CHAPTER I:
INTRODUCTION
Sometimes we can’t manage our stress and we didn’t know how to solve this. Stress can
bring us to a depression, anxiety, misery, tension, anger, dejection, and worst to suicide. We can
avoid stress by forgetting the problems such as doing things you love and makes you comfortable,
cozy, and far from stress-related activities.
Approximately, stress invades the life of students which induce the researchers to come up
with the idea to study the stressors particular the reasons behind the stress of student and for them
to be knowledgeable in terms of factors which avoids students stress and also the effects of stress to
student’s academic performance. This study discovers the reasons to lead the students to become
more stress, and the possible ways to reduce to be into it. Eventually, this study will also give
awareness for student to manage their stress by the use of formulated factors resulted from this
study.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study aims to classify the analysis of academic stress of students in San Agustin (Stand
Alone) Senior High School.
ASSUMPTIONS
The researchers wanted to distinguish the San Agustin (Stand Alone) Senior High School
student’s academic performance and the analysis of stress management in their lifestyle. At the end
of this research study, the researchers were premised on the following assumptions:
HYPOTHESIS
There is a high possibility that every student in San Agustin (Stand Alone) Senior High
School could suffer or engage on any stress-related work in their chosen strand that has effect on
their academic performance.
5
SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The study is about the determination of strand on the analysis of coping threats to the
academic stress of Grade 11 students. The researchers came up to this study because they want to
know and help as well those students to be aware on how to give actions on managing stress so that
it couldn’t affect on their academic performance in their school and to have a higher level or gain
more knowledge on contradicting them.
Due to financial, time constraint, cooperation and availability of sources; the study limits to
the Factors avoiding student’s stress, Stressors, Indications and Effects of Stress and Student’s
Academic Performance on selected Grade 11 students in San Agustin (Stand Alone) Senior High
School. It also limits to 50 respondents and it was done in almost 4 months started on July 2019 and

DEFINITION OF TERMS
These are the terms that have been used by the researchers in the study to help the readers
and researchers to clearly understand the effects of stress in academic performance.
STRESS – a state of mental tension and worry caused by problems that may affect the lifestyle of
the person who possesses this feeling of anxiety.
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE - is a way for the students to perform their academic obligations
in schools.
BEHAVIOR – the manner in which one behaves, in this study it includes on the students way of
responding to an action, environment, person or stimulus.

CHAPTER II:
Stress management is a practical guide for the treatment of stress; it focuses on stress
reduction for effective adjustment of people generally, people experiences all kinds of stress:
physical stress, psychological stress, social stress, academic stress, emotional stress and others. This
brings manifestation of maladaptive behaviors, suicide, cultism, rape, drug abuse, and child abuse
etc. We all know that stress is a major factor that hinders effective adjustments of people. Stress
management is paramount to the people’s adjustment process. The book is based on outcome of a
research of Two therapies (REBT & RECT) were effectively employed for stress reduction and
assist to ensure an improving academic, physical, psychological, social and emotional adjustment.
A study on Stress Management explains that students who have developed a proper attitude
to learning, and good learning techniques and habits, should not worry about stress. Stress is
essential for affective study and memory, but it is the excess- anxiety, worry, fear of failure, and etc. -
which creates a level of stress high enough to cause loss of memory and memory blocks in
examinations. This is what students fear that they will not be able to remember what they have
learned. Of course, if they have not learned the work in the first place, stress or not stress will make
no difference.
According to Criszelda Torres (2015) the program was evaluated over a one-year period
(using comparison and control groups) and has been shown to improve coping skills, self-esteem,
quality of relationships and mood, as well as reducing the frequency and impact of stressful life
events and daily stress-levels of depressions and anxiety also decreased following participation.
