CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
One of the most annoying experiences for the teachers is when students are
absent. Their prepare lesson plans with the objective that 100% of the class will learn
from the day’s classroom activities, and it is most satisfying when all students are
present on that day and the days thereafter to ensure maximum learning.
Sadly, it is very difficult to achieve perfect attendance. No matter how interesting
and well-prepared their lessons and teaching materials are, there are bound to be
students who miss out on the day’s activities—willingly or unwillingly. We would like to
minimize this problem, if not eradicate it completely. That is why we conducted an action
research to understand them better. We wanted a more accurate analysis of why some
of my students are perennial absentees, so we could formulate plans, projects, and
programs to minimize their absences. We hope that it also enlightens you. Even if you
are not an educator, you may be able to help a student to stay in school.
In the context of the senior high school especially in Carmen National High
School is the habitual or failure from going to school. It cannot be denied that every now
and then, students may miss some school activities and lesson, but it becomes a
problem if the students will be away from school for a many days. Going to school
regularly is crucially important for the student education and social skills. They miss out
on critical stage of social interaction cause of absences.

According to Malcolm, Wilson, Davidson and Kirk (2003) teachers identified
effects of Absenteeism on children as: academic under-achievement, difficultly in
making friends which could lead to boredom, loss of confidence. This can have an effect
on the progress of all the students attending the class. The families of habitual
absentees can also suffer. For a poverty family, it may mean a continuation of the
poverty and unemployment cycle that may run in the family.
The success of Carmen National High School in carrying out its primary charge
of educating and socializing students is contingent on students attending school
regularly. In recognition of the importance of regular school attendance to quality
education, attendance becomes a priority goal. Educators have long emphasized the
importance of class attendance.Only in the classroom may the student hear the
teacher's presentation, participate in class discussions, and enjoy the benefits of
spontaneous interactions between the students and teacher. It comes as no surprise
that students with high absence rates earn lower grades than students with better
attendance.Student absenteeism has been a problem for years. Department of
Education State that Carmen National High School have developed policies,
procedures, and programs aimed primarily with the objective of reducing and
preventingstudent absenteeism.This causal-comparative study addresses the need for
an evaluation of Public Schools attendance policy and attendance program and its
perceived effects on Senior high school Students attendance. School absenteeism is an
alarming problem for teachers, parents, society in general, and pupils in particular.
Absenteeism also affects the teacher’s ability to present class work in an organized
way. This can have an effect on the progress of all the students in the class. This also
contributes to family conflicts. Society also suffers when school-age children or students
are not in school. These children may hang out on the streets. Since they have nothing
to do, they resort to petty crimes like stealing other people’s belongings and property.
Others may become addicted to drugs or engage in other destructive behaviour. Thus, if
a student keeps away from school for too long, he/she may grow up to be a liability to
his community and his country as a whole.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This research explores the effects of the tardiness and absenteeism in academic
performance of the Senior High students in Carmen National High School.
Here are the questions this study wants to answer:
1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of:
1.1. Age
1.2. Gender
1.3. Occupation
1.4. Family status
2. Is there a statistically significant

interaction between grade level (11 and 12 for year 2017-2018) and gender (male,
female) with respect to year 2017-2018 high school attendance after adjusting for
initial differences on the 2016-2017 Senior high school attendance?
3. What are the perceptions of students, parents and teachers regarding the new
attendance policy and attendance program after one year of implementation?
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The studies provide important information on “The causes of absences of
Senior High School in Carmen National High School. Thus, this study would be very
significant to the following:
TEACHERS
The Teacher will manage the students to their presence/ time of the students
every period of classes every day and manage their absences every class in a day and
they have also a record if the students arrive or absent each day.
PARENTS
The Parents will guide their child to go every day to school and they should
monitor them every day if their children arrive or absent in the class. Parents need to
know their child`s attitude and they encourage them to participate in the class and not
being absent.
STUDENTS
The study will be meaningful to the learners for they will be equipped with the
acquired knowledge.
SCHOOL
This will be useful for the output will serve as benchmark in pursuing further
thoughts on the cause of absences of senior high school in Carmen National High
School (ANEX SCHOOL).

