. Without boundaries, students
will feel depleted, taken advantage of, taken for granted, or intruded upon. Whether it’s in work
or in our personal relationships, poor boundaries may lead to resentment, hurt, anger, and
burnout. (Soghomonian,2019). Boundaries help them take care of ourselves by giving them
permission to say NO to things, to not take everything all in one go. Boundaries draw a clear line
around what is ok for us and what is not. The student’s behavior of setting boundaries will be
what they consider that will cross the line between their personal life and their academic quest.
beliefs, sentiments, and action patterns toward things, ideas, and people. Individuals' brains
frequently relate people, things, or ideas, and as a result, attitudes become multifaceted and
complicated. However, the most important component of the attitude is that it is characterized by
the presence of a certain sensation or emotion, as well as, as one might assume, a distinct
predisposition to behave. The sensation or emotion, then, is the most important aspect
subjectively. Social influences, direct instruction, family, biases, personal experience, media,
educational and religious institutions, physical factors, economic position, and jobs may all
influence attitudes. However, the elements that might influence a student's attitude toward time
Personality
Behavioral tendencies expressed coming from personality traits might influence specific
time doing school activities or something else that is irrelevant to their studies. However, it is
unclear whether it implies that certain personality traits are also more beneficial for academic
achievement in some academic fields than in others (Vedel & Poropat, 2020).
Social factor
The students get easily absorbed in social media platforms to connect with other people
and share their ideas to others. Regardless of the significance, they will stay engrossed
socializing with other people. But there is more to that. Their attitudes may facilitate and
maintain their involvement and connectivity with valued friends, contents and creators on any
platform. Social roles and social norms can have a strong influence on attitudes of the students
Multi-dimensional Theory
Using the multi-dimensional theory, this study can use this theory to learn about the
different nature and kinds of attitudes. Which states that attitudes can be distinguished into three
categories; these are behavioural, affective, and cogitative. (Katz & Stotland, 1959; Rosenberg &
Hovland, 1960). A combination of these three components represents the attitude construct. The
behavioural category encompasses people’s intentions or actions with respect to the attitude
object. The affective component consists on the emotions people have related to the attitude
object. And the cognitive category contains beliefs people have about the attitude object.
Functionalist Theory
The Functionalist theory according to Daniel Katz (1960) proposed that the view that
attitudes are determined by the functions they serve for us. People hold given attitudes because
these attitudes help them achieve their basic goals and aims. Katz distinguishes four types of
psychological functions that attitudes meet. We have the instrumental, knowledge, Value-
For the Instrumental function, we develop favourable attitudes towards things that aid or
reward us. We want to maximize rewards and minimize penalties. Katz says we develop attitudes
that help us meet this goal. We favor political parties that will advance our economic goals or if
we are in business, we favor the party that will keep our taxes low, We are more likely to change
our attitudes if doing so allows us to fulfil our goals or avoid undesirable consequences. Next is
knowledge. Attitudes can provide meaningful, structured environment, it help supply us with
standards of evaluation. Via such attitudes as stereotypes, we can bring order and clarity to the
complexities of human life. Then we have Value-expressive. We are expressive and we want to
spread our belief to others. An example is viewing yourself as a Catholic; you can reinforce that
image by adopting Catholic beliefs and values unto others. Then finally Ego-defensive, Attitudes
can help to protect us from acknowledging basic truths about ourselves or the harsh realities of
The reason as to why Katz's functionalist theory is used in this study is because it offers
longer serves its function and the individual feels blocked or frustrated. That is, according to
Katz, attitude change is achieved not so much by changing a person's information or perception
about an object, but rather by changing the person's underlying motivational and personality
needs.
Pickle Jar Theory
Another theory that is used to determine the nature of a person’s attitude in this study is
called the Pickle Jar Theory proposed by Jeremy Wright (2002), it is a visual metaphor that
helps us determine what is more useful and what is not so useful for us. It helps you to set your
priorities for daily life and plan tasks in such a way, that you have time to spare for yourself
instead of cramming and stressing it. Teens usually have schedules that are filled with both
personal and academic tasks. Their school related and home activities are planned out for them.
