ABSTRACT Since then, people are acquainted with problems on arriving to their destination earlier or exactly on time. With so, being tardy is a concern that troubles many in preventing them to do much in their given amount of time because of arriving late to their appointments. This study purposes to determine the relationship of Santiago City National High School’s Junior High School students’ tardiness and their academic performance for it is still evident that a big crowd of students builds up before the school gate. The researchers approached the class advisers of the class respondents to ask for the names of those to be surveyed, together with their second grading general average. After so, the regularly late students were surveyed then, the data was analysed. As a result, the researchers gained that there is a significant relationship between students’ tardiness and their academic performance that their general average lowers.

In which, being tardy is a concern that is common to all levels of schooling. Even during the earliest stages of people’s lives, punctuality has already become something that is observed and expected from children in order to maintain discipline and evoke a pleasant personal characteristic and image. Moreover, according to Bilocura & Guia, 2012, “a tardy student poses as a threat to the school as an educational and professional institution and the student may be one of the less productive members of the society.” With so, tardiness has a tendency to become a proclivity for most students if left unchecked and can further exacerbate into affecting the behavioral patterns of students like their academic performances for instance and which may also likely affect their future lives. It’s frequent and evidently seen that a number of Santiago City National High School students are regularly late at arriving to school every day. It has even been inferred that “always and often times, students are tardy in the flag ceremony, in attending classes after recess time in the morning and afternoon class sessions, and during the first period in the afternoon class session” (Paren, 2015) which can greatly be supported by observed occurrences in the school. Because of so, this may have effect to the productivity of the students regarding their academic performances. Referring to the studies conducted by the U.S. Department of Education on truancy, it has, as well, been shown that, when it comes to student behavior and school success, school attendance and tardiness are major factors. Likewise, it has been determined that students who are habitually tardy to school are more pertinent to have attendance and tardiness problems when entering the workforce as indicated by the Urban Institute. As supported by Weade, 2004, “students who were punctual at school were also punctual at work while students who were tardy at school were also tardy at work.” To determine the relationship of SCNHS Junior High School students’ tardiness and their academic performance. It is on this premise that the study was conducted. Statement of the Problem Generally, the study aims to define the effects of SCNHS’ Junior High School students’ tardiness to their academic outputs in class. Specifically, the study sought to answer the following questions: 1. What is the profile of the respondents with respect to the following: a) Sex b) Age c) Grade Level d) Curriculum e) Curriculum Rank in Class f) Locality 2. What are the common activities done by the Junior High School students of Santiago City National High School at home for being regularly late to come to school? 3. What is the academic performance of the students/respondents with respect to their general average for the second grading period? 4. Is there a significant difference on the common activities why students are regularly late when grouped according to the profile variables? 5. Is there a significant relationship between the academic performance and tardiness of the regularly late students? Hypotheses of the Study The following null hypotheses were drawn from the given problems: Ho1: There is no significant difference on the common activities why students are regularly late when grouped according to the profile variables. Ho2: There is no significant relationship between the academic performance and tardiness of the regularly late students. Significance of the Study Generally, the study entitled "The Difference and Relationship of Santiago City National High School’s Junior High School Students’ Tardiness and their Academic Performance" investigates on the effects of students’ tardiness toward their academic achievements in class. This study can help and is essential to the following people: Students This study will let the students know how tardiness affects their academic performance. This will also enable them to know things that they should be aware of with having problems regarding tardiness for them to contemplate on needed concerns. Parents Regularly late students’ parents will identify what to do and how to discipline their children for this paperwork will help them recognize if there is present relationship of tardiness and the academic performance of their children. Teachers With this thesis proper, teachers will distinguish by what means to discipline their students and what to do to those coming to class late so frequently. This will aid them to acquire information what to fix for regularly late students to cope up with the effects of tardiness unto their academic performances. School faculty and staff School staffs will spot what to do when students come to school late most often with the help of this study. It will help them identify necessary programs that they should implement to avoid problems regarding the matter. Future researchers It can serve as a