 CHAPTER 1

Background of the Study

A school is an educational institution which is set up with an aim to provide

education to the students. School learning is very important not only for children but also

for the nation. School provides the fundamental learning which is very crucial to build an

educated nation and knowledgeable labor force. Effective teaching and learning can only

take place when teacher and student attend to the school on a regular basis. Regular

attendance helps a student to prepare for the examination through class discussion.

One of the most important things a child can do to reach the goal of success is

also one of the most basic, attend school every day on time. Despite the strictness in

attendance policies, absenteeism is an important current issue among students worldwide.

Student attendance is a crucial determinant of academic outcomes in education, as

lectures are still part of the curriculum that engage in learning and assessment.

Teacher effectiveness is the strongest school-related determinant of student

success but chronic student absence reduces even the best teacher's ability to provide

learning opportunities. Poor attendance has serious implications for later outcomes.

Dealing with class attendance is not a new phenomenon; it has been a problem for

decades and has yet been extensively studied. Some students only attend classes to fulfill
the mandatory requirements of the institute. However, regular attendance accomplishes

several significant achievements.

Absenteeism of the students has a significant concern for any institute. When

students are absent from lectures, they miss valuable information. Various researches on

class attendance and performance show that students with high attendance achieve have

higher academic performance than those students who had poor class attendance. Class

attendance has an encouraging impact on students’ academic achievements, and

therefore, a mandatory attendance policy plays a significant role in accelerating academic

success in students.

With that in mind, the researchers are motivated to conduct a study that seeks to

investigate the impact of students attendance on the academic performance of the Grade-

12 students of Section Dunghoy from Camayaan National High School which could serve

as basis for future action plans on how to effectively establish and tighten the policy of

imperative attendance in the school.

Review and Related Literature

Student attendance is an important issue in today’s' education. Many schools have

compulsory attendance policies, while others refrain from making it as such. Despite the

different policies, there seems to be a consensus among the teachers about the positive

effect of attendance in academic performance. Not attending classes is seen as one of the

reasons for academic failure.

Moreover, regular school attendance is critical for academic success. Our goal is

to ensure that every student attends school regularly and on time. Showing up for school

has a huge impact on a student’s academic success starting in kindergarten and

continuing through high school. Parents play a key role in making sure students

understand why attendance is so important for success in school. We know that some

absences are unavoidable due to health problems or other circumstances.Some studies by

Ehrenberg et al. (1991) as well as Lamdin (1996) indicate that when learners have better

attendance rates, they often have higher passing rates on standardized achievement tests.

Furthermore, attendance in school is important because student are more likely to

succeed in academic when they attend school consistently (Pascopella, 2007). It is

difficult for teachers and students to built skills and progress if large numbers of students

are frequently absent. In addition to falling behind in academics, students who are not in

school on a regular basis are more likely to get into trouble with the law and cause

problems in their communities (Hocking, 2008).

 In the past decade, a number of studies have examined the relationship between

students attendance (or absenteeism) and academic performance, generally finding that

attendance does matter for academic achievements (e.g Durden and Ellis (1995),

Devadoss and Foltz (1996), Chan et al. (1997), Marburger (2001), Rodgers (2001), Bratti

and Sta olani (2002), Dolton et al. (2003), Kirby and McElroy (2003). This kind of

evidence has led some authors to call for measures to increase student attendance and

even to consider the possibility for making attendance mandatory.

School attendance is the daily or regular learner participation in school activities

(Gottfried, 2010). Through regular school attendance, learners get to access consistent

educational support for their academic attainment (Oghuvbu, 2010). When learners attain

academically, Honneth (1995) observes that they recognize their identities and

intersubjective awareness of their social and individual capabilities. Similarly, Fleming

(2008) advises that pupils need regular school attendance for them to be highly engaged

with classroom activities. Black et al. (2014) argue that school attendance is reinforced

through continuous teacher guidance and parental/guardian encouragement. However, it

is legitimate for school teachers to maintain a daily pupil attendance record (Bagaya,

2019). The attendance record is regularly reviewed by the head-teacher and the district

inspector of schools as a quality assurance measure (Nsubuga, 2008).

 The debate about the relationship between school attendance and academic

performance has preoccupied the attention of many scholars and researchers for decades.

Thus, this problem should not be ignored by schools and should be addressed properly by

making plans and formulating solutions. Studies must also be conducted to come up with

plans suited to maximize student attendance.

Null Hypothesis

There is no significant relationship between student’s attendance to their

academic performance.

There is a significant relationship between student’s attendance to their academic

performance.

Significance of the Study

 The researchers believed that the findings of the study are beneficial and valuable

to the following:

Learners. Final output of this study would give information to the student about

their attendance and academic performance.

Parents. The study would be useful to the parents as an awareness to their

children’s performance in their classes.

Teachers. The study would help the teachers to increase their knowledge and

awareness to the activeness of their students.

Future Researchers. The result of the study would be a basis for future student

researchers who will conduct researches which are related to this study, for them to create

and derive ideas from this study.

Scope and Delimitation

 This study will focus to the students attendance and the academic performance of

Grade 12 Dunghoy students at Camaya-an National Highschool.

This study is delimited only for the Grade 12 Dunhoy Students. The purpose of

this study is to determine the Student Attendance and Academic Performance of Grade

12 Dunghoy
 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Design

The study will use the correlational research design. Since it is a non-

experimental type of quantitavie research, the researcher will utilize the existing

documents pertaining to the Form 2 and GSA of the students of Grade- 12 Dunhoy.

Research Environment and Participants

The study will be conducted at Camayaan National Highschool, a public school

located at Camayaan, Loboc Bohol.

This study is limited only to the Grade-11 students from Section Kamarang. This

section is composed of 53 students with 24 girls and 29 boys.

Research Instrument

The researchers will utilize the secondary data such (a) Form 2 and (b) GSA of

every subject from each subject teacher upon the request of the researchers.
 The academic achievement of the students reflected in the GSA will be used as a

measurement of the respondents’ Academic Performance.

Gathering of Data

The researchers will sent a letter to the Principal’s Office addressed to Mrs. Mia

Marie J. Biliran, to the researcher’s Adviser; Mr. Marvin Go and to the respondent’s

Adviser; Mrs. Gemma Antonnete E. Barcenas, asking permission for the conduct of

study. Upon approval, the researcher’s will secure the complete list of the Grade-12

students of section Dunghoy from the Classroom Adviser.

Furthermore, the researchers will personally visit the respective subject teachers

and give a letter reqesting for the Form 2 and GSA of the respondents.

After the collection of data, it will be tallied, tabulated, analyzed and interpreted.

Data Analysis

To determine the significant relationship between the Student’s Attendance and

the Academic Performance of the Grade-12 Dunghoy, Pearson Correlation will be used
Statisctical Treatment
