SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary, significant findings,
conclusion and recommendations based on the results presented
in chapter 4.
Summary
This study aimed the students who are facing numerous
academic challenges, including assignments, projects, exams, and
quizzes, which can impact their academic performance. However,
stress can be dangerous and lead to failure. Hence to reduce
stress, students need to create coping strategies, such as providing
control over their education, information about expectations, and
feedback on improving performance. Stress can have both positive
and negative effects, with positive influences promoting awareness
and new perspectives. Negative influences can lead to feelings of
distrust, rejection, anger, depression, and health problems like
high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Recognizing
common stress symptoms can help manage them and prevent
health issues like high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and
diabetes. The study found that problem-solving and social support
are the most commonly used coping mechanisms.
Summary of Findings
41
These are the summary of findings in the study per problem stated
in chapter 1.
Problem 1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of
age, gender, and class/sections?
The respondents mostly are female, for nowadays they are
the ones who are more likely experiencing the academic stress
among the Grade 12 HUMSS students, and the dominating age
bracket are those from the 17 years old age bracket and 18 years
old age and above bracket, wherein the age of those who are
respondents of this study. Respondents are mostly those
individuals who are from 5 different class/section of Grade 12
HUMSS and still studying.
Problem 2. What are the Academic Stressors Faced by Grade
12 HUMSS Students?
The findings of the research revealed that peer pressure
significantly affects academic stress levels of the respondents
because peer pressure intensifies academic stress by promoting
competition, risky study habit and social exclusion, leading to
anxiety, self-esteem issues, and unhealthy coping mechanisms. It
is the statement that gained the highest mean.

Problem 3. What are the Coping Strategies that the Grade 12
HUMSS students effectively done?
The findings of the research revealed that engaging in
extracurricular activities as a form of relaxation is the coping
strategies that respondents effectively done because
extracurricular activities provide students with a healthy escape
from academic pressures, fostering positive mental well-being and
a sense of belonging, promoting a sense of achievement and
physical release. It is the statement that gained the highest mean.
Conclusion
The
Recommendation
Based on the findings and conclusions, the following items are
recommended to address the stakeholders of the study:
This study described the overall mean of all the factors as often
that delays the completion of the course requirements. And still

43
the study is open for further research in this topic, especially on
widening the factors and or giving another set of factors that might
coincide with the research itself.
1. To the graduate school students who are taking and will
soon take research methodology course. The researcher suggests
for you to see this research so that you will be informed on these
factors that are present and might hinder your completion on the
course requirements, and use this knowledge to excellently
surpass these factors.
2. To the faculty and staff of the universities/colleges that have
a graduate school program, with research methodology course in
it. The researcher recommends that you should raise more
awareness to this matter and the factors present in this study. To
be more considerate to your students when they are taking the
course.
3. To the future researcher with the same topic of this study.
The researcher hopes that this will serve as a guide and reference
for your study. The researcher also suggests broadening more the
factors for there are a lot to take consideration into. And that also
see other topics that correlates with research study, e.g. how to
avoid factors that might delay completion of research methodology
course requirements.