springboard for future researchers that will give them an overview on the relationship of students’ tardiness and their academic performance broadening their understanding on such topic. It will also serve as a framework for widening the scope of related studies they will be conducting. Scope and Delimitation The scope of the study is within the area of the school’s premises at Santiago City National High School, Main Campus, Division of Santiago City, Region II, in which the researchers will only conduct their study starting from January to March 2017. The researchers will focus on the topic of the study which is the relationship of the tardiness and academic performance of all regularly late students on all grade levels from the first ten sections of only the Junior High School students of SCNHS Main Campus. Students will be classified late on Convocations when they reach school at 7:00 a.m. and yonder. Whereas, on regular days at class, those arriving 7:30 a.m. and beyond will be identified as late. The researchers will relate the effects of tardiness of regularly late SCNHS students toward their academic achievements in class as of the second grading period.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES The following information shows certain details and ideas concerning the relationship of students’ tardiness and their academic outputs. It displays similar studies made which are also considered in making the thesis proper. Foreign Literature and Studies There are studies abroad that were considered for the production of the thesis proper. It shows numerous variables relating to students’ tardiness and their academic achievements which are significant to the study. Multiple tests and factors were also gained that may be helpful for the enhancement of the paperwork. The results of the study presented by Taylor (2014) indicated that there was a moderate inverse relationship between the occurrences of tardiness and the score results on the state math test. Therefore, tardiness is a factor in student success, as proposed by the upshots of the analyses, and should be given greater consideration as an area that can be addressed by administrators to stimulate better student achievement. To investigate how tardiness, when compared with other independent variables such as age, excused absences, unexcused absences, semester 1 exam grade, semester 1 grade, semester 2 exam grade, and semester 2 grade, contributed to the academic success of a student, conducted was a descriptive discriminant analysis as measured by the state math test. 25% of the variance in the results - pass or fail - of the state math test was allocated to tardiness alone. Thus, the review noticeably depicted an inverse relationship among the occurrences of tardiness and the results on the state math test; that is, as the occurrences of tardiness increased, the passing rate of the state math test decreased (Taylor, 2014). Furthermore, the study conducted by Bataineh (2014) reported that at least 24 papers and reports reviewed were there regarding lateness behavior. According to the definitions of lateness and various factors related with students’ lateness behavior and dealing strategies, the papers and reports were analyzed and organized. Finally, it was derived from the conclusion that one of the most challenging aspects of being a professor is dealing with disruptive behavior in the classroom. It was also stated that tardies and absenteeism have an impact on the learning environment and the climate of the entire school as to the study of Quarles (2011) wherein seventeen hypotheses were examined in the study. And, of the seventeen research hypotheses surveyed, half were significant at the p<0.05 level of significant. Hence, the results of the study showed that there was significant negative correlation between the number of tardies in English and Algebra test scores. Additionally, the study conducted by Jones (2006) has relevance with the rise in responsibility for school districts in Virginia surrounding the Standards of Learning (SOL) test and the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation of 2001 wherein educators are faced with a significant challenge to lessen the rate of absenteeism to upturn students’ achievement in school. Moreover, the study investigated the impact of student attendance, socioeconomic status and mobility on student achievement of third grade students in two Title I schools in a Southeastern Virginia School District, with grades PK-3, as determined by the Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) English and Math tests scores. Also, a study done by Weade (2004) showed that working students are significantly different than their fellow students. Working students are more punctual at school classes, have fewer unexcused school absences, and have higher Grade Point Averages (GPA). It was strongly supported that the hypothesis that working students will exhibit the same tardiness pattern at work as well as at school. That is, students who were punctual at school were also punctual at work while students who were tardy at school were also tardy at work. Local Literature and Studies Studies made inside the country were also considered for the paperwork. The researchers consulted its results for the improvement of the thesis proper. Affecting variables were likewise reflected. Having to do things at night such as accomplishing assignments, opening social media sites, and others were shown to be the main reasons of students to be late to their classes (Maningas & Sudaria, 2016). Furthermore, among the respondents surveyed in the study, 61.29% of them were coming late in class and 54.84% do not sleep early at night, with a number of students opening social media sites before going to school, they