ABSTRACT

Self-discovery, school errands, and educational achievements are all part of a student's life. However,
not all children are able to attend school while still meeting their fundamental necessities. As a result,
becoming a working student is now the norm and Calhoun (2017), stated that Learners frequently work
part-time jobs to augment their income while they study furthermore (Becker,1964) explained that
Student employment can help students improve their knowledge and abilities in preparation for their
future careers. The focus of this study is mostly on working students' actual experiences amidst
pandemic on how they deal and respond to the difficulties of being a working student in the midst of the
pandemic. This study is a Qualitative study which uses an Interpretative Phenomenological
Analysis(IPA) as the Research Design furthermore the study follows the questionnaire's structure in
order to get consent and data for the study's advancement.

Working students come with a lot of obligations as students experience a lot of challenges that make
them want to give up at times, however Tuttle and Lederman (2005) highlighted that working while
studying may help one thing while damaging another and the research had shown that many of the
students in this study have overcome various obstacles and exhibited their tenacity throughout the year
with the help of their parents and their commitment to finish their education by working.

Keywords: Work system, option, semi-structured, live experience, work environment.

 INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Working while studying is an uneasy arrangement for [Link] achieve a good academic
performance and earn at the same time requires perseverance and extra [Link] to Mitchell
(2016), being a working student can be stressful mostly in balancing quality time with the family,academic
loads,social life and [Link] the other side, student employment can enhance students knowledge and
skills for their career path (Becker,1964).

Part-time jobs are common among students in order to supplement their income while studying;
for low-income students, this is often essential. Students who are desperate enough may enter stressful
and toxic work environments (Calhoun,2017). Covid 19 affects many working students in the present
time (2021) approximately 876,225 is positive in this case in the Philippines. Many of the students enter
the field of working while studying to support their studies and daily needs stated by Tuttle Lederman
(2005) .According to Parks-Yancy (2012), most low-income parents expect their children to contribute
financially and emotionally to the household while they are not in class or doing homework. Families
assume that working students have a lot of free time which is actually the opposite.

The COVID19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the global labour market, particularly among
nonstandard workers. During this pandemic, layoffs and suspensions of workers have increased
dramatically, particularly among nonstandard workers in fulfilling our government strategy such as ECQ,
GCQ and MECQ on confronting the pandemic.

This study aims to have an in-depth analysis of the experiences of working students amidst
pandemic, to acknowledge their efforts in pursuing education while working and to explore how the
students cope up with the difficulties they've been experiencing. Lastly,this study aims to provide a
solution that may help the working students.

Statement of the Problem

This study sought to answer the following questions:

[Link] are the experiences of working students amidst the pandemic?

[Link] difficulties have you experienced as a working student during this pandemic?
1.2 What are the advantages of these experiences while working and studying?
[Link] are the challenges that you've encountered as a working student during this Pandemic?
2.1 How do these challenges influence your academic performances?
2.2 How do you manage your time while studying and working?
[Link] do you respond to the obstacles you’ve experienced as a working student amidst the pandemic?
3.1 How do these obstacles affect you as a student?
3.2 What are those obstacles you have experienced and how do your parents respond to you
being a working student?

Assumptions
There are certain reasons why students apply for a job and most of it is due to the financial
[Link] while studying can also enhance the student skills that are related to their future career
(Furr and Elling,2000). By conducting this study,the researchers made up the following assumptions:

1. With the lived experiences of working students, this study will provide the facts about their
struggles that influence their studies.

2. The respondents are expected to share how they cope up with the obstacles of this uneasy
arrangement.

1
 3. It is assumed that the respondents will answer the questions accurately and [Link]
researchers are expecting to get enough and detailed outcomes from the respondents and are
capable of giving recommendations on how to deal with this kind of arrangement.

Scope and Delimitation

This study focuses on the lived experiences of Senior HighSchool Working Students from the
selected school in Cavite amidst the pandemic and how these students cope up in working while
studying. This study aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the living conditions of working
students, amidst the pandemic. This research conducted a virtual interview as part of this study to collect
information about the selected participants. Due to the pandemic, only a few students are working while
studying, so the number of participants in this study was reduced.