As a result, many of them don't learn how to manage their time wisely when they have some
Related Studies:
Time management is a necessary skill for all students; it is critical for students to
understand how to manage their time effectively for school and personal matters in order to
improve their academic performance and achieve their life goals. Having this skill can also help
students avoid cramming and stress by completing assignments on time. The fundamental
achievement of regular students is the ability to manage their time effectively. Mismanagement
has a negative impact on a student’s academic performance. This is why students must be able to
Adham Alyami et al. (2021) conducted a study to determine the impact of time
students. High academic grades were seen among pupils with positive attitudes and those who
claimed to manage time and fulfil deadlines were observed to have high academic grades. Short-
term and long-term time management, on the other hand, were not linked to a high GPA. In
contrast, past research has found that time management behaviours such as short- and long-range
planning are beneficial to the students (Ganguly, Kulkarni, & Gupta, 2017).
According to student’s perception, preplanning their studies had been beneficial for their
academic performance. However, less than half of the students agreed that they manage their
time. The study also concluded that no relationship was found between short range and long-
range time management behaviour on academic achievement in their study. The study then
recommends for students to start to practice better sleeping pattern and making of to-do list
among students for better time management, which could lead to high academic achievement.
Adams and Blair (2019) further described that effective time management is associated
with greater academic performance and lower levels of anxiety in students. The study also
proclaims that there have been many studies that found a connection between good academic
achievement and effective time management because the students starts to acquire and learn
strategies that can support them in completing the demands given from the school
institutions (Kharadze, et al, 2017). The school curriculums whether private or public are
designed in a way that gets the students to juggle between multiple task and assignments given
from the schools requiring them to manage between their work and life activities often without
Furthermore, a study from (Ashraf et al, 2020) which argued that prioritizing tasks can
make work and studying more pleasant which reduces inefficiencies, anxiety and stress. Good
time management skills reduce worry and stress of students which enhances their productivity
and academic performance (Aduke , 2015). So, learning and practicing to have good time
management behavioes is a necessity. Some people are good time managers but not everyone.
We all have to assure good time management skills to be successful not only in student life but
A study from Gerrard, Newfield, Asli, and Variawa (2017) discovered a link between
how students perceived difficulty and the time they spent on assessments in their study of
Toronto, and that time was the most influential factor. In a study on anxiety among engineering
students, Yanik, Yan, Kaul, and Ferguson (2016) invited students to write journal entries in
which they described their worries and anxieties, and they discovered that time management was
a common issue in the students' thoughts. Extrinsic factors (pulling forces, group pressure, and
learning approaches) have a general motivating effect, but intrinsic factors (individual attitudes
and expectations) have a higher effect, according to Law et al. (2009), who investigated the
factors that lead to student success among engineering students. As a result, many engineering
students' goal orientation is customized, and a teacher's ability to encourage them is crucial.
Synthesis
Time management, according to Sophia Auld (2020), helps students to do more in less
time since their attention is concentrated and they aren't wasting time on things that causes
distractions. As students cross tasks off their to-do list, efficient time management minimizes
stress. Practicing proper time management behaviours such as proper allocation of task, stress
management, goal-setting. planning, and prioritization will help them achieve more in their
academic careers. It will also provide them a sense of accomplishment when they achieve their
objectives. Students may also complete their work on time, stay involved in their studies, and
have more time free to pursue things that are important to them, such as sports, hobbies, youth
group, and spending time with friends and family, by effectively managing their time.
According to Daniel Katz (1960) functionalist theory, He believes that attitudes are
determined by the purposes they fulfill for us. People adopt certain attitudes because they assist
them attain their core objectives. He further described that an attitude changes when it no longer
serves its function and the individual feels blocked or frustrated. That is, according to Katz,
attitude change is achieved not so much by changing a person's information or perception about
an object, but rather by changing the person's underlying motivational and personality needs.
