    Correlation of sports involvement to the academic performance of student athletes
    (2015-12-14) Buenaventura, Mark P.; Hilado, Ervin John Mikel D.
    The hard choice of dividing their time between studying and participating in their respective sports has been faced by student-athletes since time immemorial. This study aims to help student-athletes in this decision making process. To be specific, this paper tests the hypothesis that when student–athletes invest more hours into their sport, their academic performance is negatively affected. The hypothesis is tested by looking into the number of training hour per week as a basis for sports involvement and the General Weighted Average (GWA) as a basis for academic performance of student-athletes. The study observed 183 student-athletes from UP Diliman, and using Ordinary Least Squares regression analysis, the correlation of sports involvement and academic performance was seen. Different factors like high school background, number of units taken, college, hours of training, sex, time of training and others were taken into account as well. The results show that there is a negative correlation between academic performance (GWA) and sports involvement (number of hours) which means that as the numbers of hours in of training increase, the GWA decreases, meaning higher grades are attained. In line with this finding, it is recommended that more variables be taken into account for a more precise study, and that the UP Administration make certain changes that would cater to the improvement of a student-athlete’s athletic and academic performance.

    Education, spending as a factor of students' academic performance in the Philippines
    (2015-12) Gutierrez, Jomil Adrielle M.; Dominguez, Sharayah Nicole R.; Mendoza, Maria Nimfa F.
    Education has been considered as one of the most important means of human capital investment. This can be observed in the Philippines, where the country’s continually increasing budget allocation for education further emphasizes its priority as a national investment. The researchers thus proposed the problem statement: “To what extent is education spending a factor for basic academic performance in the Philippines?” To answer this question, the researchers ran a fixed-effects regression on the high school academic performance of 16 regions in the Philippines from the years 2006 to 2010 to evaluate if the education spending significantly affects the achievement of the students. The results showed that the education budget has a small yet positive effect on the students’ achievement. Other factors that affect students’ achievement are the socio-economic variables and the school competition variable.

    A study on the disparity among the students and their academic performances
    (2011-10) Docena, Amel Nestor B.; Nono, Hannah Kirstin N.; Pernia, Ernesto M.
    There are many factors that affect a student's academic performance. The differences differences in these factors lead to a disparity in academic performance among students which has a large bearing on their What careers. What Is this disparity? Is it the time a student devotes to studying, or is it because of facilities and resources available to a student, or is it simply all a matter of An or a self-fulfilling prophecy? An econometric evaluatioQ. Of the effects of the different Students of academic performance was undertaken. University from five Philippines, Diliman of the University of the Philippines, Diliman were interviewed for the study. A total of forty-eight variables Overall General Weighted Average as explanatory variables while the Overall General Weighted Average (GWA) as of last semester of academic year 2010-2011 was used as the dependent variable. These explanatory variables consisted of demographics, time management, and satisfaction ratings on school and teaching resour~es, home, and student's self- evaluation and amount of time spent in academic and non-academic activities. The study finds that the amount of time a student spends studying outside class hours, the time he spends on extra-curricular activities, and even the Rather, spent for family bonding and household chores seem to have little to do with academic performance. Rather, the study suggests statistical evidence showing the significance of type of high school a student graduated from, his/her high school average, and how he/she perceives him/herself in explaining (in variations in academic performance among students, at least from the five UP college8. Noteworthy is that a student's favorable self-perception (in terms of doing his/her best) seems to be a~ important positive predictor of one's academic performance.

    Effects of college admission and retention policy on student performance and the incidence of overstaying
    (2002-10-21) Canlas, Mark Emmanuel L.; Miranda, Lory Jane S.; Tan, Edita
    This paper looks into the effects of college admission and retention policy on student performance, as measured by student effort, and the incidence and length of overstay. The study is focused on graduates of three colleges from the University of the Philippines, namely College of Education, College of Engineering and School of Economics, who entered the university through the UPCAT in 1995. Effort is indicated by the effort gap, the difference between predicted grade and actual grade of students while the incidence of overstaying and length of overstay is indicated by subtracting the stay of the student in the university and the expected duration of the program from which he graduated. It was established that college retention and admission policy affects its ability to demand effort and the incidence and length of overstay.

    The internal efficiency and effectiveness of state colleges and state universities in the Philippines
    (2002-10) Delos Santos, Analyn B,; Garcia, Sunshine F.
    Internal efficiency is defined as producing the maximum output out of a given level and mix of outputs. Assessing internal efficiency and effectiveness of the State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) is the goal of this study. It also aims to update data on the costs of SUC higher education and the cost variation among them. The analysis covers four degree programs among those requiring licensure examinations in the practice of profession that are: accountancy, civil engineering, elementary teacher education and secondary teacher education. Comparative analysis and regression results lead us to conclude that unit costs vary widely within and across each region. It is significantly determined only by enrollment size in civil engineering and elementary teacher education. Furthermore, many accredited schools and school candidate for accreditation perform better in the board examinations than non-accredited schools; and among the four samples programs, passing rates are highest in civil engineering.