become tardy in arriving to school. Additionally, based from a study concerning Grade 7 students, most of the respondents sleep late at night resulting to waking up late also in the morning that leads them to become tardy when going to school. Traffic is even the sole reason of the respondents why they often come late. So, an improvement on the traffic that may decrease students’ tardiness was recommended. Moreover, when a fine was imposed, which increased 5 pesos a day, there was a significant change on the number of students being late wherein the number of late students decreased: the greater the fine, the lesser students come late (Ortiz & Villamin, 2016). Most often, students are tardy in the flag ceremony, in attending classes after recess time in the morning, afternoon class sessions and during the first period in the afternoon class session. During students’ transfer of room in their specialization subjects and other undertakings that require outdoor activities, there are also observed instances that they are behind schedule in attending to it (Paren, 2015). It has also been said that one factor that dictates the quality of performance of a student is his punctuality - either getting to school on time or being tardy. The problem of tardiness among UP college students, according to the study of Austria, Bulaso, Kani, Magdaraog, & Mutuc (2015) had accumulated from tolerable to habitual state. Hence, this may have a significant impact on their performances. Referring to their study, of the 200 sample students, 128 students or 64% come to class late. And, only the remaining 36% do are said to be punctual. As well, 47% of the 200 students said that their teachers are also tardy. So, it can be inferred that the performance of teachers somehow affect students’ punctuality behavior. In addition, 68% believe that their teacher’s performance may influence students to arrive to school on time. According to the theory of Behaviorism, any human act or behavior can be clarified without having to study internal and mental processes and consciousness. All human behavior, too, is caused by external stimuli. Likewise, the problem concerning punctuality of students can be drawn and addressed through certain factors (Austria, Bulaso, Kani, Magdaraog, & Mutuc, 2015). CHAPTER III METHODOLOGY This chapter comprises the vital information for the progress of the study. It shows the research design used, the respondents considered for the gathering of data, how the information was collected step by step, the research instruments utilized, together with corresponding statistical tools to answer the problems of the study, and interpretations of data for the identification of statistics. Research Design The research study conducted by the researchers of Grade X - Galileo Galilei from Santiago City National High School is a descriptive study that attempts to describe, explain, and interpret the academic impacts of tardiness at present as perceived by the Junior High School – Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9, and Grade 10 - students of Santiago City National High School S.Y. 2016-2017. However, it does not answer questions about how, when, why the characteristics occurred, which is done in another type of research study. The research study has a correlational research design due to its nature, it has considered more than one problem which are aforementioned in Chapter 1, it used data to measure what will be measured which will be used to find the coefficient of correlation between the variables, academic performance and tardiness, to know if there is a significant relationship and significant difference with one another. The researchers used Stratified Random Sampling. In this sampling technique, samples among the subgroups in a population which was composed of the Santiago City National High School’s Junior High School students were chosen. From each of these sections, the sample size was drawn proportionately. It also explains what are academic performance and tardiness. The data will be gathered by the researchers through surveying the respondents and need to be analyzed so different statistical tests were used: including t-test, f-test, and many more; therefore, the research study is a quantitative research. It is used to quantify several factors and variables of the research study and generalize results from a larger sample population. And, the data is then transformed into useable statistics by making the tally sheet and other computations; as a result, numerical data is gathered. This study is cross-sectional research; it is a type of observational study that involves the analysis of data collected from a population, or a representative subset, at one specific point in time — cross-sectional data. It allows the researchers to look at numerous things at once just like the age, and the gender of the respondents. The research conducted is designed to look at a variable at a particular point in time. Respondents of the Study To identify reliable respondents for the proceed of the study, the researchers will be asking directly from each class adviser of Santiago City National High School’s Junior High School students the names of those who are regularly late at arriving to class. Students will be classified as late when they arrive 7:00 a.m. on Convocations and beyond while when in regular days, they are named late when they come 7:30 a.m. and past that time. Stratified Random Sampling will be used wherein in this sampling technique, random samples will be chosen in a population which will be composed of Santiago City National High School’s Junior High School students among the first ten sections on all Junior High School students. Furthermore, proportionate sample size will be from each of these sections. Data