Abstract: Self–related perceptions have turned into an essential subject in education, given its impacts on
students' behavior and academic performance. These self-related psychological perceptions include self –
concept, self – esteem, and self – efficacy. Education in the Philippines represents the ever-changing facets of
life. Augmenting the current educational system through the implementation of the K to 12 curriculums. Thus,
this study's primary purpose was to determine the students' self-concept, self-esteem and self-efficacy, and
academic performance. The respondents of the study were senior high school students. The descriptive-
correlation research method was utilized to describe the respondents' profile in terms of self-concept, self-
esteem, self-efficacy, and academic performance. The null hypothesis at .05 alpha level of significance was
tested to determine the impact of self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy on the students' academic
performance. The computed multiple regression analysis results revealed that self-concept, self-esteem, and self-
efficacy do not significantly affect senior high school students' academic performance. Moreover, it is suggested
that the school personnel and parents monitor and provide the needed support and guidance to their children
while searching for their identities. Also, devise additional programs for their students' proper guidance and
make progress on the learning activities and teaching-learning plan to maximize their learning experience and
boost the students' performance in class.
1. INTRODUCTION:
Self–related perceptions have turned into an essential subject in education, given its impacts on students'
behavior and academic performance. These self-related psychological perceptions include self – concept, self –
esteem, and self – efficacy. Education in the Philippines represents the ever-changing facets of life. Augmenting the
current educational system through the implementation of the K to 12 curriculums. An additional year for primary
education has been implemented, facing the reality that students' workload and financial problems caused most stress
(Essel & Owusu, 2017).
Learned beliefs, attitudes, and impressions of an individual towards oneself best illustrate the idea of self-
concept. According to the study of Emmanuel (2014), he looked into the correlation among the motivation, self-
concept, and academic performance of the basic education students. Results showed that self-concept and academic
performance were significantly correlated.
Furthermore, in the study entitled "Self-Concept, Study Habit and Academic Performance of Students" by
Chamundeswari (2014), the results showed a significant correlation among the students' self-concept, study habits,
and academic performance. Self – esteem is the totality of a person's evaluation of his worth. Mruk (2010) stated the
various ways of defining self-esteem: 1) as an attitude whether it is positive, negative or behavioral reaction 2) based
on discrepancy—on how the ideal-self differs from the perceived self, 3) a person's response towards himself, 4) a
personality.
In the study between self-esteem and secondary school students' academic performance by Bhagat (2017),
respondents studying in government and private schools show a positive but not significant relationship found
between negative self-males and females with their academic performance. Self – efficacy is the perception to do an
assigned task more effectively. It is a positive attitude toward the self that any tasks given could be accomplished
through a person's capabilities.
In Bandura's Social Cognitive Theory of 1994, it was stated that four processes could be affected by self-
efficacy: cognitive, motivational, affective, and selection processes. Self-efficacy significantly affects the cognitive
processes of a person. The more that a person believes in himself, the more that the goal will be more comfortable for
them to be achieved while those who have low self-efficacy focuses on the negative side, and it is more likely that
they would experience difficulty and failure in achieving their goals. With self-efficacy, a person motivates himself
through the goals they set for themselves and how they overcame the challenges while achieving those goals.
Balami (2015) studied the relationship between distance learner students' self-efficacy and academic
performance; results showed that learners' self-efficacy has no significant relationship with their academic
performance.
In this study, the researcher aims to contribute to Psychology and Education by finding the impact of self-
concept, self–esteem, and self–efficacy on senior high school students' academic performance.
2. REVIEW OF LITERATURE:
academic performance is strongly predicted by self-concept. The results revealed a significant correlation between
self-concept, students' academic motivation, and academic performance but found no correlation between academic
performance and academic motivation.
In the study of Gabriel et al. (2009) stated that failure or success in life or schoolwork would depend on how
much individuals feel regarding the attributes and qualities they hold for themselves. It is noted that achievement rests
a lot on the student's self-concept of their ability.
The study of Adom et al. (2014) entitled "Achievement Motivation, Academic Self-Concept and Academic
performance among High School Students" presented a significant relationship between academic performance and
self-concept. The study concluded that a positive correlation was present, although there was no significant correlation
between academic motivation and academic performance.
