The problem

Background of the study:

Students from the twenty-first century are more aggressive and easily

to fall into vices. vices are commonly one of the concern challenges that

as of now people internationally are experiencing, nor people in towns and

national capital cities have undergoing through and even to our locality.

The youth Students tend to have a higher rate in involving to vices that

are serious problems that needs to be confronted to alleviate its effects.

According to Department of Health there are many cases that involves vices

that starts at an early age. They saw this data on the 2015 Global School-

Based Student Health Survey that consisted of students who was 13 to 15

years old. This may be caused by peer-pressure, mass media, curiosity. This

is where vices enter their life and start to change it slowly. Until they

started getting used to the vices and continued it until now. Which leads

to several negative effects to students especially on their academic

performance.

A vice is a practice, behavior, or habit generally considered immoral,

sinful, criminal, rude, taboo, depraved, or degrading, deviant or perverted

in the associated society. In more minor usage, vice can refer to a fault,

a negative character trait, a defect, an infirmity, or a bad or unhealthy

habit. Vices are habits that aren’t beneficial to individual. Vices of

students can be too much usage of gadgets, online games addiction, smoking,

drinking too much alcohol, etc. Students are much practicing that kind of

behavior and tend to abuse freedom.

The researchers have chosen to conduct this study because the

researchers also encountered some vices and its effect are very alarming.

This research seeks to study and explore the negative effects of different

kinds of addiction to the grade 12. The researcher wants to inform that

involving into vices is not good especially that they’re going to be

college soon. This study can help to formulate any prevention especially

for students.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURES

This chapter contains a summary of the study's conceptual and research

literature. Related results from previous research are explored in order to

pave the foundations for the current study's future outcomes. Various vices

are not recommended for senior high school students because they cause

public issues and may result in personal shortcomings.

According to a study conducted by Researcher A in 2012, 56 percent of

senior high school students are involved in various vices. According to the

writers, youth must be mindful of these topics. They also dwell on the

repercussions of multiple vices.

According to Researcher B's 2015 study, 58 percent of senior high

school students are interested in multiple vices. Because of today's

youngsters, the number is rising. Because of their interest, many students

are inspired by their peers and engage in various vices. Social pressure,

escapism or interest, and a lack of parental supervision are the primary

reasons why students indulge in vices. The implications of these vices will

take several forms. It can be either positive or negative, and it can be

either short-term or long-term. The typical solution to this issue would be

improved police presence, strict parental guidance, or the school can hold

a monthly seminar/meeting about the detrimental impact of these vices on

students and notify the city government. Parents can be mindful of their

educational, moral, and family roles.

Conceptual Literature

Procrastination is the robber of time, according to Springer

Encyclopedia (2010). In the mid-twentieth century,

procrastination meant someone who put things off over and over again and

achieves nothing. Procrastination is a normal human behavior in which

people put off starting or finishing vital tasks. Despite this, behavioral

psychologists have only given procrastination a cursory glance. The

philosophical underpinnings of procrastination are first discussed in this

entry, with a specific emphasis on the relation between procrastination and

self-efficacy for self-regulation, particularly in the sense of academic

success.

Adolescent procrastination is studied in a variety of environments,

with an emphasis on cross-cultural backgrounds and special needs pupils.

Treatment for academic procrastination is discussed in the final segment,

as well as prospective study directions. The student's worst enemy is

procrastination. Procrastination is a cancer that eats away at a student's

success, and we're in the midst of exam season.

According to a report by Eneza Education Articles (2013), absenteeism in

school is the practice of not attending classes without having a valid or

reasonable excuse. Absenteeism is a type of truancy that has a negative

impact on student success. Many factors lead to absenteeism, including

phobic puberty, a lack of interest, teacher approach, pampering, private

couching, illnesses, school infrastructure, and entertainment. Absenteeism

can lead to depression and, as a result of the time spent away from school,

to a lower level of education. It could also result in spiritual decay,

leading to substance addiction, early pregnancies, and disorderly behavior.

Chronic absenteeism, according to the results, lowers math and

reading performance, lowers educational participation, and lowers social

engagement. As a result, this report adds to the body of information about

how an understudied element of missed school impacts students' academic

success. Absenteeism may be induced, if a student does not want to attend;

these absences are usually voluntary and intentional, while other absences

are situational, where students must leave school due to their personal

circumstances, such as needing to travel regularly; these absences are

often beyond a student's control and are an unavoidable decision; student

absenteeism often starts in.

