Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
Rationale
There are many different types of co-curricular activities that students can
do inside the school, as well as outside of it that can help or change the students'
academic performances. It had been two years since the pandemic was experienced
which changed students' learning. The face- to-face class is back, but has not been fully
implemented because there are almost no co-curricular activities that can be anchored in
the school's academic curriculum. Co-curricular activity is any hobby, sport, musical
academic study. So in this research Study, we are focusing on the activities at home that
can be done by the students that can have an effect in their academic performances and
those activities are the following: Sports, browsing the internet, using phone in playing
online games, watching television, reading traditional books or printed reading materials
educational setting. The three objectives of the educational interaction are cognitive,
emotional, and psycho-motor. Academic success is the end consequence of the learning
process. The researchers want to inform that the co-curricular activities do not only take
place inside the school but also take place outside the school, just like in our homes. They
may include hobbies and social, sports, cultural, or religious activities. They have some

character appeal of the students. This study focused on the types of co-curricular

performances of students. The students want to know whether or not the co-curricular
activities of the students are doing well or not in today's time to show the progress of the
academic performances of the students. In today's generation when students are mostly at
home, researchers want to unite or discuss the possible co-curricular activities of students
that they do at home or when there are no classes that impact their academic
performances. The researchers also want to discuss or study how much time students
spend in their co-curricular activities and how they connect it to their academic
performances.
In this study, the researchers aimed to determine some of the different co-
curricular activities that can be done at home that affect the academic performances of
students. One (1) advisory class of Grade 6 students in three (3) elementary schools in
Maria Aurora was the respondent of this study. This study focused on the effect of co-
on students engaged in the co-curricular activities. The study aimed to identify whether
the co-curricular activities had a possible effect on the academic performances of students

that can have an effect in their academic performances and those activities are the
following: Sports, browsing the internet, using phone in playing online games, watching
television, reading traditional books or printed reading materials and using social media
like facebook.
In today's time when co-curricular activities that are anchored in the school's
academic curriculum are not regularly carried out, this research only wants to show that

activities to student academic and social development while in school and beyond.
Additionally, according to Holt, Sehn, Spence, Newton & Ball (2012), with
supervised co-curricular activities, students are guided towards appropriate behaviors and
activities while being challenged to help develop competencies and confidence. Human
beings learn many things by doing or experiencing. Students who excel in co-curricular
activities may improve themselves for real situations. The study sought to investigate
objectives of the study were: to investigate the relationship between students’ co-
curricular participation perception and their academic performance and to investigate the
performance. The study was guided by the perception theory of Kurt Lewin as espoused
by smith. (2014)
We all know that one of the co-curricular that can student engaged is the sports. We all
know that participating in sports has been known to improve the cognitive and memory
functions of the brain, helping kids perform better in tests and academics.
Sports and its associated competitions across the globe have made participation in
sports appealing to several others in various parts of the world. It is asserted that, inside a

activity is a key factor in promoting healthy lifestyles among students who engage in
sporting activities. Through sports, students learn social and cognitive skills. A student
who partakes in sporting activities is believed to have a sound mind and thus, the
likelihood for him or her to excel in his or her academics is very high. Generally, Bailey,
Hillman, Arent, and Petitpas (2013) also identified that students’ participation in
sports is associated with a cluster of benefits including: social, mental and cognitive
wellbeing, and academic performance. When participating in multiple sports, the student
is exposed to more coaches or role models (Quora, 2016). However, there are also studies

that 13 students who dedicated large amounts of time to their athletic endeavors lacked

Though social media can increase student learning through student interactions,
challenges arise when social media are incorporated into an academic course. The
assumption that students are familiar with and agreeable to using certain types of social
encouragement necessary to support student usage and learning (Cole, ; Väljataga &
Fiedler,). Arnold and Paulus (2012) found that even when social media is used for an
educational purpose, students incorporate the technology into their lives in a way that
may differ from the intentions of the course instructor. For example, off-topic or non-
academic discussions occur on social media because of its primary design as a social
networking tool (Lin et al., 2013). Further, as a student’s age increases, the frequency of
off-topic discussions also increases (Lin et al., 2013). This indicates that while social
media may encourage broader discussions of course content, older students may spend
more time than younger students engaging in unrelated discussions. Social media can
also negatively affect student GPA as well as the amount of time students spend
preparing for class ; Junco, 2012b). One explanation for this impact
is that social media provides too much stimulation and therefore can distract students
from completing their coursework (Hurt et al., 2012;). Another reason for this may be

"Experience and Education" (John Dewey, 1938) serves as a foundation piece of literature when
developed.
The teacher's role is to organize this content and to facilitate the actual experiences. The
experiences are based on the capabilities and readiness of the learners. The quality of the
experience is the primary component of the theory. Upon completion of the experience, learners
have the knowledge and ability to apply it to differing situations. Thus, they have created new

be used on the study. The questionnaire contained the profile of the respondents and
questions about the subject matter. The survey yielded different perceptions and opinions
of students about the effect of the co-curricular activities in their academic performances.
This was also the basis of the researchers to determine the overall result of the study.
The first part inquired about the respondents’ profile. The researchers adapted a
tool that would determine the name, sex and the age of the respondents. Second part was
intended to determine the different co-curricular activities that the respondents do and to
determine how many hours they spent in a particular co-curricular activity outside the
the academic progress and the hour they spent in a particular co-curricular activity. In this
part also, it was to identify if co-curricular activities influence the academic performances
of students.
The researchers first asked the approval to conduct the study from their adviser,
then to the Program Coordinator of the College of Education before carrying out the
questionnaire. After being approved and ready to conduct the study, the researchers

The researchers found out that social media had a high number of weighted mean
because students nowadays has social media platforms that they use daily. On the other
hand, reading books had the lowest weighted mean so the researcher concluded that
students had more interest in using social media platforms than reading printed materials.
The results revealed that social media was the highest co-curricular activities that
students do in their everyday life. It meant that the respondents had a lot of time to use
the social media platforms and had not devoted time with reading of books. The
researchers concluded that students had more time using their phone chatting with others
than reading.
