THE IMPACT OF TIME MANAGEMENT ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF GRADE 12 HOME ECONOMICS AT IMMACULADA CONCEPCION COLLEGE

Abstract

This study examines the impact of time management on the academic performance of Grade 12 Home Economics students at Immaculada Concepcion College. It aims to assess how effective time management practices influence students’ academic success and overall performance. This study employed a descriptive-correlational research design and utilized simple random sampling to ensure an unbiased selection of participants. Quantitative research was conducted to identify trends, calculate averages, evaluate relationships, and derive insights through systematic data collection and analysis.

Descriptive research was used to examine group characteristics and trends, while Slovin’s formula was applied to determine an appropriate sample size for a large population. Data analysis involved frequency counts and percentages, commonly used in social sciences to interpret findings and support informed decision-making.

A Likert scale was utilized to measure respondents' attitudes and opinions, providing a structured approach to gathering data. The weighted mean was employed to calculate averages with assigned varying weights to reflect data significance. Additionally, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used to assess relationships between variables, aggregating and analyzing the characteristics of the data sets. The overall weighted mean in the first domain was 3.33. The analysis revealed a p-value of 0.041 and 0.007, indicating a moderately low positive correlation between time management and academic performance. Based on these findings, the null hypothesis was rejected, suggesting that time management has a significant impact on students' academic performance. These results highlight the impact of sleep duration on academic performance, particularly its correlation with students' general weighted average.
