Q1: Why did you select this specific sub-theme and topic? Relate it to your experience /
problem in your classroom / institution. (Give the background and rationale of the study)
Selection of Sub-theme and Topic
I selected the sub-theme of time management and the specific topic of "Improving Time Management
Skills among Grade 8th Students by Creating Weekly Schedule" due to several compelling reasons that
relate closely to my experiences and observations within the classroom and institution of Sabzal High
School.

Background:

In my role as an educator at Sabzal High School, I have had the privilege of working closely with Grade 8
students. Over time, I've noticed a recurring challenge among these students – many of them struggle to
effectively manage their time, resulting in academic stress and compromised learning experiences. As
they transition to higher grades, the demands on their time become more intricate, with increased
coursework, assignments, and extracurricular activities. This situation sparked my concern and curiosity
about addressing the issue of time management.

The choice of the research sub-theme and topic, "Improving Time Management Skills among Grade 8th
Students by Creating Weekly Schedule," was driven by the recognition of the critical role that effective
time management plays in students' academic success and overall development. This selection was not
only based on the existing literature highlighting the significance of time management skills but also on
my personal experience and observations within the classroom setting.

Rationale:
In today's fast-paced world, time management has emerged as an essential life skill, particularly for
students. As they transition to higher grades and face increasing academic demands, the ability to allocate
time efficiently becomes paramount. Research studies such as that of MacDonald (2002) emphasize that
effective time management positively influences students' academic performance and reduces stress
levels.

Within my classroom at Sabzal High School, I observed a prevalent challenge among Grade 8 students:
difficulties in managing their time effectively. Students often struggled to balance their academic
commitments, extracurricular activities, and personal responsibilities. This issue resonated with various
educators, as documented in research by Chu and Meulemans (2008), highlighting the common struggles
students face in time management.

The rationale behind selecting this specific sub-theme and topic stems from the desire to address a
tangible issue within the educational context. The project aimed not only to contribute to students'
academic achievements but also to equip them with a lifelong skill essential for personal and professional
success. As documented in research by Britton and Tesser (1991), well-developed time management skills
positively impact individuals' overall well-being and quality of life.

Q2: What was your discussion with your colleague / friend / senior teacher or supervisor
regarding the problem? (05 marks) (Provide your discussion with your colleague or
supervisor for better understanding of the problem and alternate solutions)
In my discussions with my colleague and supervisor about the research problem, "Improving Time
Management Skills among Grade 8th Students by Creating Weekly Schedule," we explored various
aspects of the issue and brainstormed potential solutions. Here's a summary of our discussion:

Identifying the Problem:

During a meeting with my colleague, we delved into the significance of time management skills for
students, particularly in the context of Grade 8. We both agreed that this was a critical age where
students began to experience more complex academic demands and extracurricular activities. We also
recognized that many students might have struggled to balance their responsibilities effectively, leading
to stress and potential academic setbacks.

Root Causes of Time Management Issues:

My colleague shared their own experiences in dealing with similar challenges in their teaching career.
They highlighted that some students lacked awareness of effective time management techniques and
could benefit from guidance and structured planning. We discussed how these issues could potentially
impact students' overall academic performance and confidence.

Exploring the Effectiveness of weekly schedule:

When I presented the idea of creating a weekly schedule as a solution, my colleague expressed
enthusiasm for its potential effectiveness. They mentioned that providing students with a practical tool
like a weekly scheduler could empower them to allocate time for different tasks, set realistic goals, and
develop a sense of responsibility and ownership over their time. We also discussed the importance of
incorporating flexibility into the schedule to accommodate unexpected events or changes.

Meeting with my supervisor

Additionally, during a meeting with my supervisor, we discussed the logistical aspects of implementing
the research project. My supervisor offered valuable insights on how to approach the data collection
process, suggesting a mix of surveys, interviews, and possibly focus groups to gather a comprehensive
understanding of the students' current time management practices and challenges. They encouraged
me to use a mix of quantitative and qualitative data to support my findings and recommendations
effectively.

