ABSTRACT
Deadlines are the latest time or date before which something should be completed.
This study aimed to identify and define the relationship between deadlines and students’
capacity, as well as the concept behind deadline impact and the actual influence of
completing projects and requirements. The research design employed was qualitative.
There were fifty-six (56) respondents chosen randomly from St. Patrick Math-Sci School
located in Davao City. The stratified random sampling technique was employed by a
selection of participants. The survey method of research was applied to conduct the study
and the questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. In the research process, the
it was shown that deadlines are beneficial since they enhance the students' development of
time management skills and make it easier for the students to complete school tasks. It also
indicates that junior high school pupils of St. Patrick Math-Sci School develop a more
students’ preferences between long-term and tight deadlines, it suggests that long-term
deadlines are extremely beneficial to students because it can provide students adequate
time to complete their schoolwork. It can also assist students to minimize stress and time
hypotheses that resulted from the findings were accepted. The pupils are aware of the
various types of deadlines and how they affect and influence their performance in terms of
their assignments, and it is critical that these aspects be considered. Students must learn
iv
how to be flexible and creative, and learn how to seek other strategies that could help and
encourage them to fulfill or complete their school tasks by the deadline. This study should
promote teachers to set reasonable deadlines that are suitable for and acceptable to students,
as well as parents to be less strict and not put pressure on their children when accomplishing
schoolwork.

THE PROBLEM
Introduction
“Everybody knows the power of deadlines – and we all hate them. But their
Deadlines are extremely helpful to students. Teachers, employees, and others could
also benefit from them. In society, deadlines play an important role in achieving goals,
particularly for young students whose objective is to graduate school and obtain a degree.
(G. Kuh et al., 2020). Some Junior high school students of St. Patrick Math-Sci School
have observed that their teachers are giving them more challenging tasks and activities.
The students' primary objective in these circumstances is to complete the tasks and
burdened by time and energy demands to meet certain academic goals. This stress can
originate from a multitude of places and have a wide range of emotional and academic
consequences for students. Many junior high school students are currently fussing about
their academic tasks because the given deadlines are so short, and some of them are unsure
of how, where, and when to begin, complete, and finish the tasks.

learning objectives (N. Batbaatar & G. Amin, 2021). Based on this phenomenon, the

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
Deadlines Overview
Deadlines are always impactful. You can handle your projects on time if you keep
to your deadlines, no matter how hard or simple the assignment is. Large activities can be
made more manageable by setting deadlines. You start by breaking down a large
assignment into smaller projects and assigning deadlines to each one. This is how you can
effectively and efficiently manage your time. You are also less inclined to delay if you
keep track of these deadlines. These deadlines will keep you on your toes all of the time.
According to the study "Deadlines: How Effective Time Constraints Can Boost
factors, including whether the deadline marks a point by or at which something must be
actively done (e.g., undertake a certain action), or the point by or at which a goal must be
met (e.g., pass a certain threshold), or whether the deadline is concrete (e.g., “by Friday at
5”) or abstract (e.g., “by the end of the week”). Deadlines are frequently categorized
somewhere on the concrete-abstract spectrum (e.g. “by Friday at 5” is more concrete than
“by Friday”, which is more concrete than “by the end of the week”), depending on whether
or not meeting the deadline would have any implications, and if so, what those
consequences are (e.g., positive consequences, such as a reward for getting something done
by the deadline, or negative consequences, such as a punishment for not getting something

done by the deadline). Other factors, such as the possibility of the consequence being
momentum, and produce higher-quality work. Interim deadlines help to avoid a massive
pile of work accumulating after the project, which is frustrating for everyone concerned.
M. et al. (2018), a short survey about retirement planning was distributed to volunteers at
a local community center. They made two unanticipated deadlines. The online survey could
be accessible for the next seven days in one group, but 14 days in the other. Participants
who had a longer deadline wrote longer responses to the survey and spent more time on it,
according to the findings. However, there was a catch: those same participants were more
likely to procrastinate and less likely to finish the project than their time-constrained
counterparts.
establishing and achieving deadlines may assist you in achieving both personal and
and efficient technique to help you finish activities in the order in which they are most
important. Because time is finite and there are many ways to spend it, determining what is
most important to you and setting deadlines for those activities might help you make better
use of your time. Prioritization could assist you in concentrating on the tasks that are most
likely to yield positive results. When setting a deadline, you must decide how much time

