Definition Of terms
Academic Retention. This term refers to the process by which the
student absorbed the application. Or what method they can simply gain their
academic retention.
Application and classroom activity. This term refers to the process by
which the students given an activity which is related to their topic. The examples
of activity are quiz bowl, games, and laboratory activity.

Research Design
The researcher used the descriptive correlational design to examine the
result of the two variables in the study. And used to answer on how the teaching
and learning activities have an effect to the academic retention of the 3 rd year civil
engineering in Saint Joseph Institute of Technology.
It is descriptive because it is used to answer the question what. It is also
used to describe the situation of the two variables. It is correlational study
because it is used to determine whether if there is a relationship.
And it is also correlational because the researcher tries to determine the
relationship of the two variables which is the teaching and learning activities and
the academic retention with the help of some data and information from books
and internet.
Respondents/Subject
The total population of the institution enrolled in 3 rd year engineering
students in Saint Joseph Institute of Technology is 70. And the researcher
focused on the 3rd year civil engineering students with a population of 26. And
since it is only 26 the researchers decided to pick all of them to answer the
questionnaire prepared by the researchers. So that it will not be biased for the 3 rd
year civil engineering students who are taking their respective course in Saint
Joseph Institute of Technology.
Research Instrument
The researcher uses a questionnaire as a tool to gather information from
the respondents of their research. There are 3 parts of the questionnaire. Part 1
is the background of the respondents this is done for us the researcher know
their respondents though it is option not to write their name to respect their
privacy. Part 2 is the teaching and learning activities rating. Part 3 is the
Academic retention rating.
Data Gathering
The researchers will ask permission from the dean of College of
Engineering and Architecture to allow the Third civil year Engineering Students
student to answer the questionnaire. The questionnaire will be distributed inside
the campus and they will explain it to the respondents of what is the purpose of
the study and the researchers also should ask their permission.
Teaching and Learning Activities and the Academic Retention Of the 3 rd year
engineering students of Saint Joseph Institute of Technology
The study is aimed to assess the academic retention of 3 rd year
engineering students of the College of Engineering and Architecture in order to
determine areas for improvement in the Teaching and learning activities.

Research Locale
The SJIT Main Campus, located at central part of Butuan City, is
composed of three 5-storey buildings and 7-storey building. It has a total campus
area of 4600sq.m. Bounded by Montilla Blvd. at the western side, T. Calo St. at
the south, R. Calo St. at the east and Rosales St. on its northern side. The 5storey L-shaped old bldg. that was constructed on 1980 has 4 classrooms, two
administrative offices and five laboratories. The 5 th floor is occupied by local GMA
channel 7 TV station and Killer Bee FM station.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
Introduction
In this study, we investigate the relationship between Teaching and
Learning Activities and the academic retention of 3 rd year Civil Engineering
students of Saint Joseph Institute of Technology. The idea for the study stems
However, once the students are in universities, there is another challenge: how to
retain them? In Sweden for instance, where the number of new entrants to
engineering programs has grown 50% in the last 15 years, the graduation rates
have simultaneously declined significantly. This illustrates a common problem;
the students apply for engineering degrees, but the universities fail to retain them
(Forsman 2011). Van den Bogaard (2011) has also pointed out that engineering
students tend to drop out of university more often and they take a longer time to
graduate than their peers on non-engineering programs. For example in Sweden,
around 7000 students register in Masters programs in engineering each year.
There is currently much interest not only in access to higher education but also in
student successes.
Not surprisingly, concern about high dropout rates in higher education has
also increased over the years, since although participation in higher education
has expanded significantly in recent years, the proportional figure for dropout has
remained relatively stable at least in the UK (Thomas 2002). There is also a
large body of international research and theory exploring the impact various
individual, social and organizational factors on student retention in higher
education (Thomas 2002).
The difficulty with international comparison often lies in the differences
between national systems, concepts and performance indicators. This is also the
case with student retention- a complex, confusing and context dependent
concept-which is not only difficult to define in universal terms but also rather
challenging to measure and control. It has, however, been suggested that
withdrawal from university can arise either from voluntary withdrawal or from
forced withdrawal (academic dismissal).
Retention and dropouts are also widely used concepts and typically
defined as two sides of the same coin. Simplistically, retention is staying in
university until completion of a degree and dropping out is leaving university
prematurely (Hagedorn 2006).
A national survey (HSV 2009), however, shows that around 2200 of them
drop out this type of engineering education. The same survey also shows that
only about 37% of the students graduate within the nominal study time (in
2005/2006and 2006/2007), whereas the typical study time tends to be nominal
study time plus 1 year for approximately 70% of the graduates and the nominal
study time plus 2 years for approximately 86% of the graduates. Another
interesting example comes from the Netherland.
