INTRODUCTION

Nowadays, students tend to be excluded from classes because of bad

weather. In fact, due to bad weather, students are most likely to get
sick, which impacts their attendance at class. As this situation not only
impacts the student's school attendance, it also affects their human
health and well-being through more extreme weather events.
The goal of this study is to establish how changing weather patterns
affects students ' motivation in class. In addition, researchers would like
to examine the relationship between school motivation and bad weather
conditions. Understanding the results of the data collected would
therefore allow researchers to explain the significant relationship
between the two phenomena or variables.

1. What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex and strand?
2.What is the level of weather disruption among the respondents in terms of weather conditions?
3.What is the level of motivation among the respondents in terms of absenteeism, class participation
and mood?
4.Is there a significant difference between the level of weather disruption among the respondents
when grouped according to age, sex and strand?
5.Is there a significant difference between the level of motivation among the respondents when
grouped according to age, sex and strand?
6.Is there a significant relationship between the levels of weather disruption and motivation among
the respondents?
FRAMEWORK

Teasly (2004) describes the Student Absenteeism Theory as a time in which a student does not attend
school for a number of reasons. Absenteeism is the general possibility of engaging in such a lack of
willingness. Teasly list ed many risk f act ors t hat
cont ribut e t o st udent absent eeism, such asf amily healt h, low
income, poor educat ion, weat her and climat e, drugs and alcohol use. In
line wit ht his st udy concept, the authors emphasize the weather and climate element of student
absenteeism.

Data Gathering Procedure
• Asking permission to conduct
the study
• Conducting the survey

The demographic profile of the

respondents covered the age, sex, and
strand. In the table, it shows the
frequency and the percentage of each
demographic profile.
 In the table, the mean and
standard deviation were analyzed
and interpreted. It only covers the
weather conditions, specifically, hot
weather andc loudy weather. It
shows that in the first indicator of
weather conditions, the overall
mean is 3.09 which is interpreted as
high. While in the 2nd indicator, the
overall mean is 2.66 which is also
high.
 In the table, the mean and
standard deviation were also analyzed
and interpreted. It covered the
absenteeism, class participation and
mood.

First, it shows the overall mean

of 2.24 which is interpreted as low.
Next, the overall mean is 2.72 which is
interpreted as high. Lastly, the overall
mean is 2.80, and also interpreted as
high.
 In this table, it shows the
significant difference between
the level of weather disruption
and the respondents according
to sex, age and strand.

Age, sex and strand

shows that there is no
significant difference between
the level of weather disruption
and the respondents.
 In this table, it shows
the significant difference
between the level of
motivation and the
respondents according to sex,
age and strand.

Based from the

interpretations, sex , age and
strand has no significant
difference.
 In this table, it shows
the signifiant relationship of
weather disruption and
motivation.

Based from the result

and its interpretayion, it
showed that there is a
significant relationship
C O N C L U S IO N S

Based on the results of the study, the researchers have concluded that:

Majority of the respondents were female in terms of sex, there are more
than 18-19 years old respondents than 16-17 years old, and the highest
number of the respondents were STEM students followed by ABM,
HUMSS and then TechVoch.
The researchers have also concluded that most of the respondents'
answers were interpreted as high level. Based on the findings, there
is no significant difference between the level of weather disruption
and the level of motivation when grouped to the demographic
profile of Grade 12 students but there is a significant relationship
between the level of weather disruption and the level of motivation
of the Grade 12 students in the University of the Immaculate
Conception.
