Abstract

Most of our young people nowadays are struggling because of being a working student. A working student is now recognized as an established fact rather than as an observable phenomenon and it has been one of the major problems among institutions. This study reveals the overall difficulties faced by working students. The quantitative method of research utilized a questionnaire-checklist to gather information on the difficulties encountered by the Grade 12 HUMSS students. This study was concerned with the difficulties encountered by the Grade 12 HUMSS SHS working students in terms of time management, study habits, and family relationship. As to time management, the student-respondents agree that working while studying affects the way they manage their time. This was revealed by the average composite mean of 3.38. As to study habits, they also agree that working while studying affects the way they do their homework and projects, review, and copy lectures. This was shown by the average composite weighted mean of 3.41. As to the family relationship, they also agree that working while studying was a major hindrance to their relationship with their family. They have no quality time with other members of the family. This was revealed by the average composite weighted mean of 3.45. This study is also concerned with how these difficulties affect the academic performances of SHS HUMSS working students specifically on the written exam, performance test, and major exam. As for the written exam, respondents agree that their work affects their grades on the written exam that sometimes they even miss them. As for the performance test, respondents agree that they cannot perform well on their activities and sometimes they are late due to their tiresome work. And as for the major exam, the respondents sometimes cannot answer the exam and sometimes they even miss it. This study also proposed the recommendations given by the respondents as for time management, study habits, and family relationship. For time management, the most frequent given recommendation is "to use your time properly". As for the study habits, the most frequent recommendation given is "to do your assignments and review in your free time". As for the family relationship, the most frequent recommendation is "to make sure you eat all together in dinner".Working while studying negatively affects time management, study habits and the family relationship of the students. Performance tests, written and major exams are defined low due to the difficulties encountered by the working students.
