Abstract

This study explores the factors influencing the academic performance of third-year Bachelor of Science (BS) Entrepreneurship students at Sorsogon State University, Bulan Campus. The primary objective is to identify the socio-demographic characteristics, academic performance, and external factors that contribute to the students' academic success. This research employed a total enumeration method, collecting data from 70 students. Descriptive statistical tools, including frequency counts, means, percentages, and standard deviations, were utilized to analyze trends and patterns in the data. The findings reveal that the majority of the respondents are male, within the traditional college age range, and come from low-income families. The students demonstrated a generally high level of academic achievement, with an overall General Weighted Average (GWA) of 90.72. Personal factors, including motivation, study habits, and time management, emerged as the most significant determinants of academic success, followed by socioeconomic status and teaching strategies. The study also highlighted the importance of effective teaching methods and a supportive learning environment in enhancing student performance. Despite the academic achievements, financial constraints were identified as a significant barrier for many students, impacting their access to resources and overall academic experience.

Abstract

This study assessed the implementation and sustainability of the SSC-DTI Business Education on Accounting and Training for SMEs (SSC-DTI-BEATS) Program of Sorsogon State University, conducted from 2018 to 2023. Specifically, it evaluated program implementation, examined sustainability in terms of number of beneficiaries, economic, social, and technical aspects, and identified factors contributing to its sustainability. The study also explored changes brought by the program to the lives of its beneficiaries. A mixed-methods design was employed. Quantitative data were used to measure sustainability levels, while qualitative insights were gathered through Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with beneficiaries. The FGDs provided thematic validation of results, particularly on the role of collaborative partnerships, resource adequacy, and monitoring practices. Findings show that the SSC-DTI BEATS Program was fully implemented during the Memorandum of Agreement period and achieved very high sustainability across all dimensions. Beneficiaries reported improved business knowledge and practices, leading to enhanced financial management and better quality of life. The study concludes that strong institutional collaboration, active stakeholder engagement, and efficient resource management are critical in sustaining extension programs. It recommends replicating the program’s second phase, “GROW NEGOSYO,” using the same strategies to ensure continuity and maximize benefits.
