Science has brought many changes in people’s lifestyle. It’s difficult if not impossible to live today and not experience the results of science investigations. Everyday occurrences such as hearing the weather forecast, watching television, talking on the telephone, and flying through the air are made possible through science. These are handiworks of scientists and proofs that science has become highly important in our lives and continue to change our lives and lead us to progress. Almost everybody, even scientists first learned their science in school. It is the best place to promote science and technology. In fact, science curriculum in high schools has been modified in quantity and quality to adapt to the changes in time.

...THE INFLUENCE OF SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN SELECTED SECONDARY SCHOOLS ABSTRACT The study aimed at finding out the influence of the environment on students' academic performance in selected secondary schools in Origbo Community ,Ife North Local Government Area. The need for the study arose from the fact that much as educators, policymakers and the general public have always wanted students’ academic outcomes to improve, the results in Origbo Community show that some schools have continued to register poor performance in National Exams. It was therefore important that a study be conducted to establish the extent to which the environment affects students' academic performance. The research sought to determine whether school infrastructure, instructional materials and teacher quality influence students’ academic performance(environmental factors) in any way affected academic performance of students. A cross sectional design was employed with a sample size of 302 senior four students who were randomly selected from eight secondary schools. Questionnaires were used to collect quantitative data from students while an interview guide was used to gather qualitative data from teachers and head teachers. The study also employed an observation checklist. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics in form of frequency counts and percentages; and inferential statistics using the t-test and ANOVA technique to...

...Perspective of the UIC High School Students on the Effects of a Limited Range of Allowance on their Performance in School Introduction: Opening Statement Monetary allowance contributes to our every action. As students, its uses extend to much more than basic essentials for everyday living. It is observable that the amount of allowance the students need to comply with the demands of the school increases as their degree or level of education increases. With this, the researchers have reason to study on whether their allowance range affects their performance in school or not in their own perspective. Originally, the investment of parents in students’ allowance was expected to make them grow old independently, to develop their skills in managing their budget, to build financial literacy. However, a survey by 2000 Jump$tart in the United States of America found 52.5 %, who didn’t receive an unconditional allowance while growing up, received the highest score in financial literacy while those who received an unconditional allowance had the lowest financial literacy rate of 49.1%. This meant that those who weren’t given an unconditional allowance had more knowledge about savings, spending, and credit. The lack of understanding on the said factors could be rooted to the cause of abusiveness being practiced by the students which includes acts that are considered detrimental to the concentration of students in school like addictive gaming, foolish acquisitions, excessive purchases...

Mesa, Manila In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Course RSH 710 - Seminar in Dissertation Writing 2 By Mark Anthony R. Malonzo May 2015 CHAPTER 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction The global education agendum is EDUCATION FOR ALL. In the Philippines, it has been a struggle from the time when formal education was first introduced. The 3 major concerns always revolve around the three issues of ACCESS, QUALITY AND EQUITY. Asking how these three are addressed by the Government is a never-ending endeavor for all the education service-providers and stakeholders. One of the major socio-economic and political milestones in the history of Philippine Educational System is the advent of ASEAN Integration 2015. As brought about by this Economic Integration, the enhancements that the educational system in the country has been undergoing, primarily aim to refine quality, improve access and maintain equity in education.

As a beginning professional teacher, it is advantageous to know the legal bases of education and the programs and projects of the department. It must also be clarified about the rights, responsibilities, and accountabilities as a teacher. It is important that the beginning teacher must internalize their roles, rights, obligations, and accountability that must be performed as a professional teacher. Being a part of the organization, the beginning teacher must also be aware of the programs and projects of the department through the years to achieve the goal of improving the quality of basic education. The culture inherent in the system and structure of the department also helps in giving the right perspective and insight of the organization. But historically, the teaching occupation has not had the...

...development of the child. There is no such thing as the perfect family. Every family is unique with its own combination of strengths and weaknesses. Sometimes families get overwhelmed by what seems like an endless list of challenges when it comes to juggling work, school and individual family members' needs. Over the past 20 years single-parent families have become even more common than the so-called "nuclear family" consisting of a mother, father and children. Today we see all sorts of single parent families: headed by mothers, headed by fathers, headed by grandparents raising their grandchildren. Life in a single parent household - though common - can be quite demanding and stressful for the adult and the children. Structurally, family/homes is either broken or intact. A broken home in this context, is one that is not structurally intact, it could be as a result of divorce, separation, death of one parent, economic status and illegitimacy. According to Frazer (2001), psychological home conditions arise mainly from illegitimacy of children, the label of adopted child, broken home, divorce and parental deprivation. Such abnormal conditions of the home are likely to have a detrimental effect on the student performance in the school. However, the child also faces more indirect conflict with high academic achievement from areas like; finance and family background. Families that are faced with financial challenges can have negative influence on the student intelligence and social life....

