Tardiness is the most problem and highly consequential for individual In the study, in the
examined the tardiness is the difficult situation for everyone because as we conduct a
survey and ask a some question about tardiness, is sometimes the reason is sleeping late at
night, late to go home and difficult to sleep because of the disorder of insomnia and also
one is using internet especially the students. The result of a survey is in the 10% of the most
difficult is late to go home because of the work and also in school our chosen respondent
were students and workers
We all know student are always have their work in school like school Project,
Reporting, group presentation, assignment and other extracurricular. That’s why they are
tired when they are get home. and also to all have Job a because they are doing the order of
their boss and they need to communicate other people they met in a nice and good way
and most often they did not eat well because instead to eat they wanted to sleep to take a
rest in every minute to have an energy for tomorrow , we also identified the negativity of
internet and society to individual
C. Introduction
When a student arrives late for the class, it’s disruptive for other students and the
teacher. An occasional tardiness is understandable. But if a student is habitually late for
class, it shows a general disrespect for others. Punctuality is an important habit to get into
because it is a requirement of any job that the student may get in the future. Punctuality
also is an indication of dependability and reliability. Strive to have a nurturing and
supportive learning environment even without the restrictive rules that schools have.
However, to provide the best education for students, it is necessary to have some rules
and guidelines.
The term “class tardiness” has been defined as students coming late, not attending
lecture on time, missing out initial time from the first period, and primarily not being
present in the time set. One of the major causes of lateness is going to bed late because it
could result in waking up late and insufficient rest for the lesson on the next day. Besides,
lateness is caused by innate anxiety level of an individual. As stated, there are no positive
incentives to be on time as students assume that there will be no constructive activities
happen for the first five minutes of the class. The lack of functional and effective
punctuality policy, too, causes tardiness. As there are no immediate consequences for
being tardy and nothing will happen until the tenth incident. Many researchers have
indicated that class tardiness is a serious issue.
 a. Significance of the Study

It is hoped that this study will add to the body of knowledge on student tardiness in the field
of education, specifically, educational leadership. During the past decade researchers have
examined student dropouts and student absenteeism as viable means of predicting student
success or failure. Caldwell, Huitt, and Graeber (1982) found that little mastery of skills can be
achieved by student when the record reflects high level of absences. Upon investigation of the
subject of student tardiness, it was found that few authors have examined factors impacting on
student tardiness. Revelations of the impact of tardiness, may give parents, teachers, and students
new weapon in the effort to increase academic success. With the findings from this
study,administrators, parents, teachers, and students may be able to develop strategies that are
desired to alleviate or minimize tardiness. This study, therefore, could also reveal information
that will be beneficial in changing students' attitudes towards tardiness.

Scope and Delimitations of the Study

The study is focused on the effects of tardiness among the College students of City of Malabon
University. It includes the characteristics of College students, tardiness that College students
could do to them if it becomes a habit and the suggestions of College students on how to sleep
and wake up early.

The respondents of the study were be the College students at ages of 19-25 years old of the City
of Malabon University

The study started on July 05, 2017 and ended on September 04, 2017.
b. Review of Related Literature
This chapter contains the gathered researches from the different sources. They were
used as guide to the research study. The related literature starts with the importance of
tardiness and goes on with possible effects that might happen when being tardy. In
the later part of the chapter are the gathered articles and case studies done by various
researchers.

