CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

INTRODUCTION

In the world full of challenges especially in life students, nowadays part time

work for students is a very common phenomenon. Those who have suffer for lack of

financial support for their studies and some lack of government support, applying for

part – time job is a way to lightly support heavy financial crisis (Robotham, 2012).

A part-time job interferes with school in many situations. Even if the job is

held after school and on weekends, many beneficial extracurricular activities operate

at times that do not conflict with education. Most employers are hardly willing to a

busy student's schedule. When students do successfully plan out-of-school events in

accordance with a work schedule, hours of school followed by hours of work and

hours of homework may be overwhelming for high school students. All of this

considered, a student will sacrifice homework and actually be encouraged not to

participate in school clubs and sports if working part-time (Rhalis, 2016).

Many high school students are entering the work force. Students are

becoming more and more eager to start working and become independent. Although

beneficial balance of school and extracurricular activities as well as employment can

be productive, it is very difficult to maintain. If a student is intending on going college,

he or she should only very minimal and flexible employment (Rhalis 2016).

Many students are wondering whether they should get part-time jobs or not,

depending on their different opinions. Some people say that the main task of

students is studying hard so that after graduation, they may get a decent degree,

which offers them a better opportunity for well-paid jobs (Hamilton, 2016).

Many research studies have investigated the impact of having part – time jobs

in the academic performance of a student. However, few studies have examined if

and how impact of having part time jobs affects students. In this exploratory, survey

questionnaires will be used to conduct survey and gather information. In this context,

the aim of the research is to examine the views of the students about having part –

time jobs and its impact to their academic performances (Collins, 2015). Specifically

the researchers focus on the impact of part-time jobs in the academic performance

of selected students of Jacinto P. Elpa National High School.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Walberg and the theory of educational productivity. One variation of the

Carroll model is Walberg’s (1981) theory of educational productivity (Walberg, 1981).

This model includes nine factors hypothesized to affect the learner’s cognitive, as

well as affective, outcomes. These nine factors include (a) ability or prior

achievement, (b) age, (c) motivation or self-concept, (d) quantity of instruction, (e)

quality of the instructional experience, (f) the home environment, (g) the classroom

or school environment, (h) the peer group environment, and (i) the mass media

(Walberg, 1981). Walberg’s model extends beyond earlier models of academic

learning by examining out-of-school influences and social-psychological variables

(Wang, Haertel, & Walberg, 1993). The first five variables that reflect student

aptitude and instruction are found in other educational models, including Carroll’s

(Walberg & Tsai, 1985). The remaining variables involve the educationally

stimulating psychological environment, both within and outside the classroom

(Fraser, Walberg, Welch, & Hattie, 1987).

The first three variables in Walberg’s model (ability, age, and motivation) can

each be seen as internal traits to the learner or student aptitude (Fraser et al., 1987).

Ability or prior achievement, for Walberg, includes factors that can be measured by

“the usual standardized test” (Walberg & Tsai, 1985; p. 159). These factors would

include the learner’s aptitude, ability, and IQ, as well as previous achievement (Keith,

2002). Walberg has assessed this variable using students’ mathematics, science,

and reading cognitive subtest scores on the National Assessment of Educational

Progress (Walberg et al., 1986; Walberg & Tsai, 1985; Reynolds & Walberg, 1991;

1992)

For Walberg the age variable includes chronological age, but also

development and stage of maturation (Keith, 2002). In his research Walberg has

attempted to keep the age variable as a constant. Motivation or self-concept, in the

Walberg model, is operationalized as scores on personality tests of the student’s

willingness to persevere intensively on learning tasks (Walberg & Tsai, 1985).

