This study focused on the lived experiences of 11 working students and how these students balanced their studies and work at the same time. As an output of the study, a handbook that may help teachers, parents, and students to monitor their attendance and performance in school were proposed. The study made use of qualitative research with an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), a qualitative approach that aimed to provide detailed examinations of personal lived experience. Purposeful sampling was used. The participants of the study were the selected 11 working students, ages 14-17 years old of Barangay San Cristobal, Calamba City. Questionnaires and interviews were used as instruments to gather data. After collecting all the responses from the participants, the researcher extracted ten (10) themes from the responses, these were Nature, Length and Time of Work, Varied Reasons for Working, Income, and Spending, Different Experiences While Working and Studying, Status of Studies: All is Well, Challenges Faced, Balancing School and Work, Effects on them as a Child, To Quit or Not to Quit, Based on Experience: Giving Advice. Although their main priority was their studies, they always made sure to do their best to balance both work and studies. They made sure to give enough time for studies because they had goals and dreams they wanted to achieve but at the same time, they also gave their best and attention to work because it gave them financial support and benefits. Combining work and studies was not for everyone. These working students showed maturity, a sense of responsibility, and discipline to make it work.

A working student is a person who works and goes to school as a student at the same time. Being a working student needs considerable effort not only in his work but also in his studies. Being a working student is extremely hard because they need to give 100% of their attention when they are in school and give 100% of their strength when they work. This research used quantitative research and descriptive method to describe the characteristics of a population being studied. Survey questionnaires were administered to 50Grade 12 Performing Arts students who were chosen through purposive sampling. The survey questionnaire was constructed to determine the challenges encountered by the working students that affect their academic performance. The result of the study showed that in terms of working students, the weighted mean of the respondents was 3.7, which strongly agreed that the financial aspect is the major challenge encountered by working students that affect their academic performance. Meanwhile, the weighted means of the respondents was 3.1, which agreed that time management is a minor challenge encountered by working students that affect their academic performance. The weighted mean of the respondents was 3.25, which agreed that priorities are also a minor challenge encountered by working students that affects their academic performance. The researchers recommended the following in terms of time management. If you are a working student, then you should know how to manage your time. A working student should know how to spend his or her time equally between study and work., plan everything, and do plan strategies. In terms of priorities, there will be a moment that working students have to choose between work and school; working students should know what is more important to prioritize; even if you are tired, you have to push yourself and be determined regarding the things that you need to do. One should prioritize their goal to achieve their dreams. In terms of the financial aspect, working students should save more for future expenses, use their money on things that they need and not on things that they want, know how to budget their money, practice effective strategies to save money.

Executive Summary Recent adult immigrants 1 arrive in Canada but some find difficulty obtaining jobs or attaining employment in their fields of expertise. This prompts a substantial number to attend post-secondary education (PSE) to improve their Canadian credentials, where they often face access and completion barriers. This synthetic review is divided into two parts. The first part consists of two quantitative analyses of the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants in Canada (LSIC); the first examines the economic integration of recent ...

Most existing research indicates that working students perform more poorly than do full-time students on standardized achievement tests. However, we know there are wide international variations in this gap. This article shows that national and international contexts help to explain the gap in the academic performance between working and nonworking middle-school students. We combined data from the 2003 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study eighth-grade assessment with the countryspecific information on socioeconomic and educational conditions, as well as the timing of each country’s ratification of an international treaty regulating child labor. Our multilevel analyses show that, while student employment is generally negatively associated with academic performance, this negative association is smaller in countries that by 1995 had ratified the International Labour Organisation’s Convention 138 on child labor. These findings highlight the role of national and international policy in structuring the consequences of student employment for academic performance.

Academic Stress Level Determination among College Students in Times of Covid-19 Pandemic

Article sidebar.

Main Article Content

This study measured the level of academic stress among students regarding personal inadequacy, fear of failure, interpersonal difficulties with teachers, and inadequate learning resources in times of Covid-19 pandemic Using a descriptive-comparative approach. Slovin's formula was used to identify the respondents with a stratified random sampling technique to generate the required sample size of the study. The results revealed that the level of academic stress in times of the Covid-19 pandemic is high. It is also revealed that there is no significant difference in the level of academic stress when respondents are grouped according to sex, year level, and the number of hours spent for modular learning per day and provided significant difference when grouped according to course. Demographic profiles show that most of the students belong to the poor classification of monthly family income and with a low allowance for internet subscriptions. It also shows that with the intensity of requirements in the course pack, most students allocated many hours to answer the lessons per day. Present findings suggest that the institution must address intervention schemes through academic and non-academic services.

Home ⇛ harvest ⇛ vol. 15 no. 1 (2019), student workload: its impact on the learning experiences of senior high school students.

Ma. Niña I. Adriano | Melanie M. Santos

Student workload has been recognized as a major factor in the teaching and learning environment (Kyndt, Berghmans, Dochy & Bulckens (2013). As a matter of fact, Whitelock, Thorpe, and Galley (2015) argued that dropout It can occur when students are unable to devote the necessary time to their course work. Despite these claims, however, student workload is still a neglected issue in research literature as well as in practice among teachers. (Chambers, 2006). Thus, this mixed-methods study aims to examine the impact of student workload on the learning experiences of Senior High School students of Baliuag University. A total of 537 grade 11 (incoming grade 12) and grade 12 students (incoming freshmen) were selected as respondents of the study. Data were gathered using interview, focus group discussion, and survey method. The findings of this study will benefit the senior high school students, principals and administrators by proposing a senior high school schedule with a balanced mix of curricular and co-curricular activities that will develop senior high school students holistically and improve their learning and capacity to handle multiple activities inside and outside of the classroom.

Importance Of Quantitative Research For STEM Students

Read why quantitative research matters to Filipino students.

• Helps us understand problems more clearly by revealing trends, patterns, and connections in the data
• Provides an accurate picture by removing personal biases and opinions
• Allows quantitative comparison of results if studies use the same methods
• Enables testing hypotheses and theories through experiments that can prove/disprove predictions
• Allows replication and verification as other researchers can redo experiments and study methods
• Numbers give a more precise, factual understanding compared to qualitative data.
• Removes subjectivity through quantitative data rather than opinions
• A key part of the scientific process is that data helps confirm or reject proposed explanations.
• Overall, collecting and analyzing quantitative data is crucial for gaining insights, testing ideas, ensuring consistency, and reducing bias

4. Verify Information

Politely verify information collected from interviews before publication. Follow up to ensure accurate representation and context.

5. Share Results

Report back to participants and communities on research findings and next steps. This shows respect and accountability for their contributions.

6. Acknowledge Limitations

Openly acknowledge the limitations of perspective and methods as an outside researcher. Remain humble and keep improving approaches.

Keep in mind, when entering a new community to conduct research, taking an open, patient, and collaborative approach leads to more ethical and meaningful results. Thus, making the effort to understand and work within cultural norms demonstrates respect.

STEM students in the Philippines have many possible research topics using numbers. They could look at renewable energy, sustainability, pollution, environment, disease prevention, farming improvements, preparing for natural disasters, building projects, transportation, and technology access. 

By carefully analyzing statistics and creating mathematical models, young Filipino researchers can provide key ideas to guide future policies and programs. Quantitative research allows real observations and suggestions based on evidence to make the country better now and later. 

Number-based methods help young researchers in the Philippines give tangible recommendations to improve their communities.

How can I limit my choices and pick the right research topic?

Think about what you enjoy and what you’re skilled at. Consider if your topic is meaningful and if you have the resources to study it. Get advice from teachers or friends to help you decide.
