Research (RRL Individual)

This document discusses tardiness and punctuality among senior high school students. It summarizes previous research that identified multiple factors that can cause students to be late to class, such as staying up late to watch movies, distance to school, keeping unpunctual friends, and lack of discipline from parents. Tardiness is shown to negatively impact not just late students but their classmates, as it disrupts lesson flow and requires catching up. Previous studies found common causes were late bedtimes, distance to school, and social influences. Solutions are needed to address tardiness issues.

Effects of tardiness, the senior high school mostly experiencing this situation

and has its own negative repercussions. Nakpodia and Dafiaghor (2011) emphasized
that lateness or tardiness is not just the problem of the late student but it affects the
surrounding people. A student coming late in class distracts the rest of the students and
disrupts the flow of the teacher’s discussion. It is even a burden to the student/s whom
the late students ask for what to catch up with. The rest of the effects given by Nakpodia
and Dafiaghor are about the welfare of the whole school, its productivity and revenue.
Knowing the possible effects of lateness or tardiness, it is necessary for solutions to be
executed.

Being always present in class and getting to school on time are two of the crucial
determining factors of a student’s success, not just as a student but as a person who
will be managing his/her own life in the future. Given the importance of being punctual,
this study aims to explore and find out the factors that affect the punctuality of students.
In this chapter, we will be discussing about the background of our study. It includes facts
about tardiness, the different factors that causes it and its effect to the students as
students and as bearer of their own lives in the future. From reliable research materials
like online journals and research papers, we will provide some facts and theories from
authors, teachers and notable people in order to have a concrete justification of our
study (Bilocura, 2012).

The study revealed that the causes of lateness among the secondary students in
Nigeria were “going late to bed because of watching films and home movies, resulting
into wake up late in the morning, distance to school and keeping friends who are not
students” (Oghuvbu, 2008). These results went consistent with the results of Oghuvbu’s
reference studies which proves that tardiness among students have been a growing
problem and that it is caused, not just because of the students but also because of the
lack of imposing discipline from the parents.

tudies
Nakpodia and Dafiaghor attribute lateness or tardiness to a lot of factors or
causes. Going late to bed and waking up late next morning are the most common. The
authors added film-watching late at night as a cause for tardiness. The student may
forget that he/she needs to be in school the next day. The distance between the
student’s home and school or solely the school’s location is also considered by
Nakpodia and Dafiaghor as a possible cause for tardiness. Not just because it takes
more time to get to school, but according to the authors, the student is susceptible to
more distractions and hindrances along the way. Parent’s untimely tasks and
commands are also reasons that students come late to school. Habitual tardiness can
also be learned from other members of the family, especially from the older ones. Lack
of a firm and consistent policy on punctuality also encourages students to come late at
school since there are no consequences attached to lateness or tardiness. These
causes of tardiness will lead to serious effects.

Tardiness among students has its own negative repercussions. Nakpodia and
Dafiaghor (2011) emphasized that lateness or tardiness is not just the problem of the
late student but it affects the surrounding people. A student coming late in class
distracts the rest of the students and disrupts the flow of the teacher’s discussion. It is
even a burden to the student/s whom the late students ask for what to catch up with.
The rest of the effects given by Nakpodia and Dafiaghor are about the welfare of the
whole school, its productivity and revenue. Knowing the possible effects of lateness or
tardiness, it is necessary for solutions to be executed.
