Item Restricted Aral na, trabaho pa: a comparative study of working and non-working students in the University of the Philippines(2013-10) Gutierrez, Eduardo Jr. D.; Suing, Lemarie B.; Reside, Renato Jr. E.This study presents a comparative analysis of the academic performance and health of working and non-working students. Cross-sectional data was collected by surveying undergraduate students from selected colleges in the University of the Philippines Diliman. Regression was done on two models that were constructed for each dependent variable: Academic Performance and Self-assessed Health. Findings of the study show that working students performed better academically than non-working students but had a higher probability of rating themselves with poorer health. A one percent increase in working hours leads to a GW A better by 0.11% although the effect has diminishing returns because the one percent increase in working hours results in a less than one percent increase in GW A. Working has a negative effect on health and decreases the probability of students self-assessing an "Excellent Health" using predicted probability values and computed marginal effects. The study suggests that factors aside from academic performance should be taken into consideration when college students make decisions whether to work or not.Item Restricted Equitableness of dormitory admission policies in UP Diliman(2012-01) Dela Cruz, Gianna T.; Tiongson, Naida Therese G.; Tan, Edita A.Item Restricted The UP Diliman student population from admission to enrollment(2011-10) dela Cruz, Fatima Marie D.; Mangahas, Alanna Margarita F.; Tan, Edita A.The Program Development Staff of the Office of the President of the University, in a July 1976 Faculty Conference, approved the resolution: "That the University adopt and implement immediately a democratic admission policy to make its studentry more representative of the nation's population." The University resolved for a more democratized admission policy - admitting more students from lower socio-economic to one which better approximates the distribution of the Philippine population. The study looks into whether or not enrollment in the University reflects this. The socioeconomic background, residential location, and type of high school are found to influence the chance of passing the admission criteria of the University. Admission is based on weighted average scores - admissions test and average high school grades. An analysis of these variables is undertaken. The University also provides tuition subsidy based on family income and wealth under the Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program. Trend analyses will be undertaken to see patterns that have emerged since the 2007 revision of the STF AP. Regression analysis will be used in order to identify the effects of different academic and socioeconomic variables on the probability of qualifying for UP Diliman. An applicant from a family that earns more than Pl.O million annually, from a UP-administered high school, from NCR, and has high high school grades has the highest chance of qualifying.
