Abstract:

The study described the respondent’s profile in terms of year level, sex, college, role in student activities, and perceived academic performance and found out if there was a significant difference on the perception on school activities according to profile. Using the quantitative research design, particularly the descriptive- comparative method, the respondents were college students who were identified through Slovin‘s formula and proportional sampling among the colleges. The study utilized a survey questionnaire. Statistical tools used were frequency counts, percentages, means, and analysis of variance. Majority of the student respondents were female, observers during activities, and perceived that their academic performance is good. The most participated co- curricular activities are seminar/workshops/symposiums along the field of specialization while the most participated extra-curricular activities are acquaintance/Christmas parties and mass/spiritual activities. The respondents had a high perception on school activities. There is no difference in the frequency of participation in activities in terms of sex and year level while there is a significant difference in the frequency of participation in terms of the college, the role of the student, and the perceived academic performance. There is no difference in the perception on school activities in terms of sex, year level, and perceived academic performance while there is a significant difference in the perception in terms of college and the role of the student.