Significance of the Study

The following could benefit from this study:

Students - This study can provide insights regarding the condition of being a working student amidst the
pandemic to help the working students better understand the field of working while studying and also
raise awareness so that students can support their classmates who are in the field of working while
studying amidst the pandemic.

Parents & Guardians - This study will make the working students' parents and guardians aware of their
lived experiences so that parents can give consideration and support to their children.

Department of Education - This research would shed light on the working students' perspectives and
include insights that will aid in their understanding and development of new approaches in dealing with
working students amidst the pandemic.

Department of Labor and Employment - This study would give insight on the experiences of working
students and provide observations that would help in their understanding and creation of new approaches
to coping with working students in the face of the pandemic.

Future Researchers - They'd be able to use the details from this study to do an analysis or extend
studies in the subject of Working students amidst the pandemic.

Definition of terms

Cope - Verb and it means to deal successfully with a difficult situation.

Comprehensive - Comprehending or thoroughly understanding with one's mind
Havoc - Widespread destruction.
Monetary - Relating to money or currency.

Review of Related Literatures and Studies
Local Literature
Balancing job and Academics as a Working Students in the Philippines
According to Karl Nicole Nucum (2018), throughout the long term, the idea of "work-study
balance" has been a continuous battle for working understudies. While there can be various elements
included, monetary emergency is as yet the essential motivation behind why understudies participate in
time (or regular) positions. Running from school to work and shuffling scholastic necessities and
side-hustles while keeping your family, social, or love life under wraps is a genuinely overwhelming
undertaking.

Foreign Literature
The Experiences of Working While Studying: A Phenomenological Study of Senior High School
Students
According to the research of Abenoja, Accion, Aguilar, et al., (2019) financial support,
self-development, and internal motivation to integrate theory and practice are observed among the driving
forces of students working while studying.

The research results also show that the participants have a positive attitude and good time
management [Link], it demonstrates that the effective methods of overcoming the problems
they encountered are achieved through effective time management and self-reflection.

Local Studies
The Lived Experiences of Working Students in Western Leyte College
Brea Kayla Tajos (2019) stated that working and studying at the same time is difficult for working
students for the reason that the time spent on studies and work must be balanced. Students are
responsible for two things: putting in a lot of effort on the job and keeping a consistent academic
performance in class.

Students who work to support themselves are mostly from low-income families. Tuttle, Lederman
(2005) explained that going to work while studying could have a beneficial impact on one thing while
having a negative effect on another.

Foreign Studies

TWO IN ONE: STRUGGLES OF A WORKING STUDENT

The research conducted by Gutierrez, EvanImperial, VonManuel, et al.,(2018) stated that being a
working student entails a lot of responsibilities. They face a lot of challenges that sometimes make them
want to give up, so it takes a lot of effort and investing so much of the mental and physical energy that
can quickly make them fatigued, stressed, or both. In terms of academic performances.

Working students have struggled with the concept of "work-study balance" for many years. While
there could be a variety of factors involving the primary reason why students take on part-time or full-time
jobs is the financial crisis. (Nucum, 2018)

3
Theoretical Framework
The Human Capital Theory ( Becker,1964) stated that student employment can give provision for
students educational [Link] employment can enhance the students knowledge and skills such as
communication,time management,responsibility and learning how to deal with the authorities. The Human
Capital Theory is a theory that affirms how education can increase productivity and competence of
workers by increasing the cognitive stock of productive human capability (Woodhall,1997).

Synthesis
For several years, working students have struggled with the idea of "work-study balance."
Working and studying at the same time is challenging for working students due to the need to balance the
time spent on studies and jobs. Students must do two things: put in a lot of hard work on the job and
maintain a high level of academic performance in class.

