Impact of Extracurricular Activities on Academic Achievements
of Senior High School Students
INTRODUCTION
It is said that extracurricular activities are an important role of a student’s life as a learner. Getting
involved in activities outside of school can help these students meet new people with whom they share
interests and improve their social skills as a result. Students yearn for extracurricular activities for different
purposes; they want to achieve academic excellence and to fill obscure spaces for improvement, or join
such activities to witness exposure. Extracurricular activities also help students to expand their network,
which is beneficial for finding career opportunities after graduation.
However, engaging in extracurricular activities may also have disadvantages that affect a
student’s performance within the school. These activities play an important role in enhancing their talents
but also come along with certain shortcomings: Time management and commitments; Conscious or
unconscious denial of priorities; Interest, likes and capability matter; Too many schedules in short time; Extra
expenses in the schedule. Tiredness and frustration. Theses disadvantages may cause substantial effects on
the performance of a student.

students in terms of:
What is the extent of performance of the senior high
students that participated in extracurricular activities?

high students
Is there a significant difference in the academic
performance of students involved in extracurricular
activities?

HYPOTHESES
Based on the objectives formulated, the following hypotheses will be advanced.
Is there a significant difference in the academic performance
of students involved in extracurricular activities?
Is there significant relationship between the extent of
participating in extracurricular activities and the level of
academic performance of students?
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK:
Our study suggests three major theoretical frameworks to
explain the impact of ECA participation on students’
academic performance.
Zero-Sum Framework
Developmental Framework
Threshold Framework
The Zero-Sum framework
theorized that ECA
participation has a negative
effect on academic
performance because
students were devoting more
time for their ECA activities at
the expense of their
academic studies
The dominant theoretical
framework in the general
education literature is the
Developmental framework,
which theorized that ECA
participation has a positive
effect on academic
performance indirectly as a
result of the non-academic
and social benefits
associated with ECA
participation.
An emerging theoretical
framework in the extant
literature is the Threshold
framework, which theorized
that ECA participation has a
positive effect on academic
performance up till a certain
point beyond which
participation leads to
negative academic
outcomes.
CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
The main focus of the study is to
determine the effects of the
engaging of Senior High School
Students from Himamaylan National
High
School
in
Extracurricular
Activities on their performance within
the school.
This study will find out the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of
age, sex, socio-economic, and strand. It will also determine the Senior High
School Students’ level of performance labeled as unsatisfactory, very good,
good, satisfactory, and unsatisfactory. Moreover, it will determine the extent
effects of engaging in extracurricular activities of Senior High School Students
on their performance within the school when grouped according to their
respective demographic profiles.

will
collaborate to formulate questions
to seek credible answers. Each
member must show cooperation
thus leading to completion of the
questionnaires. The researchers will
send a letter to the principal’s
office requesting permission to
allow the researchers to select
varied respondents from different
sections, mainly the senior high
students.
The researchers will finalize the
questionnaires and will proceed
to data gathering. The
researchers will gather students
involved in extracurricular
activities as the study seeks to
find its impact towards
academic performance.
Simultaneously, the
researchers will provide a
survey for each respondent.
As the survey finishes, it is up
to the researchers to
determine the level of impact
of extracurricular activities on
the academic performances
of the senior high school
students.
STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA
The independent variable
was participation in
extracurricular activities. The
dependent variable was
grade point average.
It was the intent of this study to determine if a difference existed between grade
point average and those who participated in extra-curricular activity and those
who did not participate. Therefore specific criteria were established to differentiate
between participation and nonparticipation.
The statistical analysis and data
management system SPSS was used
to analyze the data. Student I.D.
number, grade point average, and
involvement (yes or no) in
extracurricular activities was
entered.
A frequency distribution was
obtained for grade point average. A
t-test statistical analysis was
conducted to test the null
hypothesis.