Furthermore, Bacon (2011) studied the correlation between academic performance and academic self-concept
with African American students with geographic mobility experience as the focus. Results depicted that a significant
relationship is present among the academic performance and the respondents' academic self-concept. It also suggested
that enhancing students' motivation in higher learning continued to struggle as several students' eagerness is deemed
unpredictable.
According to Jen and Chien (2008), a positive effect will occur on a student's accomplishment based on a
student's self-concept within the same learning subject but will negatively affect another. The correlation among the
academic self-concept and academic performance of students had three perspectives. It was proposed in the skill
development model that a positive effect occurs regarding the student's self-concept when academic performance is
exerted. The self-enhancement model states that promoting students' self-concept is necessary to improve a student's
academic performance.
Like the abovementioned study, Anitha and Parameswari's study in 2013 entitled "Correlates of Self-concept
among High School Students in Chennai City, Tamilnadu, India" revealed that academic performance is positively
related to self-concept. Results showed that self-concept is an essential perception of any child's growth and affects as
children slowly gain experience, interact with the community, and acquire individuality. Another study conducted by
Ghazvini in 2011 determined the relationship between academic self-concept and academic performance. Findings
illustrated that there is a close correlation between the variables of academic self-concept and academic performance.
In 2014, Oluwatosin & Bamidele investigated the relationship between self-concept and academic
performance of secondary school students in chemistry. Using a descriptive survey research design, the study revealed
a positive correlation between students' self-concept and academic performance in chemistry. Also, between students
attending public and private schools, it was revealed that chemistry students attending private schools have a higher
self-concept level.
Chohan & Khan (2010) examined parental support concerning education on students' academic performance
and self-concept. The study revealed that parental contribution regarding their children's education positively and
consistently affects academic performance and self-concept. In the study of Musa Matovu (2012), it was shown that
gender (male and female) from different faculties shows significant effort on students' academic self-concept.
In general, self-concept is perceived in the following: education, emotional, and extra-curricular activities.
Self-concept comprises the general systematic acquired beliefs, attitudes, and opinions a person believes is right in his
life, thus defining a positive self-concept which can be achieved through the recognition, appreciation, self-
familiarization, and optimistic rational thinking of oneself. In the lens of educational psychology, the student's self-
concept varies from the teaching methods and focus of educators inside the classroom premise. With those above,
positive self-concept can aid students in academic performances through positive outlooks about themselves (Yahaya,
2009).
In the study of Yahaya (2009), self-concept and interpersonal communication skills on the academic
performance aim to identify the students' levels of self-concept: physical, personal, moral and ethical, behavior, social
satisfaction, and identity; and the interpersonal communication skills that aided in the findings that: self-concept
significantly correlates with interpersonal communication skills. However, contrary to the above, self-concept does
not significantly correlate with academic performance. Also, family upbringing, consecutive failure, depression, and
internal self-analysis can influence one's self-concept (Aziz & Jamaludin, 2009).
Academic self-concept is the distinction of oneself in related academic activities such as subjects, educators,
and educational institutions, while non-academic self-concept is the distribution of oneself in non-academic activities,
like physical self and relativity towards family, friends, and society (Tang, 2011).
According to Nalah (2014), findings revealed an existing significant relationship between students' high and
low self-concept and academic performance. Thus, Nalah (2014) recommended that social indicators (parents,
teachers, government, society) should maximize positive and high self-concept as a social self-concept factor that can
improve students' academic performance. In addition to his study, self-concept is categorized as having both positive
and negative aspects related to students' academics. However, self-concept differs respectively with gender (male and
female), which directly relates to their academic performance.
In the study of Adebule (2014), "Self-Concept and Academic Performance in Mathematics among Secondary
School Students in Ekiti-State," it was shown that self-concept did not affect the academic performance of students; in
which the researchers suggested that the environment should have an understanding that the rate of academic
performance of students does not reveal their self-concept. In support of the study, Laryea, Saani, and Brew (2014)
investigated the influence of self-concept on the students' academic performance. Their study shows that self-concept
does not directly affect the students' academic performance.
The study of the relationship between academic, physical, and social self-concepts of students with the
students' academic performance showed that physical self-concept and social self-concept were not related to
academic performance (Zahra, 2010).