FUTURE RESEARCHERS
The result of this study may serve as their basis for further studies especially in
gaining ideas of the causes of absences of senior high school in Carmen National High
School. They may widen the scope in order to deeper the result of the evidence.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
This study focuses in causes of absences of Senior High School in Carmen
National High School. Respondents involved in this study will be the Senior High School
students of Carmen National High School for School Year 2017-2018.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS
This study focus on the absenteeism of Senior High Students in Carmen National
High School. Its concern is to aware and avoid the absenteeism of the Senior High
Students and its effects to their School performance. This study will give suggestions
and advices on how to avoid absenteeism.
Absenteeism it is a tendency to be away from School without a reasons
particular habit of being absent. It seemed to be one of the problem in a particular
School and also the problem of teachers.
Research shows that absenteeism can affect academic performance in later
grades and is a key early warning sign that a student is more likely to drop out of high
school. Several states enacted legislation to address this issue, and many states are
currently discussing the utility of absenteeism as an indicator of school quality or
student success (SQSS) in their accountability systems under the Every Student
Succeeds Act (ESSA). This policy brief provides information for policymakers and state
education leaders on the research, key issues, and policy options available to address
absenteeism and improve attendance.
Absenteeism has been a common and very extended problem in university
spheres for several years. This problem has become a permanent feature in academic
studies in general, yet it has received scarce empirical research attention. This work is
focused on the analysis of the factors that determine Senior High School absenteeism.
It evaluates a series of reasons or causes that prevent students from attending lessons
regularly both if they are reasoned (involuntary absenteeism) or not (voluntary

absenteeism). This study is based on a sample of 139 students in the Grade 11 and 12
Senior High of the Degree in Tourism. Our analysis shows us that absenteeism is a
complex and multifactorial phenomenon. Seven determining factors of absenteeism
were obtained: efficiency, teaching style, academic interest, teaching contents and
format, classmates influence and fears, imponderables and convenience. The
dimension "Teaching Style" is given the highest average score.
The aim of this study was to examine the direct and indirect relationship between
student school absenteeism, personal factors (academic self- perception, attitudes
towards teacher and school, goal valuation and motivation/ self-regulation), family
factors (parents' educational level and income), and academic achievement in structural
equation model. 139 students in Grade 11 and 12 in Senior High School students
participated in the study. The findings revealed that student absenteeism was negatively
related to academic self-perception, attitudes towards teacher and school, goal
valuation, motivation/ self-regulation, and academic performance. Results also revealed
that student absenteeism differed in respect to parents' educational level and income.
Results from SEM analyses noticed that personal and family factors significantly predict
previous and current student absenteeism. SEM analyses also revealed that previous
student absenteeism significantly predict previous academic achievement. Finally, SEM
analyses noticed that previous student absenteeism and previous academic
achievement can predict current student absenteeism. Contribution and implications of
these findings were discussed in detail. [This paper was presented at the International
Congress on Education for the Future: Issues and Challenges (Ankara, Turkey, May
2015).]

Making Schools Healthy for Students and Staff
Levine, Jack B.
School Business Affairs, v78 n10 p25-26 Nov 2012
Superintendents and boards of education more often than not choose "books over
bricks" and their repair and maintenance budgets usually are lower than what they
need. However, they all recognize the importance of healthy schools for students and
staff. Is there a way to improve the condition of one's school buildings without spending
a lot of money? Yes, it is possible. Amity Regional School District 5 in Connecticut went
from being the poster child of poor indoor air quality to a nationally recognized model of
sustained excellence of indoor air quality. District staff members try to head off costly
problems from unhealthy or unsafe buildings (i.e., high absenteeism and low morale,
respiratory illnesses, lawsuits) by implementing a comprehensive preventive
maintenance program. This article discusses how the school district was successful in
implementing the EPA's Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Tools for Schools (TfS) program which
helped the district improve indoor air quality without breaking the bank.

Truancy: Short and Long-Term Solutions.
Reid, Ken
This book offers guidance on dealing with the problem of truancy and non-attendance. It
provides examples of the latest ways that schools, teachers, education welfare officers,
and local education authorities in the United Kingdom have worked to overcome their
attendance problems, identifying 120 short-term solutions and several long-term
strategies. Twelve chapters focus on: (1) "The Challenge of Truancy and School
Absenteeism" (e.g., truancy and crime and teacher attitudes); (2) "Typical Schools"
(case studies of two secondary schools working to combat truancy); (3) "Short-Term
Solutions I" (e.g., classroom assistants and role play); (4) "Short-Term Solutions II" (e.g.,
key skill lessons and flexible tuition times); (5) "Short-Term Solutions III" (e.g., free bus
passes and specialist attendance staff); (6) "Short-Term Solutions IV" (e.g., attendance
panels and staggered start times); (7) "Long-Term Strategic Approaches I" (the primary
secondary color coded scheme); (8) "Long-Term Strategic Approaches II" (the
secondary school three group scheme); (9) "Parents and Parental-Condoned
Absenteeism" (e.g., anti-education parents and laissez-faire parents); (10) "Alternative
Curriculum Schemes"; (11) "Mentoring"; and (12) "The Way Forward." (Contains 11

