THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

This chapter of the paper presents the problem and it is setting. It includes the

background of the study, the statement of the problem, conceptual framework of the study,

significance of the study, scope and delimitation of the study and it’s definition of terms.

Introduction

According to Quach, (2013), stress and worry that students feel as a result of

demanding schoolwork, high academic standards, and the pressure to perform well in their

studies is referred to as academic pressure. The mental health, general well-being, and

academic achievement of students may suffer as a result of this strain. Perform well

academically may experience elevated levels of stress, anxiety, and melancholy. Numerous

symptoms, including trouble focusing, feelings of overwhelm, adjustments to food and

sleeping schedules, and even physical complaints like headaches and stomachaches, can

indicate this. Students immune systems might be weakened and rendered more vulnerable to

sickness by long-term stress brought on by scholastic pressure. It is estimated that 10–30% of

students experience some degree of academic stress during their academic career (Alsulamim

2018).

According to National Institutes of Health (2022), mental health of students is

extremely bad in today's time. We live in a time where everything is a competition and

everyone is a competitor. Students are under tremendous pressure to do well at all times as a

result, which occasionally pushes them over the edge. There are many different forms of

pressure on students these days (Priya, 2018). It is not just the parents and other family

members. It is also the schools and society at large. Students today experience pressure from

society in many different ways. In addition, being competitive, the current era also lacks
space and work prospects, maybe as a result of population growth (Chiang, 2009).

Multiple studies have been conducted about academic stress and pressures, their effects on

mental health, and the general well-being of students worldwide. The results of these research

have been inconsistent. However, a consistent conclusion over an extended period of research

highlights the favorable association between parental pressure, academic stress, and

psychiatric issues. Nowadays, the majority of students experience emotional hardship related

to their academics. It may be beneficial for students to experience some degree of stress

related to their studies, but the stress that today's students experience is by no means

moderate. (Chambel, 2005).

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study is to identify multiple causes of academic pressure that

A hypothesis is a prediction of the possible outcomes of a study (Fraenkel &

Wallen, 2009).

Hypotheses are statements in quantitative research in which the investigator

makes a prediction or a conjecture about the outcome of a relationship among

attributes or characteristics (Creswell, 2012)

Significance of the Study

Determines the audience who will benefit from a study of the problem and

explains how exactly will the results be significant to them.

Scope and Delimitation

This presents the coverage of the research in terms of location, time,

respondents, etc., and the potential weaknesses or problems with the study

identified by the researcher.

Definition of Terms
 Variables and sub-variables or values in conceptual framework are defined,

except very common variables like grade level, gender, school type where the values

are indicated in the framework itself.

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

This chapter of the paper presents the review of related literature, the

conceptual framework, the research hypotheses, and the definition of terms.

Related Literature

This is a written summary of journal articles, books, and other documents that

describes the past and current state of information on the topic of your research

study.

Chapter 3
METHODOLOGY

This chapter includes sed the research design, participants of the study,

interview guide questions and validation of interview guide questions.

Research Design

Research designs are the specific procedures involved in the research

process: sampling, data collection, and data analysis.

The Participants

The set of questions made by the researchers will be in the followed format by the

participants in answering the questions to gather relevant information that

corresponds to the issue of this study. The researchers looked for approximately 10

members of ………….. and asked for consent to be interviewed

Interview Guide Questions

This refers to the questionnaire or data gathering tool to be constructed,

validated and administered (Creswell, 2012).

Data Collection Procedure

The researchers derived to ___ questions that will be used in the interview

and will be asking ten (10) members of ________________ around __________.

Since it is impossible and indeed not advisable for the researchers to have a

one-on-one interview with the participants of the study, the researchers have

decided to conduct it via online where it could also be possible to have an

exchange of words between the researchers and respondents. After getting the

answers from the participants, the researchers may now continue the study of

knowing the impact of social media to religious beliefs of every member.