...PARENTS’ SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS AND STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. CHAPTER ONE Background to the Study It is an undebatable fact that the home is the fulcrum around which the early years of a child revolves. The central figures are the parents. While child-bearing and child-rearing cannot be divorced one from the other, the type of child-rearing practiced in a family has a tremendous impact on the entire life of the child including his or her academic life. Generally, the social climate or environment in which an individual finds him or her self to a large extent determines his or her behaviour and personality development. Consequently, parental guidance and discipline usually influence the behaviour of the children and at the apex of this parental influence is the mother. According to Olayinka and Omoegun (2001), the word "family" has its origin in the Latin word which could be translated to mean "domestic group". A domestic group is a group of people who habitually share a common dwelling and common food supply. According to Murdoch (1965) family is a social group characterized by common residence, economic, cooperation and reproduction; it includes adults of both sexes, at least two of who maintains a socially approved sexual relationship and one more children, own or adopted by the sexually cohabiting adult. The family provides for the physical maintenance of the child, offers him his first and most continuing social contracts, and gives him affection and other emotional...

...study. Background and Rationale of the Study The School Health Nursing Program (SHNP)is an integral part of the total school program. The philosophy of the School Health Nursing Program is consistent with the socio-economic, cultural and political philosophy of the people. Therefore, health and nutrition education are aligned with their democratic way of life. The School Health Nursing Program is a health service offered by the DepEd for elementary school children in the province of Capiz. School nurses visit schools throughout the year to provide children with the opportunity to have their health checked; provide information and advice about healthy behaviors and link children and families to community-based health and wellbeing services. This program is designed to identify children with potential health-related learning difficulties and to respond to health concerns and observations about the child's health and wellbeing. Other activities offered by the program may include formal and informal health education and health promotion to the school community. The School Health Nursing Program plays a key role in reducing negative health outcomes and risk taking behaviors among pupils. Its focus is on prevention of ill health and problem behaviors by ensuring coordination between the school and the community based health and support services (Harmon, et. al. 2005). The School Health Nursing Program supports the school community in addressing contemporary health and social...

...High school students in part-time employment: What effects on scholastic performance? Educators in the United States have long argued about the effects of part-time work on the academic performance of high school students. Though many studies claim that there is a relationship between a student’s grade point average (GPA) – the standard measure academic performance in high schools and universities in the US – and the number of hours the students is employed, there seems little agreement on what that relationship is. Several studies (Sneider, 1982; Wallace, 1988; Johnson and Payne, 1989) suggest that students who work after school do better in their school work than students who do not have a job. Peel and Maas (1990), meanwhile, suggest that students with part-time job generally do worse than their classmates who do not work at all. Still other research claims the amount of hours worked outside school hours is of very minor importance; much more important in influencing a student’s performance in school are the student’s habits and home life (Alvares, 1987). Of seven major studies on high school students in employment received by Bjarnes and Doi (1990), four studies specifically investigated the relationship between scholastic achievement and part-time work. Of these, two concluded that students who work beyond a certain amount of hours per week tent to have generally lower GPAs (Walson and Yin, 1990; Corbelli, 1989). These two studies noted...

...The Influence of the School Media Specialist’s Role on Students’ Attitudes and Performance in the Research Process Abstract Many high school students at all achievement levels fail in the research process due to the frustration and anxiety that arise from their inability to efficiently locate and manipulate resources. This frustration causes them to perform poorly and in some cases to abandon the process. At the same time, the media specialist’s training and expertise are under-used by both teachers and students. All classes of male and female 11th grade students of all ability levels will be subjected to two different styles of bibliographic instruction prior to beginning their research papers. At the time the assignment is given they will be given a questionnaire that measures their attitudes at various stages of the process. A correlation between attitudes and grades is hypothesized. The conclusion drawn from such a correlation is that an active bibliographic instruction role reduces students’ frustration and anxiety in the research process and thus, positively influences grades. Introduction To address the problem of failure in the high school research paper process, the method of bibliographic instruction is one of several factors that can reasonably be examined. If BI is, indeed, a relevant factor, it may then be postulated to extend its influence to other areas that may have a contributory...

...Introduction Many high school students today work part-time. Their reason for working is mostly due to the fact that they lack the financial that they need. Few would reason that their working for only personal leisure. Employment while studying has a greatly effect in their academic performance. Academic performance refers on how student deals with their studies, it is on how they accumulate knowledge while listening or communicate in their skills. Many researchers debate about the effect of part-time job in their academic performance. Some of the researchers found out that having a part-time job could decrease the academic performance of a student, time for bonding with family and especially time for you to relax. Straus and Holmberg (1968) found that the association between grades and students’ employment status is weak. (Coleman, 1974), demonstrated that workers have slightly lower grade point averages than non-workers. But some of the researchers found out that having a part time job could increase the academic performance of a student especially the working skills, responsibility, punctuality, and build self-confidence. In contrast, critics have argued that employment, as it occurs now (in fast-food restaurants, grocery stores, retail stores, and so forth), does not educate or properly prepare students for adult occupational roles (Behn, et al., 1974; Greenberger and Steinberg, 1981; Steinberg, 1982), fails to foster the psychological maturity or development necessary...
