Abstract

Working students mainly work and are also studying (part-time). During the pandemic, they were forced to synchronize their study and work simultaneously to provide for their finances. This study aimed to know the level of Synchronization of Study Work in the New Normal towards Academic Performance to selected HUMSS Grade 12 students in Bestlink College of the Philippines. 

This study used descriptive methods as the research design. The instruments used in this study are a survey and a questionnaire to gather data. Researchers also searched for related literature and studies. Purposive quota sampling was also used to select the respondents of this study. Based on the responses, students struggle with management, lack of sleep, intellectual performance and social behaviour. The duties and responsibilities of a working student have various positive and negative effects when it comes to their academic studies, behavioural status, and how they pursue their goals and dreams in life by inspiring others as well as those whose parents are low income. Working students help their family finances and school fees. They experience the work field that can help them in their future work. Students need to manage their time, organize and prioritize their studies, eat nutritious food, and rest. The researchers concluded the possible reasons that lead students to work. Students choose to work to help with family expenses and provide for their own needs rather than focus on their studies.