Working as a student comes with a lot of responsibilities because they face several difficulties
which make them want to give up sometimes, but Tuttle, Lederman (2005) explained that going to work
while studying could have a beneficial impact on one thing while hurting another. Brea Kayla Tajos (2019),
stated that employed students are more self-assured and have better time management skills than
students who are not employed. Working also provides students with independence, preparation, and
experience. According to studies, they are more accountable to others.

 METHODOLOGY

Research Method and Design

This study is a Qualitative study which used an Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis(IPA) as
the Research [Link] (2017),stated that Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis focuses on
explicit lived experiences of an [Link] is a qualitative approach in which researchers explores how
the participants understands their social world and how they give meaning to their lived experiences
(APA). This research design is adaptable for this study which seeks to analyze the lived experiences of
working students amidst the pandemic.

Sampling Technique
The respondents of the study are chosen using the Purposive sampling technique of Patton,
(1990) it was asserted that Participants are selected for a specific reason, the researchers picked their
respondents to suit a very particular purpose, knowing the daily life experiences of working students
amidst the pandemic. Working students are often described as someone who works full-time and studies
part-time. (Randstad, 2020). The participants of the study are required to be actively working students
during the pandemic. The researchers selected five respondents to provide their own authentic
experiences.

Research Instrument
The researchers used structured interviews as a qualitative research method where the
interviewers' questions are planned and created in advance to lay a standardised interview schedule and
questionnaires (Zojceska, 2018) in which the respondents read out precisely as worded. McLeod (2018),
explained that the researchers will use a series of questions to gather information from the participants
which can be done in phone call , computer or post, it can be a close-ended or open-ended question.
Creswell(2012), stated that open-ended questions are asked during interviews so that the participants
can elaborate their answers [Link] researchers used open-ended questions for an in-depth
analysis depending on how the participants answered.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers will state the progression on how the researchers gather the [Link] (5)
interviewees were chosen on purpose, based on the requirement that respondents will be working
students from various schools, around Cavite.
The researchers spent a significant amount of time and effort developing efficient questionnaires for
the selected participants. Following the composition of the questionnaire to obtain consent and data for
the progression of the study. The researchers will conduct a virtual individual interview with the
respondents and inform them beforehand. The respondents are accountable to observe, to take note, and
document the conducted interview. An interview was conducted to collect evidence in order to affirm the
reliability of the data. The researchers will also inform the respondents about the significance of their
participation in the study.
Afterwards, the respondents will answer the surveys and interview. The researchers will ensure a
total number of participants, which is five working students. Then, the data will be tabulated and analyzed
by the researchers.

5
Data Analysis Procedure
The researchers transcribed the video recorded interview to interpret the statements of the
respondent's in the study. The researchers also make use of the process of categorizing which is referred
to as "coding." Remigiusz (2019), It was explained to be a process of identifying passage in a text or other
data items searching and identifying concepts and finding relations between them, in line with the
response of the participants the researchers also concluded the concept of Interpretative analysis and
lastly in addition to interpreting the statements of the respondent's the researchers will make use of
thematic analysis. Jack Caulfield (2019), explains that it is the approach for evaluating qualitative
thematic data analysis. It's typically used to describe a group of texts, such as interviews and transcripts.
The researcher analyzed the data carefully in order to find identical trends of the study.

The little light was chosen by the researchers to represent Participant 1. Participant 1 is surrounded by
darkness,he is facing his own battles in life and neglects to notice that he,himself, is the little light in the
darkness. The researchers observed how the participant aims to help his family in the best thing he can
do. No matter how dark the path he's going to take he is willing for the sake of his family.

Table 2. Participant No. 2: Perseverance

The summary table shown above was the interview of participant 2 a.k.a Perseverance. There are three
themes used in the table which are Balancing, Persistent, and Hard working.
The first theme is Balancing in which participant 2 shared how she handled her situation as well as the
advantages of being a working [Link] the balancing theme are Time Management and Useful
that serves as the sub themes.

The second theme is Persistent. This is where participant 2 stands for her purpose as a working
[Link] Oriented and Matter of Priorities are the sub themes of persistent.

