...technically defined as a science of matter and energy which deals with the laws and properties. Knowledge in Physics helps a person to understand the environment. Many of the things we do every day involves physics, thus, it can be seen anywhere under the sun. Physics and technology are related too. Because Physics is understanding the natural world, technology applies it into the man-made world to improve human work. Physics has covered everything and contributed to the transformation of the Asian Countries. Furthermore, learning of Physics starts in school and in some cases, extra-curricular activities is one good basis to the performance of the students in Physics. Millard, Dean and Bear who were early experts on extra-curricular activities said “extra-curricular activities supplement and extend those contacts found in more formal part of the program of the school day.” Extra-curricular activities are performed inside the...

...numerical form, such as scores on a test or the number of times a person chooses to use a-certain feature of a multimedia program, or it can describe categories of information such as gender or patterns of interaction when using technology in a group situation. Descriptive research involves gathering data that describe events and then organizes, tabulates, depicts, and describes the data collection (Glass & Hopkins, 1984). The process of descriptive research goes beyond mere gathering and tabulation of the information and data. It involves interpretation of the significance of what is described. Descriptive research may also be defines as a process of gathering, analyzing, clarifying and tabulating data about prevailing conditions, cause and effect relationships and then making accurate interpretation with or without statistical methods. The descriptive function of research is heavily dependent on instrumentation for measurement and observation (Borg & Gall, 1989). Based on the following definition and processes of descriptive research, the researchers...

...CHAPTER 1 The Problem and its Background Introduction The term curriculum refers to the programme of study in various academic subjects followed by students at various levels of education. The school or college’s teaching staff are employed to teach this curriculum, and students are periodically assessed in their progress in each curriculum subject. As they grow older, students’ achievements in their curriculum subjects are seen as important in helping them get into a good university or college, and to find a good job when they leave education. The academic curriculum has never been all that schools and colleges offer to their students. Often a range of other classes, clubs and activities is available to students, sometimes in lessons but more often in the lunch break or after school. These are referred to as the co-curriculum, or as extra-curricular activities, and they are mostly voluntary for students. Examples would include sports, musical activities, debate, Model United Nations, community service, religious study groups, charitable fundraising, Young Enterprise projects, military cadet activities, drama, science clubs, and hobbies such as gardening, crafts, cookery and dance. Because they are not examined in the same way that the academic curriculum is, and because most of them take place outside lessons, such activities have less status in education than the main curriculum. However, they are often held to be very important to the wider education of young men and women...

They wereknown as used in different forms under different educational settings.The history reveals that the term was called Extra-curricular Activities before four-five decades. It includedathletics, music, oratorical competitions, clubs for students, debating, dramatics, honour awards, special day celebrations etc. These activities were organized mostly by the students themselves. “Co curricular activities were mainly organized after school hours and so were the extra curricular but they are not an integral part of the activities of the school as its curricular work”- according to Aggarwal...

...CHAPTER I Background of the Study Academic performance really means three things: this means the ability to study and remember facts, it also means being able to think in relation to facts and thirdly, it further means being able to communicate one’s knowledge verbally or practically (www.google.com). A marching band is a company of instrumental musicians performing outdoors for the purpose of entertainment and sometimes in competition. Instrumentations typically include brass, woodwinds and percussion instruments (en.wikipedia.com). The marching band at Partido State University was one of the competing units among the marching bands. They joined military parades, concerts, street parades and many more. It means that joining in marching bands had a lot of trainings and practices to be done. In this regards the academic performance of the band members maybe sacrifice because of double priorities. In addition, the society may have different expectations of the performance of the band members according to their own perspectives. It was observed that there are band members who had incomplete or failing grades. It all depends on how they personally addressed problems as a student and as a band members who got failing grades and incomplete grades faced a consequence of termination as a band scholar. Statemant of the Problem This study aims to determine the problems encountered by the PSU Marching Band Members that affect their academic performance. Specifically this sought...