Gathering Procedure Data to be processed will be simply gathered by first, the researchers will approach the class advisers of Santiago City National High School’s Junior High School students to ask the list of names of those who are regularly late in their class. The respondents’ second grading period general average will also be requested from their class advisers for the assessment of the relationship to the reasons affecting the tardiness of the students thereafter. Following, the researchers will be passing questionnaires for the respondents to fill up. Research Instruments To gather needed information for the study, the researchers will use the questionnaire method by handing out question forms for the respondents to fill up. Questionnaires - This is a data collection instrument usually used in normative surveys. This is a systematically prepared form or document with a set of questions deliberately designed to elicit responses from respondents or research informants for the purpose of collecting data or information. Specifically, structured questionnaires/ closed-form questionnaires will be used. This type of questionnaire is easier to answer, process and analyze. They are mostly 'yes' or 'no' answers, without provision for the respondent giving his explanation. Statistical Tools The data that will be gathered in the test will be tabulated and analyzed using the following statistical tools: 1. Standard Deviation – is a measure that is used to quantify the amount of variation or dispersion of a set of data values. 2 Where: S = standard deviation = arithmetic mean of the data N = the number of values in the sample = summation This type of statistical tool specifically targets to answer Question Nos. 1, 2 and 3 which states: 1. What is the profile of the respondents with respect to the following: a.) Sex b.) Age c.) Grade Level d.) Curriculum e.) Curriculum Rank in Class f.) Locality 2. What are the common activities being done by the Junior High School students of Santiago City National High School at home for being regularly late to come to school? 3. What is the academic performance of the students/respondents with respect to their general average for the second grading period? 2. T test – is a statistical examination of two population means. t= Where: t = t test = the means of the two groups = population standard deviation = the standard deviation of the two groups This statistical tool will be used to answer Question Nos. 1, 2 and 3 which tells: 1. What is the profile of the respondents with respect to the following: a.) Sex b.) Age c.) Grade Level d.) Curriculum e.) Curriculum Rank in Class f.) Locality 2. What are the common activities being done by the Junior High School students of Santiago City National High School at home for being regularly late to come to school? 3. What is the academic performance of the students/respondents with respect to their general average for the second grading period? 3. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) – also known as the F-test, is any statistical test in which the test statistic has an F-distribution under the null hypothesis. Where: = between treatment variance = within treatment variance The Analysis of Variance, also known as ANOVA, will be utilized to respond to Question No. 4 which states: 4. Is there a significant difference on the common activities why students are regularly late when grouped according to the profile variables? 4. Pearson r – a statistic measuring the linear relationship between two variables in a sample and used as an estimate of the correlation in the whole population. r= Where: r = Pearson r n = the sample size x = independent variable y = dependent variable = summation Pearson r will be relevant for the researchers to answer Question No. 5 which dictates: 5. Is there a significant relationship between the academic performance and tardiness of the regularly late students? 5. Statistical Packages for Social Sciences – a software package used for statistical analysis. Long produced by SPSS Inc., it was acquired by IBM in 2009. The current versions (2014) are officially named IBM SPSS Statistics. Companion products in the same family are used for survey authoring and deployment (IBM SPSS Data Collection), data mining (IBM SPSS Modeller), text analytics, and collaboration and deployment (batch and automated scoring services). The Statistical Packages for Social Sciences, commonly known as SPSS, will be applicable to answer all problems of the study - Question Nos. 1 to 5 - which articulates: 1. What is the profile of the respondents with respect to the following: a.) Sex b.) Age c.) Grade Level d.) Curriculum e.) Curriculum Rank in Class f.) Locality 2. What are the common activities being done by the Junior High School students of Santiago City National High School at home for being regularly late to come to school? 3. What is the academic performance of the students/respondents with respect to their general average for the second grading period? 4. Is there a significant difference on the common activities why students are regularly late when grouped according to the profile variables? 