School Crime and Juvenile Justice.
Lawrence, Richard
In the face of an unprecedented increase in school crime and violence, this book
addresses school crime as a two-dimensional issue consisting of the problem of crime
in schools and the role of schools in preventing delinquency and dealing with delinquent
students. This book reviews the theories that attempt to explain the relationships among
school crime, crime in the community, the role of parents and peers, and schools'
organization and policies. Recent educational research, information on laws and school
policies, prevention strategies, and alternative schools and special education programs
for delinquent and at-risk students are discussed. The following chapters are included:
(1) "Delinquency and the Schools"; (2) "School Crime and Violence"; (3) "Explaining
Delinquency and School Crime"; (4) "Families, Peers, Schools, and Delinquency"; (5)
"Absenteeism, Dropout, and Delinquency"; (6) "School Structure and Delinquency"; (7)
"School Law and Students' Rights"; (8) "Juvenile Justice, Police, and the Court"; (9)
"Juvenile Corrections"; and (10) "School-Based Programs for Delinquency Prevention."
Providing schools that are free of crime, drugs, and weapons demands the consolidated
efforts of the entire community. Many of the school-based delinquency prevention
programs that have been implemented show promise in helping improve the attendance
and school performance of young people and reducing their delinquent behavior. An
appendix lists National School Safety Center resources. (Contains 13 tables, 1 figure,

Turn off the Television and Read
Hodapp, Albert Fed
Reading Improvement, v53 n3 p114-120 Fall 2016
Aaron (2005) described the "family as the nation's smallest school" and "the home as
the first school." Furthermore, studies document that 90% of the differences in
academic achievement can be explained by five factors: (a) two-parent households; (b)
school absenteeism; (c) amount read for homework; (d) quality and quantity of home
reading materials; and (e) hours watching TV Aaron (2005). The purpose of this paper is
to focus on the latter two factors.

Blogs as Learning Tools in a High School Science Class for At-Risk Learners: An
Ethnography
Woods-Wilson, Cyndy J.
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Capella University
Learners become at-risk of failure for myriad reasons. Absenteeism and the resulting
missed learning is one major reason students become at-risk of failure. Learners
consistently in the classroom often participate in conversations about the relevance
and/or application of the lessons but high absenteeism, coupled with frequent moves,
means losing valuable classroom experiences. Changing schools usually results in
different curriculums, books and study sequences. An Internet blog can be a virtual
learning tool where learners post questions, thoughts, reflections and new learning, all
in the same virtual space they have been using. The familiar blog spot becomes a
virtual backpack, never lost in a move. This ethnography will describe the effects of
mediated, subject-specific blogging in a high school science class with at-risk learners.

The Impact of School-Located Influenza Vaccination Programs on Student
Absenteeism: A Review of the U.S. Literature
Hull, Harry F.; Ambrose, Christopher S.
Journal of School Nursing, v27 n1 p34-42 Feb 2011
A literature review was conducted to summarize the impact of school-located influenza
vaccination (SLIV) programs on school absenteeism. Seven studies were identified: six
peer-reviewed articles and one conference presentation. The number of students
vaccinated ranged from 185 to 5,315, representing 35-86% of enrolled students. Six
studies compared absenteeism for students in SLIV schools and control schools; all
found absenteeism decreased in SLIV schools. Three studies compared absenteeism
for vaccinated and unvaccinated students in SLIV schools; all found that absenteeism
was reduced for vaccinated students. Benefits were also reported to extend beyond the
vaccinated children; one study found that absenteeism was significantly reduced among
high school students when elementary school students were vaccinated. The available
evidence indicates that SLIV programs reduce student absenteeism during the influenza
season. Additional research into sustainable funding sources and the comprehensive
effects of SLIV programs on students, families, staff, and the community is warranted.

