The Role of Time Management to the Academic Performance of the College Students During Pandemic

Abstract

This study was undertaken to determine a statistical correlation between the role of time management and the academic performance of the college students during a pandemic. The population of the research consisted of distance learning students from the  Department of Technology Teacher Education of Mindanao State University-Iligan Institute of Technology. One hundred eighty-two participants belonging to different courses who were selected randomly, ranging from first year to fourth year, participated conveniently in this study. Survey questionnaires regarding time management on a five-point likert scale were used to collect data from respondents and were disseminated through Google forms. Before utilizing scales, professionals in the field review them for validity. The variables' previous GPA correlated with .139 and a significance of .061 indicated that they have no significant relationship with how students manage their time. It is concluded that both variables have no significant relationship with each other and time management skills do not affect students' school performance significantly. However, students should be aware of time wastage and take responsibility for enhancing their time management skills and maintaining their grade point average.
