NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL IS MORE PRONE TO ACADEMIC STRESS.

RATIONALE

Academically speaking the term “Academic Stress” is not as unique as it first seems,

particularly when compared to all the other terminologies employed in the numerous scholarly

fields. Several studies have already gone bright to light the issue. Students who experience such

academic stressful life events often have worse health outcomes and reduced quality of life

(Essel & Owusu, 2017; Sonia, 2015). There is often a lot of pressure that comes along especially

as a graduating student. In academics, there is a lot of studying, homework, tests, activities, and

quizzes. The pressure of finishing all the work, balancing the time, and fitting in extracurricular

activities is a concern. Without a doubt, academic stress has been circulating within the STEM

students.

Academic stress is the anxiety and stress that comes from academic work, project, and

pressure from peers and family. If stress is harsh and extended, it can lessen academic

performance, hinder with a student’s capability to involve in and add to campus life, and raise

the probability of substance abuse and other potentially destructive behaviors (Richlin-Klonsky

& Hoe, 2003; Khan, Altaf and Kausar, 2013). School students who are frequently living away

from home for the first-time experience academic stress particularly severely. Teachers

anticipate on-time completion of assignments or activities. Students might misunderstand how

long it takes to finish reading and writing assignments, print out copies of their work, and submit

in assignments. According to Porwal & Kumar (2014), taking notice of these changes is the

biggest challenge. As the transition to face-to-face classes approaches, some students might find
it hard to adapt as it is a sudden change of learning setup. Fear of academic failure related to

these tasks is a definite stressor (Kolko, 1980; Khan, Altaf & Kausar, 2013). Due to the pressure

of the family and competition with peers, the stress level of students will be high enough. Having

an overload assignment, activities, and projects would likely lead to academic stress that may

further contribute to mental health issues. Academic stress among students have long been

researched on, and researchers have identified Stressors as too many assignments, competitions

with other students, failures and poor relationships with other students or lecturers (Fairbrother &

Warn, 2003).

Nowadays stress has become an important subject matter in research studies in academic

circle as well as in our society (Khan, Altaf & Kausar, 2013). Academic stress has increased in

the past years and mostly now because of the pandemic and the transition to face-to-face classes.

This research is created to give a much more understanding and knowledge on why today’s

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Students at Daniel Maramba National High

School are more prone to academic stress and to help students to manage academic stress.

Indeed, it must be given sufficient attention and focus because it can be alarming, as evident

from the other studies mentioned above.


OBJECTIVE

This study aims to determine why today’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and

Mathematics Students at Daniel Maramba National High School. Specifically answering the

following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of sex?

2. What is the academic stress level of the senior high school students in terms of 1 st quarter

general average in General Physics 1?

3. What are the various forms of managing academic stress?

METHODOLOGY

Research Design

With the aim of determining why today's Science, Technology, Engineering, and

Mathematics Students at Daniel Maramba National High School are more prone to academic

stress, a survey-based descriptive design, as described by LoBiondo-Wood & Haber (2006), is

used in this study. Survey research is defined as "the collection of information from a sample of

individuals through their responses to questions" (Check & Schutt, 2012). The main goal of this

kind of survey study was to swiftly gather information defining the characteristics of a large

sample of people of interest.

Source of Data (Materials and Procedures)

The respondents of this study are the Grade 12 Science, Technology, Engineering, and

Mathematics Students of Daniel Maramba National High School situated at Poblacion Norte,

Sta. Barbara, Pangasinan. The respondents will be given a survey questionnaire designed by the

researcher.
