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

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.
