...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...

...CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Success in academics, career, transactions and all the struggles people face in the different aspects of their daily lives could only be attained if proper attitude was present. How to approach or avoid the problems, challenges and circumstances they faced every day predicted the result. The same idea was shared by Hilary Hinton Ziglar (2011) which stated that it is not what happens to you that determines how far you will go in life; it is how you handle what happens to you. Even if a lot of challenges were given to men, this does not define one’s final outcome. It was one’s attitude towards the challenge that predicted and established their future. However, not all people nowadays knew how to face properly each circumstance offered by life and thus ended in catastrophic situations. This same problem is faced by students of the present generation especially in their academics wherein reading is mostly valuable. This study was concerned with the decline of the students engaging in reading. How did they acquired knowledge and information? What were their approaches in acquiring knowledge? Did they really understand what they had recently gathered? Reading is not only confined in the four walls of classrooms but more importantly used in different jobs and professions. Reading, together with writing was a useful tool in communication from the time of the ancient Egyptians and Chinese. In the age of the Internet and information...

...Q. Analyze the global publication industry(magazines-all genres, general) and the factors influencing it. Ans .The global publishing market is expected to reach a worth of more than $252 billion by 2014, The publishing industry is involved in the production of magazines, newspapers and books, and encompasses general, professional and academic disciplines. The printed word is under increasing pressure from online publishing as readers turn to e-books and online resources over the print materials. Other industries in the publishing industry include mailing lists, directories, information services and journals. Lower disposable income hampered consumer spending on books during the past five years. A transition toward digital technology also dented Global Book Publishing industry revenue due to the difficulty of pricing e-books, which are intrinsically different from printed products. The investments necessary to transition toward digital publishing also led to consolidation within the industry; they resulted in a 0.7% annualized decline in firms to 16,308 in the five years to 2013. There is a high degree of competition in the industry due to its moderate threat of substitutes and buyers’ power. The shift by advertisers' spending from traditional media to digital media has greatly affected print magazine advertising and circulation in all regions. The global magazine publishing industry is going through a period of turmoil, as the increasing penetration of broadband...

...Student Name: Instructors Name: Date: Supply vs Demand Abstract Supply and demand are two important concepts in a marketplace. These concepts are dynamic and vary from market to market. The objective of this paper is to compare and contrast the supply and demand concepts based on available scholar material. The comparison involves reviewing the literature material under the definitions of demand and supply; the relationship between supply and demand; the effect of supply and demand on the market; and the factors affecting demand and supply in the United States of America. The review uses book materials in economics including the classical economics. Definition of demand and supply The demand in economics is defined as the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a given price during a given period of time, (Richard Ely, 1919). In economics, demand is greater than a desire to purchase. Richard argues that a beggar, for instance, may desire a good house, but due to lack of money to pay for the house, the demand becomes ineffective. Such a demand has no purchasing power. Thus, demand in a market is dependent on desire, affordability and willingness to purchase. Supply is defined as the number of goods and services that the seller is willing to sell at a given price, (Richard Ely, 1919). Richard clearly states that supply is seller-centered. Like the demand concept, supply depends on the availability of goods, the price of the goods...

...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.) Every human endeavour utilizes...

She presents the scenario in a form of research in which she shares her arguments and analysis as a veteran investigative journalist. This paper will review Coronel’s research as well as her primary arguments including her policy recommendations, and will evaluate the quality of Coronel’s research, writing, and focus. Summary Coronel begins his paper by reviewing the general premise of media as a watchdog of the society in monitoring government and exposing its excesses. She presents evidences on the retraction of this role around the world thanks to “globalization, the fall of authoritarian and socialist regimes, and the deregulation of the media worldwide.” To ponder on the watchdog role of media, Coronel asks the following important questions: Is the press acting as watchdog always desirable? In countries where the media are hobbled by draconian state restrictions or driven largely by the imperatives of profit-obsessed markets, is such a role even possible? What enabling conditions make a watchdog press...

...they will have to as well lower the price to bring back readers as well as sales of advertising spaces. Although the argument may well have merit, the publisher presents a poorly reasoned argument, based on several questionable premises and assumptions, so we cannot accept his argument as valid. The primary issue with the publisher’s reasoning lies in his unsubstantiated premises. He attributes the paper’s declining circulation to solely one of the competitors advantage, failing to discuss other factors that may have also been affecting the situation. Even if The Mercury loses readers mainly because of the competitor, which implies the newspaper has failed to create loyal readers, the problem may also be the quality of the news content. Moreover, the publisher does not consider the result of reducing price, which may also lower the profit margin and further cause difficulty in continuing encouraging the circulation by such means. If it is truly the best way to do so as the publisher argues, the newspaper would need to clearly explain the strategy considering the aspects discussed above to be more convincing. In addition, the publisher makes assumptions remaining unproven that cannot link between the evidence and conclusion. The business assumes the readers choose newspaper merely based price instead of other considerations, such as quality of content or availability. Even if the publisher is convinced that readers care the most about price, it weakens the argument by making...

...Paywall is the new system introduced by The New York Times in September 2011 that prevents internet users from accessing news articles without a subscription. The paywall used by The Times is a „soft“ paywall which means that users are able to see some content (20 articles per month) and after they reach the limit, they must pay to access more content. The paywall proved to be a successful endeavor for The Times in the short run, because in only 2 months they managed to get 390 000 subscribers, which assured them a new source of revenue. In addition to these subscriptions, 70% of The Times subscribers to the print version registered for the online subscription as well. Long term success of the project was still in question due to many factors affecting the online subscriptions, such as availability of other sources of news, willingness of other big news providers to offer content for free and new emerging technologies that affect the way users read content online, like smartphones and tablets. In spite of that, the confidence of The Times publisher in their new payment system is evident in the fact that shortly after the success of this project they introduced the same system for another famous publication in their group: The Boston globe. Other news publications that tried this model have had positive, as well as negative, experiences with it. WSJ has managed to keep its superior position in the news provider industry despite its paywall, while the The Times of London had a drop...

It is a management book which describes how companies change from being the normal average companies to being greater than they anticipated while others do not go through that transition. It is one of the most successful books published for businesses. The title itself gives the reader the summary of what to expect; how to change a good company into a great company. It is clear to see how the author has mastered the art of writing a captivating management book. He uses various methods to do this ensuring the reader keeps turning the pages.

He uses metaphors in many parts of the book to explain simple concepts like ‘get the right people in the bus, they have to be in the right seats then the bus connotes movement (Collins)’ instead of that he could have just said ‘hire good people.’ This is what separates this business book from the rest. He also focused more on the lists which one should stop doing rather than the common to do lists. Collins also gives researched information with proof to his readers giving examples of companies thus making it believable to the readers.
