- 1. Page | 1 CHAPTER I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Time management is very important for student’s performance and achievements. It is a skill that enables students to use their time productively and efficiently. Students who manage their time can finish tasks in less time. Students’ time is consumed by a heavy load of school work, habits, and learning throughout the school years. Students who cannot plan and manage their time for every activity and task may have a negative impact on their academic performance. The researcher proposed this study to show the importance of time management and how it affects the academic performance of senior high school students at Pulong Buhangin National High School. However, poor time management has a significant impact on the academic performances of senior high school students. The researchers concluded that the most frequent effects of poor time management in senior high school students are lack of sleep, decreased academic performances, increased dropout rates, being late to class, rushing through assignments, and producing low- quality work. Background Time management is a study habit that helps students to prioritize their studies and accurately judge the amount of time needed to complete them. It helps students to complete their studies or any other activities in a timely fashion and earn to manage and stick to a schedule. According to Patrick (2013), time management often involves students monitoring their own efforts and actions, having an appropriate sense of urgency to complete assignments, and having

In the academic context, procrastination trait includes achievement motivation or hope for success, planning and time manage skills, work discipline, study motivation, and self-control and cognitive study skills (Schouwenbrug, 1995). Therefore, it has particularly important consequences for university students, such as waste of time, poor performance, increased stress, anxiety and depression (Chu & Choi, 2005, Essau et al. 2008). These factors led to an increase in pressure due a time reduction which reduces accuracy and consequently a reduction in academic performance (Van Eerde, 2003). Previous studies have suggested that the relationship between procrastination and academic performance is influenced by the ability of the students. Previously, Ferrari (1991) showed that students with greater ability tend to procrastinate more tan those with lower ability. However, it has been recently published that these students with high cognitive abilities may obtain worse educational outcomes or fail to accomplish the educational program if they procrastinate (De Paola & Scoppa, 2015). Objective of the Study The objective of this study is to determine the effects of poor time management on senior high school students at Pulong Buhangin National High School. General objective The study’s general objective is to determine the effects of poor time management on the academic difficulties of senior high school students at Pulong Buhangin National High School.
