The Problem and Its Background
Background of the Study
In the Philippines, motorcycles have become a popular mode of
transportation especially for the students, particularly in rural areas where
public transportation is limited. The use of motorcycles as mode of
transportation for students has been a concern for schools and parents due
to the associated safety risks, but it has also been recognized as a practical
solution to address transportation challenges. According to Rosales et al.’s
(2019), those students who use motorcycle had greater attendance rates
than those who walked or took public transit. The study also discovered that
punctuality wan never affected by motorcycle use in a major way.
Attendance of students is one of the key factors that contribute to
the academic success of students. Consistent attendance allows students to
engage in learning process and receive their academic goals. However,
various factors can affect a student’s, including transportation to and from
school. The use of motorcycles for students has been a growing trend in
recent years, particularly in developing countries where public
transportation is limited. According to Diem et al. (2015). The study
examined the relationship between students’ mode of transportation and
attendance in two urban high schools in United States. The result showed
that students who used a motorcycle had significantly lower attendance
rates than students who used other modes of transportation, such as
078-258-6133
QUEZON DISTRICT
walking, biking, or taking the bus.
Punctuality is another important factor that can impact a students’
academic success. Arriving on time to school allows students to participate
fully in classroom activities, engage with their peers and teachers, and
receive the necessary instruction to achieve their academic goals. However,
punctuality can be affected by various factors, including transportation to
and from school. According to Adi et al. (2018), students who used
motorcycle taxis to travel to schools were more likely to arrive late than
those who used other modes of transportation, such as walking, or taking
public transits.
In conclusion, the mode of transportation that students use to get to
and from school can have a significant impact in their attendance and
punctuality, for which are crucial components of academic success. One of
the projects of SSG here in Quezon National High School this school year
2022-2023 is the parking area that is intended for the motorcycles of
students. Studies have shown that students who use other modes of
transportation have lower attendance rates and are more likely to be tardy
than those who use other mode of transportation such as walking, biking, or
taking public transportation.
With that claims above, this study aims to investigate the effects of
having motorcycles as a mode of transportation to the attendance and
punctuality of senior high school students and their level of convenience in
using motorcycle as primary mode of transportation.

Conceptual Framework
The mode of transportation used by students can play a significant
role in their attendance and punctuality at school. This is particularly
relevant for senior high school students who are responsible for managing
their own transportation to and from school. Among the various modes of
transportation available to students, motorcycles are becoming an
increasingly popular choice due to their affordability, flexibility, and speed.
However, the impact of using motorcycles on student attendance and
punctuality has not been extensively studied, particularly in the context of
senior high schools.
According to Kurniawan and Puspita (2020), students who primarily
used motorbikes for mobility had lower rates of attendance and punctuality
than those who mostly used other forms of transportation. The researchers
hypothesized that this might be because of the potential for motorcycle
failures as well as the elevated risk of accidents. Another study tells different
findings, according to Cheng and Wang (2020), students who commuted
mostly by motorcycle had greater attendance rates than those who rode
other types of vehicle. The researchers hypothesized that this might be
because utilizing a motorcycle as a form of transportation is convenient and
adaptable.
There are positive effect of using motorcycle, but using motorcycle has
many negative effects that can affect us badly. Some say using motorcycle
078-258-6133
QUEZON DISTRICT
makes us more convenient specially when going to school. One of the
negative effects of using motorcycle is the students’ safety concerns,
motorcycles are considered to be more dangerous than other vehicles, and
accidents involving motorcycles often result in serious injuries or fatalities.
Injuries sustained from accidents can lead to missed classes and tardiness,
affecting the student’s attendance and punctuality. To conclude motorcycle
use has many positive effects on students, but there is much more negative
effects to students, like their safety concerns, motorcycle use is the most
dangerous transportation than other vehicles.

own transportation, such as a motorcycle, tend to be more punctual and
have better attendance than those who rely on public transportation or
walking.
Another study conducted in Malaysia by Abdullah et al. (2018) discovered
that high school pupils who commuted by motorcycles had greater
attendance rates and were more punctual than those who took the bus or
walked. According to the report, this is because motorcycles are quick and
convenient, enabling pupils to go to school on time.
For instance, a study conducted in Tanzania by Mushi and Mpogole (2019)
found that students who lived further away from school and had to travel
longer distances to get to school were more likely to have poor attendance
and punctuality. In addition, students who relied on unreliable forms of
transportation such as walking or using public transportation were more
likely to have poor attendance and punctuality.
Transportation was identified as one of the key factors influencing students'
attendance and punctuality in a study by Marilou D. Tadlip, et al. (2016)
titled "Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Attendance and Punctuality of

