Abstract

Dealing with the habitual absences is a tendency of being away from school without a good reason. The act of the students is called "chronic absenteeism”. According to the point of view, performance is an action by which an individual fulfill the task that assigned to them. Although, there are many factors which affects on students’ performance either related to personal life or educational setting. The effects of habitual absences on student performance is more prone to discuss some of these are; poor class participation, poor coordination among students, and lack of confidence to cooperate. Habitual absences lead the students to missed class activities, quizzes and worst case is to drop out of school. The researchers designed a survey questionnaire as a data collection instrument for the study to measure the variables in the research questions. It is an instrument wherein the respondents provide their own answers to the questions and a method in research where data about people, place, and things are collected. Descriptive survey method was used because it is an effective way to get a participant. Survey questionnaires were given to the selected 50 ABM students of BCP. The most common reason why BCP ABM Students tend to absent was because of the financial problem even if the education in BCP is free the students also need an allowances to support the transportation, food and other expenses. When the students are absent they will miss the activity during that day. Lastly, there is no correlation between the course of the ABM students and their absenteeism. Likewise, there is no correlation between the grade level of students and their absenteeism. The strand and grade level of an ABM student are also measured. In general, the researchers were confident that the problems correspondingly answered with the accuracy and reliability it can utmost achieve; however, there are still aspects in the research study that will improve the research and yield more accurate and strong data and conclusions. The researchers have the following recommendations; the sample respondents were relatively small compared to the whole population of BCP. Stronger data and conclusions can be derived if a larger sample will be studied and the margin of error will be at minimum. The effects of the subject, teacher and untimely works were related only to the whole sample of respondents, correlations and findings can arise.
