ABSTRACT

Summary of Findings

The study conducted used the survey approach of

research. It exploit the said approach in as much as the

main purpose of this research study was to determine the

factors affecting the compliance of school requirements

among third year(CRACK) students of Agusan National High

School.

A survey questionnaire for the students was

formulated and floated by the researchers. This instrument

was used to determine the factors affecting the compliance

of school requirements among third year students. The said

questionnaire has 31 items as indicators. The first part

iv

contains the socio-demographic profile of the respondents

which consist the age and sex of the student respondents.

The second part of the questionnaire was subdivided into

five to represent the different factors that affect the

compliance of school requirements which is attitude;7

items health;7 items, environment;6 items, time

management;5 items and resources;6 items.

There are 80 student respondents from the third

year(CRACK)sections who took the formulated and floated

questionnaire of the researchers.

Based on the findings of the researchers, as to sex,

majority of the student respondents are female which is 61

or 76% of the total respondents. Most of the student

respondents belong to the age bracket of 13-14 which is 51

or 54% of the total population of the respondents..

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

attitude, Indicator No. 1 which is I do my school

requirements diligently has the highest mean among the

indicators which is 4.6 with a verbal description of

Always. The students do their school requirements

diligently. This shows that students really work hard in

the compliance of their school requirements. They work

v

with it with all effort and this shows a positive

attitude.

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to health,

Indicator no. 6 which is Lack of sleep leads to less

concentration towards the compliance of school

requirements, got the highest mean of 3 with a verbal

description of Sometimes. The common factor which greatly

affects students’ compliance towards their requirements is

the lack of sleep which leads to less concentration. This

shows that lack of sleep has a great impact on the

performance of students in the compliance of their school

requirements.

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

environment, the indicator which got the highest mean is

Indicator no.1 that states that student live in a peaceful

place, which is suitable for making their school

requirements. Its mean is 4.4 with a verbal description of

Mostly. This shows that most of the student respondents

live in a peaceful place. A peaceful place is really

suitable for making school requirements.

vi

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to time

management, Indicator no.4, I have daily planner and

schedule tasks to be done, got the mean of 3 and a verbal

description of Sometimes which is the highest mean of all

the indicators. Having a daily planner and scheduling

tasks to be done is commonly done by the student

respondents in the research study. Most of the student

respondents in this project are well-organized and time-

managed.

As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

resources, Indicator no.1 which is the use of books as

reference in doing homework got the highest mean which is

4.1 having a verbal description of Mostly. The student

respondents in the study use books as reference for their

homeworks or school requirements. Students nowadays still

trust books for their reference despite the modernization.

Based on the over-all mean of the factors affecting

the compliance of students when grouped according to

attitude, health, environment, time management and

resources, Resources which is indicator number 5 got the

highest mean of 3.51 with a verbal description of Mostly.

vii

Resources which is one of the factors in this study

greatly affects the compliance of students towards their

school requirements. The lack and availability of

resources has a great impact on the performance of

students.

Based on the computation of the Analysis of Variance

in the study, the F- tabular value which is 2.37 is lesser

than the computed value of the study which is 139.44.

Thus, there is a significant difference on the different

factors which affects the compliance of students towards

school requirements when grouped according to attitude,

health, environment, time management and resources. These

factors greatly affect the performance of students in the

compliance of school requirements.

Conclusions

viii

In the basis of the results of the study conducted,

the following conclusions were drawn by the researchers:

1. Female student respondents are 61 or 76% of the

total population of the student respondents.

2. Majority of the student respondents’ age bracket

belongs to 13-14 years of age which is 51 or 54%

of the total respondents

3. As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

attitude, Indicator No. 1 which is I do my school

requirements diligently has the highest mean among

the indicators which is 4.6 with a verbal

description of Always.

4. As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

health, Indicator no. 6 which is Lack of sleep

leads to less concentration towards the compliance

of school requirements, got the highest mean of 3

with a verbal description of Sometimes.

5. As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

environment,the indicator which got the highest

ix

mean is Indicator no.1 that states that student

live in a peaceful place, which is suitable for

making their school requirements. Its mean is 4.4

with a verbal description of Mostly.

6. As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

time management, Indicator no.4, I have daily

planner and schedule tasks to be done, got the

mean of 3 and a verbal description of Sometimes

which is the highest mean of all the indicators.

7. As to the factors affecting the compliance of

students towards school requirements according to

resources, Indicator no.1 which is the use of

books as reference in doing homework got the

highest mean which is 4.1 having a verbal

description of Mostly.

8. Based on the over-all mean of the factors

affecting the compliance of students when grouped

according to attitude, health, environment, time

management and resources,Resources got the highest

mean of 3.51 with a verbal description of Mostly.

9. There is a significant difference on the different

factors which affects the compliance of students

towards school requirements when grouped according

to attitude, health, environment, time management

and resources.

Recommendations

Based on the findings and conclusions derived from

the study, the following recommendations are proposed by

the researchers:

1. The students should learn to balance the factors

affecting the compliance of students towards school

requirements presented by the researcher in the study

so that their performance will not be affected.

2. The school should organize a seminar regarding the

different factors that affect the performance of

students towards the compliance of their school

requirements. By this, students’ mind will be more

aware of their strengths and weaknesses. Through

this, they can strengthen their weaknesses and build

our strengths further.

xi

3. This study should be improvised by adding more

factors that affects the compliance of school

requirements. Respondents of the study should be

divided into 2 groups; the highest and the lowest

sections of the school. Through this, comparisons

between the respondents’ results can be easily drawn.
