interpretation. The lowest mean is the indicator Studying Habits garnered 3.326 which
have an equivalent of moderate.
Among the three (3) indicators of the Impact of Lifestyle Transition from Grade 12,
Classes got the highest mean. It indicates that the students of Asian International School
of Aeronautics and Technology believe that the number of class students per room should
be enough to let the students be more comfortable. Classroom environments are very
necessary for college students and for lecturers. Everything from the color of the walls to
the arrangement of the desks sends impressions to students and may have an effect on
the method a student learns. The emotional atmosphere additionally can have an effect
on the educational atmosphere and the way well a student receives instruction (Natividad,
Inojales, Manching, Maala, & Robles, 2018).

interpretation of high. The lowest mean is the indicator Self-Responsibility garnered 3.74
which have an equivalent interpretation of high.
Between the three indicators of the Impact of Lifestyle Transition to College,
Classes got the highest mean. It simply implies that the students can be comfortable
depending on how they stand on it. Classroom environments are very necessary for
college students and for lecturers. Everything from the colour of the walls to the
arrangement of the desks sends impressions to students and may have an effect on the
method a student learns. The emotional atmosphere additionally can have an effect on
the educational atmosphere and the way well a student receives instruction (Natividad,

On Self-Responsibility, which got the lowest mean though they have the
same equivalent interpretation of high on Classes. It indicates that the students have their
own ability to understand the lessons of the teachers. Most lecturers enable students to
circle round shops within the schoolroom. the educational is a lot of necessary than
teaching a lesson in responsibility and readiness. It's rather like a student forgetting a
pencil and an instructor simply giving them one—the logic is that the educational is most
vital which the lesson regarding being accountable will return at all over again.

students. It explains that the students have more self-responsibility during the Junior
College period, whereas there would be a changes in terms of number of students per
classroom as they begin to enter the College life. Studying habits also increase during
College years since they need to gain more knowledge, better prepared in all
circumstances due to heavy loads of subjects.
Significant Difference in the Impact of Lifestyle Transition from Grade 12 to College

If t Critical two-tail (2.144786688) is higher than t Stat (-2.879504983), it means
that the null hypothesis is accepted, that there is no significant difference between the
Impact of Lifestyle Transition from Grade 12 to College of the students. This means that
among the indicators, there is no significant difference in terms of the Impact of Lifestyle
Transition from Grade 12 to College when analyzed in terms of programs and sections.
When the students transfered from Grade 12 to College, their self-responsibility
will not be affected and therefore will improve their skills. This is shown in the figures
under self-responsibility, classes and studying habits. In the Impact of Lifestyle Transition,
the students are not affected in the Impact of Lifestyle Transition from Grade 12 to
College.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
This chapter presents the conclusion and recommendations based from
the findings of the study.
Conclusion
The findings of the study led to the following conclusions:
1. The level of the Impact of Lifestyle Transition from Grade 12 of AISAT
students has an average mean of 3.69.
2. The level of the Impact of Lifestyle Transition from College of AISAT
students has an average mean of 3.86.
3. There is a significant relationship between the Impact of Lifestyle
Transition from Grade 12 to College of AISAT students.
4. Since the T critical has a larger value of 2.144786688 and the T stat has
a smaller value of -2.879504983, the result shows that there is no
significant difference between the Impact of Lifestyle Transition from
Grade 12 to College of AISAT Students.
Recommendations
In light on the specific findings and conclusions of the study, the following
recommendations are suggested.
For AISAT administrator that they will continue to implement programs in support
for the activities of all student-leaders in order for them to function at their best for the
benefit of all students.
For the AISAT Faculty that they will continue to be the mentors to all studentleaders by providing them all the guidance and wisdom on the attributes of a good leader
and that they will always become role models to the leaders.
For the Student-leaders that they will stop to be good leaders not only for the
students but also as good examples in the community, that they will continue to guide the
students.
For the Future Researchers that they will expand the respondents to their future
study for better appreciation of good results. Qualitative researches may be considered
also as other research design for their future endeavors.