Alternative Solutions:
In terms of alternate solutions, my colleague and supervisor both suggested exploring workshops or
seminars for students that focused on time management techniques. These sessions could be
interactive and engaging, allowing students to practice setting goals, prioritizing tasks, and using tools
like weekly schedules.

Overall, the discussions with my colleague and supervisor affirmed the importance of the research topic
and the potential impact of implementing weekly schedules to improve time management skills among
Grade 8 students. Their insights and suggestions provided me with a well-rounded perspective on the
problem and possible avenues for addressing it.

3. What did you find about the problem in the existing literature (books / articles / websites)?
(10 marks) (Explore books and online resources to know what and how has been already
done regarding this problem)
Time management can be defined as clusters of behavioral skills that are important in the
organization of study and course load. Empirical evidence suggests that effective time
management is associated with greater academic achievement as students learn coping strategies
that allow them to negotiate competing demands. Students are tasked to juggle the work–life
balance without much institutional support, and the way that higher education institutions are
organized tends to lead to peaks and troughs in the student workload (Claessens, van Eerde et al.
2007)
Some studies showed that examining time use efficiency involves three primary assumptions: an
awareness of time, an awareness of the elements that fill time, and positive working habits.
Typically such awareness is developed through self-regulation and the development of goals and
action plans, and it has been found that such time management techniques can lower student
feelings of anxiety although they do not affect clinical conditions such depression (Adams and
Blair 2019)
(Akcoltekin 2015) reported that in today’s fast-paced world, the individual's possibility of using
time efficiently is decreasing day by day. The tasks expected from people at work are increasing
every year and institutions and organizations demand different things from their employees every
day. Additionally, working life is becoming more complicated and the parameters affecting
working life are increasingly changing. All these changes can be tolerated up to a point; however,
that the rate of change is rising in itself reveals the insufficiency of time at a certain level. Given
that every individual has the same amount of time at their disposal, in fact, many complain they
do not have enough time. Yet some manage to do more work compared to others in the same
amount of time.
In today's rapidly changing environment and expanding global competition there is a continuing
and ever-growing recognition on creativity and the management of time. Creativity is considered
as a key to personal and organizational social prosperity; creativity signifies the production of
novel and useful ideas, and marks the starting point for innovation and entrepreneurship. Time, on
the other hand, represents a commodity that needs to be efficiently managed, not to mention that,
more often than not, effective time management is a key indicator of organizational competitive
edge (Zampetakis, Bouranta et al. 2010)

Wajcman, J. (2019) reputed that It was once located that students’ perceived
manage of time used to be the issue that correlated notably with cumulative
grade factor average. On average, it was once observed that time
administration behaviors have been no longer substantially one of a kind
throughout gender, age, entry qualification, and time already spent in the
program.
The Covid-19 pandemic that swept through the world in late 2019 and through
2020 provides a test not just for all societies and their leadership, but also for
leadership theory. In a world turned upside down, when many conventions are
disposed of, it is clear that things will not return to the status quo ante any time soon,
if ever. In the light of these challenges, this short paper suggests we might
reconsider the way governments and their leaders act against the frame of
societal problems, originally established by Rittell and Webber in 1973 (Grint, K.
2020).

and the technique of creating a weekly schedule. Here are the definitions/descriptions of these major
variables/constructs based on relevant literature:

Dependent Variable

Time Management Skills:

In this project, time management was considered the major variable that was examined to assess its
impact on Grade 9 students' academic performance and overall well-being.

Independent Variable

Creating a Weekly Schedule:

Creating a weekly schedule involves the process of planning and structuring one's tasks, activities, and
commitments over a week-long timeframe. It requires individuals to allocate specific time slots for
different tasks, prioritize activities, and create a visual representation of their time allocation. The term
"creating a weekly schedule" will refer to the process of designing and implementing a visual plan that
outlines how Grade 8 students intend to allocate their time over the course of a week. This involves
assigning time slots for studying, activities, relaxation, and other tasks to enhance their overall time
management. A weekly schedule serves as a proactive tool to manage time, enhance productivity, and
ensure that important tasks are not overlooked (Macan, Shahani, Dipboye, & Phillips, 1990).

