(70) any courses selected students of Lanao central college incorporated in Marawi City on the

challenged faced by the undergraduate working student of Lanao central college incorporated.

A. Demographic Profile of the Respondents

The respondent's demographic profile includes the following: age, gender, civil status,

courses and monthly income, respectively.

Table 1

Frequency and Percentage Distribution of the Respondent's Age

Age Frequency Percentage

Below – 20 years old 17 24.28%

21 – 25 years old 46 65.71%

26 – above years old 7 10%

Total 70 99.99%

Table 1 presents the frequency and percentage distribution of the respondent's age. As

percentage of 24.28%; there are forty-six (46) respondents aged 21 - 25 years old with a
percentage of 65.71%; and there are seven (7) respondents aged 26 – above years old with a

percentage of 10%.

The table reveals that great majority (46 or 65.71%) of the respondents are 21 - 25 years

old. The findings implied that age is an important factor, those teenagers is a special group who

are uniquely exposed in determining the difficulties in surviving the college life. In this case of

age ranging from 21 - 25 years old, is considered to be the age of college students as a legal age

of deployment in a working student or part time job.

Table 2

Frequency and Percentage Distribution of the Respondent's Gender

Gender Frequency Percentage

Male 34 48.57%

Female 36 51.42%

Total 70 99.99

Table 2 presents the frequency and percentage distribution of the respondent's gender. As

shown in the table, there are 36 respondents with female gender having a percentage of 51.42%

and there are 34 respondents with male gender having a percentage of 48.57%.

The table reveals that there is a high proportion of female compared to the male

respondents. It implies that majority (36 or 51.42%) of the college students who engaged being a

working student or part-time job while attending in school were female. Female population is

more dominant in male that's why in this table female has the high proportion than male.
 There are many reasons for the increase in student employment. Some of the reasons why

more students working while attending college are: earning money for covering basic essentials

or related expenses (Callender, 2008), relieving the financial burden of parents (Hall, 2010),

improving the network with managers, employees, and customers (Curtis, 2007).

Table 3

BSCE 12 17.14%

BEED 11 15.71%

BS-AGRI 6 8.57%

BSCS 8 11.42%

Total 70 99.97%

Table 3 presents the frequency and percentage distribution of the respondent's courses.

As shown in the table, there are 23 respondents attending the course Bachelor of Science in

have a 8 respondents having a percentage of 11.42%.

This table reveals that many (23 or 32.85%) of the respondents who were taking working

or part-time job outside the school parameters while attending classes were the social work

students. It implies that being a working student or part-time job has an impact on the academic

performance of the social work students due to the course they've chosen. This course has a lot of

activities inside and outside the school campus which the social worker students tend to take the

part-time job as a working student.

Table 4

Frequency and Percentage Distribution of the Respondent's Civil Status

Civil Status Frequency Percentage

Single 64 91.42%

Married 6 8.57%

Total 70 99.99%

Table 4 presents the frequency and percentage distribution of the respondent's civil status.

As shown in the table, there are 64 respondents were single having a percentage of 91.42%, only

six (6) respondent is married having a percentage of 8.57%.

It reveals that almost (64 or 91.42%) of the respondents were single because they are

more dominant than those married students. The research is all about the working college

students that's why single respondents are higher than those other civil status. It implies that the

working students who are engaged in a part-time job are single by status.
 The trend of employment among university and private, students has been increasing

rapidly in the last decade. Some suggest that economic reasons are mainly the factor for this

trend. With an increase in the number of students taking part-time job outside campus, its effect

on students’ academic performance of students has been questioned by many researchers (Green,

1987). Issues such as the number of hours worked, whether the student’s jobs pertain to their

majors, and student’s workloads (Watanabe, 2005).

Table 5

Frequency and Percentage Distribution of the Respondent's Family Monthly Income

Monthly Income Frequency Percentage

₱500 to ₱1,000 47 67.14%

₱2,000 to ₱5,000 17 24.28%

₱5,000 above 6 8.57%

Total 70 99.99%

status which is under the poverty line.

Conclusion

As a result of the study conducted, the researcher concluded that being a working student

part-timer has a negative impact on the part of the students to their academic performance in

school this is the one but not the most challenges being a worker and student but it helps them to

cover the financial problems of the students in school expenses. Working student or Part time job

has a negative impact on the academic performance of the students due to poor time
management. It is difficult for them to separate the schooldays and workdays as a result of

absences in class discussions.

The researcher also found out that according to the responses of the respondents, the

grade result was affected. They got a lower grade for having no preparation in attending

examination as an output of their study habits.

Recommendation

In line with the findings and conclusions of the study, the researcher prepared

recommendations as a guide for succeeding endeavors on the field as follows:

1. The school faculties should give consideration to the working students and allow

them to pass the late submission of project, assignments and other discussion matters.

2. The part-timers or working students must be responsible in terms of time

management to manage the schedules for schooldays and workdays. They also

informed their school teachers about their transactions outside the campus in order

for them to be aware of it.

3. The researcher recommends that the school Administration needs to give a special

attention to the poor students in terms of some opportunities such as scholarships and

services.

4. The Commission on Higher Education should prioritize the students who are under

poverty line with low socio-economic status for working students, non-working

students to have a chance in pursuing the study.
