Relationship Between Time Management and Academic Performance as Perceived By Senior High School Students

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Time management is essential in the improvement of academic performance of the students. As such, there is a necessity of determining how the performance of the students is affected by various factors in relation to time management. Emphasizing time elements helps develop cost-effective educational policies by the authorities especially with the higher education levels. This study aimed to determine the relationship of time management with the academic performance of the selected senior high school students of Makiling Integrated School.

METHODS

The data was statistically interpreted employing descriptive method. A total of 50 selected senior high school students served as respondents in this study. This utilized a survey questionnaire that manifested the relationship between time management and the academic performance as perceived by the student-respondents. In correlating the relationship of the time management with the academic performance, the student's grades were collated. Pearson r was used to determine the correlation of the two variables. Likert scale and weighted mean were also used.

RESULTS

The study revealed that in terms of procrastination and prioritization, there is a negligible correlation between time management and academic performance. It has a small relation in terms of prioritization and procrastination. The data also revealed that socialization has low correlation with time management; still, maintaining good relationship with classmates, teachers, and tutor should be exercised.

DISCUSSIONS

The result showed that the students still need to take into consideration the importance and value of prioritizing to ensure accomplishment of task and the improvement of their academic performance. Efforts should still be considered to lessen, if not eliminate, the case of procrastination because it delays the accomplishment of tasks and responsibilities of both students and teachers. Training and seminars related to time management can be done. Since prioritization and procrastination, among all the variables, have an impact in academic performance of students, teachers are encouraged to integrate the importance and application of time management to improve students' academic performance.
