Introduction

Time management in school is just as crucial as it will be later in life. It's critical that

children control their time spent on regular tasks). The majority of pupils run out of time

when given an assignment. others have plenty of time as they are, yet they are unable to do it

by the deadline. how to successfully manage their time. Effective time management always

leads to satisfaction and contentment in day-to-day existence. We cannot save time for the

future, therefore we must divide and allocate the available time among conflicting demands.

Never rise or fall below a 24-hour period. Additionally, contends that scheduling is very

important, particularly for university students, as it improves their productivity and GPA.

Students typically lack the organizational abilities necessary to prioritize their assignments.

They are task averse, unclear, and lack focus. Setting goals is a part of allocating time, as

makes the case that we should be aware of our time spent. Our most critical tasks must be

prioritized in order to that we can finish these initiatives in the order that they are important.

From the viewpoint of the pupils, Higher academic achievement is correlated with efficient

time management techniques. Additionally, contended that setting priorities for tasks can

improve the enjoyment of work and studying, which lessens tension, worry, and inefficiency.

to achieving this. Numerous tasks to complete, but occasionally there is not enough time.

Thus, one has to understand how to spend time wisely and productively in order to fulfill the

obligations of school every day as well as in their other life problems.

Effective time management is one of the strongest strategies for dealing with tight

management to the pupils as well as the elements that influence effective time management.

It is possible for management to be ineffective or excellent. There exist Three factors that

impact effective time management are: tardiness, socializing and setting priorities. To

procrastinate is to put off accomplishing a task. That must be completed. Setting priorities is

interacting with others. Students have a plenty of work responsibilities at school, and they

also have their

own strategies for handling those expectations and tasks. There searchers are curious about

these tactics to see if they have any related to their scholastic achievement Effective time

management is crucial in all area of our life, including individual capacities within companies

and institutions. In relation to Time is valuable to students, instructors, administrators, and

the institution in its entirety. These factors have provided the researchers with the notion to

start their investigation into the connection between time academic achievement of pupils and

management. One person cannot complete all the required tasks on their own actions. Thus,

people cooperate or join groups. Collectively as organizations and groupings. Each and every

organization (such as a family, university, or commercial venture, a church, an army, or a

government) is essentially a collection of those working to achieve certain shared goals.

Anita is necessary for a central body or organization to oversee the actions and endeavors of

kind of organ is known as "Management."

capacity to set aside time to time management is finishing the assignment. If we examine our

time management practices, we can identify the lost time. If we use some timesaving

techniques, We'll get important time back (Bharathi, T. et al., 2004). The pastime

management is not to be confused with controllable. In actuality, time is unmanageable. By

Conceptual Framework

Pickle Jar Theory, which was put forth by Jeremy Wright of 2002 is running out of

time. According to Wright's idea, our lives are similar to the jar and Its volume or available

space is restricted. He clarified that each day, People frequently pack both significant and

trivial items into their jars. actions. According to his theory, people ought to be able to

ascertain what matters and what doesn't. They would then be able to prioritize. and what is

deserving of one's time. This will enable them to effectively use their time and more to

complete more tasks by simply dividing the work and a task list.

It is relevant to this research because it addresses time management as well.

According to the notion, setting appropriate priorities is what the goal of research is to test.

The ideas incorporated into the theory are the subjects that investigators must examine. The

hypothesis discusses the Time is crucial for setting appropriate priorities.

The conceptual framework for the study” Kibatang Senior High School Learner’s

Perception on Time Management Skills on their Academic Performance” is not based on a

specific theory.

Time Management-Performance Theory. According to this idea, effective time

Goal-setting, prioritizing, and scheduling are examples of management abilities that enable

students to make better use of their time, which ultimately results in higher academic

achievement.
 Motivation and Self-Regulation Theory. According to this idea, students that have

strong Moreover, people with time management abilities typically exhibit higher levels of

drive, self-control, and self-regulatory skills, which support their achievement in school.

Cognitive Load Theory. According to this notion, efficient time management lessens

pupils' cognitive burden, releasing mental energy that can then be committed to education

and homework, which will eventually improve their performance.

Social Cognitive Theory. This idea states that senior high school students' time, their

evaluations of managerial abilities and academic success have an impact on their peers, in

addition to their own self-perceptions (self-efficacy) and the importance people attach to

academic success.

These theories highlight the various mechanism through which time management can

influence academic performance, including cognitive, and motivational. Empirical research is

needed to further explore and validated these theatrical perspective.