Emmanuel et al. (2014) looked into the relationship between achievement motivation, academic self-concept,
and high school students' academic performance. The study's results revealed that most high school students surveyed
had a high achievement motivation and self-concept and performed well on the Mathematics Achievement Test. It was
found out that there was a positive correlation between achievement motivation and academic performance; their
correlation was not significant.
Chetri (2014) presented a study of adolescents' self-concept and achievement motivation to their academic
performance. The study revealed a non-significant difference among the students' self-concept regarding gender,
locale, and management variation. The same result was revealed for the achievement motivation concerning gender
and locale variation. On the other hand, it is revealed that there is a significant difference between the students'
academic performance regarding locale and management variation. Overall, the two variables of self-concept,
achievement motivation, and academic performance were significant. Yengimolki et al. (2015) examined the
correlation of self-concept and social adjustment with the students' academic performance. This reveals that while
there is a significant difference between genders and adjustments, there is no significant difference between the
respondents' self-concept.
that both procrastination and academic performance have direct and interactive effects on self-esteem have immediate
and intelligent consequences for Self-esteem.
Self-esteem interceded the connections between hesitation and prosperity. Besides, the roundabout impact of
stalling on prosperity using intercession of confidence may fluctuate contingent upon scholarly execution. Discoveries
were talked about regarding related writing, and further proposals have been made for future investigations.
Furthermore, Duru and Balkis (2017) study incorporated the impacts of procrastination; academic performance and
self-esteem on well-being have been researched. The accompanying conclusions can be drawn from the present
examination: (a) procrastination harms self-esteem by interrupting academic performance; (b) confidence interceded
the relationship between tarrying and well-being, and (c) the aberrant impact of dawdling on prosperity by the
intercession of self-esteem is more grounded on account of poor academic performance. This exploration added to the
writing by proposing that dawdling does not have a defensive part for self-esteem. Moreover, it unfavorably
influences students'' self-esteem with their academic performance. The present investigation additionally exhibited
how and when the stalling influences well-being of the students.
In support of the previous studies, Bullare et al. (2017) studied self-esteem, extraversion personality, and
academic performance among children from intact families and orphans. Determining the differences of self-esteem,
extraversion personality, and academic performance among the children from whole families and children who are
orphans, and determining the correlation between self-esteem and extraversion personality with academic performance
among children from intact families children who are orphans are the priority of the study. The findings concluded
that there was no significant correlation between self-esteem and extraversion personality with academic performance.
Moreover, there was an expanding population of orphans. As indicated by Onuoha, Munakata, Serumaga-
Zake, Nyonyintono, and Bogere (2009), orphans mean individuals under eighteen who lost one of their parents or the
two guardians. Numerous components can cause parental misfortune, including parental demise, separation or
partition, and birth before marriage.
Orphans regularly have a more significant duty at home, as they have to help in housework and deal with their
kin's welfare. Thus, they tend to have higher self-sufficiency, self-esteem, and desire when contrasted with youngsters
from the in-place family. In any case, they expressed that parental hardship can drastically bring down a kid's level of
self-esteem.
Naderi, Abdullah, Aizan, Sharir, and Kumar (2009) likewise contended that self-esteem connects with job
success, academic performance, relational similarity, and general bliss. The School of Engineering of Universidad
Tecnológica del Perú in the third term of 2016, studied whether self-esteem and study habits correlate with academic
performance. Their study was descriptive observational, multivariate, or cross-sectional factorial. The study
population comprises of 196 students and the sample size of 86 students. Luis Vicuña Peri's Study Habits Inventory
and Coopersmith Self- Esteem Inventory and the average grades obtained by respondents were used for research
variable measurement. Findings show that self-esteem does not significantly affect academic performance, but study
habits do affect academic performance. (Chilca, 2017)
According to Ogot (2017), his research established that students' academic performance depends on their self-
esteem and current relationships. Their study observed the extreme connection between academic performance and
self-esteem. Students' high self-esteem leads to high grades. Research on students' life satisfaction and its effect on
their academic performance was conducted to examine the literature on the connection between students' emotional
health and their academic performance. Two hundred twenty-three students from a large rural high school in East
Tennessee took a validated survey to assess their level of life satisfaction, and the results were tabulated to their
averages to determine the significance level. There was a positive but weak correlation was found between the
variables (Cagle, 2017).
performance were self-concept and self-efficacy. Self-concept, self-efficacy, and writing performance of first-year
college students were significant with one another. However, self-efficacy are better predictors.
