 CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Family is said to be the first institution where one starts to equip oneself to

grow. This is the most important component of the country. The family is one of

nature’s masterpieces. (Santayana 2012). A home is where the family lived. It

may be altered to the word ‘house’ but a house is more appropriately referring to

the material structure, whereas ‘home’ refers to the intangible things that bind

together the family members.

However, no matter how happy a family in terms of their relationship, there

are still hardships and misunderstanding that will come along the way. It is just

part of any relationship anyway but, the sad part is when one of the family

members gave up and the others have no choice but to accept and let go.

When we say broken family, it is not distinct and strange thing, rather

common and experiencing problems in and around us. Family life is in a crisis

when some problems aroused and which causes separation of the members in

the families, which is simply called broken family.

Broken family affects children’s social relationships in several ways. The

academic performance of children from broken family is often adversely affected,

as well as the stress of inadequate financial resources. Children from broken

home household are disadvantaged. Some of them do not go to school: those

who may attend low quality schools, and low quality performance. The emotional
stress of a broken family can be enough to stunt child’s academic achievements,

but the lifestyle changes and instability of a broken family can contribute to poor

educational outcomes.

Background of the Study

Broken family occurs as a separation of marriage either by death or

divorce. Broken home, contributed a lot to anti-social behavior society

According to Hornby (2000), a home is conceived as a family living

together and the way it behaves, while a family is referred to as a group

consisting of one or two parents and their children (Ibid). Broken home is a term

used to describe a household usually a reference to parenting in which he family

unity does not properly function according to accepted social norm. (Wikipedia

online)

However, as a home become insecure, children respond by developing

tension, prostration, aggression, anger and hatred toward one of both parents

because of their behavior, that lead to separation. Broken homes could cause

children to feel isolation and humpies, hence, they are frustrated and

psychologically disturbed even when they are in classroom, As it increased

stress and emotional difficulties among children were they cannot do well in

school activities thereby affecting their school achievement.

The choice of broken family as a factor affecting academic performance is

not far from the fact that family is the basic unit of society (Abah 2006), and the
home has a great influence on the students psychological, emotional, social and

economic state (Ajila and Olutola 2007).

The state of the home affects the individual because the parents are the

first socializing agents in an individual life (Ibid). The number one ingredient that

lays the psychological, moral and spiritual foundation in the overall development

of the child is his family (Uwaifo 2008).

Therefore, this study aims to determine the loss of concentration during

class hours leading to poor academic performance and loss of focus on

education. It is in light of this that the researcher sought to assess the impact of

having a broken family to the academic achievement of Senior High School

Students of AMA Computer Learning Center – Antipolo Campus.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

The study will be focusing on the impact of having a broken family to the

student’s academic achievement and was focused on Senior High School

Students, ages 15 above who are currently studying at AMA Computer Learning

Center – Antipolo Campus S.Y. 2019-2020.

This study will be conducted at AMA Computer Learning Center – Antipolo

Campus that contains necessary data needed for researchers to successfully

overcome the study.

The data will be gathered using Survey Questionnaire-Checklist to be

distributed to Senior High School Students. This study will be having eighty (80)
randomly picked students and will be performed on the convenience of the

respondents.

Through Survey Questionnaire-Checklist, it will be easier for the

researchers to determine the impact of having a broken family to student’s

academic achievement which will be beneficial to students who need additional

information about the study. The study will cover from January to March of year

2020, from survey to data gathering.

Statement of the Problem

Throughout the researcher, these questions are the main point that

researchers based on:

1. What is the respondent’s profile?

1. Age

2. Sex

3. Status

2. How does broken family affect you as an individual?

3. What are some causes of broken family to children?

4. Does being from a broken family affect the child’s school

performance?
Hypothesis of the Study

The following four (4) null hypothesis were generated for testing:

 There is no significant effect especially on teenager’s lifestyle if they have

broken family

 There is no average time for the respondents to perform more chores and

assume additional roles in the new house hold’s basic functioning.

 There is no significance factor that affects the respondents.

 There is no great significance factor that affects the respondents.

Theoretical Framework

Cultivation Theory examines the long-term effects of having a broken

family. They show statistics that broken families affect much of student’s

emotional and spiritual being, that it greatly distresses the student’s education.