...Cause And Effect Essay High School Drop-outs Dropping out of high school is an issue faced by many teens today. It results from a few main common causes. One is often a lack of involvement in extra-curricular activities. Another revolves around the parents not being forceful in demanding that their children commit to staying in school. A third cause is the absence of effort exerted by students to be successful in their studies. Why do teenagers lose their interest in school? When students are not successful with their studies it often starts a negative downward spiral in their commitment to school. When they feel less positive about school they generally are less interested in extra-curricular activities - sports, music, clubs. For many students, it is their success in extra-curricular activities that fuels their desire to remain in school. If students have no success in either academic or extra- curricular activities they have no incentives to go to school. Consequently, they have no attachment to their school. Too many parents are not firm enough with their children and their education. Parents fail to impress upon their children the importance of remaining in school and that dropping-out is detrimental to their future. Sometimes teens drop-out because of a lack of fear instilled into them by their parents. Many teens have little or no parental supervision. Coupled with a lack of communication skills between parents and teens, the result...

...as sacrifices for extra-curricular activities, perhaps the most popular football. One social problem in cutting arts is that it deprives future generations of current art displays, which are often statements about the time period. It is also more sociable acceptable to participate in sports over a play. Another issue is that artists will not be able to be successful in their career choice. Even with the criticism, the arts play a critical role in a student’s career; therefore, it is malpractice to cut funding to arts in order to pay for extra-curricular activities. There are many benefits the arts can provide the common mass, whether it is entertainment, or stimulating thought and conversation. But the people or students involved in the performance or creating the art piece benefit the most. According to Mrs. Henry at the USA Today, the specific benefit one receives depends on the art discipline, “Drama helps with understanding social relationships. Music improves math achievement and proficiency, reading and cognitive development. Dance improves creative thinking, originality, and flexibility. Visual arts improve content and organization of writing.” According to Mrs. Henry, studying arts positively affect the student. Arts also can create a more pleasant atmosphere in schools and communities. Arts for LA say that students “Perform community service more than four times as often, as well as be four times more likely to be involved with a youth group.” Being involved with creative...

...different status, socio-economic class, are sent to school to pursue his/her education. In the Philippine education system, extra or co-curricular activities are implemented to enhance or improve the learning of students not only on the academic field but also on the co-curricular one. Co- curricular activities include student leadership, campus journalism and campus athletics. These are considered as responsibilities that students involved must take and seriously consider. The Republic Act.no. 7079 or the campus Journalism Act of 1991 serves as the basis of Higher Education Institution in organizing such body. As provided by the provision inculcated in the law, Campus publication staffs. Shall serves and must voice out their grievances of the fellow students.

National guidelines exist which regulate what constitutes adequate nutrition to support the body, and these guidelines have been at least partially integrated into most school curriculums, as well as food and wellness policies. Although adequate nutrition is vital for the body and mind to function, it is less attainable by some students due to a variety of factors, such as...

...The Issues Surrounding “Pay-to-Play” and its Effect on Students in the United States Outline Science, Technology and Human Values Topic: Pay-to-Play I. Introduction A. About Pay-to-Play 1. “Pay-to-Play” is a policy implemented by school districts to help cover the cost of extra-curricular activities, such as sports, clubs, cheer and dance, and even some honor programs. It dates back to the 1970’s although it became more popular in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s. The fees range from $850 to play football at Oakfield High School in Massachusetts, $350 to participate in band at Fairfield High School in Michigan, to $30 per year total, no matter how many extra-curricular activities the student participates in, at Holton High School in Kansas. The fees vary by state, by school district, and there are some schools who don’t charge a fee at all. In 1984, California passed a law that no school district will charge fees for extra-curricular activities. Stealth versions of pay-to-play exist at many high schools around the country. Sometimes they are clothed as transportation fees, equipment fees or donations. Some schools blanket their fees by asking students to donate $150.00 to their booster club, such as Lakeside High School in Atlanta. Therefore, it is a considered a donation, and not a fee. (Brady) 2. There isn’t a current policy in the United States for pay-to-play in schools. It isn’t governed, nor is it required or uncommon for districts to charge some...

