...worldwide phenomenon in most of the rural areas. Multigrade teaching is a result of financial constraints, non-availability of teachers, scarcity of infrastructures or lack of resources. Multigrade teaching refers to the teaching of different ages, grades and abilities in the same group. It is referred to variously in the literature as ‘multilevel’, ‘multiple class’, ‘composite class’, ‘vertical group’, ‘family class’, and in the case of one-teacher schools, ‘unitary schools’(Veenman, 1995). Multigrade classes are commonly found in sparsely populated areas in rural setting or in areas with high pupil population but few teachers. Honestly speaking, it is very hard to teach pupils with combined levels and different age groups. Sometimes it is where the slow readers can be found because it is really hard to teach the pupils individually especially when the teacher has many multi grade pupils. A skill for reading is very significant that one must acquire in gaining access and understanding the printed text. It is a skill that is very important for every learner for if he/she doesn’t have this skill, the learner is automatically in trouble. But if the learner has this skill, surely he/she may become an independent learner. It is generally accepted that the ability to read is an important skill that a learner must possess for the reason that all kinds of learning activities, reading is a tool by which a learner gains success to the different fields of study(Campo, 2001.)

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Among other components of any organization, human beings are the most difficult to manage. Many authors have posited financial and material components of any organization than to manage the human component. They insinuate that it is easier to manage even animals than to manage human beings. (Nakpodia, 2006; peretomode, 1991; Peretomode, 2001; Ubogu, 2004 Emore, 2005; Ukoshi, 2004) Santillano (2010), in her study highlights the factors affecting tardiness. The result show that the tardiness cause personality traits of a person, including low self-esteem and anxiety as triggering factors of tardiness. Also tardiness is an inborn quality and other experts believed that some people are “chronically tardy” for the reason they consciously and unconsciously get good things from it. In addition parental attitude, family structure, socioeconomic status, teacher attitudes and schoolmates influence are factors affecting tardiness. Tardiness in the Philippines is getting worst since it is habitually done by most of the students even though in some professional field. In addition, some Filipinos make it very difficult to switch to Filipino time instead they make it as an expression used to say it is a cultural thing not to be on time and not to care. Moreover, many situation occur that tardiness is yet part of their lifestyle. (http:/filipinoaustralian.com.au/tardiness/) Today most of the students incur...

...The internal factors of educational underachievement refers to factors within the school that affect how pupils academically succeed, for example; interactions between pupils and teachers and inequalities between schools. Sociologists can suggest the reasons why these internal factors occur through a child's class, ethnicity and gender; such as the labelling theory, the self-fulfilling prophecy, pupils subcultures and institutional racism. Despite judging or stereotyping a person based on their class, ethnicity or gender being widely condemned in our modern society, it is clear from research that it still occurs in schools, however it is not necessarily intentional. The labelling theory suggests that teachers label pupils depending on how well they fit their idea of an 'ideal pupil'. These labels do not often reflect the pupil's actual ability or attitude, but they are based on stereotypical assumptions from a pupil's class background, ethnicity or potentially their gender. Ray Rist's study in 1970 of an American kindergarten showed that a child's home background and appearance determined what groups they were separated into on each table, not the child's ability. 'Ideal pupils' were commonly found to be middle-class children of whom had a clean and neat appearance. These children were seated closest to the teacher being given the most encouragement. The remaining groups labelled 'clowns' and were seated furthest from the teacher. Children in these 'clown' groups were likely...

...Every pupil has their own potential to excel in any ways. One can earn good grades but on the other hand fail because of bad habits on their studies or disinterest. Studies show specific factors that contributes the most. Once they are identified, it may be changed and put the child back in the right path. Bullying In the past decades, bullying seems like a harmless activity that have been that been happening in schools. But in pupils and student who are in 6th to 10th grade 13 percent of had been reported to have the present oh bullying, and 10 percent are reported to be victims.