Review of Related Literature
Transferring to alternative faculty or dynamic the grade level at the identical
faculty is nearly the identical due to the modification not simply the surroundings
however additionally the standards of the educational matters. Some students might
endure some changes for them to be settled to a specific place that was unknown
from them. This chapter presents the literature and alternative studies associated
with the impact of recent faculty surroundings towards the scholars from JC2 to
school of Asian International faculty of physics and technology. The literature study
were reviewed and confirm what aspects if this study were coated in previous
studies.
Student’s Adaptation. during this journey of life, we have a tendency to
cannot deny the actual fact that every one amongst United States are {going to
be|are} going to expertise these circumstances wherever you have got to adopt new
setting to suit in. similar to being a student wherever in each grade level, you have
got to accelerate to higher stage and change into higher level of education.
Pushcner, F., (2010) states that transition have an impression in life. It may be a
protracted term method within which it will involve United States from our family,
academic setting, social setting, and particularly the kids themselves. Transition
involves adjusting to a replacement setting and academic setting largely for
transferees. This main goal is to balance the tutorial and cope up to a replacement
institution.
Transitioning from one college to a different isn't simple. It will provides a
Brobdingnagian impact to those students UN agency can transfer. It will result in
stress, lower of shallowness, anxiety and different negative emotions and thoughts
which will have an effect on those new students in their educational performance.
what is more, transitioning has additional negative effects those positive effects
among the scholars UN agency transferred colleges (Hughes, et al., 2016).
The students along with their oldsters appeared that transition could also be
the answer to their downside, however they didn’t notice that it should conjointly
causes an entire vary of problems. sadly, it triggers new problems that would have
a positive or negative impact reckoning on what the new faculty brings to the
scholars and contrariwise. However, Blakeman offers no specific example of
handling the strain of the scholars however consulting a counselor. Titus, D.N.
(2007).
Changing colleges are often a painful social and emotional expertise for
college kids, say researchers from the Kingmaker school of medicine within the U.K.
and also the bequest of that struggle could also be psychosis-like symptoms of
hallucinations and delusions. Dr.Swaran Singh, a medical specialist and head of the
mental state division at the Kingmaker, became interested in the association
between faculty move and mental state problems when a study from Denmark found
that kids moving from rural to urban settings showed hyperbolic signs of psychoses.
The authors conjointly noted that the scholars had to house not simply a amendment
in their home setting, however in their social network friends at college still.
Singh was intrigued by whether school changes, and the social isolation that
comes with it, might be an independent factor in contributing to the psychosis-like
symptoms. Working with a database of nearly 14,000 children born between 1991
and 1992 and followed until they were 13 years old, Singh and his colleagues
investigated which factors seemed to have the strongest effect on mental health.
The children’s mothers answered question about how many times the students had
moved schools by age nine, and the children responded to queries about their
experiences either bullying others, or being victim of bullying. The survey even
included a look at the children’s in utero environments, and their circumstances from
birth to age 2, by asking the mothers about where the live (In urban or village areas,
for example), and about financial difficulties or other family social issues.
Based on their analysis, switching schools three or more times in early
childhood seemed to be linked to an up to two-fold greater risk of developing
psychosis-like symptoms such as hallucinations and interrupting thoughts. “Even
when we controlled for all things that school moves lead to, there was something
left behind that that was independently affecting children’s mental health,”
Factors such as a difficult home environment-whether caused by financial or
social tension, or both-living in an urban environment, and bullying contributed to
the mental health issues, but switching schools contributed independently to the
psychosis-like symptoms. Singh suspects that repeatedly being an outsider by
having to re-integrate into new schools may lead to feelings of exclusion and low
self-esteem. That may change a developing child’s sense of self and prime him to
always feel like an outlier and never an integrated part of a social network; such
repeated experiences of exclusion are known to contribute a secondary way in
which repeated school moves could lead to mental health issues-bullying is known
to be associated with psychotic symptoms, and mobile students are more vulnerable
to bullying.
The negative emotional experiences students bear in making an attempt to
regulate to new colleges will be physiological consequences also. recurrent
experiences of being defeated in social things ends up in changes within the brain
and within the dopaminergic system. that produces the brain additional sensitive to
worry, and stress, with its surges of corticosteroid, will cause unhealthy neural
responses that may contribute to psychological state issues. “Something concerning
chronic social process and chronic exclusion, is neuroscience damaging,”
Student activities. in keeping with the Department of treasury tax revenue