Synthesis of Foreign and Local Literature
The literature reviewed focuses on the factors that affect attendance and
punctuality of high school students, with a particular emphasis on
transportation convenience, especially motorcycle use. The studies were
conducted in various countries, including Vietnam, Nepal, Uganda,
Thailand, Taiwan, and China.
Tran Thi Tuyet-Hanh et al. (2018) studied the commuting habits of rural
Vietnamese high school students and found that long travel distances and
poor road conditions were the main reasons for poor attendance. Hsin-Fang
078-258-6133
QUEZON DISTRICT
Wu, Shih-Hsuan Hsu, and Shih-Wei Chou (2019) identified transportation
convenience as one of the significant factors affecting senior high school
students' attendance. Similarly, Pradhan (2019) investigated motorcycle
riding's impact on attendance in Nepal and found that students who used
motorcycles had better attendance rates.
Ziblim Abukari and Joshua Wilde (2019) explored how motorcycle taxi use
affects pupils' attendance in rural Uganda and found that students who
used motorcycles had better attendance than those who did not. Michelle
Dwane and Jeffry Orton (2020) examined motorcycle and taxi use's effect on
students' attendance in the state and found that students who used
motorcycles and taxis had better attendance than those who did not.
Huang, Y. (2019) investigated how motorcycle use affects high school
students' attendance and academic performance and found that students
who used motorcycles had better attendance but slightly lower academic
performance. On the other hand, Fredrich Clark and Jade Brown (2020)
identified transportation convenience, including motorcycle use, as one of
the factors affecting junior high school students' attendance.
Regarding punctuality, there were no studies reviewed in this synthesis.
However, the convenience level of transportation, especially motorcycles,
was a recurring theme. Nattapong Akkasriworn et al. (2018) examined the
078-258-6133
QUEZON DISTRICT
advantages of motorcycle commuting for Thai high school students, while C.
L. Chuang (2019) investigated the motorcycle culture of high school
students in Taiwan. Y. Liu et al. (2020) explored the safety and convenience
of motorcycles for high school students in rural areas of China.
Overall, the studies reviewed suggest that transportation convenience,
especially motorcycle use, plays a significant role in high school students'
attendance. However, further research is needed to understand how
transportation convenience affects punctuality and academic performance.
Synthesis of Foreign and Local Studies
The foreign studies reviewed here show that transportation plays a
significant role in students' attendance and punctuality. Several studies
found that students who used motorcycles as their primary mode of
transportation had better attendance and were less likely to be tardy than
those who relied on public transportation, walking, or other modes of
transportation. The use of motorcycles was attributed to their speed and
flexibility, enabling students to navigate through traffic more easily and
arrive at school on time.
Moreover, the studies highlight the impact of transportation on students
who live far away from school and have to travel long distances. Those who
078-258-6133
QUEZON DISTRICT
relied on unreliable forms of transportation or had to rely on public
transportation were more likely to have poor attendance and punctuality. In
contrast, students who had their own transportation, such as a motorcycle,
tended to be more punctual and have better attendance.
Overall, these studies suggest that transportation is an essential factor that
impacts students' attendance and punctuality. Improving transportation
infrastructure and providing students with more reliable and efficient
transportation options could potentially improve attendance and punctuality
rates, which may ultimately lead to better academic performance.

The researchers also use structured type of questions to provide fixed
response for the respondents. There are four parts of survey questionnaires,
the first question talks about the respondents’ demographic profile, and the
second question talks about how often they use their safety gears, and the
third question talks about the effects of using motorcycle to the respondents’
attendance and punctuality, and lastly, the fourth question talks about the
respondents’ rating on the convenience level of using motorcycle and its
effect on their attendance and punctuality.
Data Gathering Procedure
First, the researchers will identify the respondents of the study. Next, the
researchers will prepare the research instrument and the research teacher
will check it for validity. Then the researchers will make a request letter
requesting for the approval and permission to conduct a study from the
principal. Upon approval, the researchers will ask for the respondents’
cooperation to answer the questionnaires. Afterwards, the gathered data
from the respondents will be recorded, interpreted, and analyzed.
Data Gathering Analysis
In order to analyze the data gathered for this study, the researchers made

The Problem and Its Background

Background of the Study

In the Philippines, motorcycles have become a popular mode of

transportation especially for the students, particularly in rural areas where

public transportation is limited. The use of motorcycles as mode of

solution to address transportation challenges. According to Rosales et al.’s

punctuality wan never affected by motorcycle use in a major way.

Attendance of students is one of the key factors that contribute to

the academic success of students. Consistent attendance allows students to

engage in learning process and receive their academic goals. However,

various factors can affect a student’s, including transportation to and from

recent years, particularly in developing countries where public

transportation is limited. According to Diem et al. (2015). The study

examined the relationship between students’ mode of transportation and

that students who used a motorcycle had significantly lower attendance

rates than students who used other modes of transportation, such as

walking, biking, or taking the bus.

Punctuality is another important factor that can impact a students’

academic success. Arriving on time to school allows students to participate

receive the necessary instruction to achieve their academic goals. However,

punctuality can be affected by various factors, including transportation to

those who used other modes of transportation, such as walking, or taking

In conclusion, the mode of transportation that students use to get to

punctuality, for which are crucial components of academic success. One of

taking public transportation.

having motorcycles as a mode of transportation to the attendance and

punctuality of senior high school students and their level of convenience in

using motorcycle as primary mode of transportation.

The mode of transportation used by students can play a significant

role in their attendance and punctuality at school. This is particularly

transportation available to students, motorcycles are becoming an

increasingly popular choice due to their affordability, flexibility, and speed.

However, the impact of using motorcycles on student attendance and

punctuality has not been extensively studied, particularly in the context of

senior high schools.

According to Kurniawan and Puspita (2020), students who primarily

hypothesized that this might be because of the potential for motorcycle

findings, according to Cheng and Wang (2020), students who commuted

other types of vehicle. The researchers hypothesized that this might be

because utilizing a motorcycle as a form of transportation is convenient and

makes us more convenient specially when going to school. One of the

negative effects of using motorcycle is the students’ safety concerns,

motorcycles are considered to be more dangerous than other vehicles, and

accidents involving motorcycles often result in serious injuries or fatalities.