The next two variables, quantity of instruction and quality of the instructional

experience, examine instructional factors (Fraser et al., 1987). Quantity of instruction

is described as the amount of time students engage in learning (Walberg & Tsai,

1985), including the time scheduled, allowed, or assigned for a given instructional

unit by the teacher, as well as the fraction of this time the student actually spends

learning the content (Walberg, 1981). Walberg and his colleagues have measured

quantity of instruction through reports of weekly homework and class attendance

(Reynolds & Walberg, 1991; 1992). In addition, this variable has been measured

through effective use of class time, interruptions during class, and teachers’ ability to

gain students’ attention quickly (Mathiasen, Lomax, Schiller, and Walberg, 1984).

Others have measured quantity of instruction as time on mathematics homework in

school and outside of school (Ma & Wang, 2001).

Quality of the instructional experience includes psychological and curricular

experiences, and can be seen as the appropriateness of the instructional experience


Repulic of The Phillipines
CARAGA Administrative Region
Tandag City Division
JACINTO P. ELPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Capitol, Hills, Telaje, Tandag City, Surigao del Sur

(Reynolds & Walberg, 1992). The quality of instructional experience variable has

been measured using a 4-point Likert scale. The scale is used to assess the

instructional focus of the teacher in areas such as teaching lab techniques, including

conducting experiments, and requiring written reports (Reynolds & Walberg, 1991;

1992). Also assessed are the amount of homework number of semesters of science

class (Walberg et al., 1986); if the teacher tells students they are right or wrong,

teacher reviews lessons, students report that they understand the teacher

(Mathiasen et al., 1984); and students report that the teaching is good in their school

and that the teacher offers praise (Ma & Wang, 2001).

The final variables: home environment, classroom or school environment,

peer group environment, and mass media, are characterized as environmental

factors (Fraser et al., 1987). Home environment refers to the support given to

students while at home. It has been measured in various ways, including family

interest in school and in science (Mathiasen et al., 1984), parental education

(Reynolds & Walberg, 1991; 1992), number of times the dictionary is used at home

(Walberg & Tsai, 1985), and home socioeconomic status (Ma & Wang, 2001;

Walberg et al., 1986). Classroom and school environment, including classroom

morale (Keith, 2002), refers to the classroom as a social atmosphere and has been

measured through access to classroom materials (Walberg & Tsai, 1985) and the

percentage of students who continue toward a bachelor’s degree or take additional

science classes (Reynolds & Walberg, 1991; 1992). Others have measured

CARAGA Administrative Region
Tandag City Division
JACINTO P. ELPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Capitol, Hills, Telaje, Tandag City, Surigao del Sur

classroom and school environment through student reports of feeling put-down by

the teacher or by other students in the classroom (Ma & Wang, 2001).

Peer group experience refers to how well students get along with each other

outside of the school environment (Walberg & Tsai, 1985). Measures have included

how important schooling and good grades are among friends (Ma & Wang, 2001),

peers seeing themselves are good students, planning on attending college, and

doing well in science (Reynolds & Walberg, 1991; 1992). The mass media variable

refers to the minimum leisure-time television viewing (Walberg & Tsai, 1985; Ma &

Wang, 2001), and the reading of books or magazines (Reynolds & Walberg, 1991;

1992).

Walberg and his colleagues have tested his model in a national sample of

high school seniors (Walberg et al., 1986; Reynolds & Walberg, 1991; 1992) and

found the included variables to be good predictors of learner achievement across

gender and race. While the initial Walberg model of educational productivity involved

a simple structure with each of the nine factors independent and in a single order

(Walberg, 1981), a more complex distal-proximal model has been found to

demonstrate better fit in subsequent studies (Mathiasen et al., 1984).

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDY

RELATED LITERATURES

FOREIGN

In recent years, there has been a widespread phenomenon that tertiary

student, both domestic and international, do part time job after class schedule.

Generally, students do casual works such as in restaurants or fast food chains.

Available literature opines that the impact of part-time work on academic

performance is different for domestic students from that of international students.

This happens because of the difference of familiarity of work culture between the two

group of students. New Zealand government promulgates relevant decree to impose

restrictions on students working hours. Current regulation allows an international

student to work maximum 20 hours per week (Ali, 2017).