you will give yourself to finish a work. This requires you to think about all of the steps
you'll need to finish an assignment, as well as how long each one will take. After going
through this thought process, you should have a better understanding of your objectives
and what it will take to attain them. Setting a deadline for finishing a task might help you
stay motivated to do it on time. There may not be a direct incentive for you to accomplish
a work until a specific point in time if no deadline is specified, which typically means it
takes longer than it should. A deadline can motivate you to complete tasks on time, even if
When you're under a tight deadline, you'll need to think outside the box to get the
job done. People are more inclined to be creative when they are forced to be so, therefore
a well-defined deadline may aid an individual or a team in reaching their maximum creative
potential. Setting and keeping to deadlines would assist you to avoid making promises you
won't be able to meet. It's usually simpler to figure out which activities you have time for
and which you don't when all of your chores have a clear deadline. This is crucial
information to have when considering whether or not to take on a new task, since having
deadlines for all of your current activities may help you assess if you have time to take on
in our fast-paced, internet-speed (faster than microwave-speed) culture, and the prices are
worrisome. Putting off a task until its due date not only causes tension, but it also destroys
brain cells, reduces creativity, and the stress it causes can be detrimental to one's health,
according to studies. Worse, it creates a vicious feedback cycle, making a person as reliant
Student’s Capacity
Based on the book entitled “Inclusive Theory and Practice in Special Education”
Sternberg, R. (2020) define gifted and academically talented students as those who,
behaviors that suggest the opportunity of achieving. Others believe that academic talent
and abilities are socially determined and that schools have a responsibility to "level the
playing field" and enhance the capacity of all students, particularly children of
minorities, and pupils from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds (J. Oakes, 2018).
According to Dennis, C. (2017), academic skills are the aspects of behavior learned
by students that are required to operate successfully at the level of higher education.
Practicing these skills leads to the development of graduate attributes, such as problem
solving and analytical ability, effective communication, and creativity and innovation.
Academic skills are made up of essential skills like academic writing, public speaking, and
referencing, which serve as a foundation for more sophisticated skills like critical thinking
of education and is regarded as the center of the entire educational system (R. Rono, 2018).
According to Narad, A. & Abdullah, B. (2018), the success or failure of any academic

teachers to be reached over a specified period of time. They further said that these

acquisition and skill development. They highlighted that the academic success of kids is
associated with being a "good student," according to Farrington, C. et al. (2017), and

a regular basis, paying attention and participating in class, and devoting out-of-school time
relates to students' ego, beliefs, perceptions, and inclinations about themselves, their
academic potential, and their connection with school (C. Dweck et al., 2017). The student's
capacity is likewise linked to a fixed-ability mindset. This is the concept that intelligence
and academic ability are fixed attributes that students either have or don't have, and that
these qualities can't be changed through effort. It is also known as an "entity" hypothesis
change behavior in order to avoid failure or shame, such as disguising effort and avoiding
academically demanding circumstances. The idea is similar to, but not the same as, having
a fixed-ability attitude (C. Farrington, et al., 2017). It's a feature of intellectual thinking.

scenario, and that one can take activities that will lead to those goals. It is a resource that
equips people with the skills they need to choose and achieve the life objectives they want.

individuals as active agents capable of initiating change in their own and others' lives,
performance, as well as objectives and results expectations. On the other hand, it is defined
as a dynamic set of ego about one's performance in various areas that interacts with
Self-efficacy is linked to the idea of self-control and the ability to change your
behavior in order to achieve your objectives. It's more of a plan for accomplishing one's
objectives, as well as the belief that one can succeed, particularly when it comes to learning.
Self-efficacy is often associated with motivation, and vice versa. Those who have a high
level of self-efficacy are more likely to not only achieve, but also to bounce back and

New York Times” noted, poorer youngsters are attending schools that preach technology-
based learning while their more affluent peers are "returning to wooden toys and the luxury
of human connection." It's a glaring irony that it's also a primary driver of academic
attainment gaps depending on race and class. According to the latest Pew study, which

Summary of Findings
The research’s main objectives are described in the first chapter, notably in the
statement of the problem. Three primary questions must be addressed to fulfill the
requirements of the study. Through the courses made by the researchers to answer these
1. The data shows that deadlines, especially long deadlines, have a substantial impact
on the capacity or performance of St. Patrick Math-Sci School junior high school
learners. According to the students, longer deadlines are far more helpful when
accomplishing tasks than short deadlines since they reduce anxiety and increase
for meeting a deadline. However, the data indicates that they are less satisfied with
their time management skills. The majority of students are more likely to be
motivated to complete tasks because doing so allows them to feel less worried after

their flexibility.

students claimed that being tired causes them to delay finishing their homework.
Conclusions
After gathering data from fifty-six (56) respondents who came from St. Patrick
Math-Sci School Junior High School Department, the researchers determined that there are
two main factors of deadline impact, the effects (physical) and the influence (mental and
driver for the students’ productivity when accomplishing school tasks. When it comes to
completing school responsibilities, the majority of students preferred longer deadlines over
short deadlines. Alternative hypotheses based on the findings were accepted since it was
revealed that deadlines had a significant impact on student performance. The study
indicates that learners are aware of the various kinds of deadlines and how they affect and
influence their ability to complete school work. It also shows that most students can meet
certain students will most likely be unable to do so. Students also had some difficulties
submitting their assignments, and it is crucial that these issues be taken into account.
Therefore, the researchers came to the conclusion that deadlines of any kind had a
Recommendations
1. Though the study indicates that students develop a comprehensive strategy for
completing school tasks and meeting deadlines, it is still suggested that students
must learn to be more flexible and creative, and learn to seek out other strategies,
not just a detailed one, to help and encourage them to complete their school tasks
in a timely manner.
2. If students are having difficulty completing projects by the deadline, they may seek
assistance from others. They could delegate work to someone else, allowing them
For many students, being overwhelmed by the task at hand is a common source of
procrastination. This may cause them to become stressed and put off getting started.
Taking away distractions is one technique that could help individuals avoid
procrastination.

less stressed. However, the researchers do not recommend that teachers give
students long deadlines all of the time because they may encourage pupils to

5. The study also advises that parents should be less demanding with their children
when it comes to schoolwork performance. Giving also their children extra chores
and obligations outside of their competence causes academic pressure and anxiety
