Abstract

This study indicates the different reasons and causes why students become unproductive. It also contains some tips about what you have to do when you encounter these students. Some of us know that the causes of being unproductive are absenteeism, tardiness, low self-esteem, and the like. This can lead to poor performance in school. Unproductive and unengaged students tend to have low confidence that causes them not to involve themselves in the learning process. They choose to become passive learners rather than active. The researchers used the descriptive method. It describes data and characteristics about the population or phenomenon being studied. Survey questionnaires were given to the selected 50 ABM students of Bestlink College of the Philippines. In terms of laziness with a weighted mean of 3.31, the respondents agreed that being lazy is one of the factors that cause unengaged students. In the second variable, the respondents also agreed with a WM of 3.31 that bullying can make the students unproductive. When it comes to financial stability, with a WM of 3.07 the respondents agreed that family problems can be a great factor to make students unproductive. Students that are being bullied by their classmates or schoolmates because of their difference in culture and intellect are the main reasons why they are unproductive and unengaged. Laziness can affect students' academic performance and productiveness. Family problems and financial stability can have a big impact on their performance because they are always frustrated. This is why some of the students bring their problems at home in the classroom. The teachers, as front-line communicators, are crucial and complex. Teachers need to set expectations, build rapport, establish trust and routines to make the students feel comfortable and to help them participate and learn from their mistakes.
