Abstract/Summary
This study deals with the analysis of the relationship that exists between non-intellective factors and academic performance of students at Bethel High School and their implications to the organization of guidance services. The descriptive-correlational research design was employed in the study. The independent variables used were non-intellective factors such as: socio-economic status, level of occupational interest, and personal adjustment. The students' grade point average or academic performance served as the dependent variable. The subjects of the study were 96 students at Bethel High School, Manila for the school year 1975-76. The four instruments used in this study were the Socio-Economic Status Questionnaire, California Test of Personality, Occupational Interest Inventory, and the students' academic record or GPA. The Pearson product moment formula was used to determine the relationship between non-intellective factors and academic performance. Findings of the study showed that most of the students belonged to the middle class socio-economic status. The students also showed higher preferences for white collar jobs over the manipulative-mechanical-technical jobs. Also, the findings showed that the students have varied personal-social adjustment problems. The profile indicated that the students performed in the average category. There was also found to be no significant relationship between academic performance and non-intellective factors.
The implications of the findings pointed out the need for organizing formal guidance services at Bethel High School in order to render systematic assistance to the students.