In this regard, the articles and encyclopedia listed above are

important to our ongoing research analysis of student vices and academic

achievement since they indirectly exposed the shortcomings of student

procrastination and absenteeism in school matters. As a result, it has a

significant impact on students' academic success and provides them with a

sense of a principle lit analysis.

Research Literature

As of the study of ACADEMIC PROCASTINATION: PREVALENCE AMONG HIGH

SCHOOL AND UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS AND RELATIONSHIP TO ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT

(2015) conducted by Janssen Jill, Procrastination is a common occurrence

that is mostly inevitable due to the thousands of projects that we may be

working on at any given moment. Procrastination, on the other hand, has

been discovered to be domain-specific. Academic and employment, daily

activities and responsibilities, fitness, recreation, family and

partnership, and social contacts are all areas where people procrastinate,

according to researchers. Each domain has a particular prevalence rate, as

well as associations with other structures, causes, and outcomes. As a

result, each area should be examined separately in order to fully

comprehend its features, implications, and theoretical approaches. People

who procrastinate academically can be mindful of their acts consciously or

unconsciously.

Furthermore, “intentionally halting or deferring work that must be

completed” is the most widely accepted term for academic procrastination.

Academic procrastination is similar to general procrastination in that it

is associated with reduced self-efficacy and life satisfaction, as well as

greater stress and mental wellbeing. However, research has found that

academic procrastination has a greater effect on an individual's well-being

than the other realms, and is linked to depression, anxiety, and

embarrassment, as well as irrational thought and poor self-esteem. Academic

procrastination has a negative effect on academic performance, resulting in

poor marks, misconduct, and lower GPAs.

Based on the study of CAUSES AND OF ABSENTEEISM IN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

AND ITS EFFECTS IN THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE (2016) conducted by Alghamdi et

al. The term absenteeism has been defined as the conscious and deliberated

action of been away from the physical space of the University classroom

conditioned. Students must assist in class on a daily basis in order to

receive professional instruction and achieve positive academic results.

From the educational, societal, economic, and personal perspectives,

absenteeism in school is regarded as a first-order challenge. A research on

the reasons of absenteeism was produced in order to determine the key

factors that affect the decision to not assist in class. Different classes

of students and teachers were responsible for the study's design.

It also supports the findings of the research report by including

considerations such as proximity of observation and presence of professors

in universities and schools, as well as obligations. The association

between absenteeism and academic grade is clearly manifested and

influenced, according to statistical evidence.

In this regard, the research study mentioned above is relevant to our

ongoing review of student vices and academic success because it impliedly

revealed the incommodity factors manifesting in student procrastination and

absenteeism in school matters. As a result, it has a significant impact on

students' academic success and provides them with a sense of study

analysis.

Theoretical Framework of the Study

Theory of Cognitive Developments of Jean Piaget (1936) states "

Intelligence changes as children grow. It occurs through interaction of

innate capacities and environmental events." Theory of cognitive

development explains the development of thinking in human being from

infancy to adulthood. Constructivist Theory of Lev Vygotsky (1962) was

propounded by Jerome Bruner in 1966 (Olorode and Jimoh,2016) states "People

construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through

experiencing things and by reflecting on those experiences." Vygotsky

believed that learning is a collaborative process, and that social

interaction is fundamental for cognitive development. While his other

Theory of the Zone of Proximal Development states " Children are learning

from co-construct knowledge. Therefore, the social environment in which the

children learn has a massive impact on how they think and what they think

about." Latent Learning Theory was coined by Edward Tolman states "An

organism learns due to some stimulus in the environment which elicits a

specific response from an organism." Latent learning theory explains

learning from observation and without any obvious reinforcement. In this

theories, it is assumed that the students' cognitive development results

from observational processes and the social environment. Where the students

learn how to smoke, drink alcohol, gamble, internet/video games ,and drugs

through the influence of other people from his or her environment usually

the parents, friends, neighborhood ,and peers. Having vices can produce a

"rush" - feeling of relaxation,euphoria, election ,and election and

enhanced sense of well-being. Anxiety, depression, shyness,social

awkwardness, and stress are relieved temporarily. Those are some advantages
of having vices. But too much of everything is not good for their health

and also for their studies.

Conceptual Framework

This study was anchored by Absenteeism Workplace Theory 2014 by Federica

Cucchiella, Absenteeism is the term generally used to pass on to impulsive

employee absences from the workplace. Many causes of absenteeism are

legitimate personal illness or family issues for example, but absenteeism

also can often be traced to other factors such as a poor work environment

or workers who are not committed to their jobs. If such absences become

excessive they can have a seriously adverse impact on a business’s

operations and ultimately its profitability. A component model of

organizational commitment was used to study job withdrawal intentions

turnover and absenteeism. Affective commitment emerged as the most

consistent predictor of these outcome variables and was the only view of

commitment related to turnover and to absenteeism.

