Abstract

Absenteeism commonly occurs in the students and most of the students commit absenteeism. Others commit fewer absences and others are not. Usually, this may affect the whole academic performance of the students because of a lack of knowledge about the lessons, and having a hard time to progress in their study. This study aims to identify the effects of absenteeism in the academic performance of grade 12 ABM students. The purpose of this study is to help those students to somehow avoid or at least lessen the chances to commit absences in their class; this is to improve their academic performances. A qualitative method was used in the study. Using descriptive research design it assessed four academic variables that identified as affected by absenteeism these are: Student’s Attendance, Quizzes, Homework, and Project data were gathered by distributing questionnaires to the target respondents. The results of the study revealed that the effect of absenteeism affects the academic performance of grade 12 ABM students in terms of (1) Attendance –Absenteeism result to bad records in the attendance, affecting the number of output they submitted with their subject teachers (2) Quizzes –Absenteeism result in lack of notes about the lesson discuss affecting the students preparation in reviewing before the exam, resulting in low scores in quizzes (3) Homework –Absenteeism delayed the capability of the student to submit quality homework on time (4) Projects –Absenteeism leads to unfinished projects because have a lack of knowledge on how to do it during project discussion. The results of the study revealed the need to address the students’ absenteeism since it negatively affects the students’ academic performance. Parents must be informed by the teachers about the academic standing of the students, including the absences committed by the students. Proper guidance and counseling must also be given to them for them to be encouraged to attend class regularly and participate actively in the class; this will surely help the students to reach academic success.
