Students’ Time Management and their Academic Performance
INTRODUCTION
Time management is the coordination of tasks and activities to maximize the
effectiveness of an individual's efforts (Lutkevich, 2023). Time management is
the process of planning and organizing your time in a way that allows you to be
more productive, accomplish more, and reduce stress (Kolesnikova, 2023).
Managing academics, projects, assignments, and exam preparation for the term
can be a stressful task for many young learners. Students who are unable to
divide their time equally among the various subjects often resort to last-minute
cramming, which not only leads to poor grades but also hampers their learning
ability. By recognizing the value of time and utilizing it effectively to focus on their
goals, students can achieve more with less effort (Panigrahi, 2019).
Academic performance is the measurement of student achievement across
various academic subjects. Teachers and education officials typically measure
achievement using classroom performance, graduation rates, and results from
standardized tests (Ballotpedia, 2022). This study will take place in Lucan Central
Colleges Incorporation. The Senior High School students at Lucan Central
Colleges will be the participants of this study. The problem is that this study tends
to work out students’ time management in their academic performance.
BACKGROUND
Shazia & Muhammad (2015) stated, time management is very important and
may actually affect individual’s overall performance. Their study found out that
time management is highly related to the academic performance of the university
students. There was a significant and positive relation between time planning,
time management and academic performance of the students
Based on the finding of Olusegun (2019) students experienced poor time
management and poor academic performance. This implies that proper
management of time enhances academic performance while the reverse is the
case. Subramanian (2016), Time Management correlates with Academic
Achievement of the students. Therefore, it is important to improve Time
Management which will increase Academic Achievement.
OBJECTIVES
1. To determine the level of time management.
2. To determine the level of academic performance.
3. To find if there is any significant relationship between time management and
academic performance of the students.
METHODOLOGY
This study will use a quantitative research study focused on students' time
management and academic performance; a correlational research method would
be employed. Researchers would gather data through surveys or questionnaires,
quantifying variables such as time spent on studying, organization methods,
class attendance, and overall academic performance of Lucan Central Colleges,
Inc. students. The study would then analyze the correlation between time
management behaviors and academic achievement, aiming to identify any
significant relationships or patterns. This approach helps to ascertain how
effective time management practices impact academic success among students,
providing valuable insights for educators and learners alike.