The primary proposition of Cultivation Theory states that having a broken family

really affects the student’s academic achievement, the more that the student

experience deficits in emotional development. This emotional suppression makes

it difficult for parents, teachers, and therapists to help the student process her

feelings in developmentally appropriate ways. Cultivation is a positivistic theory,

means it assumes the existence of objective reality and value-neutral research. A

study conducted by Dorina Miron and Jennings Bryant (2004), which surveyed

almost 2,000 articles published in the three top mass communication journals

since 1956, found that cultivation analysis was the third most frequently utilized
theory, showing that it continues to be one of the most popular theories in mass

communication.

Cultivation Theory suggests that having a broken family, subtly “cultivates”

student’s perceptions of a family. “Broken family is one wherein the members do

not trust each other anymore. The husband and wife feel that marriage was a

mistake and their kid feel it is his/her fault that their dear mommy and daddy

aren’t happy” it’s functions in word, enculturation.

 CHAPTER II
REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Foreign Literature

The poem by Heather A. Richardson (2014) entitled Painful Tears is about

how the child felt when her parents got divorced. She felt betrayed by her own

father. It really breaks her hearts seeing her mother miserable and all. Divorce

happened when a relationship didn’t work out for both parties. And maybe treat

her father as a friend to lean on but after what happened, hatred and not wanting

to see her father is the only she felt. Separation of parents can really affect

child’s life forever. He may not believe in the power marriage anymore.

The poem entitled Divorce by Anna Wickham (2015) is about material

divorce, but it is also helpful to think of the word ‘Divorce’ in terms of a separating

or breaking away from something. The speaker in this poem is feeling restricted

and constrained in the house in the valley but is aware of potential freedom

outside. ‘A voice from the dark is calling’ her, yet she is not frightened. She

yearns to be let free, into a night she associates with liberty and desire. Notice

how the poem turns on the exclamation ‘Wait!’ In line nine, when the speaker

ready to break away from the smothering house and the fire which has been

fanned with her ‘sick breath’. Look at the images of drums and war in the second

half of the poem. Her escape is into an exciting, if dangerous, world, but this is

preferable to a life of suffocating loneliness. She is drawn to the call of the ‘hero’
at the rock’s edge. The poem concludes with the repeated refrain and the urgent,

passionate plea ‘let me go, let me go!’

The poem from Brianna K. Slone (2016) entitled Through the Eyes of My

Child is about the child longing for his father for almost 15 years after his parent

achievements, and didn’t gave the love of a father. The only thing that’s been

gone after the divorce was his parent relationship but not his relationship with his

dad. In the United States, the effects of single-parent family life on children fall

into two categories: (1) those attributed to the lower socioeconomic status of

single parents and (2) the short-term consequences of divorce that moderate

over time. Four factors are predictive of U.S. children’s adjustment to the divorce

of their parents: the passage of time, the quality of the children’s relationship with

their residential parent, the level of conflict between parents, and the economic

standing of the children’s residential family. In the first few years after a divorce,

the children have higher rates of antisocial behavior, aggression, anxiety, and

school problems may be attributed to a decrease in available resources and adult

super-vision; may of the negative effects disappear when there is adequate

supervision, income, and continuity in social networks (McLanahan and Sandefur

2014).

In mother-only families, children tend to experience short and long-term

economic and psychological disadvantages; higher absentee rates at school,

lower levels of education, and higher dropout rates (with boys more negatively

affected by parental discord prior to divorce than by living in single-parent

families and actually gain in responsibility as a result of altered family routines

(Demo and Acock 2016).

Local Literature

According to Eschica (2014), children with separated parents do not

perform well in school which is a very terrifying incident because a school that isa

an institution for learning is falling to deliver education. Thus it merely becomes

unproductive.

A more have been investigated into the relationship between broken

homes variable and academic achievement. Ducan (2014), started that the

relationship between home variable and academic achievement are positive but

the broken home has made it negative. `However, the existence of this negative

relationship between broken home and academic achievement cannot generally

tell us very much of the nature of the casual relationship, that exist between the

variables.

According to homeby (2015), broken home is a home in which the parents

are separated or divorced or are no more together as a result of death. Children

from such homes lack of proper care and security.