5. Is there a significant relationship between the academic performance and tardiness of the regularly late students? Interpretations used in the Study The information to be gathered from the handed questionnaires will typically be denoted as ‘yes’ or ‘no’ since the respondents will only have to mark which among the listed reasons why they are regularly late in class is applicable to their case. After which, these will be studied by the researchers which later on will be used for the processing of data. This division displays the tables of interpretations utilized in the assessment of the gathered results for those of verbally interpreted data with the use of numerical designations to denote their specified verbal analyses. And, as for those quantified representations used, they are employed as is for the analyses of results. Table 3.1 Numerical Designations for the Respondents with Respect to Sex Sex Male Female Numerical Designations 1 2 In the table, it is presented that the numerical designation for the respondents with respect to their sex is for the males as “1” and for the females as “2.” Table 3.2 Numerical Designations for the Respondents with Respect to Curriculum Rank Curriculum Rank With high honors With honors Without honors Numerical Designations 1 2 3 With the use of this table, the respondents’ curriculum rank is designated as “1” for those with high honors, “2” for those with honors, and “3” for those without honors. Table 3.3 Numerical Designations for the Respondents with Respect to Curriculum Curriculum Special Science Curriculum Special Program in the Arts K-12 Basic Education Curriculum Numerical Designations 1 2 3 As displayed in the table, the respondents have been identified as “1” when in the Special Science Curriculum, “2” when in the Special Program in the Arts, and “3” when in the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum with respect to curriculum. Table 3.4 Numerical Designations for the Respondents with Respect to Locality Locality Centro proper Near Centro Far from Centro Numerical Designations 1 2 3 As for the respondents to be differentiated with respect to their locality, those living in the centro proper is denoted as “1,” those living near centro are denoted as “2,” and those living far from centro are denoted as “3.” Table 3.5 Numerical Designations for the Respondents’ Academic Performance Academic Performance Outstanding (90 and above) Very satisfactory (85 to 89) Satisfactory (80 to 84) Fairly satisfactory (75 to 79) Did not meet expectations (74 and below) Numerical Designations 1 2 3 4 5 The respondents, with the use of the table, are assigned with “1” having a general average of 90 and above as outstanding, “2” when 85 to 89 as very satisfactory, “3” when 80 to 84 as satisfactory, “4” when 75 to 79 as fairly satisfactory, and “5” when the respondents have a general average of 74 and below not meeting the expectations. CHAPTER IV PRESENTATION, DISCUSSION AND INTERPRETATIONS OF DATA This chapter comprises tables presenting the data which were later described and interpreted with its corresponding explanations below. The tables displayed in this chapter of the thesis proper answers the statement of the problems in order as they are enlisted which were presented in Chapter I of this paperwork exhibiting the findings that were gathered and calculated. Table 4.1.1 Frequency and Percent Distribution of the Respondents with Respect to Age Age 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 Total Frequency 4 48 57 56 73 37 5 280 Percent 1.4 17.1 20.4 20.0 26.1 13.2 1.8 100 The table above shows the frequency and percent distribution of the respondents with respect to their age. The table shows that out of 280 respondents, 73 of which are 15 years old which has the greatest number of respondents having 26.1% of the total percentage. Next are 13 years old, 14 years old, 12 years old, 16 years old, 17 years old, and 11 years old having, 57%, 56%, 48%, 37%, 5%, and 4%, respectively. Therefore, the least number of respondents with respect to their age are the oldest and the youngest students from Junior High School. Table 4.1.2 Frequency and Percent Distribution of the Respondents with Respect to Sex Sex Male Female Total Frequency 133 147 280 Percent 47.5 52.5 100 It can be seen from the table that most of the respondents are females, having a frequency of 147 or 52.5% of the entire respondents. The remaining 133 are males, accounting for 47.5% of the totality of the respondents. As seen on the table, most of the respondents with respect to their age are female having more than half of the total number of respondents. Table 4.1.3 Frequency and Percent Distribution of the Respondents with Respect to Grade Level Grade Level 7 8 9 10 Total Frequency 90 41 84 65 280 Percent 32.1 14.6 30.0 23.2 100 The table above shows that most of the respondents belong to the 7th grade having a frequency of 90 or 32.1% of the entire respondents. 84 of which belong to the 9 th grade, 65 belong to the 10th grade, and 41 belong to the 8th grade, accounting 30.0%, 23.2%, and 14.6% of the entire percentage of the respondents, respectively. In the data gathered, most of the respondents came from grade 7 while the least number came from grade 8. Table 4.1.4 Frequency and Percent Distribution of the Respondents with Respect to Curriculum Rank Curriculum Rank With high honors With honors Without honors Total Frequency 2 56 222 280 Percent 0.7 20.0 79.3 100 The table shows the frequency and percent distribution of the respondents with respect to their curriculum rank. It can be seen from the table that 222 of the entire number of respondents do not have honors accounting 79.3% of the total respondents. 56 of which have honors with a percentage of 20 and 2 of which are with high honors with 0.7% of the entire respondents. Table 4.1.5 Frequency and Percent Distribution of the Respondents with Respect to Curriculum Curriculum Special Science Curriculum Special Program in the Arts K-12 Basic Education Curriculum Total Frequency 52 25 203 Percent 18.6 8.9 72.5 280 100 The table shows the frequency and percent distribution of the respondents when grouped according to curriculum. Most of the respondents belong to the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum with a frequency of 203 and a percentage of 72.5. 