Effect of School on a Student's Academic Performance Research Proposal Paper

Effect of School on a Student's Academic Performance

Introduction
Schools are the second home of the students. Within the four corners of the classroom, students are expecting to learn through the series of subjects, from basic counting to the literature writing and so on. In addition, the teachers are always present together with their module to build the knowledge for their future. School is the most desirable institution that should be always present in every country and therefore, it can definitely change the lives of the young people.

Background and Problem Statement
Aside from the traditional pedagogical teaching techniques, schools are also opening the new educational intervention to provide the student’s learning needs. The most popular teaching techniques that are available are the use of the technology such as the computer to increase the educational level and academic performance. The use of computers and Internet can deliberately provide learning outcomes to their students (O’Dwyer, et al., 2005). However, the most common problem that may arise is the protection and security of the users (both students and teachers) in viewing the networking sites. Still, many educators believe that academic performance of the students should not only rely on the technological innovation but under the care of the educational institution or schools.

Research Aim and Objectives
The main aim of the study is to investigate the essential effect of schools towards the students’ academic performance. In order to align all the ideas and information in delivering the said goal, there are three supporting objectives. First is to give details on the common problems of the students in achieving the academic performance. Second is to describe the various actions of the schools in providing the appropriate education with regards to the challenges being faced by the students. And last is to recognize the effects of the schools in the level of education in their respective countries.

Literature Review
There are many split opinions and suggestions on how to improve their students’ academic performance. Students are plagued with different issues and challenges in achieving the success in academic; however educators and school administrators said that the problem is not about the performance standards of the schools (Edyburn, 2006). The problems identified include the inadequate background on the lecture of the teachers and their long working hours inside the classroom. As for the students, they have lack of time to study and seeking advice, lack of management skills, bad study habits and skills, and lack of self-confidence. At some point, students are vulnerable in the personal problems like in their family, responsibilities in both social and extracurricular activities, and financial problems (Addus, Chen, & Khan, 2007). The academic performance can still be achieved through the students’ initiatives and commitment to attain a good education should reflect on their study habits and cooperation, and motivation and efforts to seek assistance might result to the academic performance. The use of the technology and continuous promotion of the schools on the educational interventions are viewed as an effective step to fill the learning gaps of the students. The collaboration of technology and teaching among the schools can be a good start in academic performance (Edyburn, 2006). Within the school, there is a continuous research and development process to improve the curriculum and increase the social communication. The increase participation of the students inside the classroom is a recognizable performance towards their openness and learning that can result in their overall development (Adeyemo and Kuye, 2006; O’Dwyer, et al., 2005). In addition, the educational investments such as providing other facilities can strongly contribute to increase the academic performance of the students. With the help of the investments and support of the government, there is a strong indication of effectiveness of the schools in delivering the academic performances (Kang, 2007).

Methodology
The most desirable method is the use of the secondary information coming from the report of the schools (whether in primary, secondary, or tertiary/college). The secondary data can be also acquired from the national achievement test that was implemented in the country. It can be also obtained from the survey that was conducted in the participation of the educators in different levels and from the education department’s assessment on the changes on educational level from the past year up to the recent.

Conclusion
Schools are the institutions that should be supported by the government and they should receive the adequate attention to adequately provide the desirable academic performance of the students as perceived by the parents.