Definition of Tardiness

It is when people don’t show up on time. It is referred to the habit of being

late. Because of tardiness, some students almost never arrive at school or other places
when they’re expected. Tardiness is very annoying for other students waiting for the
tardy person. Too much tardiness to school could make a student get lowest grade and
missed lessons.
According to CAESC (2007) and Zeiger (2010), the most essential learning time of
the day for the lies in the morning, specially between 7:00 to 8:00 AM. It is because
the students are most mindful and observant at this time of the day. It is also the
reason why the most important lessons and subject matters are discussed during this
time. So when students are late or are not present during this time of the day, they, in
effect, miss out most of the important lessons to be noted and learned.
According to Louella D. Desiderio entitled “Businesses urged to use Internet to push
products”. It shows that businesses are advised to use the Internet for promoting their
products and services as more consumers are going online to research before making
purchases. Companies should consider using online advertisements for the products
and services they offer as more and more people are using the Internet to research
goods they plan to buy before making the purchase. It also states that in the
Philippines, the study showed that around 70 percent of consumers first make a
research of their purchases online even if they purchase offline. This trend shows the
potential of growing the business by going online.It is related to the study because it
informs businesses that online advertising is very effective. It also shows that whether
small or big businesses, they can easily have the benefits of online advertisements of
reaching users at a time of relevance anywhere. (April 07, 2017).
The foreign studies contains gathered information or researchers in the other country.
According to Donald Medley, Homer Coker, and Robert Soar (1984) describe
succinctly the modern history of formal teacher evaluation–that period from the turn
of the twentieth century to about 1980. This history might be divided into three
overlapping periods: (1) The Search for Great Teachers; (2) Inferring Teacher Quality
from Student Learning; and (3) Examining Teaching Performance. At the beginning
of the twenty-first century, teacher evaluation appears to be entering a new phase of
disequilibrium; that is, a transition to a period of Evaluating Teaching as Professional
Behavior. The Search for Great Teachers began in earnest in 1896 with the report of a
study conducted by H.E. Kratz. Kratz asked 2,411 students from the second through
the eighth grades in Sioux City, Iowa, to describe the characteristics of their best
teachers. Kratz thought that by making desirable characteristics explicit he could
establish a benchmark against which all teachers might be judged. Some 87 percent of
those young Iowans mentioned "helpfulness" as the most important teacher
characteristic. But a stunning 58 percent mentioned "personal appearance" as the next
most influential factor.
According to Arvil Barr's 1948 compendium of research on teaching competence
noted that supervisors' ratings of teachers were the metric of choice. A few
researchers, however, examined average gains in student achievement for the purpose
of Inferring Teacher Quality from Student Learning. They assumed, for good reason,
that supervisors' opinions of teachers revealed little or nothing about student learning.
Indeed, according to Medley and his colleagues, these early findings were "most
discouraging." The average correlation between teacher characteristics and student
learning, as measured most often by achievement tests, was zero. Some
 characteristics related positively to student achievement gains in one study and
negatively in another study.

c. Research Problem/Question
The study will seek answers to the following questions:
1. Does College students experience being late to class?
2. What are the reasons of College students for being tardy?
3. What are the effects of tardiness in the study habit of College students?
4. What are the assistance needed by College students to avoid tardiness?
5. What are the activities of College students which are responsible for their
tardiness?
6. What time do College students sleep when they have class tomorrow?

D. Methodology

This chapter provides the information on what methods, instruments and the subject of the study
the researchers used. Also the different data gathering procedures and the statistical treatment
period.

a.Participants/Data Source

b.Data Gathering Procedure and Instruments

For additional, informations the researchers read their books, journals, magazines and surfed
internet about the effects of tardiness, especially about its effects on college students of first year
of City of Malabon University and some respondents who were interviewed and collect more
information about effects of tardiness before the preparation of one survey instrument.

Self-made survey questionnaire was prepared for use in gathering data. It is divided into 4
(four) parts. The first short note of respondents, secondly in the general instructions that
were given, third is about their personal information and lastly are the questions about the
effects of tardiness on college students at City of Malabon University
d. Data Analysis

Table 1 Present the Frequency and Percentage Distribution of College Students of City of
Malabon University According to Gender.

According to Gender.

Gender f %

Male 106 41

Female 150 59
Total 256 100

It could be deduced from the table that there were 59% female students and 41% males ones.

The data showed that there were more female students than the males. It means that enrollment

of females is bigger than the males. In addition, the bigger number of female students is due to

the drop out of male students for the S.Y. 2017-2018. Moreover, the more students also means

that females are by nature desirous to found their career by obtaining degrees. In addition,

females are more industrious to study than males as females priority is to study than males.

Sometimes males are not interested in their studies, because of lack of interest in the subjects.

According to the respondents of this research, waking up early in the morning is what

they find the hardest part of coming to school which might possibly the reason of their tardy

attitude.

It shows from Table 2 that there were 43% who are 16 years old which ranked 1. 27% were

at age 17 which ranked 2, 21% were below 20 years old which ranked 3, and 9% were 19 years

old which ranked 4. The data show that there are more 16 years old students than the other age. It

means that many College students are 19 years old.

Based on the survey questionnaires, many 19 years old students signed up they agree to

avoid tardiness.