You can represent your school by doing that thing the bet way you can. But all things have limitation, while you’re in the game you don’t know what’s happening in your classroom or what lesson did they thought. Yes, you can earn points but that’s not enough to get you through the entire school year you must also learn and put things in the right place.

...CHAPTER I The Problem and Its Background Introduction For many years, educators and researchers have debated which school variables influence student achievement. As policy-makers became more involved in school reform, this suggestion takes on new importance since their many initiatives rely on presumed relationships between various education-related factors and learning outcomes. Some researches have suggested that “schools bring little influence to bear upon a child’s achievement test is independent of his background and general social context.” (Coleman et. al. 1966; Jenks et. al. 1972). Other evidence suggests that factors like class size (Glass, et. al. 1982; Mosteller, 1995), teacher qualification (Ferguson, 1991), school size (Holler, 1993), and other school variables may play an important role in influencing learning. As new standard for new learning continues to be introduced in the country, hence, greater attention is given to the role teacher plays in student achievement. While some evidence suggests that better qualified teachers may make a difference in student learning at the school and district levels. There is also increasing inquiry into the exact predictors that affect teacher efficiency vis-à-vis student level of achievement. Teaching competence and teacher impact on students may largely determine whether or not the student will fail or succeed in his studies. Through students’ individual differences need to be considered in the teaching-learning...

...UNIVERSITY OF NUEVA CACERES City of Naga High School Department Negative Factors Affecting the Academic Performance of High School Students Dave Arthur A. Nobleza 10 Diamond S/Y 2015 - 2016 CHAPTER 1 Introduction Education is the process of facilitating learning. Knowledge, skills, values, beliefs, and habits of a group of people are transferred to other people, through storytelling, discussion, teaching, training, or research. Education began in the earliest prehistory, as adults trained the young in the knowledge and skills deemed necessary in their society. Education is said to be the key to our future, because education can help a person to succeed in life. You have to study hard, pursue and pass the exams for you to get the diploma that you’ve been waiting for. This kind of view is only for college students, not for high school students. Why? Because being a high school student is very different, they are not so focused on their studies because of the fact that they are still young so they think there still a lot of time for that kind of things. There are a lot of things why being a high school student is different, there are so many reasons why high school students don’t get high grades, and there are several negative factors affecting the academic performance of high school students. This observation prompted the researcher to create a study that will help students, teachers, parents and the...

Worse, they may be prone to emotional and psychological distress. In addition Edillon (2008) mentioned that one of the activities that could enhanced the relationship between the OFW parents and their children is by writing letters. She added that the school may help by including this in the children's activities. Edillon (2008) said that the school is also a place where values and skills learned at home by the OFW children should be strengthened and improved. With the absence of the parents/guardians will also be the school's ally in imparting good values to the children. The researcher experience that a child left by the parents change...

...academic performance in English Communication? PROBLEM: What are the factors affecting the academic performance of the students in English Communication? BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: Once a pupil reached Grade Three level, teachers are expecting that this pupil can already comprehend on what he/she is reading, whether in English or in Filipino. The researcher had found out based on the final rating of Grade Three pupils in his school that almost 75% are low performing pupils. Despite of several programs by the Department of Education, the problem on reading comprehension still prevails. When a pupil has a reading comprehension difficulty, it could be observed that all the subjects that he/she is studying are being affected. Thus, the researcher decided to find out if reading comprehension has a significant relationship to the academic performance of Grade Three pupils. LITERATURE RELATED TO THE STUDY: As cited by Wilson and Cleland in their Theory of Diagnosis, “the first step in dealing reading difficulties is the identification of the difficulty. That classroom diagnosis can take place before, during and after instruction was clearly expressed by Wilson and Cleland. It is impossible to give any recommendation when one does not know what to remediate. Diagnosis may begin with a simple observation and possibly as survey test which will be followed by a hypothetical remedy to the disability.” To diagnose the difficulty in reading, there are several factors that...