There are two opinions regarding the impact of part time work on students’

academic performance. One group of researchers claim that students gain work

skills and experience from job, other group believe that spending too much time on

job distract students from study which contributes to poor academic performance in

school. But whether the impact of part time work would be positive or negative on the

students’ academic performance depends on the balance of time between work and

study. The research study analyses how part time work affects tertiary students’

academic performance with particular focus on international students (Ali, 2017).

According to Akib Khan (2015), in his study entitled ‘’The Effect of Part – time

Employment on Academic Achievement from Dhaka University’’, academic interest

in estimating the impact of part-time employment on academic accomplishment

blossomed in the early 1980s. Steinberg et al. (1982) found that first-time workers

spent less time on homework and had lower GPAs (from a sample of California

10th and 11th graders). On the contrary, on the basis of National Longitudinal

Survey of Youth (NLSY) data (covering the period 1979-1982), D’Amico’s (1984)

estimations suggest that working up to 20 hours a week was correlated with

improvements in class rank and mitigated dropout rate. In addition, working beyond

20 hours per week was found to have no association with class percentile, but was

responsible for a rise in dropout rates – though for only a very few subgroups.

Similar estimates were obtained by Schill et al. (1985), who estimated that those

working less than 20 hours per week had higher GPAs as opposed to those who did

not work or worked more than 20 hours(Khan, 2015).

LOCAL

In a blog of Karl Nicole Nucum about, “Balancing job and academics as a

working student in the Philippines” (2018), he describes the life of working students

as a truly daunting task. Wherein one must keep up of juggling work and academic

requirements and side – hustles while keeping your family, social, or love life.

In one article of The Philippine Star online, it is mentioned that the worker

needs to be good in the performance of his or her job, so that he or she may

keep the job. Moreover, at school it is important for the student to do well, too, in

order to justify the hard-earned money spent in his or her studies (Freeman, 2016)

According to an Inquirer featured article, learning how to manage time –

Skill and experience that a paid job offers can substitute for pure academic

knowledge. In that case, part-time employment may be conducive to decreasing the

amount of time available to improve academic achievements, thus having a negative

impact on GPA. Higher work intensity may also work towards decreasing academic

productivity by causing fatigue and/or distraction. Job earnings often increase the

possibility of being exposed to addictive consumption goods. Thus short-run gains,

financial or non-financial, can be prioritized over investments in education. On the

other hand, engagement in part-time job(s) is also capable of complementing

academic dexterity via developing confidence, diligence, efficiency, time-

management capability and responsibility. In addition, time spent working, at least,

substitute for the leisure time during which they had a higher probability of being

engaged in illegal, unethical or counter-productive activities (Dhaka Group 9, 2015).

Part-time employment is increasing among high school students. Does this

phenomenon affect academic performance? In an attempt to examine this


Repulic of The Phillipines
CARAGA Administrative Region
Tandag City Division
JACINTO P. ELPA NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Capitol, Hills, Telaje, Tandag City, Surigao del Sur

relationship, data were collected at Moore High School, Moore, Oklahoma.

Information included employment status, number of hours worked per week, extent

of extracurricular activities, and ACT test scores of the 477 high school juniors who

were enrolled in regular required English classes. The sample included 196

nonemployee students and 281 employed students. This study found no significant

differences in accumulated GPA in the two groups. However, nonemployee students

scored significantly higher on the ACT test. The only variable that showed a

significant difference in school-related activity was extracurricular activity

involvement. Employed students had fewer extracurricular activities, with girls

reporting less participation than boys. The findings of the study do not show that

employment among students has any significant negative impact on academic

achievement. Also, students in the survey tended to view their part-time employment

in a positive light. The authors believe that teachers need to be aware of these

conclusions and more supportive of employed students (Green & Jacquess, 2015).

