Abstract

The study aimed to determine the Brunt of Religions on the Performance of BSCS
students. Specifically, to find out the religious affiliation of students; the performance of students
in the different subjects; lastly, the difference between means of the different religious affiliation
/ religion on the performance of BSCS students in different subjects. The study used descriptive
type of research using questionnaire as the tool in gathering data. G*Power analysis was used to
determine the sample size of the study. There are 56 respondents of the study using the stratifiedrandom
sampling method. The result indicates that most of the respondents are Roman Catholic
with 32% followed by Iglesia Ni Kristo with 14%. Moreover, Jevovah’s Witnesses performed
well in both programming subjects while Pentecost found to be the least performer. Hence,
performance of Jehovah’s witnesses’ students are significantly different from the performance of
the students with religious affiliations like Baptist, Roman Catholic, Pentecost and UCCP, thus,
performance of the students are significantly related with their religious affiliations for both
programming subjects. Though, researchers are encouraged to conduct further study
considering factors like practices, study habits and other related variables to the academic
performance of BCSC students. Also, more research remains to be done so that faculty and
administrators as well as students and their parents can better understand the relationship
between students’ religious engagements and their academic endeavor.