52 of the respondents belong to the Special Science Curriculum with a percentage of 18.6. The least number of respondents came from the Special Program in the Arts with a frequency of 25 and a percentage of 8.9. Table 4.1.6 Frequency and Percent Distribution of the Respondents with Respect to Locality Locality Centro proper Near Centro Far from Centro Total Frequency 70 101 109 280 Percent 25.0 36.1 38.9 100 Table 4.1.6 shows that 109 of the total number of respondents live far from centro with a percentage of 38.9. 101 of which live near centro having 36.1% and 70 live in centro proper accounting 25% of the entire number of respondents. It can be inferred that one of the main reasons of students coming late in classes is that their house is far from centro. Table 4.2 Descriptive Summary of the Reasons that Affect the Tardiness of the Respondents Reasons Doing chores Does not like the first period subject Does not like the first subject teacher Distance of home to school Lack of sleep Lazy to go Moves slowly Mode of transportation Oversleeping Preparation time Playing computer games Part-time workers Rushing requirements Surfing the net at night/before going to school Traffic Watching movies and TV Frequency 28 10 Percent 10 3.6 Mean .1000 .0357 SD .30054 .18591 Rank 13 14 8 2.9 .0286 .16690 15 87 121 57 118 67 126 112 43 8 58 74 31.1 43.2 20.4 42.1 23.9 45.0 40.0 15.4 2.9 20.7 26.4 .3107 .4321 .2036 .4214 .2393 .4500 .4000 .1536 .0286 .2071 .2643 .46361 .49626 .40337 .49467 .42741 .49838 .49078 .36118 .16690 .40598 .44174 6 2 11 3 8 1 4 12 15 10 7 100 62 35.7 22.1 .3571 .2214 .48002 .41595 5 9 This table presents what activities or reasons the respondents frequently do that gets him regularly late at arriving to school. The activity that has the highest percentage is oversleeping with 45% while the lowest is part-time working and not liking the first subject teacher with 2.9%. Therefore, oversleeping can be identified as the most common and the rising reason of the respondents why they come to school regularly late. Table 4.3 Frequency and Percent Distribution of the Respondents with Respect to their Academic Performance Academic Performance Outstanding (90 and above) Very satisfactory (85 to 89) Satisfactory (80 to 84) Fairly satisfactory (75 to 79) Did not meet expectations (74 and below) Total Frequency 58 59 56 61 46 Percent 20.7 21.1 20.0 21.8 16.4 280 100 This table displays the academic performances of the regularly tardy students. The second grading general averages that have the highest percentage of the students are 75 to 79 while the grades with the lowest percentage of students are 74 and below. It can be inferred that most of the students barely passed the second grading and being tardy affected their academic performance.

With the presented values, it can be clearly inferred that there is a significant difference on the common activities of the respondents affecting their tardiness at arriving to school when grouped according to their age by studying the obtained p-value which is lower than 0.05. The result revealed that the relationship is significant when classified as to their age. The table shows that those aged from 11 years old to 17 years old have different reasons when compared to each other that is, reasons that were considered by 11 to 17 years old respondents are different from which one have selected compared to others.

With the presented p – values, only three are significant or those that which produced decisions to reject the null hypothesis and these comparisons are 12 vs 14, 12 vs 15, and 12 vs 16. The rest of the p – values yielded the decision of accepting the null hypothesis or having no significant difference.

Apparently, there were no significant differences as for the decisions as seen in the p – values. Therefore, males may just have the same activities or reasons that make them regularly late as to females do.

Since both groups, between groups and within groups, will yield the same F - value and P – value, their decisions are both significant or reject the null hypothesis. Furthermore, with such product, it can be inferred that there is a significant difference among the common activities affecting the tardiness of the respondents with respect to their grade level.

It can be seen that three comparisons, 7 vs 8, 7 vs 9, and 7 vs 10 produced significant differences or in other terms, rejected the null hypothesis. The remaining half of the comparisons, 8 vs 9, 8 vs 10, and 9 vs 10, produced no significant differences which also means accepting the null hypothesis. With so, grade 7 students have different activities or reasons that make them regularly late at arriving to school when compared to grade 8 students. The same is true with the grade 7 students when compared to grades 9 and 10 students.

Since both groups, between groups and within groups, yielded the same F – Value and P – Value, it can be concluded that the decision of both groups are significant, in other terms, rejects the null hypothesis. Moreover, it just means that there is a significant difference on the common activities or reasons of the respondents that affect their tardiness at arriving to school when grouped according to their curriculum.

Most of the decisions were with no significant difference. Those with no significant differences were the comparison of “Special Science Curriculum vs Special Program in the Arts” and “Special Program in the Arts vs K-12 Basic Education Curriculum.” The single comparison which had a significant difference when compared to one another was the “Special Science Curriculum vs K-12 Basic Education Curriculum” which gives the idea that those reasons considered by the Special Science Curriculum students that keep them from being regularly late are different when compared to those considered by the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum students, or the other way around.

