Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 20, Issue 4
Abstract
This study aimed to identify the factors associated with absenteeism among High School students for the school year 2022-2023. The research focused on 120 High School students from Nunungan District High Schools, located in the District of Nunungan, Lanao del Norte. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study aimed to explore and identify the factors related to absenteeism within this specific population during the specified school year. The findings revealed that the school environment demonstrated a positive and significant relationship with absenteeism underscoring that a positive school environment was associated with reduced absenteeism. Commitment also exhibited a significant and negative relationship with absenteeism indicating that higher levels of commitment were linked to lower rates of absenteeism. However, parental control did not emerge as a significant predictor suggesting that, within the context of this model, parental control may not independently contribute to explaining absenteeism. Among the socio-demographic factors, only the father's education appeared to be a significant predictor highlighting the potential influence of a father's education on absenteeism. This study concluded that the positive perceptions of the school environment, commitment levels, and parental control among respondents collectively provided valuable insights into factors influencing students' academic experiences. The consistently favorable evaluations across various dimensions of the school environment underscoring the need for educational institutions to prioritize maintaining supportive atmospheres and positive interpersonal dynamics. Notably, the high levels of commitment exhibited by students emphasized the significance of fostering positive relationships, particularly with teachers and peers, to enhance the overall educational experience.