In the same way Udru (2014), define a broke home mean a house in

which the parental are no more living together. Others researcher studies

carryout on broken homes seem to agree that broken home associated with

increase aggressive and Juvenile delinquency in children.

 Navarro (1990) revealed that solo parenting is a difficult road, though at

end you’re glad you saw it through became the real rewards are having a happy,

healthy kid and being a better person for it.

Foreign Studies

In this fast pace civilization that we exist in nowadays, it must to be simple

for us, the American public, to be aware of this phenomenon. The standard

“American Family” has both parents in the place of work, financial stress, job

discontent, children in school activities and sports, “high demand” lifestyles and

generally small time to center on the families group cohesiveness. Although

Waite and Lillard (2014) viewed that children, especially young children, present

and improve marital steadiness, environmental stressors and everyday labor are

often more than a parental relationship can endure. These “standard” stressors

alone can make much chaos, turmoil and in time lead to marital damage,

argument and divorce.

Many studies show that family conflict was typically a strong precursor to

divorce and lead children from divorced families to rate their relationships as

having greater family conflict. Those from intact families reported more cohesion,

expensiveness, sociability, and idealization and less conflict than those from

divorced families. However, coming from a divorced family did not affect young

adult’s self-esteem, fear of intimacy, or relationship satisfaction, but it did affect

fears and expectations for divorce (Kirk, 2014)

 In-depth studies strongly indicate that the attitudes surrounding marriage

and success in marriage is transmitted between generations in divorced families.

Men and women from divorced families tend to score significantly lower on

several measures of psychological well-being and more likely to be divorce

themselves (Franklin, Janoff-Bulman, & Roberts; 2016). This trend has the

potential to have social impact on our culture because the evidences suggests

that adult children of divorce have relationship problems that lead to divorce in

their marriage as well, which could lead to a perpetual cycle of this phenomenon.

Perhaps the greatest problem associated with divorce is that it does

appear to be a cyclical phenomenon. An estimated 40% to 50% of children born

in the U.S. in the 1980’s experience parental divorce (Fine, Moreland,

&Schwebel, 1983), Women who experience parental divorce have a 60% higher

divorce rate than their counterparts; while men whose parents divorced have a

35% higher rate of divorce than men whose parents remained married (Glen &

Shelton, 1983). It seems clear that people from divorced families are more likely

to be divorced themselves and therefore convey the impression that marital

dissolution is more acceptable. Amato (2016) states that adult children of divorce

feel more pessimistic about their chances of life-long marriage and evaluate

divorce less negatively than do other young adults.

Students experiencing post-divorced conflict were more likely to have

engaged in premarital sexual intercourse, their satisfaction with their current

relationship was lower, and they showed a decline in the parent-child

relationship. These adult children of divorce also expressed more difficulty in

finding people with whom they could establish relationships (Morris & West,

2014)

Local Studies

Family is the child’s first place of contact and in a world where having

broken families are no longer considered as something heartbreaking, students

of these families are usually the ones to suffer as they feel as if their world has

been turned upside down. Students who experienced going through the hardship

of their parents separation often would say, “others who have whole families

wouldn’t understand the feelings of someone from a broken family” and thus

arguments on the comparisons between groups of children from broken and

intact families are less illuminating than investigations of variables that may

mediate post-divorce adaption as stated by Grych and Fincham (2014) and are

usually inter-connected to each other as analyzing those, influences the results

and conclusions of each issues.

The number of marriage annulment cases in the Philippines has risen by

40 percent in the last decade with at least 22 cases filed every day, according to

a report by the Catholic bishops’ news agency (Tubeza, 2014) and with the rise

of such cases relating to separated parents, effects that deemed students into

becoming prone to challenge upon their emotional, mental and psychological

stability causes them to be much more exposed to the world they are not yet

ready to venture in. Discussion about the issue demonstrates that there are

many factors besides parental separation which have an impact on children’s

adjustment and proved to be a significant difficulty for most children suggests

that the relation between these variables and reaction is very complex and not

well defined or understood.