Service (2013) active participation is characterised by: (1) higher cognitive process
involving the operation or management of associate degree activity, and (2) activity
services for the activity.
Cuseo (2010) states that active participation (1) is that the foundation of
school success wherever different college-success ways are established; (2) allows
success to maximized as students have to move participants within the learning
process; and (3) has (2) key parts basic to that, (a) the time dedicated to method|the
method} of learning and (b) degree of non-public mental and physical effort exerted
within the process of learning.
The scientist himself has ascertained that active participation within the
university life isn't restricted to the realms of educational units like Biology,
arithmetic, and History to call some. Moreover, active participation is additionally
manifested in extra-curricular activities like clubs, varsity groups, and organizations.
In associate interview with Briones (2015) he states that, “An active participant is
somebody UN agency finds times, devotes, and commits to extra-curricular
activities. “He any adds that, involvement with extra-curricular activities has
schooled him to be committed, involve, responsible, accountable, and have a vision
to each inspire and empower folks. apart from that he had conjointly discovered
skills like speaking publically, event, organization and management, and team
building facilitation. Namuco (2015) contradicts that active participation exist not
solely in being physically gift however conjointly by living the ideals associated
support of an extra-curricular organization. Moreover, she points out that inactive
participation is unhealthy as a result of an individual is preventative their selves from
doing one thing they're hooked in to. additionally, during this current generation
there's a necessity for a lot of doers instead of those watching for one thing to require
place (Namuco, 2015).
Peer Relationship. Peer influence on tutorial outcomes step by step becomes
a lot of dominant. Harris (1998, 2002) and Rowe (1994) maintained that peer teams
have an excellent stronger influence than that of oldsters, though different
researchers (Berk, 2005) have refuted that extreme position. Doing half in peer
teams could be a key stage of development and creation of adolescent identity
(Santor, 200). several see their peers as role models. These models are often a
supply of motivation or lack thence. There are 2 styles of models, the positive and
negative: Positive models, see people WHO have achieved outstanding success
and are wide expected to enhance others to pursue excellence and similar negative
patterns that refers to people WHO have intimate with disaster and is wide expected
to encourage individuals to require steps necessary to avoid similar unpleasant
result (Lockwood dheKunda, 2002). Also, we will say that it's the pressure of their
peers which might lead teens to unhealthy and unsafe behaviors and in their tutorial
achievements. Peer pressure is also outlined because the insistence and
encouragement of the identical people people to form or force the individual to try
and do one thing (Santor, Messervey&amp;Kusumakar, 2000). Pressure coevals is
related to wrong selections, rebellion and fluctuations, which is able to result in a
poor tutorial performance, due to the very fact that adolescents don't seem to be
cooperative within the method of learning outcomes and as a result their college
results fall frail. (Sharry, 2004). Contrary to standard belief, not all peer influence is
negative. defrayal longer with peers doesn't continually translate into bother
(Lingren, 1995). Positive peer influence on tutorial performance depends on
adolescent self-identity, vanity and independence. The coevals could be a supply of
affectionateness, sympathy understanding, and an area for experimentation. it's
continually doable for folks to speak with college counselors and professionals to
stay facilitate with the matter. Allen, Porter, McFarland, Marsh and McElhaney
(2005) report that adolescents WHO were well-linked by several peers displayed
higher levels of ego development and secure attachment furthermore as higher
interactions with their best friends. it absolutely was found that associating with
friends WHO have positive have an effect on toward college increased students own
satisfaction with college, whereas associating with friends WHO have a negative
have an effect on toward college minimized it (Ryan, 2000). Less actuated or
disengaged students, on the opposite hand, “are passive, don't strive arduous, and
provides up simply within the face of challenges” (Skinner &amp; Belmont, 1991).
From a social competence perspective it's seemingly that students WHO have issue
establishing themselves during a coevals can also have tutorial difficulties at school
(Wentzel, 1991). whereas the variations are a lot of discovered between
adolescents that are neglected and people WHO are rejected. Wentzel and Asher
(1995) notice that socially neglected early adolescents could fare higher than
average in terms of educational accomplishment. Experiencing peer rejection will
manufacture heightened anxiety (e.g. worry over being excited or left out) that
interferes with concentration within the schoolroom and impedes children’s
acquisition and retention of knowledge (Nansel, Overpeck, Pilla, Ruan, SimsonsMorton, &amp;Scheidt, 2001; Sharp, 1995). This finding emphasizes the importance
of that parts are most significant in touching the tutorial arrivals. However, the
proportion of teenagers’ friends with tutorial orientation itself isn't prognostic of
educational accomplishment (Fuligni, 2001). this could be Associate in Nursing
proof of lack of peer influence tutorial accomplishment, or a desire to analyze
different aspects of friendly relationship on the far side the similarity in tutorial
success (Fulgini, 2001).