Q7: How did you try to solve the problem? (10 marks) (Narrate the process step-wise.
Procedure of intervention and data collection)
Certainly, here is a step-wise narrative of how I attempted to solve the problem of improving time
management skills among Grade 8 students at Sabzal High School through the implementation of
a weekly schedule:
Step 1: Observation Checklist
To address the challenge of improving time management skills among Grade 8 students, I initiated
the research project by conducting thorough observations using a structured observation checklist.
This checklist was designed to capture various behaviors and patterns related to time management.
Through this initial phase, I aimed to gain insights into students' existing time management habits,
pinpointing areas that needed improvement.
During the observation sessions, I meticulously noted behaviors such as punctuality, engagement
in tasks, allocation of time, and stress management. This provided a baseline understanding of the
students' current time management skills, allowing me to identify specific areas that required
intervention.
Step 2: Identification of Time Management Skills through Daily Activities
Building upon the observations, I moved to the second step of the process, which involved
identifying time management skills through two distinct daily activities: a math test and designated
game time.
Activity One: Math Test
During the math test, I observed how students allocated their time for the test, managed their time
within the allotted period, and the level of engagement with the test questions. This activity helped
reveal their ability to prioritize tasks, allocate time efficiently, and handle time-bound activities
effectively.
Activity Two: Game Time
In the second activity, students were provided with a specific time frame for leisure, engaging in
games or recreational activities. I observed their approach to this free time, noting whether they
managed it effectively, how they transitioned from leisure to the next task, and whether they
demonstrated signs of stress or relaxation during the activity.
Step 3: Post-Activity Observation
After students engaged in the two daily activities, I proceeded to the final step, which involved
observing the students again to assess any changes in their time management skills. I compared
their behaviors and actions during and after the activities to determine whether the interventions
had any discernible impact on their time management practices.
Data Collection:
Data was collected through detailed note-taking during each observation session. The observations
were recorded systematically, capturing both qualitative and quantitative information. The
observation checklist served as a guide to ensure comprehensive data collection.
Intervention Process:
The interventions were designed to raise students' awareness of their time management habits.
Through the math test and game time activities, students were prompted to consider their time
allocation, engagement, and stress levels. The purpose was to provide them with immediate
feedback on their behaviors and encourage them to reflect on the effectiveness of their time
management strategies.
Data Analysis:
After collecting the data, I analyzed the observations to identify patterns, trends, and changes in
behaviors. Comparing behaviors before and after the interventions allowed me to assess the impact
of the activities on students' time management skills.
8. What kind of instrument was used to collect the data? How was the instrument
developed? (05 marks) (For example: observation, rating scale, interview, student work,
portfolio, test, etc.)
The instrument used to collect data for this research project, titled "Improving Time Management Skills
among Grade 8th Students by Creating Weekly Schedule," was observation. The decision to use
observation as the primary data collection instrument was based on its ability to provide real-time
insights into the students' behavior, engagement with the intervention, and changes in their time
management practices.

Development of the Observation Instrument:

Identifying Observation Focus: To develop the observation instrument, I first identified the key aspects
that needed to be observed to assess the impact of the weekly schedules on the students' time
management skills. This included factors such as punctuality, engagement in study sessions,
participation in extracurricular activities, and signs of reduced stress.
Creating Observation Guidelines: I developed clear and specific guidelines that outlined the areas to be
observed and the criteria for recording observations. These guidelines ensured consistency in data
collection and allowed for a structured approach to capturing relevant behaviors.

Defining Observation Categories: I categorized observations into distinct areas, such as adherence to
the created weekly schedules, effective allocation of time for different tasks, participation in study
groups or leisure activities, and visible signs of reduced stress or improved organization.

Establishing Observation Recording: I established a system for recording observations in real-time. This
involved creating a standardized form or template to document observations during specific time
periods or activities.

Pilot Testing and Refinement: Before implementing the observation instrument with the entire group of
Grade 8 students, I conducted a pilot test with a small subset of students. This helped identify any
potential challenges or ambiguities in the guidelines or categories, allowing for refinements to be made.
