Abstract

This study investigated why students lack participation in school activities and proposed interventions to address these barriers. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing survey questionnaires administered to senior high school students at Balite National High School in Surigao Del Norte, Philippines. The study found that while most students participate in school activities regularly, a significant portion participates occasionally or rarely. Sports emerged as the most popular category of activities, followed by arts and music, clubs and organizations, academic competitions, and social events. Perceived barriers to participation include lack of interest, mismatched skills or interests, lack of confidence, fear of judgment, time constraints, lack of information, and inadequate support from teachers or peers. Significant differences in perceived reasons for lack of participation were found based on grade level but not age or sex. Recommendations for students, teachers, school administration, curriculum planners, and future researchers are provided to promote student engagement and participation in school activities. Addressing these barriers through targeted interventions can create a more inclusive and engaging school environment that enhances students' educational experience.