With both groups, between groups and within groups, having the same F-Value and P-Value, both of them have a significant difference or resulted to the decision of rejecting the null hypothesis. Thus, there is a significant difference on the common activities of the respondents as their reason for being regularly late when grouped according to their locality.

Most of the decisions obtained lead to having no significant difference, which are the “Centro Proper vs. Near Centro” and “Near Centro vs Far from Centro” comparisons. The single comparison which resulted to a decision of having a significant difference is the “Centro Proper vs Far from Centro.” By studying the data, it can therefore be established that those coming from the centro proper have different activities that make them regularly late at arriving to school when compared to those identified by the respondents from far from centro, or vice versa.

By using the gathered data, the decisions mostly lead to rejecting the null hypothesis, or in other terms there is a significant relationship between the common activities or reasons that affect the tardiness of the respondents and their academic performance. On the other hand, only two reasons resulted in accepting the null hypothesis wherein there is no significant relationship between them and the respondents’ academic performance – that is, doing chores and watching movies and TV. Based from the obtained results, nearly all the presented common activities affecting the tardiness of the respondents exhibited a significant relationship and only two among them did not. Meaning, these reasons acquire a significant relationship in which the common activities making the students regularly late therefore, affect their academic performance. CHAPTER V SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS This chapter of the thesis proper entitled “The Relationship of Santiago City National High School’s Junior High School Students’ Tardiness and their Academic Performance” displays the summary of findings according to the gathered results, conclusion based from the outputs and recommendations for the identified groups of people. Summary of Findings This division presents the summary gathered from the profile variables of the respondents, their academic performances, top three common reasons why they get regularly late when coming to school, bottom thee common reasons why they get regularly late when arriving to school, and the significant relationship between the academic performance and tardiness of the regularly late students. A. Profile Variables of the Respondents The researcher obtained that the majority of the students were female which the researchers have obtained a 52.5% total frequency in the test, while the male has a 47.5% total frequency. The difference on gender is not due to significant factors but only because of the sampling technique used in this study. Hence, the difference is purely coincidental. As the result of the test, the majority of students who were frequently tardy were aged 15 yrs. old and has a total frequency of 26.1% followed by students aged 13 years old has a total frequency of 20.4%. Third is students aged 14 year old has a total frequency of 20.0%. Fourth is students aged 12 yrs. old has a total frequency of 17.1%. And, lastly, students that aged 16 yrs. old has a total frequency of 13.2%. As the result of the test, the majority of the students were at the K12 Basic Education Curriculum that has outnumbered the SPA and SSC. The K-12 Basic Education Curriculum has a total frequency of 75.4%, while SPA and SSC have the frequencies of 1.1% and 23.6% respectively. As the result of the test, most of our respondents are from Grade 7 and Grade 9 that has a total frequency of 32.3% and 30%, while the least number of our respondents is from Grade 8 to Grade 10 that have approximately a total frequency of 14.6% and 23.2%. Out of 280 students, most of our respondents are without honors which have a total frequency of 79.3%, while the other 20% and 0.7% belong to those with honors and with high honors, respectively. The researchers obtained that the majority of the respondents were far from Centro and has a total frequency of 38.9% of the respondents followed by the respondents that live near Centro and has a total frequency of 36.1%. The other 25.0% were those that live under the Centro proper. B. Academic Performances The general average of most of the respondents in the second grading period is 75 to 79 with a percentage of 21.8 which falls under the category of Fairly Satisfactory while the general average being least for the respondents is 74 and below, with a percentage of 16.4, which means that they did not meet expectations. C. Top Three Common Reasons Based from the descriptive summary of the reasons that affect the tardiness of the respondents, oversleeping with the mean of .4500, lack of sleeping with the mean of .4321 and moving slowly with the mean of .4214 ranks as the first, second and third, respectively, among all the named activities that contribute an effect to the tardiness of the students when arriving to school. D. Bottom Three Common Reasons According to the collected outcomes, disliking the first subject teacher and being part-time workers both having the same mean of .0286 and disliking the first period subject with the mean of .0357, being displayed in the table of the descriptive summary of the reasons that affect the tardiness of the respondents, positions the bottom three spots among the enumerated common explanations on why students get regularly late which were identified by the respondents to be the least reasons that make them reach the school habitually tardy. E. There is a significant relationship between the academic performance and tardiness of the regularly late students. As shown in the table of the correlation matrix between the activities that affect the tardiness of the respondents to their academic performance, generally, the results show that there is a significant relationship between the academic performance and tardiness of the regularly late students wherein mostly lead to the decision of rejecting the null hypothesis which means that there is a significant relationship between them. It simply means to say that the tardiness of regularly late students have an impact towards their academic performance in class, their performance as a student. Conclusion Concerning the numbered problems in the study found in the thesis proper’s Chapter I, it is shown below the discerned results based from the interpreted data gathered from the respondents. 