It can be viewed from the table that there were 72% students who experiences being late to

class and only 28% did not experience being late to class. It appears that a big number or

majority of the college students experienced being late to class.

According to Mr. Adrian Scott the number of students who are presenting as chronically late

for school, and we also have many who are missing significant chunks of time each week. The

following advice is adapted from an article published last week and clearly explains how

frequent lateness to school impacts on our children’s well-being and their learning. We all run

late sometimes. For your child, arriving late to school occasionally won’t cause major disruption.

Inevitably, children will feel sick or tired some mornings, or other situations will prevent them

from being on time. But chronic lateness eventually takes its toll on a child’s overall educational

experience.

Glancing at the table there were 34% who answered that they lack of interest in the subject

which ranked 1, 35% said that they lack of self-confidence which ranked 2, 16% lack of sleep

which ranked 3, and 14% who were irresponsible which ranked 4.

The data show that there are more respondents who answered that they lack of self-

confidence than other reasons such as lack of interest in the subjects, lack of sleep, and

irresponsible. This means that College students of T. C.M.U lack of self-confidence. This means

that they have a feeling of lack in their abilities, qualities and formality.

It shows from the table above that 42% of the students failed to take the quiz which ranked

1, 33% got the lowest grade which ranked 2, 31% missed their lessons which 3, and 25% were

not able to attend their subjects which ranked 4.

According to the students who were interviewed they failed to take the quiz that caused

them to obtain to low grades and their parents are disappointed with them.

According to Mike Allen we are using a quiz as a formal exam. As such I have set the

attempts to allow only one. If a student’s fails to achieve the required grade (75%). I would like

the teacher to allow the students to retake, but the first attempt scores must be kept. I could set

multiple attempts, with say 24 hours before retaking. The trouble with that a students could

retake the quiz without approval, and more important a students who passed, but not well, could

have a second go in order to try and improve their result.

As seen from the table above that there were 45% who answered that they above using

cellphone everyday which ranked 1, 42% did too much homework which ranked 2, 25% they

hold chores which ranked 3 and 10% said that they did daily exercises such as jogging, walking,

running and stretching which is ranked 4.

The data show that there are more respondents who answered the use of cellphone everyday

that cause their tardiness than doing too much homework and other causes like do household

chores, and daily exercise such as jogging, walking, running and stretching.

This means that the students of City of Malabon University are using cellphone everyday

for being tardy which shows that they become addicted to the social media like Facebook,

Instagram and etc.

It could be noticed from the table that there were 29% answered 10 p.m. which ranked 1,

23% answered 9 p.m. which ranked 2, 21% said 11 p.m. which ranked 4, 21% said 8 p.m. which

ranked 5.

The data show that there were are more Grade 10 students of T. Paez Integrated School

who sleep at 10 p.m. than more who sleep at other time.

So we anticipated that their class performance has something to do with how

much rest they had.
E. Results and Discussion
Based on research we had conducted, and the survey of our research, we find out
the results for our objectives. The main factors of being tardiness of the students is using
their cellphone at night and also late to sleep therefore when they go to school sometimes
they are tardy and the most difficult reasons is they cannot go to school because of what they
are doing. Ourselves has ultimate responsibility for managing our time and has a
responsibility for taking ourselves and give the priority of what is the most important for us.
Based on what we had conclude the both male and female are has the same issues of being
Tardiness.

As a whole it can be conclude that Tardiness is the most problem or issues that can be
solved if the students, Parents and also a teachers work together to overcome the tardiness issues
in the future.

Discussion of the tardiness that we had conducted the purpose of our study was to find out the
factors that influence students being tardy to their class. As well, this study helps the
management of the university, especially in overcome the problem of being tardy among
students particularly in the class. And the whole university of the school

In addition, we also take the responsibility of in given awareness to each students on the
future impact the attitude of those who prefer not to attending in the class and take it easily and
mostly the effect of this problem when it continuously happen to individual especially to the
students

F. Conclusions
The most common reason on why the students of the City of Malabon University are tardy is
ana experience being late to their class it because using cellphone everyday like Facebook,
etc

Recommendations

To the next researcher’s, give advice to our co-students for being tardiness. Which students
come to class late, it can disrupt the flow of discussion. Because there are a respondents of
possible reasons students arrive to class late. Advice to them for best solution to our co-students
for being tardiness on class or school.
