Abstract

This study utilized a descriptive correlational method. A total of 482 respondents were included but only 341 volunteered to participate to become respondents. Stratified random sampling was used in the selection of respondents. A self-made questionnaire served as the instrument. Documentary analysis was employed to obtain the academic performance of the respondents. Data was analyzed through analysis of variance, frequency, mean, standard deviation, t-test for independent samples and f-test. The following conclusions were drawn: 1) Most of the respondents were from the College of Nursing and School of Midwifery, female, third year students and belonged to only one (1) organization; 2) The overall level of involvement of the respondents in extracurricular activities was interpreted as involved to a moderate extent; 3) College affiliation and gender were not associated with the level of involvement of the respondents in extracurricular activities. However, year level and number of organizational affiliations were found to be associated with the respondents’ level of involvement in extracurricular activities; 4) The respondents had a satisfactory academic performance; 5) Gender and number of organizational affiliations were not associated with the academic performance of the respondents. On the other hand, college affiliation and year level were found to be associated with the academic performance of the respondents; 6) There was no relationship between the involvement in extracurricular activities and the academic performance of the respondents.