...success, this epidemic has become a major problem in today’s society that is not getting better due to the availability of prescription and over the counter medications, continued funding cuts for athletics and other extra-curricular activities and the increase in teenagers being left unsupervised. The availability of prescription and over the counter medications has made abuse easier among teens. Many parents do not even realize the dangers that are in their own medicine cabinets. “In 2011, 22% of 12th graders indicated misuse of a prescription drug without medical supervision in their lifetime; and 15% over the past year.” During that same time, one in 12 high school seniors reported that in the past year they had obtained the prescription pain reliever Vicodin, and one in 20 high school seniors used OxyContin for non-medical uses. And 70% of those teens surveyed had stated they obtained them from family and friends. (“Prescription” 2011). “Enough prescription painkillers were prescribed in 2010 to medicate every American adult around-the-clock for a month. Although most of these pills were prescribed for medical purposes, many ended up in the hands of people who misused or abused them.” (CDC Vital Signs, Nov. 2011) Opiate medications are not the only ones being abused. Sedatives, stimulants such as Ritalin and even cough medicine are popular among teenagers, the frequency of abuse increasing anywhere from 93% for...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY INTRODUCTION Leaderships is the capacity and will to rally men and women to a common purpose and the character which inspires confidence - Bernard Montgomery- The widespread fascination with leadership may be because it is such mysterious process, as well as one that touches everyone’s life. The term leaderships mean different things to different people. It is a word taken from the common vocabulary and incorporated into the technical vocabulary of a scientific discipline without being précised redefined. As a consequence, it carries extraneous connotations the create ambiguity of meaning (Janda, 1960). Further confusion is cause by the use of other imprecise term such as power, authority, management administration, control and supervision to describe the same phenomena. Bennis (1959, p.259) surveyed the leadership literature and concluded: Always, it seems, the concept of leaderships eludes us or turns up in another forms to taunt us again with its slipperiness and complexity. So we have invented and endless proliferation of terms to deal with it...and still the concept is not sufficient defined. Researchers usually define leaderships according to their individual perspective and the aspect of the phenomena of the most interest of them. After a comprehensive review of the leadership literature, Stogdill (1974, p.259) concluded that “there are almost as many definition of leaderships as there are persons who have attempted...

...answers in yellow pad. This is due tomorrow.” Who would not remember being dismayed upon hearing those words from the teacher? Homework has long been a way to supplement students’ learning outside the classroom. This has also kept students busy every night, staring at their computer screens studying or researching about their assigned school work. Homework, in a way, is a good way of maintaing the knowledge students gained from school, but is it really the most effective way of providing supplemental studies? Most studies have shown that homework may be more supplemental than being detrimental to a student’s learning. On one perspective, it has been proven that assigning homework is beneficial to a student’s performance in school. Evidence has been found that homework is an effective supplemental form of learning, and “can impact positively on the retention and understanding of knowledge and can improve study skills...and demonstrate that learning can take place outside of formal schooling,” (qtd. in Department of Education and the Arts 7). This shows that studying should not just be confined to the walls of the classroom, and that after-school learning is vital to reinforce what has been taught by the teacher to the students. Without this reinforcement, students might easily forget the concepts learned in the classroom. Thus, this would result to a poor evaluation performance. This is especially true to students who do not pay attention during Evaristo 2 class time. Because...

...focused, although public school can have benefits in several ways like a child’s social development. First, let us look at some of the benefits of the home school. I was given an opportunity to interview my aunt Robyn Jeffords who home schooled all 5 of her children and the information below is all accredited to her. Home schooling can be good for a child in many ways. A homeschooled child often has access to a more direct one-on-one instructional setting, allowing for a very personalized learning environment. Within this setting, the parent can tailor every lesson to the specific learning style of the student, for optimum understanding of the material. It also means that the student can move as quickly or as slowly as needed. If the material is mastered, there is nothing holding the student back from advancing quickly through the curriculum. On the other hand, if the student is struggling with a concept, the parent can provide additional time for review, assuring mastery is achieved before moving forward. For the parent who is attentive to their child’s needs, and who is also well informed of the learning styles, this is a significant...