According to George Essel and Patrick Owusu (2017) stress is the process by which an
individual or a person react when opened to external orinternal problems and challenges. The
organism processes numerous systems to coordinate such adaptive responses both systematic and
cellular levels “by this, stress has direct effect on the brain and the whole anatomy of the body as
such failure to adapt to a stressful condition can result in brain malfunction, physiological problem
and also many areas of psychological challenges in the form of depression, anxiety, pain and
burnout. Physiologically, stress-related disease in the form reproduction, cardio vascular, metabolism
and gastrointestinal disease are determine by great areas of genetic and development factors which
are different from a person to a person but also symptoms of this disease maybe similar sometimes.
8
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
According to the theorists William James and Carl Lange (1884 & 1885), might have
separately proposed their perspective theories on the correlation of stress and emotion, but they had
a unified on this relationship- emotions do not immediately succeed the perception of the stressor or
the stressful event; they become present after the body’s response to the stress. For instance, when
you see a growling dog, your heart starts to race, your breath begins to go faster, and then your eyes
become wide open.
According to James & Lange, the feeling of fear or any other emotion only begins after you
experience these bodily changes. This means that the emotional behaviour is not possible to occur
unless it is connected to one’s brain. The term “STRESS” refers only to stress with significant
negative consequences, or distress in the terminology advocated by Hans Selye, rather than what he
calls eustress, a stress whose consequences are helpful or otherwise. Stress produces numerous
physical and mental symptoms which vary according to each individual’s situational factors. These
can include physical health decline as well as depression. The process of stress management is
named as one of the keys to a happy and successful life in modern society.
Although life provides numerous demands that can prove difficult to handle, stress
management provides a number of ways to manage anxiety and maintain overall well-being. Despite
stress often being thought of as a subjective experience, level of stress are readily measurable using
various physiological tests, similar to those used in polygraphs. Many practical stress management
techniques are available, some for use by health professionals and others, self-help, which may help
an individual reduce their levels of stress, provide positive feelings of control over one’s life and
promote general well-being. Evaluating the effectiveness of various stress management techniques
can be difficult, as limited research currently exists. Consequently, the amount and quality of
evidence for the various techniques varies widely. Some are accepted as effective treatments for use
in psychotherapy, while others with less evidence favouring them are considered alternatives
therapies. Many professional organizations exist to promote and provide training in conventional or
alternative therapy.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This chapter is the presentation of the method and the procedures that the researchers used
in conducting the study. It compromises the research method, tools and equipment and research
procedures.
RESEARCH DESIGN
The researcher used the descriptive as the application based research in order to develop and
understand the key concepts mentioned in this study. This type of research design serves as a vital
core in providing a better avenue to come up at a more believable and realistic result.
The descriptive design applied through the analysis of the result of the survey that the
researchers will be conducting and will be used to determine the factors avoiding student’s stress.
The use of descriptive research design is significant in this study since it helps to illustrate the
different concepts related to the study, particularly when it’s time for the researchers to identify the
indications that a student is in state of stress.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
The researcher employed survey questionnaire for primary data collection. Through the use
of it, the researchers were able to know the respondents’ opinions and perceptions regarding on the
topic. The questionnaire was contained questions itself which also composed of choices of their
answer. Thus, the questionnaire was in open-format for ease of interpretation and availability of
information. The questions were made by the researcher, and then it was consulted to researcher’s
teacher for further correction and suggestion.
13
SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
The researcher used the probability sampling in data collection and gathering. Relevant data
was best extracted by using this kind of process. The researchers gave a questionnaire to those
selected respondents to know the factors behind student’s stress and its effect to their academic
performance. Also, method of sampling data is used to gather information from selected
respondents who are capable of giving out reliable info with knowledge and expertise.
The researcher came up with 50 respondents. They are all SHS students in San Agustin. In 9
sections of Grade 11, we selected 10 respondents each.
DATA COLLECTION
The way data collected was being discussed in this part of the research study. Questionnaire
is a paper containing series of questions formulated for an individual and independent answering by
several respondents for obtaining statistical information. Each question offers a number of probable
answers from which the respondents, on the basis of their own judgment, will choose the best
answer. This data collection will help the researchers gather data quickly and will not require too
much effort.
