Examining The Efficacy of Time Management Intervention in Grade-12

Students on Cogom National High School

Chapter 1

Introduction

Time management is an essential skill that allows individuals to effectively allocate

their time to various tasks and activities. For high school students, mastering this skill is crucial
as they juggle between academic responsibilities, extracurricular activities, social engagements,
and personal commitments. However, many students struggle with managing their time
effectively, leading to increased stress, decreased productivity, and a negative impact on their
overall well-being.

To address this issue, researchers have developed various time management

interventions aimed at equipping high school students with the necessary tools and strategies
to better manage their time. These interventions typically involve teaching students techniques
for prioritizing tasks, setting goals, creating schedules, and avoiding common time-wasting
activities.

Background

Time management is a fundamental skill that plays a crucial role in academic success
and overall well-being. High school students often face multiple demands on their time,
including coursework, extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, and social commitments. As a
result, many students experience difficulties in effectively managing their time, leading to
increased stress, reduced productivity, and negative impacts on their academic performance
and overall well-being.

Ultimately, the goal of this study is to provide evidence-based recommendations for

the development and implementation of effective time management programs for high school
students, with the aim of enhancing their academic success, reducing stress, and promoting
their overall well-being.
Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of a specific time management
intervention for high school students. By evaluating the impact of this intervention on students'
time management skills, academic performance, and overall well-being, we aim to provide
valuable insights into the effectiveness of such interventions in improving students' time
management abilities and their overall success in school.

Reseaech Questions:

- How does the time management intervention impact students' ability to prioritize tasks?

- Does the time management improve students' ability to create and adhere to effective
schedules?

- What is the relationship between the time management and students' academic
performance?

- Does the intervention have a positive effect on students' stress levels and overall well-being?

Objective of the Study

1. To assess the effectiveness of the time management intervention in improving high school
students' time management skills.

2. To measure the effects of the intervention on high school students' academic performance,
such as their grades and test scores.

3. To evaluate the time management influence on high school students' overall well-being,
including their stress levels, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with their time management abilities.

Reseaech Hypothesis
H1: There is a relationship between time management and academic achievement of high
school students

H2: There is no significant relationship between time management and academic achievement
of high school students

The Significance of the Study

1. Academic Performance: Effective time management skills are essential for students to
manage their academic workload efficiently. By investigating the efficacy of a time management
intervention, the study can provide insights into the impact of such an intervention on students'
academic performance. Improved time management skills can lead to better study habits,
increased productivity, and enhanced academic outcomes.

2. Stress Reduction: High school students often face multiple demands, such as completing
assignments, studying for exams, participating in extracurricular activities, and maintaining a
social life. Inadequate time management skills can lead to stress and overwhelm. By evaluating
the effectiveness of a time management intervention, the study can contribute to reducing
students' stress levels by equipping them with strategies to manage their time effectively.

3. Lifelong Skills: Time management is a critical skill that extends beyond high school. The study
can examine how the intervention impacts students' ability to prioritize tasks, set goals, and
allocate time efficiently. By equipping students with effective time management skills at an
early age, they can develop lifelong habits that will benefit them in college, their careers, and
personal life.

4. Personal Well-being: Poor time management can negatively impact students' well-being and
overall quality of life. It can lead to sleep deprivation, reduced leisure time, and decreased
engagement in self-care activities. By evaluating the efficacy of a time management
intervention, the study can contribute to enhancing students' overall well-being by promoting a
balanced approach to managing their time.

5. Transferable Skills: Effective time management skills are transferable to various areas of life,
such as personal projects, professional responsibilities, and time with family and friends. By
examining the efficacy of a time management intervention specifically targeted at high school
students, the study can contribute to the development of interventions and strategies that can
be applied in different contexts and benefit individuals beyond the school setting.

In summary, investigating the efficacy of a time management intervention for high

school students has significant implications for academic performance, stress reduction, lifelong
skills development, personal well-being, and the acquisition of transferable skills. The findings
of this study can inform educational institutions, educators, and parents on the importance of
implementing effective interventions to support students in developing and enhancing their
time management skills.

Scope and Limitations

 The study intent to examine the effects of time management intervention of
highschool students ‘quantitative approach' will adopted to gather more information and data
with focus of determining the ralationship between time management and the academic
performance of students.

This study will mainly identify on how the time management intervention's effects
students academic performance. Also, this study yearn to identify the academic performance of
students with/without time management intervention.

This study will be conducted by high school student researchers schoolteacher instructions will
be fallowed.

Theoretical Framework

The study is anchored from the theoretical support of the impact of time-
management on the students academic performance by Creational Education (2021)- For
students to better manage their curriculum and achieve learning objectives, time management
behaviors or skills are argued to improve the positive academic output. The aim of the study is
to find the impact of time management on the academic performance of students among the
diagnostic radiology technology students at KAU. This study had a cross-sectional survey-based
study design.It was conducted among students of diagnostic radiology technology department
at King Abdul-Aziz University from Sep. 2020 to Feb. 2021. For this study, 152 students were
targeted among which 142 completed the questionnaire, making the response rate of 93.4%.
Among 142 participants, 75 (52.8%) were females and 52 (36.6%) were in the 2018 batch.
