Abstract:
This study assesses lived experiences and measures working students'
intelligence scores enrolled in Bachelor of Science in Medical Laboratory
Science Program at the University of Mindanao last 1st semester, S.Y.
2022-2023. This study employs a mixed-method approach, specifically a
concurrent triangulation strategy of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Further, this study used a survey questionnaire to get quantitative
data and conducted in-depth interviews to get qualitative data. Based on
the quantitative result, participants have high intelligence scores, and it
is oftentimes manifested. On the other hand, qualitative results showed
these dominant themes: exploring beyond limits, providing own needs
and the needs of the family, working while studying is not for everyone,
and taste the bitterness of reality. The qualitative themes suggesting challenges and realities faced by working students may influence their intelligence scores, with those experiencing greater adversity potentially
demonstrating lower scores due to increased stress and distraction. The
research implication of this study underscores the importance of recognizing the multifaceted challenges faced by working students and their
potential impact on academic performance, specifically intelligence
scores.