Fernández-Sánchez, Carmen; Strizzi, Jenna M.; Torres-Alegre, Pilar; Santisteban-
Martínez, Joaquin; Gimenez-Sanchez, Francisco
Journal of School Health, v86 n12 p873-881 Dec 2016
Background: We assessed the effectiveness of a handwashing program using hand
sanitizer to prevent school absenteeism due to upper respiratory infections (URIs).
Methods: This was a randomized, controlled, and open study on a sample of 1341
children 4-12 years old, attending 5 state schools in Almería (Spain), with an 8-month
follow-up. The experimental group (EG) washed their hands with soap and water,
together with using hand sanitizer, and the control group followed their usual
handwashing procedures. Absenteeism rates due to URIs were compared between the
2 groups through a multivariate Poisson regression analysis. The percent of days
missed in both groups were compared with a z test. Results: Overall, 1271 cases of
school absenteeism due to URIs were registered. Schoolchildren from the EG had a
38% lower risk of absenteeism due to URIs, incidence rate ratio: 0.62, 95% confidence
interval: 0.55-0.70, and a decrease in absenteeism of 0.45 episodes/child/academic
year, p < 0.001. Pupils missed 2734 school days due to URIs and the percentage of
days absent was significantly lower in the EG, p < 0.001. Conclusions: Use of hand
sanitizer plus handwashing with soap accompanied by educational support is an
effective measure to reduce absenteeism due to URIs

Teachers' Acceptance of Absenteeism: Towards Developing a Specific Scale
Shapira-Lishchinsky, Orly; Ishan, Gamal
Journal of Educational Administration, v51 n5 p594-617 2013
Purpose: This study aims to develop and validate a measure of a specific attitude
toward teachers' absenteeism that predicts this behavior more accurately than other
general measures of job attitudes. Design/methodology/approach: Participants were
443 teachers from 21 secondary schools in Israel. In the first phase, the teachers
answered anonymous questionnaires related to their general attitudes and their specific
attitude through "absenteeism acceptance". In the second phase, each teacher
submitted copies of his half-year absenteeism records six months after the end of the
first phase. Findings: The authors used CFA to cross-validate the different job attitudes
measures. They confirmed the construct validity of "absenteeism acceptance" through
convergent and discriminant validity, finding relatively weak negative relationships
between "absenteeism acceptance" and the general job attitudes. The criterion validity
and predictive validity of the new measure was confirmed by intercorrelations that were
found to be relatively stronger between "absenteeism acceptance" and the two
measures of absenteeism (frequency, duration) than between the general job attitudes
and these two measures. Quasi-Poisson regressions indicated that "absenteeism
acceptance" emerges as a better predictor for both of the absenteeism measures than
other general job attitudes. Practical implications: This new measure will benefit schools
and principals by allowing them to identify potential absenteeism antecedents and
enable early intervention. Originality/value: Whereas past research on work absence
focused primarily on general attitude antecedents, the present study addresses a
specific "absenteeism acceptance" measure. This measure can be advantageous in
both understanding and predicting voluntary absenteeism more accurately than general
attitude measures. (Contains 5 tables and 1 figure.)

What Is the Influence of a Compulsory Attendance Policy on Absenteeism and
Performance?
Snyder, Jason L.; Lee-Partridge, Joo Eng; Jarmoszko, A. Tomasz; Petkova, Olga;
D'Onofrio, Marianne J.
Journal of Education for Business, v89 n8 p433-440 2014
The authors utilized a quasiexperimental design across sections of managerial
communication and management information systems classes (N = 212) to test the
impact of compulsory attendance policies on student absenteeism and performance.
Students in the compulsory attendance policy condition received an attendance policy
that punished excessive absenteeism. Students in the other condition received a policy
that told students they were expected to attend but offered neither reward nor
punishment. Results suggest that the compulsory policy reduced absenteeism. The
policy's effect on performance depended on the student's level of prior academic
achievement. The authors discuss the findings.

Chronic Absenteeism and Its Effects on Students' Academic and Socioemotional
Outcomes
Gottfried, Michael A.
Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk, v19 n2 p53-75 2014
Recent policy dialogue suggests that chronic absenteeism is not only
underdocumented, but is also detrimental to the success of students as early as
kindergarten. That said, almost no empirical research has examined the effects of
chronic absenteeism on student outcomes. This study addresses this underresearched
issue in more depth. Using a nationally representative dataset of kindergarten students
from the 2010-2011 school year, this study evaluates the effect of chronic absenteeism
on both achievement and socioemotional outcomes. The findings suggest that chronic
absenteeism reduces math and reading achievement outcomes, reduces educational
engagement, and decreases social engagement. Hence, this study offers new evidence
on how an undermeasured aspect of missing school impedes students' attainment.
Implications for policy and practice are discussed.