According to Balami's (2015) study, "Relationship between Self-efficacy Belief and Academic performance of
Distance Learners," learners' self-efficacy has no significant relationship with their academic performance.
On the other hand, Awan et al. (2011) stated that lacking motivation as a related concept of self–efficacy was
the root of the weakening of education standards and an obstacle in learning. The motivation was defined as an inner
condition that guides and upholds behavior, and it was inevitable that a strong correlation is present between
motivation and learning.
Furthermore, motivated students with regards to a specific topic are eager to join activities they believe will
help them develop such asking for assistance whenever they do not comprehend a certain aspect of the topic and
paying attention to others' instructions.
Sikhwari (2014) stated that students who lack motivation in learning tend to be indifferent in creating efforts
in learning. There is also a tendency for them to be unorganized with the learning material and maybe unresponsive in
lessons. According to Gesinde (2010), the urge to achieve differs from one person to the other. He also states that
individuals who have role models in their early years that are high achievers tend to gain an excellent desire for
accomplishments compared to those who have low achievers for role models, who tend to foster a desire for
accomplishment barely.
In Qassim University, exploratory research on the impact of the perceived self-efficacy on its students'
academic adjustment. A sample of 150 students enrolled in the institution of the academic year 2016 - 2017. Results
showed that the statistical relationship between the emotional dimension and the academic adjustment dimensions was
not significant. However, a significant relationship was found in fortitude, cognitive dimension, perseverance, and the
general perceived self-efficacy and the academic dimension. (Yadak, 2017)
Furthermore, the students' most apparent aspect in classes is determined by their ability to follow the lesson,
acquire academic experiences, and focus on the information process. Some students find it simple to focus on and gain
the information given. Others cannot do so, and some of them are easily distracted, which hinders their continued
acceptance of the provided educational experience. (Yadak, 2017)
Its impact on the students' behavior and actions are an essential aspect of the learners' personality. It plays an
integral part in leading and determining the student's behavior; he acts based on his thoughts. This means an
interdisciplinary process between the way and how he sees himself; this procedure is referred to as the academic
adjustment. Perceived students' academic self-efficacy proved to have good abilities in; educational adjustment,
struggles, extra efforts, adjustment to the school's extra-curricular activities, agreement with his teachers, less
vulnerability to others disorders, and well-disciplined (Yadak, 2017).
According to Saeid & Eslaminejad (2016), in their research entitled "Relationship between Student's Self-
Directed-Learning Readiness and Academic Self-Efficacy and Achievement Motivation in Students." Self-directed
learning readiness aims are to expand and enhance the learning experience of the students. This is a vital goal of
higher education. Their study utilized descriptive-correlation to 322 bachelor students who were selected from
Payamnoor University of Rafsanjan (2014-2015) through simple random sampling. The use of multiple regression,
simple regression, variance analysis, and T-test was utilized. This research revealed that students' self-directed
learning readiness, academic self-efficacy, and academic motivation have a significant relationship.
Bryant (2017) studied the understanding of 10th-grade students' developmental self-efficacy sources, self-
efficacy source experiences, and academic motivation. A total of 18 student respondents in a 10th-grade public school
at a rural community in a south-eastern state in the United States were interviewed for this research. The research
employed a qualitative method that focused on students' voices better to comprehend self-efficacy sources and their
academic motivation effects. Findings revealed that students depicted their personal belief in self-efficacy based on
the self-efficacy source development that had happened in each student's life, particularly the number of experiences
that students had accomplished.
The descriptive-correlation method was employed in this study. This design was simply the way to describe
individual variables' characteristics as they occur in the natural setting (Gravetter et al., 2009).
3.1 Participants
This study's Respondents were the Grade 12 senior high school students of St. Paul College of Bocaue who
were enrolled for the school year 2018 – 2019.
The study utilized the universal sampling approach since the Grade 12 Senior High School Students
population was not that huge. The participants of the study were the 190 senior high school students.
