THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE

Introduction

This study examined the student who are having a higher grades of

their studies knowing their qualities of how they doing very well to their

classroom. The goal of a student is to have good grades and to

acknowledge some other students, this time we are going to estimate the

top student of a school on how they are habits of their study by knowing how

they make use of their time on what why they achieving it and deserves to

have a rewards.

Consequently, the schools in the Philippines making to strengthen their

practice on group activities and the ability of those students find them worth

doing not only academically but socially. Parents with small families offer their

children greater intellectual and educational advantages, like the more

siblings in the family the more diluted parent’s attention and material

resources by (Blake in 1991) with that many students are not focus learning. In

fact, Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School, as a public

Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School-Senior High School Page 3

institution, are also making rewards to the student who are deserve to be

rewarded. Mostly top students are scared to have failing grades that are why

we need to know their weakness. However the school is giving a fair to those

students that deserve to be on top not just in their classroom. According also

to Entwisle and Alexander, (1995) these are all activities that reinforce values

education and supplement learning.

The student’s engagement also considered to make a requirements

task of the teacher. It also involves the requirements to be pass on time this is

the one of the doing of a top students it also has a consideration for those

student who are late on deadline of the requirements it seems also others

student having are grapple with many issues in their lives. They are generally

critical to success in schools, considered essential for acquiring the grades

and useful for learning throughout one’s life. Some of the top students are

making double time on their work as fast as they can and nurtured their

selves to enhance their ability of the use of a knowledge of the student.

Therefore the habits of some top students to think there determination to

study by achieving their goal how they work hard and focus more on the
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School-Senior High School Page 4

knowledge they have and pursuing how excellent they done and how they

make use their ability.

According to Crow & crow (1979) a child’s attitude towards his works

affects worthwhileness in his activity like how they do their task properly that is

how also important of the top students for their grades.

The habits of a top students are regularly practicing on how they

performs to maximize their productivity, efficiency, retention in preparation

for a particular evaluation. To organize and have a plan for what they are

going to do and how their work make sure as always like having the activities

in the school. The relationship between sleeping and learning is often

disregarded by busy students but those at the top know the importance of

this essential element of the learning process.

performed .And it is the choice of a person to study or be distract on social

Media.

According to Hoyle (1986) he argued that schools are established

within the aim of imparting knowledge and skills to those I who go through

them and behind all this idea of enhancing good academic performance.

Academic performance and the achievements of a student is the outcomes

academic excellence based on this which is also prevalent worldwide has

encourage many studies about the conditions promoting. The role of

academic achievement as predictors of one life success and also in the

Furthermore several studies have found a moderate to strong

negative correlation between academic procrastination and academic

performance (Van Eerde, 2003). Time consumed of every student's is

depending on the tasks, such as preparing for exam and doing homework to

the last minute an feel discomfort out of a this (Capan,2010). Those are the
