During the pandemic most of the student had no good knowledge foundation due to
modular and online type of learning. The students are the most important and valuable assets of a
country for they will be the one who will succeed to the position of other persons who wish to
stop from working due to old age and incapability. Students are the man power of a nation. It is
they who will build the nation with their skill hand and work experience, if they are equipped
with good knowledge and skills, they would be able to contribute their part to the social and
economical development of the nation. It is also the responsibility of a student to give their best
efforts and capability to their whole academic career. The employers of companies need skilled
and professionals to be added to their crew. The students should improve their skills and their

is an engineering program which requires our knowledge of mental, namely cognitive features
with the exception of their physiological characteristics (it is only tested through physical
proficiency exam to which the candidates are subjected when they enrolled into the
programme) of the students studying in the programmes are not much more than adequate.
However, if it is considered that the students are participated in 240 ECTS credits of a 4-year
programme that has a partially practical training which requires at least a 12-month practical
experience in sea vessels, these students’ individual learning characteristics and evaluations
of the learning process are obviously important for improving the quality of the learning
experiences of students who are studying in the programs.(Çetin & Şeremet 2016)
Academic institutions must provide an updated curriculum; modern facilities and equipment;
efficient student services; responsive organization and administration; and educators must
possess effective teaching techniques and strategies to ensure and maximize the learning of the
students as a response to the needs of professional education, society particularly in maritime and
shipping industries (Laguador & Dotong, 2013; Orence & Laguador, 2013). Reyes (2013)
emphasized that the aim of education is to create teaching and learning environment that would
bring about desired changes in learners such as making them more knowledgeable, skillful or
Doyle (1985) observed from his study that those teachers are successful in the classrooms
that use a variety of techniques and interactive styles to teach as compared to those who use
formal methods. Another important factor in this regard can be the region or area to which the
students belong. It has been observed from the study conducted by Washbrune (1959) that
students who belong to the urban areas give better academic performance as compared to those
who come from less populated areas. The reason may be the facilities and resources are available
in abundance in the urban areas regarding curricular and co-curricular activities as compared to
the rural areas where these facilities are less available. The impact of family size is also very
important in the children quality performance. This kind of relationship that exists between the
family size and the children’s performance is well known as quantity-quality model (Becker,
Thus, this study aims to identify the factors affecting the academic performance of the
students at St. Therese-MTC Colleges Magdalo Site during the Academic year 2022-2023.

The Maritime Program in the Philippines is one of the well-known college degrees for
male students who aspire for higher salaries while working abroad. The value of what the
students are learning provides higher motivation and gives a strong foundation to perform their
responsibilities and work harder in achieving their goals. Maritime Industry is considered one of
the largest industries in the world which needs a good number of qualified and highly skilled
graduates to sustain the productivity and efficiency of all economic activities involving sea
transport of people and goods. The ever-changing global environment entails the importance of
research and creation of knowledge dedicated to maritime industry (Lau & Ng, 2015).
People are living in a world that keeps on changing, a world where the greatest assets of
knowledge, skills, personal traits, and significant social capability. No one knows what will
happen for the next ten to fifteen years to this generation. Today is the chance to aim for the
achievement of everybody's goals in life (Amitava Raychaudhuri, et. Al., July 2010).
With regards to academic performance, some of the BSMT students can cope up well
with their grades while others are having difficulties in maintaining their grades. Some students
can easily pass their quizzes and examinations while others are having a hard time. There must
be a reason why some perform well, and there are others who are having difficulties in doing
well. However, there are identified factors such as social, environmental, socio-economic, and
psychological that affects the performance of students (Amitava Raychaudhuri, et. Al., July
2010).
Several studies have been conducted to identify and analyze the various factors affecting
the academic performance of the students. A student's educational performance measurement has
performance, but these factors vary from person-to-person and country to country (Nchungo,
2013).
concepts, but they also learn how to interact and socialize with others. In this study, students are
affected by social factors; they usually form friendly terms and relationships with fellow
students. Involving in a social circle and friendships have a positive effect on the academic
outcomes of the students. As when one has to work on a project or prepare for a test, then group
study is, in most cases, beneficial. It also causes social satisfaction and happiness in one's student
However, in a peer group, the involvement of social activities sometimes leads to a bad habit
alcoholic beverages, and worst is the use of drugs. As of today, those habits are extreme rampant
to our society, especially to young people which has a short and long term on their personal
development and social adjustments. The consumption of the drug affects cultures, family, peers,
and institution. Attention is needed to show the importance of exposure to risk factors, such as
experiencing situations of violence, bullying, and contexts with drug availability, affect the
students' performance. A series of national and international researches have adopted as an object
of study the
relationship between academic excellence and use of drugs among students. The prevalence
of alcohol and cocaine use in the sample studied was similar tothe national average; however, the
prevalence of marijuana abuse was higher than the average Souza et al. (2019)

hips yielded useful direct and indirect links with general self-esteem. Also, indirect positive
relation academically, but mediation via school engagement was not as bad as that of perceived
same-sex peer relationships. These results generalized across gender and age groups
(Liem,2011).
Poor and inadequate facilities and instructional materials affect the overall performance
of the students. Sufficient facilities promote academic achievement and ensure to strengthen the
overall institutional performance. Lack of power supply, instructors, classrooms, and lack of
educational materials negatively affect the academic success of the institutions (Hussainand
Suleman, 2018)
Another study reviewed that some of the factors that influence students' academic performance
pointed out, learning facilities and materials such as classrooms have a profound influence on
their performance. Environmental factors include student's class schedules, class size, textbooks,
students' performance. Classroom factors also include extracurricular activities, family problems,
increase good relationships among students and between teachers and students. Some students
feel that they belong in the school community, that they are valued, honored, and not
discriminated. Monitoring of learning and teaching requires paying attention to student's
academic results and the effectiveness of school and classroom procedures on enhancing one's
significant predictors for student's performance at school. Low income of the parentimpedes
academic success and development on the part of the students. Most financially needy students
are made to repeat a grade due to low academic performance, and this has contributed to
increasing school dropout rates. Student's academic performance can be affected by a chain of
social-economic factors resident in parents, family, and network. Parental education also effects
on students' academic performance. There are well-educated parents can provide such an
environment that suits best for the academic su-success of their children (Farooq et al., 2011).
A stressful situation can have effects on some individuals. This claim is particularly valid for
students going through a transition phase, shifting from home to university campus. At times,
students experience stress as they leave too much to accomplish in a very sudden period. As a result, they
sleep less, which increases their stress level to a greater extent(Bhattacharya, 2018).
Other studies stated that the most common stressor for students is the fear of failure. In line with
that, they are striving to meet assessment deadlines, feeling overwhelmed by their workload, and
n the study of Saqib and Rehman (2018), psychological factor such as stress has a significant
impact on student's academic performance. Stress can cause severe emotional harm, leads to
confusions during a discussion. The student will not be able to comprehend well in class, and
less productive on their quality of life. Students perceive stress in a multi-factorial way from both
academic and non-academic factors. Stress occurs when a person has a lot of tasks, and it can
significantly affect educational performance. Students should have strategy according to the
demands of educational life because school works usually meets stress activity.