grade school student teachers‟ environmental information, to search out out their
attitudes concerning environmental issues and to work out whether or not their
attitudes vary considerably betting on some variables. As knowledge assortment
tools, the environmental angle Inventory and also the Environmental information
check, custom-made by Uzun and Sağlam(2006), were used. the info were collected
within the 2007–2008 school year. 5 hundred 42 student lecturers from Cukurova

Environmental information check. As for gender, the purposeful variations were
found in favor of the feminine students within the Environmental Behaviour subscale and in favor of the male students within the Environmental Opinion sub-scale.
As for taking the surroundings Course or not, the variations among scores were
found to be purposeful in favour of the scholar lecturers WHO took this course at

teachers’ attitudes and their gender, educational major, grade level, nation and
socioeconomic standing (level of family financial gain, their parents’ education level
and occupation, residence) was evaluated with associate degree instrument
developed by the investigator.The present descriptive study was dispensed at the
University of Adıyaman in Turkey, college of Education on 830 Subjects. A 30-item
Likert-type form containing four dimensions (awareness of environmental issues-
AEI, awareness of individual responsibility-AIR, general attitudes towards
environmental problems-GAEP and general attitudes towards environmental
solutions-GAES) was developed to live student teachers’ environmental attitudes by
the investigator. Results of T-test associate degreed ANOVA showed that the