The theory above relates to our present study since it tackles about

absenteeism which is the main contributor why students in school of Lyceum

Northwestern University Grade 12 student of Stem 5 are not maintaining

consistently their academic performance. Also, it emphasize the

shortcomings of absenteeism that can affect a student’s academic

performance in school.

Significance of the study

The study deals with vices of Science, Technology, engineering, and

mathematics class number 5 in Lyceum Northwestern University and its effect

to the student’s academic performance. Considering that vices are hard to

resist especially during the juvenile stage of a person, thus the results

from this study will be of great benefit for the following;

Students- This study will be beneficial for the students to raised

awareness on how vices can affect their studies and to be educated on how

to quit or avoid having vices.

Parents-this study will provide information to the parents regarding on how

vices can affect their children’s academic performance. Also, this will

help them to guide their children on how to manage their vices.

Teachers – the results from this study may enlighten the school teachers on

why vices can affect the student’s performance in class. It can also help

to determine an effective teaching strategy to enhance the student’s

capacity to manage of their vices.

Future researchers – The outcome of this research study may be beneficial

for those future researchers having a similar stud. This study may be one

of the bases that a new theory in learning will arise

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

The scope of this study is to determine whether the students vices such as

procrastination and absenteeism affects the academic performances of Grade

12 Stem 5 students of Lyceum Northwestern University. This study delimits

to the respondents of the study. Where all Grade 12 Stem 5 students that

are enrolled in the school year 2020-2021 are only allowed to participate

in this research, for whom they often intentionally delaying their work

that is needed to respond as earlier and to themselves who aren't attending

in school classes consistently are included to this study.

Definition of terms

Vices - is a bad habit or a moral failure. Drinking alcohol, smoking

cigarettes, and gambling in card games these are all examples of typical

Methodology
Research design
Quantitative design will be used in this study. In this research, survey-
questionnaires will be used obtain the needed data and to determine the
effects of vices to the grade 12 stem 5 students of the Lyceum Northwestern
University.
Locale and population of Data
The research work was conducted at Google form which is a site that use to
make surveys.
The researcher used the entire population of the Grade 12 Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Section 5 of Lyceum
Northwestern University (L-NU)-Senior High School (Shs) The population is
composed of 46 students.

Data gathering instrument

The collection method used for this research study is survey questionnaires
to the participants from Grade 12 Science Technology Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM) Section 5 of Lyceum Northwestern University (L-NU)
Senior High School (SHS).
Prior to the conducting of interview, an approval from the respondents was
assured.
Upon their approval, the researchers began sending survey links that
contain questions that are related to the study. The researchers provide
some choices to avoid misunderstandings and confusions.
The kind of survey can provide multiple perspectives at a time. It allows
the researcher to explore issues which emerge during the conversation. In
other words, the researcher did not only focus on discovering answer to
specific questions but was also able to delve further into related issues
that could enrich the data of the study.” The survey allowed the researcher
to explore the of the participants. In preparation for the survey, the
researcher had the following three main guiding questions:
1.What are the vices of the participant?
2.What cause these students to take the bad vices?
3.How do vices affect you as a student?
Responses from the participants during the survey were recorded through
online website (Google form)
Statistical treatment of Data
The researchers will tabulate and analyze the data to be gathered after the
collection of data with the use of percentage frequency distribution and
weighted mean treat and evaluate the questions under study. to treat and
evaluate the questions under study. First, the researchers will use the
percentage frequency distribution to tabulate the gathered data and
determine the frequency of each response. Using this statistical treatment
would display the data that specifies the percentage under each question.
The percentage of demographic profile of the respondents will be determined
which includes the age and gender.
The percentage will show the percentage of the respondents. The given
formula below will be used to tabulate the frequency and percentage
distribution.
f
%= x 100
n
Where:
% = percent
F= frequency
N= Total number of respondents
The researchers will likewise use the weighted mean to break down
the gathered data in problem number two. The weighted mean (weighted
average or scaled average) is used when we consider some data values to be
a higher priority than other valued thus, we want them to contribute more
to the final "average”.
Weighted mean formula is a type of average wherein weighs are assigned to
individual values in order to determine the relative importance of each
observation. The relevance of each number is called weight. Weighted mean
is calculated by multiplying the weight with the quantitative result
related with it and afterward adding all the products together.
