Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 26, Issue 9
Abstract
This study aimed to determine the challenges encountered of senior high school learners in Hindang and Kabacsanan National High School, for SY 2023-2024 and to examine how these challenges impacted their academic performance and overall life situations. A descriptive-correlation research method was used, involving survey, on the challenges encountered and academic performance assessments. A pilot testing was conducted with thirty senior high school learners at Bunawan National High School, to test the validity of the study since the researcher used a modified questionnaire. The respondents of this study were the 176 senior high school learners from above mentioned schools. Results indicated that learners in hinterland schools encountered various challenges, including personal challenges, environmental challenges, educational challenges, and parental involvement challenges. Despite these obstacles, the study revealed that learners demonstrated remarkable resilience and determination in managing their academic performance. Analysis of academic records suggested that the challenges faced by learners did not significantly hinder their ability to excel academically. Moreover, findings suggested that learners’ life situations were not adversely affected by these challenges, indicating a capacity to navigate through difficulties without compromising their overall well-being. This resilience was attributed to various factors, including the support systems within the school environment, familial support, and individual motivation. The study underscored the importance of recognizing and addressing the specific challenges encountered by learners in hinterland areas. With these challenges and available existing support system, educators work towards ensuring equitable access to education and fostering resilience among senior high school learners in hinterland schools.
