 The Academic Performance of Deviate First Year College
Students of Xavier University
Statement of the Problem:

Senior high school students are expected to choose courses in college that are vertically aligned with
their strands. However, there are some students who tend to choose a different path for college or were
not able to choose what their strand in senior high school should be in the first place. Hence, this study
intends to describe the academic performance of the deviate first year college students in accordance
with contributing factors behind their strand placement and course preference. The following are the
research questions of the study:
1.What is the academic performance of the deviate first year college students of Xavier University?
2.What is the academic performance of the deviate students on their major subjects in their first year
of college in Xavier University?
3.What are the lessons in senior high school that contributed to the courses of the deviate students?
4.What are the factors that led to the deviate students to be placed in their strands in senior high school
(regardless of school)?
5.What are the factors that contributed to the course preference of the deviate students?
 METHODOLOGY

The researcher will design a semi-structured interview questionnaire guide. One-

on-one personal interviews and focus group discussion will be used by the
researcher to gather the data needed. Personal interviews will be for fast-paced
interviews with respondents who may be unavailable for focus group discussion,
while the latter will be used with respondents who are willing to allot time and to
schedule their availability with the researcher. The interview questions for both the
one-on-one and focus group discussions will entail the academic performances of
the deviate students or the respondents in their first year in college, after their two-
year program in senior high school. The questions will also cover their learnings
from the program, and the factors that affected their placements in their strands and
factors that affected their course of preference in college.
 FEEDBACK

More interactive since they will be discussing with people

their age, and even the possibility of similar shs strands

More in depth information, especially if interviewee’s reason

of deviating is personal

We can get a grasp of their situation more, if they are easily
adapting/challenged with programs that are not aligned with
their shs strand