Absenteeism, Educational Plans, and Anxiety among Children with Incontinence and
Their Parents
Filce, Hollie G.; LaVergne, Leslie
Journal of School Health, v85 n4 p241-250 Apr 2015
Background: Children with incontinence have more absenteeism, poorer academic
performance, and potential social difficulties during the school years. These children
and their parents are at risk for illness-related anxiety. Whereas educational plans are
designed to remediate educational, medical, and social-emotional barriers at school,
little research has explored the relationship among absenteeism, educational plans, and
anxiety for this population. Methods: Eighty-three families provided demographic
information and completed either the Revised Children's Manifest Anxiety Scale Second
Edition (RCMAS-2) or the Adult Manifest Anxiety Scale (AMAS-A). A multiple regression
analysis was conducted to determine the relationships among these variables. Results:
Children with chronic illness resulting in incontinence had greater than expected rates of
absenteeism. A high level of absenteeism was a significant predictor of parental anxiety,
but not child anxiety. Over one third reported having no plan in place to support the
child's needs at school. However, when a plan was present, it had no impact on child or
parental anxiety. Conclusions: Absenteeism contributes to familial anxiety and
educational difficulties. Despite the potential for educational plans to support these
children at school, these plans are underutilized for children with incontinence. This
population requires more attention to their academic and social-emotional well-being at
school.

School Climate and the Experience of LGBT Students: A Comparison of the United
States and Israel
Pizmony-Levy, Oren; Kosciw, Joseph G.
Journal of LGBT Youth, v13 n1-2 p46-66 2016
This article examines the school experience of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
(LGBT) students in the United States and Israel. Through comparison of the
sociocultural and edu-cational contexts, the authors assess whether school experience
of LGBT students differs or operates similarly across countries. The authors use data
from the National School Climate Survey conducted in 2007 in the United States and
the Israeli School Climate Survey conducted in 2008 in Israel. In comparison with their
Israeli counterparts, LGBT students in the United States were more likely to experience
assault and harassment in schools but were more likely to have access to LGBT
supportive resources in their schools. Results from multi-variate analysis show that
negative school climate affect absent-eeism and school belonging similarly for both
countries.

Why Indigenous Perspectives in School?: A Consideration of the Current Australian
Education Landscape and the Ambiguities to be Addressed in Literacy Teaching
Shipp, Cara
English in Australia, v47 n3 p20-24 Dec 2012
Aboriginal literacy is a difficult area of education with no neat answer; rather, a
multifaceted approach to improving Aboriginal students' outcomes is needed. This
article focuses on bringing Aboriginal perspectives and voices into the classroom; using
the tools of multiliteracies and scaffolding literacy techniques; and being able to
accommodate absenteeism. The author discusses the need for better teacher cross-
cultural awareness and establishing connections to families and communities.

Studying Absenteeism in Principles of Macroeconomics: Do Attendance Policies Make a
Difference?
Self, Sharmistha
Journal of Economic Education, v43 n3 p223-234 2012
The primary objective of this article is to see if and how attendance policy influences
class attendance in undergraduate-level principles of macroeconomics classes. The
second objective, which is related to the first, is to examine whether the nature of the
attendance policy matters in terms of its impact on class attendance behavior. The
results provide strong support that having an explicit attendance policy reduces
absenteeism. The results relating to the nature of the attendance policy point to the
greater effectiveness of a policy that punishes students for missing class rather than
one that rewards students for good attendance. (Contains 4 tables and 3 notes.)

Student Absenteeism: Whose Responsibility?
Barlow, Joyce; Fleischer, Stephanie
Innovations in Education and Teaching International, v48 n3 p227-237 2011
Internationally there is concern about levels of student absenteeism. Research
underpinning this article consisted of a survey of academic staff and 25 interviews with
first year students in a well regarded "new" university in Britain. The article explores the
issue of poor attendance and why a significant number of students seem to have
difficulty in engaging fully with their studies in order to become critical and autonomous
learners. We look at the role of government policy, institutions, educators, students,
schools and parents.