4, pp. 263-276 This study focuses on the pre-service teachers' reflection on
associate environmental information form administered in associate introductory
environmental education course. Reflection sheets that self-addressed pre-/postcourse information questionnaires were collected from seventy five students World
Health Organization took the course in 3 consecutive years. the scholars portrayed
numerous ethnic and skilled background, that is typical in teacher coaching
programs in Israel. The students' initial environmental information was poor however
enlarged considerably when the course. Their reflections self-addressed their
information acquisition, furthermore as their growing awareness. They mirrored
upon the thirty-nine form of teaching strategies and particularly on the net dialogue
forum and on the sphere journeys, claiming that these strategies contributed an
excellent deal to their learning. However, fewer statements self-addressed
behavioural changes with relation to the setting. In spite of the advance within the
students' awareness and information, it's instructed that additional environmental
education is needed to continue the transformation method.
McDill, E., 1989, Levin, H., 1986) B.A Chansarkar and A. Mishaeloudis
(2001), explained the results old, qualification distance from learning place etc. on
student performance. The performance of scholars on the module isn't suffering
from such factors as age, sex and place of residence however is related to
qualification in quantitative subjects. it's conjointly found that those that live close to
the university perform higher than alternative students. Yvonne Beaumont Walters,
kola soyibo,(1998) more detailed that student performance is extremely a lot of
obsessed with staphylococcal enterotoxin (socio economic back ground)as per their
statement, “High college students’ level of performance is with statistically vital
variations, joined to their gender, grade level, college location, college kind, student
kind and socio-economic background (SEB).” Kirby, Winston et al. (2002) centered
on student’s impatience (his time-discount behavior) that influences his own tutorial
performance. poet revealed that weak students do higher once classified with
alternative weak students. (As silent by Zajonc’s analysis of older siblings (1976) it
shows that students’ performance improves if they're with the scholars of their own
kind. There are usually totally different results by gender, as in Hoxby’s K-12 results
(2000); Sacerdote (2001) finds that grades are higher once students have
remarkably academically robust roommates. The results of Zimmerman (1999,
2001) were somewhat contradictory to poet results however once more it proven
that students performance depends on variety of various factors, it says that weak
peers may scale back the grades of middling or robust students. (Alexander, Gur et
al. 1974; Fraser, Beamn et al. 1977) explained that a number of the practices
adopted by faculty administration in educational activity like residential schools or
organized study teams conjointly facilitate to will increase performance. Keeping in
sight all of the variables mentioned by totally different researchers we've got chosen
solely those variables that are recognizable in Pakistani setting.
JC to College transition
Transferring to alternative college or ever-changing the grade level at the
identical college is sort of the identical due to the amendment not simply the
atmosphere however additionally the standards of the educational matters. Some
students could bear some changes for them to be settled to a particular place that
was unknown from them.
This studies associated with the impact of latest college atmosphere
towards the scholars from JC2 to varsity of Asian International college of physics
and technology. because the study relates however a student go with some form
of atmosphere to sustain its want.
Self-responsibility
Most lecturers enable students to circle round shops within the schoolroom.
the educational is a lot of necessary than teaching a lesson in responsibility and
readiness. It's rather like a student forgetting a pencil and an instructor simply giving
them one—the logic is that the educational is most vital which the lesson regarding
being accountable will return at all over again.
The struggle for a few lecturers is that the responsibility half ne'er looks to
boost. the identical students are invariably unprepared, and while not a
consequence—logical or otherwise—it will become frustrating to change students
during this method. One answer to assist support lecturers and students is to
expressly teach and track personal responsibility.
But however can we push students to become well-versed whereas at the
identical present developmentally acceptable in our expectations? we do not wish
to push students too way and expect an excessive amount of, however we have a
tendency to additionally don't desire to baby or change them. one amongst the
challenges we discover is that there will be completely different parent expectations
once it involves personal responsibility. due to this, we have a tendency to should