The study of Corcoran (2015) likewise state that the children’s

psychological reactions to the reparation of their parents vary on three major

factors: (1) relationship quality of each parent before the separation. (2) the

intensity and duration of the parental conflict, and (3) ability of parents focus on

the needs of children in their separation.

Navarro (2015) revealed that solo parenting is a difficult road, through at

the end you’re glad you saw it through because the real rewards are having a

happy, healthy kid and being better person for it. Solo parents want to be

reassuring, as in an article that appeared in a professional journal. This review of

social psychological research into female-headed families conducted

between1970-1980 concludes that theoretically, children do not need the

presence of the same sex/opposite sex parents in the family in order to develop

sex-role behavior.

The emotional maturity, anxiety and communication of a person is related

to his behavioral attitude. These factors have been widely studied by

researchers, specially by Aquino et al. (2015), showing the comparison between

the students belonging to be a broken family and those that don’t. The study

shows that children who experience parental divorce tend to experience more

psychological and socio-emotional challenges than peers from families.

 CHAPTER III
METHODS OF RESEARCH AND PROCEDURES
This chapter presents a discussion of the research methodology, variable

of the study, population and sampling research instrument, data gathering,

scoring interpretation and statistical treatment.

Methods of Research Used

This study used the descriptive survey methods of research because it

describes the phenomena under study in its natural setting. It used also because

this was the most appropriate means of determining the “Impact of having a

broken family to the Academic Achievement of Senior High School Student of

AMA Computer Learning Center – Antipolo Campus S.Y. 2019-2020”

According to Aggarwal descriptive survey method of research which

concerns itself with present phenomena in terms of conditions, practices, trends

and relationships.

It is devoted to the gathering of information about prevailing or situations

for the purpose of description and interpretation.

The descriptive survey involved the description on what is the Impact of

having a broken family to the academic achievement of Senior High School

Students of AMA Computer Learning Center – Antipolo Campus. Furthermore,

the study used to present the significant Impact of having a Broken Family.

Population of Sampling
 There are thirty seven (37) male respondents and forty three (43) female

respondents present with the total strength of eighty (80) respondents. The

research used 101as the total number of sample population.

Formula:

n= N

{1+N (e)2}

Where n= sample size

N= total population

e= level of significant

Total of Senior High school students

Male- 37 Female- 43

Total of N= 123

n= 101/1+101(0.05)2

n= 101/1+101 (0.0025)

n= 101/1+0.2525

n= 101/1.2525

n= 80 respondents
 Thus, 80 respondents used to select randomly using simple random

sampling as the sample size of AMA Computer Learning Center and the

respondents of the study used to answer the survey-questionnaire checklist

developed by the researcher.

Research Instrument

The researcher developed a3 parted survey=questionnaire checklist as

the main instrument of the study.

Part 1 a letter of respondents; Part 2 collect the details regarding the

profile of the respondents; Part 3 is composed of 10 items statement that

focuses on the Impact of having a Broken Family to Academic Achievement of

Senior High School Student of AMA Computer Learning Center – Antipolo

Campus.

The survey questionnaire checklist was developed by the researcher with

the help of Researcher Teacher. Then the researcher reconstructed the

instrument incorporating all valuable suggestions and comments those experts

had given.

Data Gathering

After the approval of the title at hand researchers immediately prepared

the Gantt Chart of activities that serves as the calendar of the researcher. It also

served as guide in accomplishing the desired task necessary for the conducted

of the study.
 After the construction of chapter 1, 2, 3, the researcher secured a permit

from the AMA Computer Learning Center to conduct the study and approved

request to the present School Director of ACLC Antipolo for the conduct of the

study. Then the retrieval of the survey questionnaire=checklist followed. In data

processing, the data gathered are tabulated, analyze and subject to appropriate

statistical treatment for its proper interpretation.

This is used to guide the construction of chapter 4 which dealt with the

detailed result of the study. Then it will be followed by the construction and the

recommendations.

Moreover, the scales below were used for the interpretation of the Impact

of having a Broken Family to a Student’s Academic Achievement.

the lifestyle of their sons and daughters. They should spend time with their

children to know what is happening on them.

 They should know what are the activities or pass time that their children

are doing for them to guide the students.

For the Students:

 They should know how to handle their emotions for them to be able to

manage situations and they should be independent.
