PROPOSAL ABSTRACT

This study focused on the extremely effects of family induced pressure to the academic
performance of the grade 12 STEM students of STI Las Piñas. The researchers conducted this
study to know if there is a significant relationship between the extreme effects of family induced
pressure and the academic performance of the grade 12 STEM students.

The researchers will be giving questionnaires to the selected grade 12 STEM students about this
study. The researchers will used Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient to determine
if there are a relationship between two variables.

Lastly, the researchers wanted to know if the extreme effects of family induced pressure helps
the students to perform better on their academic performance and deeply understand the cause
and effect relationship.
INTRODUCTION

As we all know, Pressure is trying to force someone to do something; whether it is against on his
or her own will. Pressure is commonly known as one of the things people are dealing with. Is
family induced pressure have something to do with the performance of a student? Can pressure
affect their Academic performances?

The Effects of Academic Parental Pressure on kids by Modernmom staff (2016) stated that too
much pressure to do well in school can make kids do unethical things. For example, child who
has been told that they should get all A's on their report card could feel forced to undermine an
exam or task so as to satisfy that commitment. They may likewise swing to drugs as well as
liquor to manage the pressure. Watch out for your kid on the off chance that they are hinting at
any appearing to be particularly worried by school and converse with them in the event that you
have any questions or concerns.

Although there are bad effects of pressure, there are good effects as well. Students manage
pressure differently. An adolescent may join a volunteer task since the majority of his or her
peers are doing it. It depends on how the student handle the pressure they are experiencing.

Lindsay Dowdle (2017) said, pressure can be positive in a way that it can motivate you to do
better on your test, work, and it can also push you to your fullest potential. Pressure is one of the
things people need to go through, and once you know to handle it, it comes with benefits.
Pressure is one of the things we have to deal with at some point of our life.

A blog written by Beth Morrisey (2018) discussed the things people should know on how to deal
with Pressure from Parents. Most parents just want what is the best for their children, but when
their idea doesn’t match yours it can frustrate both parties. Use these guides on how to deal with
pressure from your parents: Remain Calm, Know your argument, enlist the aid of an Expert, and
be willing to compromise. Parent pressure can make your home life a horrific experience, yet
following these convenient hints should help reduce the pressure and let you all meet in the
middle. However, in any case, your parents are pressuring you to the point that you feel
imperiled either physically or mentally, contact a trusted adult such as, a family companion,
teacher, specialist or policeman quickly. Otherwise, hold tight in light of the fact that this too
will pass.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Pressure, a word that is often interpreted as one of the things that is affecting people negatively.
During these days, these so called pressure have produced different variations that is also
producing variety of effects that can either help or hinder an individual depending on how they
are handling it.

Family induced pressure is one of them, according to “The Odyssey Online” it is when an
individual’s family has a certain type of educational attainment that they need to attain or even
when their family is expecting them to have good grades and be one of the top students.

The researchers conducted this study in order for them to know if family induced pressure has
something to do on how a grade 12 STEM student behaves. This research can also give
knowledge to the researchers whether pressure has a great impact or not.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter contains related literature. It is compiled in books, articles and internet searches
both local and foreign in different previous studies.

FOREIGN LITERATURE

Alexis Beauclair (2015) “The Pressure on Today’s Students” stated that, In Palo Alto, Calif.,
there is apparently no space for anything sort of 100 percent achievement; these students
originate from families that are knowledgeable and well off.

By differentiate, Carlos Escanilla, who scored ineffectively on the SAT and was an average
student in secondary school, didn't expect particularly of himself. However he finished school
and doctoral level college. Mr. Escanilla's story is a helpful one of flexibility, assurance and
coarseness.
According to the Odyssey Online (2016) Pressure is being applied by a parent when they are
expecting a student to achieve any type of academic goals most especially when they are
expecting them to be one of the top students, or even if they keep on telling these students to
graduate on time.

Also, as a teenager student also needs to learn on making their own financial decisions and make
use of their money in a proper way. This study states that this could also imply pressure to
students.

Relationships can also be a reason for a student to experience pressure, because when a student
does have a relationship with someone, there are times where they are worrying about their
partner and also there are times where they will experience heartaches that will surely be a
pressure for them to carry.

As studied by Katherine Lee (2018) Given that the pressure to succeed is more noteworthy than
at any other time today as children confront expanded rivalry for scholarly and vocation
achievement, the researchers set out to discover what part guardians' states of mind played on
children's mental wellbeing and scholastic execution. They asked 506 6th graders from an
affluent community to rank the best three of six things they believed their parents wanted for
them.

