TIME MANAGEMENT SKILLS OF BPED STUDENTS: AN ANALYSIS
Abstract
This research study aimed to determine the factors that affect the time management skills of the BPEd students of College of Education in Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology, Sumacab Campus. Effective time management skills of BPEd students are important because it helps them to improve their self-confidence and performance. It is, indeed, true that well-organized time management allows students to make the most of their abilities and enjoy their accomplishment at the same time. Students’ time management were one of the factors contributing to students’ learning outcomes. Time management during forced-distance learning was particularly interesting to be studied since students were practicing it independently at home without the teacher’s direct supervision. This is where the responsibility of the students comes in, and that is to practice to use their time wisely. Therefore, students depend solely on their discipline in managing their learning time at home. Time management among the students has been the most underrated factor, yet one of the most crucial keys leading towards success. A person, who learns to manage time, accomplishes half of the work done even before starting it. A valuable talent to depend on at every phase of life, time management skills can only be harnessed with continuous practice and dedication to implement it in life (Sthitaprajnya Panigrahi, Sultan Agung Islamic University 2021).
The method used in this study was a survey questionnaire that was sent to the respondents, through online platforms like Messenger and Gmail. The questionnaire of this study was divided into four parts which are time planning, time attitude, academic behavior, and academic planning. As a result of this study, there is no significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the time management skill. The study showed that the students who can manage their time understand the relationship between it and productivity. Most of the BPEd students created a list of their goals and tasks on what’s to do and what’s to be done first, for them it is of a big help because it helps them to know what they need to prioritize.
