Abstract

The descriptive method of research was utilized. The respondents were 68 third and fourth year students of College of Medical Radiation Technology during the school year 200-2001, or 79.07% of total population, comprised of 26 third year and 42 fourth year students. An adapted questionnaire was used to obtain data to determine the relationship of students’ needs to their academic performance. Data was analyzed through mean, frequency distribution, percentage, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, f-test and Pearson Product Moment Correlation. The following conclusions were drawn: (1) The physiological needs which include rooms that are conducive to learning, library that is complete with updated reading materials, fully equipped laboratory, canteen that serves quality foods at reasonable prices and a place such as lounge or huts to accommodate the students were all moderately needed by the respondents. The relationship between the physiological needs and the academic performance of the respondents was a high positive correlation; (2) The interpersonal relationship of the students among their classmates, friends, professors and the staff as well as the support of the administrators to the student in their academic performance were moderately needed by the respondents. The relationship between the psychosocial needs and the academic performance of the respondents showed a very weak negative correlation; (3) The mastery of the professors regarding their subject matter as well as the method used in presentation of lessons and its relevance to everyday living were moderately needed by the respondents. The relationship between the academic needs and the academic performance of the respondents showed a very weak positive correlation; (4) The spiritual aspect was shown to be a significant factor. Theology subject that is practical and relevant to the lives of the students as well as spiritual guidance through daily masses, recollections and retreats, angelus, and daily individual prayer were all moderately needed by the respondents and showed a weak negative correlation with academic performance.