The last theme is Hardworking in which participant 2 shared how her situation affected her as a student
and still getting support from her family. Busyness and Supportive are the sub themes.

nababayaran ko yung sarili kong pangangailangan sa school....
Meron pang ibang financial problem, pero kasi yung lola ko kasi kailangan talaga ng.."

The researchers chose the moon to symbolize the Second Participant. The moon is surrounded by
darkness, and it is independent. Participant 2 doesn’t have parents to rely on, whenever she needs too,
and that makes her a more independent and strong woman. Because in the very first start she
encouraged herself not to look at the bad side, instead to look at the positive side of her situation.

Table 4. Superordinate Theme

This table showed the three superordinate themes that answer the general research questions such as
Endurance, Progressive and [Link] mentioned in the general research question no. [Link] are
the experiences of working students amidst the pandemic? In accordance to the participants answer
ENDURANCE came to be the most highlighted modality among the others that was
[Link] is the capability of continuously doing something that is challenging and agonizing
for a long time without giving up (“Endurance”,2021).For general question no. 2, the researchers got a
superordinate theme of PROGRESSIVE to answer the question no. 2, What are the challenges that
you've encountered as a working student, during this Pandemic?Progressive is defined as an
advancement, going forward, moving onward, characterized by striving for change and innovation. (Jazz,
1908) and the challenges that the participants encountered made them progressive in their works and
studies during this time of pandemic. Lastly, for general research question no.3, How do you respond to
the obstacles you’ve experienced as a working student amidst the pandemic? STEADFAST is the
superordinate theme for general question no. 3 and it means firm in adherence to whatever one owes
allegiance, not subject to change and firmly fixed in place (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary,
1828).

Conclusion
This section closes the gaps of the research paper.

The researchers were able to decide and classify the results that addressed the general research
questions in accordance to the findings of this study.

1. Among the modalities listed, ENDURANCE appeared to be the most prominent.

2. Endurance became the foundation of the working students to be PROGRESSIVE in their works
and studies.
3. The students' progressiveness leads them to be STEADFAST in their roles both in schooling and
working that keeps them on striving.

RECOMMENDATIONS
This part shares the future concerns for the following institution/unit:

Senior High School Working Students. To give them an overview on how other working students face
the challenges of being a working student amidst pandemic.

Senior High School Teachers. To give provision to them with guidance on how to make an approach on
working students during this pandemic.

Department of Education. To take into account the real-life experiences and preferences of working
students when making a decision that is appropriate for their situation.

Public School Communities. People in public schools should consider descriptive analogies of human
experiences to raise the morale of working students within their institution.

49. nakaka-ano rin siya ng oras kasi papasok ka na sa trabaho, late pa ganun. Tapos sabay
50. natutunan mo na rin magkaroon ng time management sa school tsaka sa trabaho kasi ginusto

 SYMBOLISM

Participant No.1: Symbolism for the Researchers – LITTLE LIGHT

The little light in the darkness was chosen to symbolize Participant 1. Participant 1 is surrounded
by darkness,he is facing his own battles in life and neglects to notice that he,himself is the light in the
darkness. Even though he is surrounded by darkness he still has his own way to keep on going. He is
aware of the darkness and it doesn't hinder him to stop thriving though there are times that he is on the
verge of giving up.
Whenever these struggles are trying to conquer him,he always stands up and conquers his
struggles. His life was full of challenges and yet he used these challenges as an avenue to be the better
version of [Link] the forest of darkness he walked confidently with the little light as his hope. He did
not do it just for himself but he did it selflessly.
Participant 1 aims to help his family in the best thing he can do. No matter how dark the path he's
going to take he is willing for the sake of his family. Participant 1 has already come this far and yet he can
still go [Link] his life surrounded by darkness he has his light which he doesn't know he has is enough
to keep him going.
 Participant No. 2: Symbolism for the Researchers - MOON

