RATIONALE
This study shall also determines the factors which contribute to such effects,
which includes, but not limited to, time management, crisis management and attitude.
The findings of this study will be used as basis for proposed intervention measures.
Theoretical Background
There had been different theories on the effects of working part-time or the
grades of such students. This includes the following:
Traditional Pedagogical Theory- According to the Theory of Traditional
Pedagogical, major impetus for the development of the student involvement theory was
my exasperation at the tendency of many academicians to treat the student as a kind of
“black box.” On the input end of this black box are the various policies and programs of
a college or university; on the output end are various types of achievement measures
such as the GPA or scores on standardized tests. This theory has mostly developed as
a result of the teacher’s own schooling. This theory views the following; knowledge,
learning, teaching.
This research will started with identifying the problem and its scope such as in
this problem and Class Performance (those which affect performance) in the classroom
and assignments outside the classroom) and Extracurricular (those which are
Associated with education outside the conventional classroom setting) Theoretical
Background will be conducted includes the following Traditional Pedagogical Theory
and Partial Inclusion Theory.

There is no problem and concerns encountered in terms of physical health, emotional,
spiritual, financif1al, and time management of the working students.
There is no significant degree of relationship between the profile and concerns among
working students.
Students are not prohibited from being working students for the reason that is
continuously due to school facilities expenses and the like. This study can benefit
students who are in working while studying. To be aware of the problems and concerns
they encountered in terms of physical health, emotional, spiritual, financial, and time
management. By knowing these problems students who prefer work and study can
handle the situation he/she entering. Also the non-working and faculty members will be
able to understand the situation of the working students and help them to pursue their
studies.
This study can provide an idea to the people in solving problems and concerns
encountered by working students.
Identified with coping mechanisms against such as well. Likewise, quality learning
results in quality performance which contributes to higher achievement
The results of this study will benefit the following:
Classmates-this study may help the classmates of the part-time students to encourage
themselves to be independent that can support on their own just to finish study and they
will encourage studying seriously and managing their time.
Employer-this study may help the with the services provided by the working students
Parents- This study will help the parents of the part-time students in sending their kids

realization that poverty is not a hindrance to education.
School- this study will help the school by the tuition fees paid by the part-time students.
Regular student- This study may help regular students think that being a working or
part-timer student is not a reason not to study seriously. So this study encourages
regular student to be independent as well, and how to manage and use time valuable.
Regular students’ parents- This study will help the parents of regular students to grow
their children’s independent and will encourage parents to force their children’s develop

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Design
Quantitative method was used in this study. It is concerned with identifying
conditions which the respondent most relate the situation.
Upon the advice of the research teacher, a letter of intent was sent to the
different schools in Tagbilaran upon the approval of the College Dean, questionnaires
were then distributed to the students concerned on specified dates. Ample time was
given to the respondents to answer after which retrieval of the said questionnaires was
done by the researchers.
Environment
The University of Bohol is the venue of the study. This is only a walking distance
both from the Cogon Public Market. It is bounded by the following streets: on the North,
Dr. Cecilio Putong Street, on the South, Rafael Palma Street; on the East, Carlos P.
Garcia Avenue and on the West, Remolador Street.
Data analysis
The survey questionnaire were gathered, numbered and coded into spread sheet
using Microsoft Excel 10. For the appropriate translation of each variable, a code book
will prepared by the researcher. For the ease of analysis of the figures, statistical
packages for social sciences version 20 willl be used to compute the frequencies,
percentages, weighted mean and composited mean.
The correlation coefficient is a measure that determines the degree to which two
variables' movements are associated. The range of values for the correlation coefficient
is -1.0 to 1.0. If a calculated correlation is greater than 1.0 or less than -1.0, a mistake
has been made. A correlation of -1.0 indicates a perfect negative correlation while a
correlation of 1.0 indicates a perfect positive correlation. This will be used after we
distributed the questionnaire to the respondents.
RESPONDENTS
The respondents of the study are the working students of University of Bohol who
enrolled in the summer for S.Y. 2017-2018.
