Finding if the new implemented class schedule affects the academic performance of Grade 12

ABM students in their specialized subjects. The researchers utilized a quantitative non-experimental

descriptive research design in conducting a survey on 223 Grade 12 ABM students of University of

Perpetual Help System in Biñan City, to gather the data that is needed in conducting the study. The

researchers focused on finding the result of the newly implemented class schedule, if it really affects

the academic performance of the respondents particularly in their specialized subjects.

The findings revealed that student’s academic performance is affected by the new class schedule

but it has positive effect. The respondents said that they can finish their school task and they can gain

more knowledge because of enough time given to them.

Keywords: Class Schedule, Academic Performance, ABM students