The Participant 2 will be symbolized as Crescent/Moon because she gives light to her dark
situation that gives a smile and cheerful energy to her family. In her life, she works hard because her
family isn’t by her side. Even though she had that kind of situation she still managed to stand and be a
good role model to everyone. Just like the moon that gives light and model to everyone together with the
star that shines so bright. Moreover, her dark situation doesn’t stop her from fulfilling her goals in life but
instead she uses this situation as a motivation to keep on going.
Participant 2 doesn’t have parents to rely on, whenever she needs too, and that makes her a
more independent and strong woman. Because in the very first start she encouraged herself not to look at
the bad side, instead to look at the positive side of her situation. Furthermore, participant 2 is trying to
become a center to her family just to give light to their dark situation like the moon, who gives light to find
the direction of a dark road. She had gone through a lot but she never let it stop or affect her study and
work because she knew if she showed weakness all of her effort will be wasted.
Lastly, our Participant 2 aims to help her Grandmother/Family. Her dark situation isn’t considered
as her hindrance but she makes it as her motivation (light) to reach her dreams in the future. So that's
why being a chosen one to be symbolized as a moon is very difficult but at the same time it gives hope to
every person who has a darkness past/situation
 Participant No.3: Symbolism for the Researchers - TREE

Participant number 3 can be symbolized as a big tree. He serves as a guardian of their family
from floods of problems and penetrating heat of the sun. Participant 3 chose to be a working student and
no one has forced him to do so. Through this, he grows stronger and more reliable although sometimes
he feels weakened. He still stands firm for his family and for continuing his studies. like a tree no matter
how hard it is as long as it is alive it will keep on growing and growing until it's capable of warming us all
and protecting us from heat and flood of life.
He takes the importance of time and pushes himself to finish his studies to find a better work
environment. He knows how hard life is and takes part in family problems. His root is too deep and wide
that covers all his difficulties and only looks for improvement.
Participant number 3 believes that all works are worth it giving your whole effort in all things that
you do is important like a tree that doesn't know what the future holds there might come a typhoon, snow
or maybe a great summer but as long as it is alive it will do its very best to live and grow stronger.
“sa school ganung kahirap pero kaylangan ma ano ka mag isip alam mo dapat at tsaka di ka nag
sasayang ng oras ayung lang". - Participant 3
 Participant No.4: Symbolism for the Researchers - CARABAO

Carabao symbolized a strong will,determination and hard work just like participant [Link] he
showed diligence and perseverance in working,Even though everyday he was tired from his work, that
didn't stop him from helping his [Link] also gives half of his salary to sustain the needs of the family
and also in his education. He doesn't think about the obstacles he goes through just to be able to work
for his family and in his [Link] participant 4 is full of determination to finish his study to have a better
life and a better future when the day comes.

Participant 4 also knows how to manage his time just to balance his study and work just like
carabao full of strength,full of determination to finish work and the hardship is the key to [Link] his
age he became an independent man and at the same time the breadwinner of his [Link] gain more
and more experience at his age that he can apply in the future when he’s journey start.
So that’s why participant 4 symbolizes carabao because the willingness of his heart to help his
family and at the same time his determination,strength,love,hardship and goals are the main reasons why
he still keeps on fighting in life.
 Participant No.5: Symbolism for the Researchers – MUSICAL ALBUM

To symbolize participation 5, a musical album was chosen. Participant 5 is a very vibrant person
he prefers to go with the mood, problems may come he always chooses to face it with passion like a
musical album. It's not constantly happy and sad but it changes its mood in different conditions.
Every trial he faces he always decides to linger in it, like a song in an album even if the song is
sad or painful he let it go on finish it and pass unto him, he takes it as another opportunity to better
himself just like as he said in the interview "mga oras na nakaupo lang nagagamit ko sya like sa trabaho
di sya nasasayang kasi magagamit ko sya sa future ko"
He is aware of the problems and challenges it brings unto him but he chose to stay on it and let it
comfort him like a sad song. Yes it is sad but it is what comforts us the most when we are at the downside
of our life.
“Sa totoo lang katulad sa last question ang ginagawa ko pag na wo-worn out ako mentally and
physically ginagawa nila imbes na i down nila ako tutulungan nila ako."
- Participants 5