Transition to College: Separation and Change for Parents and Studentsby Jess P.
Shatkin, MD, MPH Going to school is quite simply "going back to highschool." The
departure could be a important milestone within the lifetime of a family and ushers
in an exceedingly time of separation and transition, requiring associate degree
adjustment on the a part of folks, the college-bound juvenile and therefore the whole
family.
College and careers
Students are apt to search out their folks were right once advising them to
induce a school degree or a minimum of get further education when highschool. In
fact, those with a school degree can earn $500,000 additional over a period of time
than their non-degree peers, and even technical jobs would require advanced
learning of some kind. however school is not the finish of learning, and students do
not essentially should have just one set career goal in mind. It's fine to use school
as the way to explore areas of interest whereas keeping in mind that the typical
employee holds ten.8 completely different jobs between the ages of eighteen and
forty two.
Adjusting to college life
The stress levels of school students are on a continuing rise. A 2009 survey
of forty willy-nilly chosen four-year faculties and universities found that eighty five of
the two,240 undergraduates interviewed expertise stress on a day to day (up from
eightieth in 2008).3 The inflated range of scholars feeling stressed has been in the
course of a rise in utilization of mental state and counselling services; one
establishment reportable a twenty nine increase within the use of counselling and
psychological services within the last four years and another reportable that fortieth
of the freshman students visit their counselling center.
The impact of the student's move to college on parents
Moving on to varsity represents a major step towards adulthood. whether or
not the coed lives reception or goes away to attend faculty, the move represents
associate degree emotional separation for each folks and kid. For most, (finish the
top the tip) of highschool marks the symbolic end of childhood. This part of life,
particularly once the coed moves from home, is commonly remarked as "the empty
nest." several folks speak sky-high concerning the changes - they feel less forced,
have a lot of free time and not endure loud music or competition for the phone, pc
or automotive. however a way of loss is clear in comments like, "It's thus quiet
around here" or, "I cannot believe what proportion less I pay on groceries."
The Transition from High School to College
Academically, the improve from highschool to varsity isn’t as steep as
previous transitions could are. Unless a student takes on a strangely serious course
load, the stress aren’t markedly totally different from before.
What is totally different, and what will trip up first students, is that the
atmosphere during which learning and finding out happen. school affords tykes level
of autonomy they’ve ne'er skilled before. And if they’re attending a university off from
home, they don’t have mommy and pop standing picket outside their chamber door
to organize them back within to check for tomorrow’s midterm examination. Most
students have the self-discipline to create the adjustment while not an excessive
amount of problem, however others get sweptback up within the social whirl of
school life.
“We see it here at the University of North Carolina,” says Dr. William Lord
Coleman, Associate in Nursing professor of medical specialty at UNC’s college of
medication in town. “Kids degenerate or drop out as a result of they can’t get
organized enough to dump the beer-keg party on a Sunday afternoon and head to
the library like they’re purported to.”
Colleges, recognizing the potential perils of kids living on their own for the
primary time, typically insist that new undergrads pay their initial year or 2 living
within the residential halls. A 1998 study from the Harvard college of Public Health
painted a worrisome portrait of substance abuse among U.S. school students. xlii
% were found to enjoys binge drinking, that is outlined as intense 5 drinks in one
sitting for men, and 4 drinks for ladies.
By far, the best rate of excessive drinking was among fraternity and society
members: a staggering eighty four %. The second highest rate, 54 percent, was
among college athletes. Third highest were students living in coed dorms: fifty two
%. curiously, the speed of binge drinking among students living in off-campus
housing or in single-sex dorms was less than the average: forty % and thirty eight
%, severally.
You might wish to think about steering Associate in Nursing susceptible small
fry off from colleges with reputations for serious partying. Believe it or not, each year
the Princeton Review ranks the highest 10 party faculties within the u. s., supported
surveys distributed to many thousands of scholars.
Monitoring College Students From A Distance
Short of in secret seizing residence in AN adjacent bedchamber, what will
folks do to stay tabs on a son or female offspring living far from home? Dr. Coleman
recommends “the old wisdoms: decision often, encourage visits home whenever
attainable and visit your tiddler a lot of oft than simply on Parents’ Day. Also, if you
can, get to understand the fogeys of the friend or suite mates. If necessary, you'll
do a bit networking along behind the scenes.”
If you think that your tiddler has issue adapting to varsity (homesickness, for
instance, is common among students living far from home for the primary time),
encourage him to talk to a counselor at the scholar health service. If you’re actually
troubled regarding his welfare, create the decision yourself and raise one in all the
mental-health professionals there to pay a visit to your tiddler or invite him all the
way down to speak.

Perceptions of Student Learning. This paper provides theoretical background and
methodology for a spotlight cluster study of influences on first-time Latino junior
college students. the primary chapter identifies the necessity for analysis on Latino
students, citing high attrition rates and that specialize in 3 crucial dynamics: creating
the transition to varsity, creating connections on field through student involvement,
and influences on students' perceptions of their wit. The second chapter provides a
review of analysis on freshman and Latino students, providing a theoretical
perspective for the main target cluster study. The literature reviewed during this
section indicates the following: (1) despite the ninetieth growth of Latino student
enrollment between 1980 and 1991, faculties don't seem to be holding these
students; (2) student-related factors influencing attrition embody poorness, state,
class origins, inadequate educational preparation, weak study habits, self-doubt,
low shallowness, and cultural separation; (3) Latino faculty students face problems
with dynamical identity, breaking cultural ties and family codes of loyalty and unity;
and (4) student perceptions regarding wit are influenced by previous educational
accomplishment and past interactions with college and peers, each in- and out-ofclass. the ultimate chapter reviews the methodology of a qualitative, focus cluster
study of the attitudes and experiences of seventeen first-time Latino students at a
Calif. junior college and thirteen at a Lone-Star State junior college. This chapter
conjointly argues for the employment of qualitative analysis to not draw applied
mathematics conclusions, however to uncover insights from student voices. Focus
cluster queries are appended. (Contains one zero five references.) (KP)
