PERFORMANCE AMONG GRADE – 11 STUDENTS

IN CAWAYAN NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

S.Y 2023-2024

Chapter 1

Rationale

Extracurricular activity refers to any organized activity that takes place

outside of the regular school curriculum. These activities defined as something

done for pleasure or purpose that usually involves a group ( Merriam – Webster,

2016). Extracurricular activities comprise sports, singing, music, debate, dance,

drama, social services, etc. School can play a significant role by transmitting the

energy of both normal as well as physically challenged students into s positive

direction of personality development through extracurricular activities. In modern

approaches of education, one way to emphasize the all – ground activities

development of student is by allowing them to get involved in co - curricular

activities, since education comprises in a society where teenagers are more

interested in sports , extracurricular activities, music, and parental involvement

than schoolwork, all of these factors have an impact on how well teens do

academically.

A study conducted in Pakistan, found that students participating in

extracurricular activities possess high grades, higher standardized extra curricular

activities were less able to utilize drugs and alcohol, give up on school, misbehave,

and commit crime at the school level, test results, excellent educational adaption,

more attended school, higher self – trust and good personality development (

Kanar and Bouckenooghe, 2021 ).

In 2017, the researcher argue how the involvement of extracurricular

activities affect the performance and participation of students in the academic

aspect of the Senior High School students of Rizal Memorial Institute of Dapitan

City ( Golemit et al., 2017 ). Accenting to the Department of Education ( DEPED )

K – 12 law , grades between academic and extracurricular activities are not be

added to the overall grades anymore. The study significant to let the students know

how to handle extracurricular activity and in deciding how much time the should

they should allocated in a certain study.

Based also on the study of Recio et al. (2021), academic engagement

among students is high, with most attending class daily and contributing to their

academic performance. However , there is no significant relationship between

academic engagement and GPA among Senior High School students in the

University of Cebu – Main Campus during the 2021 – 2022 school year. Students

with high academic engagement achieve better academic performance, while

those with moderate performance may struggle.

Therefore, this study aims to determine the effects of extracurricular

activities on the academic performance among grade - 11 students in Cawayan

National High School. Hence, there's a study that says extracurricular activities

contribute to the academic performance and some studies are not. The

researchers want to determine if the participation of extracurricular activities does

have an effect on student's academic performance.

Theoretical Framework

James Coleman’s Multiple Role Theory

There is no universal agreement on whether or not a student’s involvement

in extracurricular activities, including athletics and clubs, will improve academic

performance. Extracurricular activities are thought to improve academic

performance theoretically. Extracurricular activities provide additional,

complimentary roles for a student that benefits for a student academically because

the added role of athlete, for example, increases self – esteem and overall

participation/investment in school, which can boost grades ( Hunt, 2005)

Welberg’s Theory
 According to Welberg’s ( 1981), the integration of individual and institutional

factors that may affect academic accomplishment makes this research significant.

No study has looked into the relationship between the following set of variables:

student – faculty interaction, student involvement in learning through active

learning strategies, quality of instruction, institutional learning and support

infrastructure in terms of library and computer resources, and student academic

outcome. This is despite the fact that many studies have focused on student –

faculty interaction and the effect it has on student academic performance.

Additionally, this study is significant because elements within and outside the

classroom are investigated to see If they have an impact on students’ academic

progress. The likelihood of adding to the body of knowledge in this discipline will

increase as a result of the discoveries leading to new hypothesis.

Review of Related Literature

This section delves on extensive reviews of references that are useful as

supplementary materials of the research topic. This is a detailed review of

existing literatures related to extracurricular activities on academic performance.

It attempts to explore on sources that are useful to enrich the research study on

the effect of extracurricular activities on academic performance by consulting

thesis or dissertation, journal and published online source formats.

Extracurricular Activities

Students that participate in extracurricular activities benefit from the chance

to interact, gain knowledge and develop soft skills. Community service initiatives

outside of the classroom have quickly integrated themselves into student life.

Students can join volunteer clubs, professional clubs, interest clubs, and talent

clubs. Additionally, a lot of young people take part in both big and little projects

with clear objectives that directly help the neighborhood ( Le Phuong Thao,2022).

Students can greatly benefit from extracurricular activities on a professional,

moral, and social level. Any planned activity directed by adults that takes place

outside of the typical classroom environment during the school year is referred to
as an extracurricular activity (El-Batri and Alami , 2019). Extracurricular activities

are used to develop kid’s talents and sharpen their thinking skills (Inriyani,2017).

Student’s intellectual and social abilities can be enhanced by the causal use of

extracurricular activities outside of the classroom to develop learning opportunities

and a sense of self-confidence ( Saputra, 2020). Although there is a ton of study

on the subject extracurricular activities in schools, the majority of the literature is

written from a Western cultural perspective, and there is still little research on

extracurricular activities in the Asian region ( Jallani, 2017). The effects of

extracurricular activities on participants and schools are extensive. Extracurricular

activities promote favorable academic, psychological, and socio – emotional

results (Donelly, 2019). There is a significant relationship between extracurricular

activities and the application of character education, as extracurricular activities

produce values and the formation of high morals in participant’s social lives

through the embodiment of academic knowledge learned in class, attitudes, and

skills (Dhallyana,2017).

Academic Performance

Nowadays, education is considered as a first step for every human activity.

It plays a vital role in the development of human capital and is linked with an

individual’s well- being and opportunities for better living. Student’s performance

remains at top priority for educators. It is meant for making a difference locally,

regionally, nationally and globally. In educational institution, success is measured

by academic performance, or how well a student meets standard set out by

institution itself ( Shahzadi and Ahmad, 2013).

If the academic reinforcement is applied in accordance with a defined

institutional planning, the results of the diagnostic tests and the formative

evaluation in each school cycle, including the implementation of virtual learning

environments in conjunction with permanent and personalized reinforcements as

proposed, it is possible that the academic performance of the students is

significantly improved, avoiding substitution processes in the sublevel of study

environment and teacher tactics in variational thinking because it is viewed as the

culmination of a learning process that can be influenced by a range or factors

(Corredor and Bailey, 2020). Early academic performance prediction is a crucial

component of educational research since it not only assists teachers in creating

timely interventions but also promotes individualized instruction. Identifying crucial

elements that influence pupil’s academic performance is the main challenge.

Academic performance has been shown to be connected with factors like

socioeconomic background, IQ and even physical health. On the other hand, these

traits are generally stable over time and are challenging to alter by educational

administration (Huaxiu Yao,2019).
