The factors affecting the academic performance of Baliwasan Senior High School

Stand-Alone FBS 12 students in the new normal

1. The coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak disrupted life around the globe in 2020. As in

any other sector, the COVID-19 pandemic affected education in many ways.

Government actions have followed a common goal of reducing the spread of

coronavirus by introducing measures limiting social contact. Many countries

suspended face-to-face teaching and exams as well as placing restrictions on

immigration affecting Erasmus students. Where possible, traditional classes are being

replaced with books and materials taken from school. Various e-learning platforms

enable interaction between teachers and students, and, in some cases, national

television shows or social media platforms are being used for education. Some

education systems announced exceptional holidays to better prepare for this distance-

learning scenario.

2. The new normal brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic has wreaked havoc on the

worldwide schools, particularly among the students. students' plight began long before

the new normal, and their difficulties have been documented in recent years. These

previous months, lots of unexpected things have been happening. The important

events, plans, and including the significant lives of people have been destroyed. The

impact of novel-coronavirus (Covid-19) has made headlines in global news. This

pandemic brings huge matters in the lives of individuals and most especially to the
 students where their education is greatly affected. According to the United Nations

Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the pandemic has

interrupted the learning of more than one billion students in 129 countries around the

world.

3. Tuition increases in both the public and private sectors, as well as reductions in

government subsidies to institutions. Families' benefits, on the other hand, have been

dropping for the past decade. Many students take out loans to pay for their education.

However, many students are cautious to borrow because, in recent years, dropping

salaries and an increase in non-standard jobs have made it difficult to guarantee a

consistent income after graduation. The ratio of working students is increasing

every year as a result of these socioeconomic variables.

4. Within a society characterized by rapid social and technological change, the

educational processes of teaching and learning are extremely complex. In today

transitional age, youth are involving with more advance kinds of thinking,

analysis, and valuing than any other known group in history (Jacobson and

drier ,1973, p.29) this is an age of change that requires new and rapid adjustment and

as a student participating in the home-learning program, online school was confusing

to adjust to as we had not been prepared through simulations or practices beforehand.

Students reported the home-learning program to be even more stressful than regular

classrooms. Some of the common reasons for this went along the lines of: "Normal
 classes may have been difficult, but having friends makes it so much more manageable

and less stressful. Online classes take out the benefits of having friends to socialize

with and being stuck alone with nothing but assignments."

5. The new normal has a big impact on students’ lives, most especially the working

students. Working students have demonstrated that working part-time for lengthy

periods of time might cause mental health difficulties, which has been linked to

lower academic achievement. As a result, the factors that affect the new normal on

student workers' jobs and lives may differ from that of a typical recession.

6. Academic Performance of the working students have attracted increased attention

among the teachers and students with the aim of knowing and understanding the

reasons, problems and other factors affecting them. This may empower them for

lifelong learning to their journey to success hindered by their busy schedule and

always no time to their study and academic performance.

7. In this paper we consider two crucial job dimensions: the work intensity and its

relationship with the field of study. Some studies have previously considered the

relevance of these two attributes of the job performed during higher education for

academic and labor market outcomes, but in a separate fashion. In particular, Triventi

(2014), Darolia (2014) and Body et al. (2014) have focused on the relevance of work

intensity on academic performance, showing that a negative impact is found

 when students are employed in full-time jobs, while part-time jobs do not seem to

have a significant impact on academic achievements.

8. A related study conducted by Marsh and Kleitman (2005) showed that working

during senior high school had negative effects on occupational and in particular,

educational aspirations and subsequent employment. This negative impact is not

present among continuing students who worked during senior high to save money for

college and in fact had mostly favorable effects. Findings from the study offered

additional clues about the nature of the impact of working on subsequent

unemployment.

9. In a research proposal established by Bagongon & Edpalina (2009), the researchers

planned to investigate the possible relationship of study habits and the factors

affecting it to the academic achievement of students of Xavier University- Ateneo

de Cagayan. They used Time management, learning skills, and study skills as

independent variables to find out how it affects students’ study habits.

10. A departmental report released in March 2021 found that 99% of public school

students got passing marks for the first academic quarter of last year. But other surveys

claim that students are being disadvantaged. Over 86% of the 1,299 students polled

by the Movement for Safe, Equitable, Quality and Relevant Education said they

learned less through the education department’s take-home modules—so did 66% of
 those using online learning and 74% using a blend of online learning and hard-copy

material.

11. This study focuses on the Academic Performance of FBS 12 students. In

educational institutions, success is measured by academic performance, or how well a

student meets standards set out by local government and the institution itself. As

career competition grows ever fiercer in the working world, the importance of students

doing well in school has caught the attention of parents, legislators and government

education departments alike.

12. In conclusion, the findings revealed that the lockdown made significant disruptions

in students’ learning experience. The students also reported some challenges that

they faced during their online classes. These include anxiety, depression, poor

Internet service, and unfavorable home learning environment, which are

aggravated when students are marginalized and from remote areas. According to the

Filipino Home Economics Association, some of the obstacles faced by students in

Food and beverage services include a shortage of funds to purchase necessary

supplies or ingredients for their performances. In addition, the technique of

instruction is poor and unsuitable. Students' and instructors' attitudes are out of

control. That is why the majority of pupils are unable to cope with the epidemic,

especially those working students.
