From Chaos to Control: Integrating Time Management, Increased Engagement, and Technology Solutions to Improve Punctuality of Students

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

Punctuality, defined as the ability to arrive or complete tasks at the designated time, it is a fundamental aspect of academic success and personal development. Punctuality remains a challenge for many students, with tardiness and absenteeism posing significant barriers to their academic progress. To assess the effectiveness of integrating time management, increased engagement, and technology-based solutions as a strategy to improve students’ punctuality, quantitative research design was adopted by the researchers for the study. The researchers used a quantitative research design. It is a descriptive analysis research method since the objectives of the study is to determine the differences of the previous data gathered before the implementation of the proposed intervention and innovation and the present data after the implementation. The research participants comprised the Grade 10 students from sections Gold and Radium. The interventions, which included structured schedules, technology integration, and interactive learning activities, significantly improved the punctuality rates of students in the Grade 10 sections examined. Before the implementation of these interventions, the average tardiness rates were notably high, indicating a prevalent issue with punctuality. However, after the interventions were applied, there was a marked improvement in punctuality, highlighting the effectiveness of these strategies in addressing the problem.
