CHAPTER 1
Background of the Study
A school is an educational institution which is set up with an aim to provide
education to the students. School learning is very important not only for children but also
for the nation. School provides the fundamental learning which is very crucial to build an
educated nation and knowledgeable labor force. Effective teaching and learning can only
take place when teacher and student attend to the school on a regular basis. Regular
attendance helps a student to prepare for the examination through class discussion.
One of the most important things a child can do to reach the goal of success is
also one of the most basic, attend school every day on time. Despite the strictness in
attendance policies, absenteeism is an important current issue among students worldwide.
Student attendance is a crucial determinant of academic outcomes in education, as
lectures are still part of the curriculum that engage in learning and assessment.
Teacher effectiveness is the strongest school-related determinant of student
success but chronic student absence reduces even the best teacher's ability to provide
learning opportunities. Poor attendance has serious implications for later outcomes.
Dealing with class attendance is not a new phenomenon; it has been a problem for
decades and has yet been extensively studied. Some students only attend classes to fulfill
the mandatory requirements of the institute. However, regular attendance accomplishes
several significant achievements.
Absenteeism of the students has a significant concern for any institute. When
students are absent from lectures, they miss valuable information. Various researches on
class attendance and performance show that students with high attendance achieve have
higher academic performance than those students who had poor class attendance. Class
attendance has an encouraging impact on students’ academic achievements, and
therefore, a mandatory attendance policy plays a significant role in accelerating academic
success in students.
With that in mind, the researchers are motivated to conduct a study that seeks to
investigate the impact of students attendance on the academic performance of the Grade-
12 students of Section Dunghoy from Camayaan National High School which could serve
as basis for future action plans on how to effectively establish and tighten the policy of
imperative attendance in the school.
Review and Related Literature
Student attendance is an important issue in today’s' education. Many schools have
compulsory attendance policies, while others refrain from making it as such. Despite the
different policies, there seems to be a consensus among the teachers about the positive
effect of attendance in academic performance. Not attending classes is seen as one of the
reasons for academic failure.
Moreover, regular school attendance is critical for academic success. Our goal is
to ensure that every student attends school regularly and on time. Showing up for school
has a huge impact on a student’s academic success starting in kindergarten and
continuing through high school. Parents play a key role in making sure students
understand why attendance is so important for success in school. We know that some
absences are unavoidable due to health problems or other circumstances.Some studies by
Ehrenberg et al. (1991) as well as Lamdin (1996) indicate that when learners have better
attendance rates, they often have higher passing rates on standardized achievement tests.
Furthermore, attendance in school is important because student are more likely to
succeed in academic when they attend school consistently (Pascopella, 2007). It is
difficult for teachers and students to built skills and progress if large numbers of students
are frequently absent. In addition to falling behind in academics, students who are not in
school on a regular basis are more likely to get into trouble with the law and cause
problems in their communities (Hocking, 2008).
In the past decade, a number of studies have examined the relationship between
students attendance (or absenteeism) and academic performance, generally finding that
attendance does matter for academic achievements (e.g Durden and Ellis (1995),
Devadoss and Foltz (1996), Chan et al. (1997), Marburger (2001), Rodgers (2001), Bratti
and Sta olani (2002), Dolton et al. (2003), Kirby and McElroy (2003). This kind of
evidence has led some authors to call for measures to increase student attendance and
even to consider the possibility for making attendance mandatory.
School attendance is the daily or regular learner participation in school activities
(Gottfried, 2010). Through regular school attendance, learners get to access consistent
educational support for their academic attainment (Oghuvbu, 2010). When learners attain
academically, Honneth (1995) observes that they recognize their identities and
intersubjective awareness of their social and individual capabilities. Similarly, Fleming
(2008) advises that pupils need regular school attendance for them to be highly engaged
with classroom activities. Black et al. (2014) argue that school attendance is reinforced
through continuous teacher guidance and parental/guardian encouragement. However, it
is legitimate for school teachers to maintain a daily pupil attendance record (Bagaya,
2019). The attendance record is regularly reviewed by the head-teacher and the district
inspector of schools as a quality assurance measure (Nsubuga, 2008).
The debate about the relationship between school attendance and academic
performance has preoccupied the attention of many scholars and researchers for decades.
Thus, this problem should not be ignored by schools and should be addressed properly by
making plans and formulating solutions. Studies must also be conducted to come up with
plans suited to maximize student attendance.