Good time management allows students to make the most of their abilities and enjoy the
satisfaction of accomplishment. Time management is very important and it may actually affect
individual's overall performance and achievements. Students nowadays always commented that
they do not have enough time to complete all the tasks assigned to them. In addition, a university
environment's flexibility and freedom can derail students who have not mastered time
Research Gap
This study focuses on identifying senior high school student’s time management
behaviours. Similar studies have been conducted on different places such as Saudi Arabia,
Pakistan, and India, but this study will gather information from a private school located at
Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte,. Not only are there similar studies found is different places,
this study will focus upon specifically on Senior High School students wherein other similar
information that the researchers will be collecting. Considering that the existing studies are
conducted in different places and with a different demographic population, the factors considered
on the recent studies may likely be dissimilar from the results of the study that will be conducted
in the private school of Dipolog city, Zamboanga del Norte, Specifically on senior high school
students.
The data setting of this study will be highlighted as the researchers will aim to gather
relevant information from its taken participants. Factors that may result in this study will serve as
METHODOLOGY
This chapter provides an overview of the research methodology research design, its
sample and sampling methods in selecting the participants and the research instrument used. This
chapter will also provide a description of the data collection procedures that will be applied in
this research study and as well as the data analysis procedures that will be used by the
researchers.
Research Design
This study utilizes descriptive research design to compare different variables, as well as
how different demographics respond to different Time management behaviours, and to determine
the different characteristics of the participants, characteristics such as opinions, traits, behaviours
and attitudes. Survey method will be used in this study where the researchers will allocate
questionnaires to the participants. Once the questionnaires are returned from the survey
participants, the data collected will be used for analysis purposes by the researchers.
Descriptive studies are aimed at finding out "what is," so observational and survey
methods are frequently used to collect descriptive data (Borg & Gall, 1989). It portrays an
characteristics (such as voting preference, feelings, or attitudes). The researchers will then
proceed with survey method as it is well suited to gathering demographic data that describe the
composition of the sample (McIntyre, 1999, p. 74). Since this study only describes the student’s
time management behaviors and how different its response to each variables, thus descriptive
In order to perform the study, 612 senior high school students from a private school in
Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte, has been chosen as the population for this study. However,
Due to the large number of respondents, a different sampling technique will be used. The
researchers will choose to use the Sample Size calculator in order to determine the sample of
the study. Thus, the total Number of senior high school students will undergo the sampling
Procedure as follows
Sampling procedure:

Note; the researchers have chosen a confidence level of 95% hence the solution:
Sample Size=
n= 237
As Shown on the results, the researchers will have a sample size of 237 senior high
school students from a total population of 612 SHS students. These 237 Samples will be divided
by the total number of grades levels and sex in the senior high school Department.
In order to properly distribute the questionnaires and get a fair research result. The
Stratified random Sampling method will be used to avoid certain respondents with the same
sex and grade level from overpopulating the data results against the other demographic. We hope
to achieve using the Stratified Random Sampling method an equal, fair, and healthy amount of

students which consist of 57 girls and 46 boys. And a sample size of 134 grade 12 student which
consist of 68 girls and 66 boys in which results in the total of 237 students which will be used as
this study’s respondents. The table will be used to determine how many questionnaires will be
Research Instrument
In this study, an adopted validated survey questionnaire will be used to utilize the
research instrument. The questionnaire was aimed to elicit relevant information and data
concerning the respondent’s attitudes towards time management behaviours. The researchers
intend to use google forms as its medium through online distribution. Google Forms was chosen
because it is an effective way to gather responses from people without close contact. Google
Form eliminates the need to decipher and tally responses on sheets of paper. A form also serves
as an elegant alternative to asking a group of people questions in email or shared link. Google
Forms lets you collect information from people via personalized quizzes or surveys. The
researchers can then connect the info to a spread sheet to automatically record the answers. The
spread sheet then populates with the responses from the survey in real-time.