3.3 Procedures
In achieving the vital results of this study in examining the impacts of self-concept, self-esteem, and self-
efficacy on the academic performance of the Senior High School Students, the following steps were observed in
conducting this research: The researcher submitted a permission letter to the Office of the School Directress to
conduct the study and obtain the respondents' general average. The rapport was set up primarily to the respondents
before the assessment to establish respondents' interest in the activity to get a desirable and reliable result. The
respondents were far from noise and other disturbances. Moreover, the researcher distributed the research instruments
to the respondents. The respondents were given enough time to accomplish the questionnaires. After the students
finished answering the questionnaires, the results were immediately tallied and tabulated. To measure the students'
Academic Performance, the researcher gathered the respondents' general average for the school year 2018 - 2019. The
data gathered were the bases for the presentation, analysis, and interpretation of the findings.
should be noted that they sometimes perceive the negative side of themselves in the social skills and personal
characteristics areas.
Overall, the respondents recorded a computed mean score of 3.83, which is interpreted as average. This
would mean that the respondents have moderate levels of positive self-concept who are aware of the totality of
themselves as individuals. This awareness of the self is essential because, as stated by Nalah (2014), the self-concept
is the individual's reference points about himself, the set of characteristics, attributes, qualities and deficiencies,
capacities and limits, values, and relationships which determines his identity.
Self-esteem is regarded as the individual's belief towards the self's perception, which may be positive or
negative. It is a crucial human thought process that all individuals attempt to secure and improve. This involves the
uplifting of one's cognitive faculty towards the idea of the self is referred to as high self-esteem (HSE), while negative
attitude is referred to as low self-esteem (LSE)(Rosenberg's Theory of Self-Esteem, 1965). Based on the Coopersmith
Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI) by Stanley Coopersmith, table 2 shows the summary of the study's self-esteem.
Based on the data presented in Table 2, it can be gleaned that about 82.63% to 91.05% of the respondents'
self-esteem are likely characterized by being able to take care of him/herself, doing the best work they can, their
parents expect much from them and being able to make up their minds and stick to their decisions. There were 135 or
71.05% who can make their minds without too much trouble and 74.74% or 142 feels that they are fun to be with.
Also, 153 or 80.53% who feel pretty happy while 146 or 76.84% are likely to understand themselves. About
145 respondents comprising 76.32% are pretty sure of themselves, and 74.74% consider themselves to be much fun to
be with. On the other hand, the majority of the respondents feel that they are unlikely to be a failure (92.63%), often
get discouraged in school (90.53%), do not like being a boy or a girl (90.53%), do not care what happens to them
(85.26%) and have low opinions of themselves (80.53%). The data would mean that there are indications that the
respondents have positive self-esteem, who are happy with who they are, relates well with others, feels optimistic
about the future, and are confident of their abilities.
Self-efficacy is one of the psychology concepts, plays an essential role in actual behavior, and often has been
considered in multiple areas and education disciplines. The progress in self-efficacy and to identify affecting factors
on it affects the academic performance of students. It is considered as competence and the ability to cope with life's
challenges. The extent or strength of self-efficacy is based on one's belief in one's own ability to complete tasks and
reach goals (Ormrod, 2006). Bandura (2004) has defined self-efficacy as one's perceived ability to surpass specific
situations or accomplish a goal. Table 3 presents a summary of the respondents' profile of self-efficacy.
Based on the data presented in Table 3, it can be gleaned that the respondents' self-efficacy beliefs obtained
mean scores ranging from 2.65 – 3.26, interpreted as high self-efficacy. These would mean that the respondents
perceived themselves as being able to manage to solve difficult problems if they try hard moderately enough, find the
means and ways to get what they want when someone opposes them, stick to their aims and accomplish their goals,
confident that they could deal efficiently with unexpected events, resourceful who know how to handle unforeseen
situations, can solve most problems when they invest the necessary effort, remain calm when facing difficulties,
usually find several solutions when faced with problem and when in trouble, they can usually think of a solution and
handle whatever comes their way.
Table 4 presents the academic performance of students. Based on the data presented in Table 4, it can be
inferred that the most significant percentage of the students (46.3%) belonged to the group with very satisfactory
grades, followed by 36.8% of the respondents with satisfactory grades. It is also significant to note that about 15.3%
or 29 out of 190 respondents have outstanding grades. Furthermore, only one among the respondents recorded fairly
satisfactory and did not meet the expectation.
