REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

This Chapter presents the related literature and studies to be used as further reference

for the research.

Related Literature and Studies

A famous quote by doctor Jose Rizal is “Kabataan ang Pag asa ng bayan”, in English

“The youth is the hope of the nation” (emaze). Here’s another one of his quotes “Filipino

don’t realize that victory is the child of struggle that, joy blossom from suffering and

redemption is a product of sacrifice”. According to Aspire training team (2024). It builds

knowledge and understanding of a subject which help prepare you for your future.

However some students didn’t make it they failed their grades. According to the

(typeset.io) students with low grades tend to have lower Self esteem which can lead to the

decreased motivation and engagement in academic task. Moreover according to the LinkedIn

( 2022) a child’s attitude toward struggle in order to accomplish his goals is strengthened by a

good and effective educational process. However, a number of obstacles to education prevent
a child from performing well academically. A child’s personality may suffer as a result of

these factors, which can be either physical or psychological. On the another hand according

to (Jonas bunte.com). A low grade might signal student they that they need to study harder

and devote more time to this course resulting in improved performance in the second-half of

course.

Some studies Show that academic success can be influenced by multiple factors that

can be student-related, social-related, and School-related. However, the presence of these

factors does not in any way, eliminate a student’s responsibility For his or her own success.

According to Brew et al. (2021), teachers and researchers have long been interested In

investigating variables contributing to the quality of academic performance of learners.

Academic performances. Is affected by many factors including parents’ education levels and

income, teachers’ knowledge of the subject, Truancy, textbooks availability and accessibility,

libraries, practical laboratory, meals provision and many other factors. The family is also a

valuable factor that influences a student’s academic success. The family is where the

individual builds up their manners, values, and morals. According to (cram) Family is also

where socialization is mostly affected for an individual. According to Coltrane, family is

defined as “a group of two or more people who reside together and who are related by birth,

marriage, or adoption” . And it is the first place, to everyone to start a life from a womb to a

human person. We’re they can freely dream something for their lives. However it is also a

factor, that make students lives tougher. It called family problem or a broken family sadly

some students experience this factor and it’s hard for them. In such a young age they faced to

be their own, and feel so anxious stress about what’s happening in theirs daily lives.

According to verywellmind (2023) “A broken family is one that includes unhealthy or

severed relationships within the family unit,” explains Anderson. “They are often associated
with divorce but whycertainly can occur in an intact family where various members are in

conflict with or estranged from each other. That is one of the most experienced factor. It

affect the focus of the student thinking about the certain issue.

The second mostly experienced factor is the, Financial problem. According to

(startquestion). Significantly, financial problems were found to affect academic performance,

with many students experiencing a decrease in motivation to study and difficulty

concentrating in class. This correlation between financial problems and academic

performance emphasizes the need for intervention and support. Furthermore, according to

typeset.io (2023). Financial instability can negatively affect students’ academic performance

by limiting their access to resources such as stationery, textbooks, and transportation, leading

to poor attendance, lack of concentration, and inability to meet financial needs. Moreover

according to helpguide. Org(2024). Like any source of overwhelming stress, financial

problems can take a huge toll on your mental and physical health, your relationships, and

your overall quality of life. Feeling beaten down by money worries can adversely impact

your sleep, self-esteem, and energy. Financial problem affect students academic

performance, it because of lack of financial they couldn’t be able to attend their classes.

The next factor is being a slow leaner, based on the statement of the student of grade

11 gas they mostly answer is being slow at leaner. According to (ijamtes)The slow learners

have a short attention span with which they cannot concentrate for long time. They have the

problem of short memory and they do not remember what they learn. They get bored easily

and develop no interest towards learning process. Meanwhile according to hopscotch (2020).

Slow Learning – Causes, Slow learners tend to learn slower and are, in most cases, unable to
retain what they learn. They also have a very short attention span. Learning does not happen

incidentally for slow learners and they have to be directly taught. And they cannot link one

learning to another unless specifically told. Furthermore according to spectrum learning.

Slow learners: Characteristics and TipLack focus, short attention span. Weak in auditory

and/or visual processing. Unable to learn or complete assignments on their own. Functions at

ability but significantly below grade level. Some students says that they were to shy to stand

up and do something during class. Other says that they were afraid of being wrong and being

laugh by her/his co-student.