They found that the best results were among kids who believed that their parents esteemed
graciousness as much as or more than individual accomplishments. Then again, children who
saw their parents as putting more accentuation on accomplishments over being caring to others
will probably encounter negative results, for example, wretchedness, nervousness, bring down
confidence, conduct issues, feedback from guardians, learning issues, and lower grades.

According to a blog titled “Effects of Parental Pressure on Students” students in the present time
encounters a lot of pressures due to education and school, and in which also the pressure from
the parents contributes as well. Parental Pressure has a lot of negative effects to a child in which
it can harm the self-esteem and creativity and can also cause stress and depression to a child.
Parents need to comprehend that their meaning of accomplishment may be not quite the same as
their youngster’s meaning of achievement. Too much academic pressure on the children can
backfire severely and end up affecting them negatively in several ways.

A blog titled “The Effects of parental involvement on academic achievement: a meta-synthesis”

(2013) studied the effect of parental association on understudy scholastic accomplishment has
been perceived by instructors, chairmen, and approach creators who view parental contribution
as one of the necessary parts of new instructive changes and activities. This examination
incorporated the aftereffects of nine meta-investigations that inspected this effect and it
recognized generalizes discoveries over these examinations. The outcomes showed that the
connection between parental contribution and scholastic accomplishment was certain, paying
little heed to a meaning of parental association or proportion of achievement the effect of
parental inclusion on understudy scholarly accomplishment was weakest if parental association
was characterized as homework help. At last, the connection between parental association and
scholastic accomplishment was observed to be steady crosswise over various review levels and
ethnic gatherings.

A journal titled “The effects of maternal parenting style and religious commitment on self-
regulation, academic achievement, and risk behavior among African-American parochial college
students” investigation was investigated relations between both parent and understudy, and
maternal child rearing style and understudy scholastic self-control, scholarly accomplishment,
and hazard conduct among African-American youth going to a parochial school. Eighty-five
students finished self-report overview proportions of religiosity, self-control, scholastic
accomplishment, and hazard conduct. Albeit no immediate relations were seen between child
rearing style and understudy, maternal child rearing style was found to direct relations among
parental and understudy religiosity.

According to Sujatha (2015) Parental weight for kids to exceed expectations in their
examinations has been strangely high. Not at all like different nations, peer weight does not
appear to highlight in the rundown of hardships of an Indian understudy. A convincing need to
exceed expectations in scholastics originating from the family, frequently tending to manhandle,
cripples the understudy's resolve and is one of the best foundations for disappointment and
breakdown, say driving clinicians. Disappointment in examinations is among the best 10
purposes behind suicide in the nation while family issues among the best three.

According to Heynes, specialists have turned out to be extraordinarily inspired by the impacts of
family structure on the scholarly accomplishment of youngsters. Most by far of these
examinations have concentrated on a couple of family structures in their analysis. The impacts of
seven family structure factors were inspected to decide the degree to which a few family
structures affect the scholarly accomplishment of youngsters. The consequences of this
examination show that the impacts of family structure on the scholarly accomplishment of
youngsters shift extensively among the most well-known family structures.

LOCAL LITERATURE

A blog titled “How Parental Academic Pressure Backfires to Children” (2017) stated that being
disturbed to their Cs and Ds isn't the answer for enhance their scholastic performance. Here is an
example of an excessive amount of scholastic weight does to youngsters: It might create pressure
and anxiety. Stress and uneasiness will in the long run show physically to the kids. It may not
show up now but rather the conclusion might be affirmed later in the kid's life. A portion of the
impacts of scholastic weight on the tyke's wellbeing are dietary issues, self-hardship, the runs,
stomach hurts, rashes, and cerebral pains.

According to a site by ABS-CBN; Salamat Dok, Numerous parents believe that academic
excellence is the establishment for progress. Have you asked your child what he/she feels about
it?

"A few kids see that you just cherish them since they consider hard or their evaluations are great.
The issue with this is the point at which they are as of now working, their accomplishments are
just founded on their psychological limit or competency however when they commit errors, they
lose confidence," said Jason Sanchez, Director for Student and Faculty Development at Morning
Dew Montessori.

Oversights bring down oneself estimation of the tyke. It is essential for guardians to recall that
their youngster's evaluations are not by any means the only factor to consider for progress.