In support of the abovementioned study, Bullare (2017) studied self-esteem, extraversion personality, and
academic performance among intact families and orphans. Results revealed that there was no significant correlation
between self-esteem and extraversion personality with academic performance. Further, a study on the correlation of
self-esteem and study habits on the academic performance of 86 students from the School of Engineering of
Universidad Technologica del Peru; findings suggested that self-esteem does not significantly affect academic
performance, but the study habits do affect academic performance. (Chilca, 2017)
Likewise, Balami (2015) quantified the relationship between self-efficacy and distance learners' academic
performance. His study suggested that learners' self-efficacy has no significant relationship with their academic
performance.
5. DISCUSSION:
The research's principal goal is to evaluate the self-concept, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and academic
achievement of senior high school students. The purpose of this research is to explore the effect of these expectations
on their academic success. Thus, this analysis used the descriptive-correlational analysis approach to define the
respondents' profile in terms of self-concept, self-esteem, self-efficacy, and academic success. The research also
established the magnitude of impacts that occur between and within the variables in this study. Specifically, it
established the substantial influence between the self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy of the respondents on
their academic success.
The respondents had average favorable self-concept ratings that were mindful of the entirety of themselves as
individuals. However, they often viewed the derogatory aspect of themselves in cognitive abilities and personal
characteristics. The respondents had positive self-esteem, were satisfied with who they were, had a strong friendship
with others, were hopeful about the future, and were enthusiastic about their skills.
The respondent's self-efficacy was at a high degree, which described them as being able to overcome tough
challenges if they worked hard moderately enough, found the ways and means to get what they needed when they
were opposed, kept to their objectives, and accomplished their goals, optimistic that they could cope successfully with
unforeseen incidents, resourceful who know how to do it. Thus, the importance of self-concept, self-esteem, and self-
efficacy in academic success was measured using Multiple-Regression. The statistical study's effects suggest that self-
concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy are not significant.
Furthermore, the psychological consequences of this study were: high school students were still in the process
of searching for their specific identities; their degree of self-esteem and self-efficacy could enable them to achieve
successful academic performance; self-esteem and self-efficacy in their pursuit to achieve their goals in life was an
uplifting mechanism and a key to the process of human thought;
6. CONCLUSION:
Several studies consider self-related perceptions, such as self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy, as
significant determinants of the students' academic performance. Indicators such as leaned beliefs, a person's evaluation
of his worth, and the belief to perform a given task effectively categorize the self-related perceptions.
Self-related perceptions as a general impression towards the self should be enhanced through the school's
environment and learning activities. Despite that, it can be assumed that higher self-concept will not predict excellence
in academic performance; either way, students' academic performance does not reflect on their self-concept. Likewise,
it should be noted that the respondents were still in the process of searching for their unique identities. Further,
students need extensive educational learning experience from the school and their environment to harness their skills
and develop their self-efficacy.
In particular, the researcher has reached an understanding that parents, teachers, and academic institutions
should acknowledge the importance of self-image, self-confidence and self-worth that students of our present
generation need to improve. This would greatly help the senior high school students under the K-12 curriculum with
the additional two (2) years to their primary education; and the stress from their workload (Essel and Owusu, 2017). In
this quest, esteem needs and personal worth would help them do their best to surpass this new curriculum's challenges.
Strengthening these self-related perceptions may drive them to be an achiever and excel in their college life. Further,
this may help them to be responsive and successful in their future chosen career.
Further, the students were still in the process of developing their sense of identities, manifested moderate
levels of self-esteem, and high self-efficacy. These may be attributed to their families' upbringing, the excellent
curriculum, and practices that the institution had brought to them. The level of academic performance showed that the
mean score of the respondents' academic performance was very satisfactory. Moreover, there was no respondent
whose grade did not meet the expectations of the institution. This suggests that the respondents performed well in
class.
Moreover, it is suggested that the school personnel and parents monitor and provide the needed support and
guidance to their children while searching for their identities. Also, devise additional programs for their students'
proper guidance and make progress on the learning activities and teaching-learning plan to maximize their learning
experience and boost the students' performance in class
