Summary, Conclusion, and Recommendation
This chapter summarizes the key findings from interviews with
Grade 11 HUMSS students, highlighting the challenges affecting
their academic performance, including motivation, time
management, and support systems. It concludes by analyzing how
these factors influence their learning outcomes. Finally,
recommendations are provided to help improve student
performance and create a more supportive academic environment.
Summary of the Problem
Although many students encounter difficulties that result in
poor academic performance, Grade 11 HUMSS students' academic
performance is a crucial indicator of their overall development and
educational progress. This problem is caused by a number of
external factors, including as the effectiveness of the teacher
or classroom setting, as well as internal issues, such as a lack of
passion, bad study habits, poor time management, and little
parental support. In order to identify the underlying causes of poor
academic performance, this study aims to investigate these
contributing elements in detail. The study intends to provide useful
insights to create focused plans and interventions that eventually

improve academic achievement and personal development by
recognizing these aspects.
Salient Findings
In this study, the researcher's findings indicate that failing
grades are caused by various of interrelated factors. These results
show that a variety of environmental, social, and personal factors
that affect students' learning experiences. Furthermore, it also
emphasizes the essential role of peers, teachers, and parents, are in
helping children get better at what they do.
1. Students struggle with unfinished assignments or test
preparation can result from many students' inability to
manage distractions such as social media, gaming, and peer
activities further consume the time they should be dedicating
to studying.
2. Maintaining motivation and practicing time management
help students finish assignments more quickly and with
higher quality. However, students who are unmotivated or do
not manage their time effectively frequently experience
stress, which results in hurried, unfinished, or subpar work.
3. Better learning experiences can be created by supportive
teachers who offer encouraging feedback, interesting
lessons, and clear direction. Friends can also promote group
activities by encouraging cooperation, providing moral

support, and exchanging ideas. But according to some
students, these support networks aren't always available,
which makes it harder for them to ask for assistance when
they need it.
Conclusion
A combination of personal habits, mindset, along with external
support systems influence the academic performance of Grade 11
HUMSS students. One of the biggest challenges is time
management; students frequently find it difficult to balance their
schoolwork with extracurricular activities, family duties, or personal
leisure time. Fostering a pleasant learning environment to provide
students with the resources, support, and encouragement they need
in order to overcome academic obstacles. Students who maintain
their drive and discipline are more likely to finish assignments
quickly and generate better work, therefore motivation itself is quite
important. Students are more capable to improve their
performance when these components can combine

HUMSS students. A few areas were evident as possible future
research, and the suggestions below are as follows:
Students. Urged to prioritize assignments, create organized
schedules, and cut down on distractions in order to better handle
their obligations. Asking for advice can assist output while also
lowering feelings of stress. In addition, to be better equipped to take
charge of their education and make more mindful academic
decisions when they are aware of how these elements affect their
performance.
Teachers. Gain a deeper understanding of the specific
challenges that HUMSS students face. Providing clear instructions,
regular feedback, or academic support can help students manage
their workload, stay motivated, and build confidence in their
abilities.
Parents. Develop a greater awareness of the academic
struggles and pressures their children experience. By understanding
the key factors contributing to low academic performance, parents
can offer more meaningful, targeted support. This includes providing
emotional encouragement, assisting with time management
strategies, and ensuring access to additional learning resources
when needed.
Future Researchers. Use this study as a foundation for
exploring similar topics related to academic performance among

senior high school students. Future research could dive deeper into
the long-term effects of time management and motivation across
different academic strands, or investigate how psychological stress,
socioeconomic background, and digital distractions contribute to
performance.
