Impact of Time Management in the Academic Performance of the Performing Arts Senior High School Students at the Bestlink College of the Philippines

Abstract

Time management is a process of planning and exercising conscious control of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency, or productivity. It has a big impact on every student and individual. One of the problems that every performer encounters is beingabsent in class due to the same date of performance and study. The researchers used descriptive research design and the survey questionnaire was administered to fifty (50) respondents chosen purposively. The survey assessed the impact of time management in the academic performance of the performing arts senior high school student. A questionnaire was constructed to determine how time management in academic performance affects the students. Many respondents agreed that there are impacts of time management in their academic performance. Students stated that being unable to pass the tasks on time was the most important factor that affects them in terms of projects/assignments while in extra-curricular activities, students emphasized that being tired after rehearsal/training made them lazy to finish their projects/assignments, and, lastly, they cited that being not able to answer some questions on the exam because of lack of concentration was one of the factors affecting them in terms of examinations. The researchers gave the following conclusions and recommendations: know how you spend your time; analyze where most of your time is consumed; identify your most time-consuming tasks; determine whether you are investing your time in the most important academic activities to help you to determine a course action; set priorities. Managing your time effectively requires a distinction between what is important and what is urgent. While activities are both urgent, better choose the most important task whether if it is on project/assignments extracurricular, or examinations. Use a planning tool to improve your productivity. Examples of personal planning tools include electronic planners, pocket diaries, calendars, computer programs, wall charts, index cards, and notebooks for writing down.
