Study Notes
Weather-Induced Absenteeism Theory (Grover & Glavas, 1987)
- Extreme temperatures, heavy rain, and snow/storms can cause physical/psychological/health problems, leading to absenteeism.
- Hazardous commuting due to bad weather can deter attendance.
- Low morale/motivation and worsening health are also absenteeism factors.
- Theory explains how weather affects attendance and workplace productivity in areas with harsh climates.
- Extreme weather (heat, cold, rain) is linked to higher rates of absenteeism/discouraged school attendance.
- Transportation issues and health concerns due to bad weather may affect student attendance rates.
- Weather can impact a student's mood and energy levels, affecting motivation to attend classes.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Motivation Theory (Rosenthal, 1985)
- SAD is a seasonal depression, often occurring in winter due to reduced sunlight exposure.
- Reduced sunlight exposure decreases mood-regulating chemicals in the brain.
- Symptoms include fatigue, low energy, and low concentration.
- SAD reduces students' motivation for school activities/attendance.
- Internal motivation (interests and personal goals) decline during SAD.
- Lack of motivation leads to poor academic performance due to lack of enthusiasm and assignment completion.
- SAD negatively impacts students' emotional well-being and academic motivation.
Study Methods
- Research design: Correlational study to determine the relationship between weather and student attendance.
- Target population: Grade 12 HUMSS students at Naga College Foundation, Inc. (2024-2025).
- Sample size: Determined using Slovin's formula with 125 students in the target population.
- Data collection: Structured interviews and close-ended questionnaires to understand lived experiences related to weather and attendance.
- Sampling technique: Stratified sampling (using specific grade levels) will be employed.
- Data Gathering tools: Close-ended questionnaire aimed at examining attendance patterns, tardiness, and the correlation between weather and attendance.