1. Profile of the Respondents with Respect to the Profile Variables The most number of respondents came from those aged 15 yrs. old with a frequency of 73 accounting for 26.1% of the totality of the sample. Whereas, the least number of respondents with respect to their age are the youngest students with 11 years of age with a frequency of 4 students making up the sample’s percentage of 1.4 from Junior High School. As for the respondents with respect to their age, females are more than half of the total number of respondents with a frequency of 147 students contributing to 52.5% of the sample population. Regarding the respondents’ grade level, most of the respondents came from grade 7 with the frequency of 90 students accounting for 32.1% of the sample while the least number came from grade 8 with the frequency of 41 students accounting for 14.6%. With respect to the respondents’ curriculum rank, those without honors had the most number of respondents with the frequency of 222 students making up 79.3% of the totality of the sample. As for the respondents with respect to their curriculum, most of the respondents belong to the K-12 Basic Education Curriculum with the frequency of 203 students and a percentage of 72.5. Furthermore, for the respondents when grouped according to their locality, 109 of the total number of respondents live far from centro with a percentage of 38.9 making the most of the respondents. 2. Common Activities done by the Students why they get Regularly Late Based from the results gathered from the data, it can be inferred that that oversleeping has the highest percentage of 45 being the top reason on why students get late regularly at arriving to school while the lowest activities are both part-time working and disliking the first subject teacher with 2.9%. 3. Academic Performance of the Respondents It can be derived from Table 4.3 Frequency and Percent Distribution of the Respondents with Respect to their Academic Performance that those with the most number of respondents having 61 students are those within the range of 75 to 79 general average classified as fairly satisfactory accounting for 21.8% of the respondents. 4. Significant Difference on the Common Activities why Students get Regularly Late when grouped according to the Profile Variables As to the test of significant difference of the common activities why students get regularly late when grouped according to the profile variables, it can be discerned that according to the results, there has been a significant difference when these common activities are grouped according to the respondents’ age, grade level, curriculum rank, curriculum, and locality. 5. Significant Relationship between the Academic Performance and Tardiness of the Regularly Late Students It has been obtained from the results of gathered data that almost all the named common activities affecting the arrival time of the respondents to school making them regularly late exhibited a significant relationship with their academic performance. This only means that tardiness has a significant relationship with one’s academic performance. Recommendations The following groups of people have been identified in the significance of the study and they are recommended with the corresponding commendations based from the results gained in the study. 1. Students Since the results show that the students’ tardiness affects their academic performance, the students should know their responsibilities. They should go to school earlier or on time for their academic performance not to be affected by their tardiness. It is also shown in the results that oversleeping, lack of sleep and moving slowly are the top three common reasons why students get regularly late from their classes. To prevent this from happening, students should know how to control or balance their time in their daily home and school activities. 2. Parents It can be inferred from the results obtained that there is a significant relationship between the Santiago City National High School’s Junior High School students’ tardiness and their academic performance. With this, it is recommended for the parents to discipline their children and to encourage them to come to school early so that this may not affect their children’s academic performance. 3. Teachers As teachers, aside from being the students’ parents, they should also teach their students to be responsible and be aware of their responsibilities. Since students always believe and obey their teachers, teachers should use their position to teach the students, not only about their lessons in class, but also appropriate things for their betterment. 4. School faculty and staff The school faculty and staff should help in encouraging the students to go to class early. To be able to do that, they should implement programs that will encourage the students to be on time. They can let the students have some activities on morning or before classes to lift the students’ spirits and be active to at least lessen their tardiness. 5. Future researchers For the future researchers to have a better range of similar studies, they could add more respondents to the research and if possible, even all of the respondents among all sections and grade levels. The study may even be enhanced if they could insert more factors and profile variables, if there are still any, and include the Senior High School students to have a wider scope for better results.