A study written by Aileen S. Garcia & Liane Alampay stated that this investigation surveyed
relations of parental viability, experience of unpleasant life occasions, and kid externalizing
conduct to Filipino moms and fathers' parental antagonistic vibe and animosity. Orally-directed
reviews were led with 117 moms and 98 fathers for the principal year of information
accumulation, and again a year later with 107 moms and 83 fathers. Way investigations
demonstrated that moms' report of youngster externalizing conduct anticipated ensuing parental
antagonistic vibe and hostility. For dads, tyke externalizing conduct and experience of distressing
life occasions anticipated parental threatening vibe and animosity.

Also, fathers' parental viability was found to direct the connection between experience of
upsetting life occasions and parental threatening vibe and animosity. Results propose that
youngster externalizing conduct and experience of unpleasant life occasions have guide relations
to parental antagonistic vibe and hostility, while parental viability has a directing impact to it.
The contrasts between the outcomes for dads and moms are clarified with regards to
unmistakable child rearing jobs and child rearing in the neighborhood setting.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The purpose of this study is to bring knowledge to people that pressure from family is one of the
student’s dilemma.

This study is conducted to benefit the following:

a.) To the Parents – It will help them to be informed that the pressure they are giving can
affect their children’s academic performances.
b.) To the Senior High school students – It will help the students to furthermore understand
the effect of family induced pressure.
c.) To the future Researchers – This study can help gain new knowledge and additional
information about family induced pressure’s aftermath.

Grade 12 STEM students

The researchers distributed questionnaires to Grade 12 STEM students where they can rank how often they
experience family induced pressure, where they can rank it from never (1), seldom (2), sometimes (3), often (4)
and always (5). The respondents also have to indicate their academic performance from: 1 – poor (74 and below),
2 - fair (75-79), 3 – good (80-84), 4 – very good (85-89) and 5 – excellent (90 and above). The independent
variable is the family induced pressure.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

A theory titled "Family Systems Theory" introduced by Dr. Murray Bowen. This theory focused
of human behavior that views the family as an emotional unit and user systems, it is the nature of
a family that its member are intensely connected emotionally. So, if the parents wants to get a
high grades from his/her child, their child will be pressured because if the child not get a high
grades, child will giving a punishment and it will affect to their academic performance on their
school. And if one the member of family using a alcohol or what, this might bring out negative
feedback from their child and it may affect to their academic performance because of what they
seen or heard from their parents.
METHODOLOGY

The method of the researchers’ study is a quantitative research. This chapter defines the research
method used to conduct the study. The researchers’ explain how the necessary data and
information to address the research objectives and questions was collected, presented and
analyzed.

RESEARCH LOCALE

The study was conducted in STI Academic Center Las Piñas since the respondents are the grade
12 STEM students of the school.

RESEARCH DESIGN

This study is designed as a correlation type of research. The researchers’ aim was to determine if
there are relationship in two variables. The researchers’ objective is to know the relationship
between the extreme effects of family induced pressure and the academic performance of a grade
12 STEM student. The quantitative research method was used since it emphasizes the objective,
measurement, mathematical, numerical analysis and statistical data of the given variables
through questionnaires. The result and findings of the study was given by the Grade 12 STEM
students should conduct by the researchers to know the statistical study of the specific areas
where the proponents must concentrate.

POPUATION SAMPLING

Population sampling is the best process of taking a subset of subjects that is representative of the
entire population. The sample must have sufficient size to warrant statistical analysis – The
researchers target is the Grade 12 STEM students of STI Las Piñas. The reason why the
researchers need to gather data is because based on the title, the researchers need to apprehend or
know if the Grade 12 STEM students’ are affected by the extreme effects of family induced
pressure, so in this case the researchers’ only need to apprehend is the Grade 12 STEM students’
academic performances.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

To determine the answers from the respondents (students), the researchers will be giving a
questionnaire that related to the Extreme Effects of Family induced Pressure. It consist of five (5)
questions that the respondents should be answer. The questions made of researchers has easily
understand because it has a guideline.

STATISTICAL TREATMENT OF DATA

In determining if there is a relationship between the two ordinal variables, a computation of

Pearson Correlation Coefficient will be used, it aims to know whether there is a relationship
between two variables or not.

In formula:

𝑛(∑ 𝑥𝑦) − (∑ 𝑥) (∑ 𝑦)
𝑟=
√[𝑛 ∑ 𝑥 2 − (∑ 𝑥 )2 ] [𝑛 ∑ 𝑦 2 − (∑ 𝑦)2 ]