Before the questioning and filling up of the demographic info. The participants will
encounter a letter of consent in the first part of the google forms survey (Appendix D), which
will seek to ask permission to allow the respondents if they want to be part of the study.
The questions that will be found in the google forms survey questionnaire will be divided
in 3 sections. Section A will show the letter of consent, which will ask the participants to
voluntarily be part of the study. The letter of consent that is displayed to the questionnaire will be
explaining the research, its rationale and purpose, and the general instructions on how to fill out
the form. Section B (Appendix F) shall comprise of filing up personal information that will
obtain the demographic information of the respondents in terms of sex, age, grade level, strand
and previous years honor background. In terms of sex, it would show how many participants
were classified as males and females in the study. In terms of age, it would classify the
respondent’s age range. In terms of grade level it will classify students who are in grade-11 and
in grade-12. In terms of strands it would be determined by which strand the student belongs to,
either in STEM, HUMMS, and ABM/TVL And finally in terms of honor background, it will
show the students honorary background whether they are non-honor (grades with 89 and below)
determine the study’s aim to find out the students attitude towards different variables of time
management behaviours and how these attitudes may or may not identify a significant difference
between the demographics. The survey questions will total up to 17 statements that correspond to
different time management behaviours. And the participants will be ask to measure each
statement according to a 5-point Likert scale which ranges from (5)Strongly Agree, (4)Agree
(3)Sometimes Agree, (2) Disagree, and (1) Strongly Disagree. The Likert scale will be used to
determine whether or not the respondents agree, prefer, or disagree with a certain statement on
the survey questionnaire. With the help of the Likert scale, it will serve use to the researchers in
determining the attitudes of the participants in regards to the different variables of time
Moreover, since this is an adopted questionnaire the validly and reliability was not
created by the researchers themselves but simply based out of a standardized research study with
similar objectives that aligned with our study. The questionnaires from the study by Adham
Alyami et al. (2021) were validated by the research and ethics committee of faculty applied
medical science, KAU. The questionnaire was prepared on the basis of self-management,
awareness, management, preference and performance domains. However a few adjustments were
applied to the questionnaire mentioned to properly align the statements to benefit and collect
proper data to support this study’s research objectives. The original questionnaires had a pre-test
pilot study that was conducted on 20 students at king Abdul-Aziz University before distributing
it to a larger sample ( Alyami et al.. 2021). So therefore, the researchers shall do the same but
In order to collect sufficient amount of information and data for the research study the
researchers will be using the survey method to gather data from the students. A survey method is
a process, tool, or technique that you can use to gather information in research by asking
between the research participants and the person or organization carrying out the research
(Formplus Blog, 2021). The tool that the researchers will be using on the survey method is the
Google forms.
The following are the procedures on how the researchers will conduct the data collection:
The researchers will need the amount of senior high school students to conduct the data
collection, the researchers will go to the registrar to collect data on how many senior high school
students are enrolled in a private school of Dipolog City, Zamboanga del Norte. In which the
researchers already did as presented before as the data in the sample and sampling method. After
collecting the data, the researchers will thoroughly prepare the google forms questionnaires that
After the Google forms are prepared, the researchers will ask permission from their
advisor Ms. Bless Christine H. Noel (Appendix A) and their research teacher Ms. Faith Lanie
Lumayag (Appendix B) to start conducting the study and distribute the Google forms to the
participants.
Step 3: Permission from Principal
The researchers will then give a letter of consent to the principal (Appendix C) informing
the principal about the contents and objectives of the study and information about how the study
Step 4: Permission for cooperation and consent from respective class advisors.
Then the researchers will message each of the class advisors for permission to conduct
the study on their students and a request for cooperation (Appendix E). They will be informed
one by one through the use of the messenger application. The teachers will be asked for their
permission to help in fulfilling the study. The researchers will also request each of the advisors’
cooperation as the survey questionnaires will be handed out to them and unto their respective
students. The google forms link shall be first sent to the advisor and the advisor shall send the