DATA GATHERING
The researcher has followed certain procedures in the conduct of this study.
1. Choose certain title. It is must that we choose a title for our study and defend it to the
panellist until it was approved.
2. Securing permit to conduct the study. The permit to conduct the study was made and
filed in the office of the school principal.
3. Preparation of the instruments. Questionnaire is a principal tool in gathering data. The
first draft of the instrument was made in coordination with the adviser so that the survey
tool is reliable and valid.
14
4. Administering the questionnaire. The researchers distributed personally the
questionnaires to the individual respondents of San Agustin (Stand Alone) Senior High
School. Confidentiality was given in order to assure cooperation and to avoid inhibitions
from the respondents in accomplishing the questionnaire
5. Validating the instrument. After the distribution next is the validation of the
questionnaire. It is analyzed and interpreted through the data gathered and finally
formulate the conclusion and recommendation of this study. The formula used:
P = f/n x 100
Where:
P = percentage
f = frequency
DATA ANALYSIS
The researchers used descriptive analysis to analyse the data gathered. The type of questions
asked by the researchers ultimately determined the type of approach necessary to complete an
accurate assessment of the topic at hand.
15
CHAPTER IV
This chapter shows the data gathered from the survey questionnaires distributed to
randomly selected respondents. The results are tabulated and interpreted by the researchers to
provide an evaluation of the research study.

CHAPTER V
The study attempted to determine which strand in Grade 11 in San Agustin (Stand Alone)
Senior High School and to analyse the academic stress to them. There are three specific research
aims namely: (1) to determine the reason behind student’s stress, (2) to analyse the coping threats of
stress in order to manage it by students and (3) to find out the possible effect in the student’s
academic performance when stress is already avoided.
The method of research used was based on descriptive research design concept that looked
into the views and opinions of the respondents. A total of 50 students from chosen samples were
randomly selected as respondents. The sampling method used was probability sampling while the
instrument used in data gathering were a survey questionnaire. Descriptive analysis was used for the
data analysis. The results were analysed using frequency and percentage distribution.
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
20
6. Enjoyable bonding with friends and family, achieving my academic goals, giving time to relax
and seeking for someone’s advice was the key on coping up with stress. It is a significant to
the students to come up with the ways to lessen stress for them to achieve a better effect.
CONCLUSION
The results of the study reveals that the factors avoiding stress or the best way to manage is
to relax and don’t be into it. It signifies that it is not advisable to worry about on how to overcome
this psychological problems because there is a high possibility that the problem might get worse.
Instead, the best way to cope up with it was to enjoy bonding with friends and family, achieving my
academic goals, giving time to relax and seeking for someone’s advice was the key on coping up with
stress. It is somewhat giving leisure time to yourself and time to enjoy life not only on focusing to
have a higher grades but on making a break-free as a reward for being a good student. It means that
when the students are far from stress that the academic performance is also affected. Furthermore,
there is a high chance that the academic performance of a student will increase as the worries that
they have decreases. When they already free from stress, it improves their self-esteem to participate
in different activities in school, give them courage to accomplish all of the school works so it
resulted for them to obtain a higher grade which symbolizes that when stress is already avoided,
there are effects in the student’s academic performance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
For the school, the researchers recommend that they should limit the school works for the
students to have a less worry about. It is important as it keep their school life an interesting one.
Instead of unlimited school works, the school should also consider the sake of students, by means of
implementing a school related activity that give refreshment to the emotional aspect of the student.
Those activities lessen the capability of students to become stress as well as it alleviates the stress
that the students are in.
21
For the students, the researchers suggest that the students should not consider stress as one
of the problems they will have a difficulty to deal with. There are lot of simplest way to avoid stress,
the one of which is to relax and don’t be into. It means that the students should not focus on their
stress itself but on the ways in order to cope up with it.
The researchers recommend this study as a reference or as a basis in order to cope up with
stress, it serve as a guide in order for those individuals be aware on the effects brought by stress. In
line with the future researchers, this study would be useful for the betterment of their study related
to this topic.
