respondents about the academic performance of BSA and BSACT and the

factors affecting it. The study is composed of 30 respondents based upon the

quota sampling that the researchers used.

Summary of findings:

The following are the findings of the researchers on the profile of the

respondents, and the performance of the 3rd year students in Institute of

Accountancy of Arellano University Main Campus.

1. On the Demographic Profile of the respondents

ages 16-20 years of age got the highest percentage which is

93.33%, respondents ages 20-25 and 26 and above has the

same percentage of 3.33%.

2. How does the following aspect of development affect the student

performance of the BSA and BSACT respondents?

2.1 In terms of cognitive development, BSA respondents ranked

My learning strategy is always effective as the first with a

weighted mean of 3.40 and verbally interpreted as neutral. I

am able to focus in a particular task; my knowledge-based is

and overall interpreted as agree while BSAcT respondents

also ranked My learning strategy is always effective as the

first with a weighted mean of 1.67 and interpreted as

disagree. I am able to focus in a particular task; and I

easily absorb everything when reading a textbook are

help me understand and elaborate circumstances is ranked

last with a weighted mean of 2.13. Overall it was interpreted

as disagree with a total weighted mean 1.99.

2.2 In terms of linguistic development, BSA respondents ranked

3. Is there a significant difference in the student performance of the BSA and

BSACT in the aforementioned students development?

3.1 In terms of Cognitive Development, the computed t value

36.76644 is greater than the critical value of 2.048 at 0.05

level of significance. This goes to show that the null

hypothesis is rejected. This means that there was a

significant difference between the student performance of

BSA and BSAcT.

3.2 In terms of Linguistic Development, the computed t value

4.09062 is greater than the critical value of 2.048 at 0.05

level of significance. This goes to show that the null

hypothesis is rejected. This means that there was a

significant difference between the student performance of

BSA and BSAcT.

3.3 In terms of Personal Development, it was revealed that the

computed t value 10.20408 is greater than the critical value

 2.048. This implied that there is a significant difference

between the student performance of BSA and BSAcT

respondents in terms of their personal development. Null

Hypothesis is then rejected. This means that student

performance of BSA differs from BSAcT due to the aspect of

development which is their personal growth.

3.4 In terms of Social Development, it can be seen that critical

value 2.048 is less than the computed t value of 14.00209.

This shows that there is a significant difference between the

student performance of BSA and BSAcT respondents in

terms of social development. This means that the null

hypothesis is rejected.

4. What are the factors affecting the student performance of BSA and

BSACT respondents?

4.1 In terms of Physical factors, the statement I always have a

sufficient rest before attending class has a weighted mean

of 2.67 which is ranked first and verbally interpreted as

neutral. I always take a proper meal before studying is

ranked second and has a weighted mean of 3.47 which

verbally interpreted as agree. Ranked third is the statement

A well-ventilated, clean, and orderly classroom can

influence me while studying with a weighted mean of 3.93,

and verbally interpreted as agree. Noise does not affect my

 learning is ranked fourth with a weighted mean of 4.00 and

interpreted as agree. BSAcT respondents ranked noise

does not affect my learning; and I always take a proper

meal before studying first with a weighted mean of 2.47,

and verbally interpreted as disagree. The statement A well-

ventilated, clean, and orderly classroom can influence me

while studying has a weighted mean of 2.8, ranked third and

verbally interpreted as neutral. I always have sufficient rest

Conclusion

Based on the findings of the study and after the careful analysis of the data

presented, the researchers had drawn the following conclusions:

1. The demographic profile of the respondents showed that majority of the

respondents was female between the ages of 16-20.

2. Majority of the BSA respondents agreed that they are doing the situations

given on the survey questionnaires in terms of their cognitive development

which can be noted that they are more focused on analysing the lessons

given every day. They have learning styles which can help them cope up

in their studies. However, BSAcT respondents disagreed that they are

doing the statements provided which can be noted that they are having

hard time thinking and analysing some lessons given to them. In terms of

the aspect of linguistic development, BSA and BSAcT respondents both

disagreed that they are doing the statements provided in the survey which

can be seen that both respondents are having difficulties in terms of their

language acquisitions. In terms of personal development. Both

respondents answered neutral in the statements with relations to their

personal growth. In terms of social development, BSA agreed with the

that physical factors can either affect their performance positively and

negatively but mental factors was said to negatively affect their