Prior research suggests that undergraduates employed during term time are

less likely to graduate. Using transcript data from a large multi-campus university in

the United States combined with student earnings data from state administrative

records, the authors find that traditional-age students who worked for pay during

college on average earned more after leaving college than similar students who did

not work. This post-college earnings premium is on par with the benefit from

completing a degree, even after controlling for demographic and academic

achievement characteristics, across various student sub-groups, and including

models that account for selection bias. Implications of these findings for theories of

education and social stratification, and for educational policy are considered.

The majority of today's undergraduates (62%) work for pay while enrolled in

college (Carnevale et al., 2015). A large research literature (summarized below) has

focused on the short-term consequences of working during college—on grades,

number of credits taken, and graduation. Such studies have predominantly reported

negative effects from student employment (Neyt et al., 2017). This paper argues that

prior research has largely overlooked an important aspect of the working student

phenomenon. Examining a longer period and focusing on earnings after

college reveals a substantial positive aspect of student employment during college.

Analyses presented below indicate that undergraduates from a public

university system who worked for pay during college had substantially higher

earnings years later after, compared to counterparts who were not employed while

enrolled. This long-term economic benefit associated with paid employment while in

college held for women and for men; for racial/ethnic minorities; for community

college as well as 4-year college entrants; for those who had no work experience

before starting college; and most notably even among those who did not complete a

degree.

A substantial post-college earnings premium associated with working during

college was observed in models that addressed selection effects, as well as in

conventional regression analyses. Moreover, this wage premium was not a reflection

of college majors, or of academic performance, since models that controlled for

these covariates also showed the benefit. Finally, the earnings advantage was

evident from immediately after leaving college until data collection ended 15 years

later.

(De Guzman & De Castro, 2015) graduates need to develop personal skills,

qualities and experiences that enable to them to compete in the labor market. The

author advises the need for students to do everything they can for them to grow as

experts in their chosen field while they are still in school. All these trainings and

experiences will just benefit them where the time comes that will be establishing their

own careers. This is related the present study as it gave suggestions to further

improve the AB Journalism curriculum which must live up to demands and

expectations of the different industries. The Philippines may go beyond the standing

of employment in the country, rights and importance should be understood. As

specified in the book Labor Economics by Cristobal M. Pagoso, in view of low

literacy rates in rising unemployment in developing countries, it has become

imperative that greater educational opportunities should be provided for the great

proportion of adult population as well as the large number of youth outside the formal

school system to help them acquire further knowledge and skill thereby improving

their livelihood and strengthening the country. From the book Contemporary Social

Problems and Issues, it states that the educational levels and literacy rates of

workers in the Philippines are among the highest in Asia, but technical, manual and

managerial are poorly developed and in short supply. There is an over-abundance of

college graduates that most especially in Manila area were in the field of education,

law and other professionals exceed in demand to find employment appropriate to

their educational training. This information may be considered in the improvement

of AB Journalism curriculum to add the technical; manual and managerial skillswhich

are said to be lacking among the Filipino graduates.

(Mercado, 2015) conducted a research study on job-related stressors as

correlates to teaching performance. In their study, all faculty members of the College

of Science who have undergone evaluators of their teaching performance of their

respective students were the subjects of the study. Based on the result of the study,

the researchers concluded that the major factors affecting the burnout inventory of

students are: emotional exhaustion (teachers and students are tired out at the end of

the day); depersonalization (teachers students do not want to stay in the campus

after the class) and; reduced Personal Factor (students feel frustrated with their

work). Meanwhile, the major factors that affect the job-related stressors are; physical

facilities (the rooms and laboratory cannot accommodate the students);

organizational structure (funds and other benefits for teachers and students are not

immediately released causing them.

SYNTHESIS

Students of undergraduate students reveal conflicting conclusions regarding

relationship between impacts of having part –time job to the academic performances

of students. Although (Ali, 2017) found that both domestic and international, do part

– time job after class schedules. (Ali, 2017) found that one group of researchers

claims that students gain work skills and experience from job, other group believe

that spending too much time on job distract students to study which contributed too

poor academic performances in school.

Steinberg et al. (1982) found that first-time workers spent less time on
