Economic and Social Deficiency: Their Influence on Students’ Academic Performance
Abstract
This study ascertained to find out relationship between economic and social deficiency and their influence on education students’ academic performance at West Visayas State University-Janiuay Campus, School Year 2014-2015. The descriptive-correlational method was used with academic performance as dependent variable and economic and social deficiency as independent variables. The participants were the 266 students selected through stratified random sampling. Data were gathered through questionnaire-checklist and Grade Point Average. The statistical tools used were frequency, rank, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's r computed through SPSS. The results show that the top three predominant economic deficiencies are inability to join in school activities; inability to pay for photocopy of hand outs and other reference materials; inability to spend any amount for snacks/lunch. Likewise, the top three most social deficiencies are understanding community norms; having social perception, making choices and self- monitoring; perceiving how others are feeling and sharing empathy. Further, education students have a “moderate extent” social deficiency and the overall performance was “very good”. Moreover, a negative correlation but no significant relationship existed between economic and social deficiency and between social deficiency and academic performance. The economic deficiency and academic performance revealed a positive and no significant relationship.
