    Getting Motivated: Coping with Academic Failure

    Introduction

    Motivation is an essential factor in achieving success in academic pursuits. However,


    academic failure is a common issue faced by students in the Philippines. It can significantly
    impact their motivation and ability to succeed in their educational endeavors. Coping with
    academic failure requires a combination of strategies, including understanding the root cause of
    the failure, reframing the experience, seeking support from peers and professionals, and
    developing a growth mindset. This paper explores the different ways of coping with academic
    failure and provides evidence-based strategies to help students of Liloan National High School
    (LNHS)

    Academic failure can stem from various sources, including poor study habits, lack of
    understanding of course content, poor time management, test anxiety, and mental health issues
    such as depression or anxiety. In the Philippines, the lack of resources, particularly in public
    schools, can contribute to academic failure. According to a 2018 report by the Philippine
    Statistics Authority, 25% of Filipino families live below the poverty line. Poverty can limit
    access to education, and students from disadvantaged backgrounds may not have the resources to
    support their academic pursuits.

    Academic failure is a significant challenge faced by Filipino students, particularly those


    from disadvantaged backgrounds. Coping with academic failure requires a combination of
    strategies, including reframing the experience, seeking support, and developing a growth
    mindset. By taking a proactive approach to academic setbacks, Filipino students can regain their
    motivation and succeed in their educational pursuits. It is crucial for stakeholders in the
    education sector to provide resources and support to students to help them overcome academic
    challenges and achieve their goals. Sources: Philippine Statistics Authority. (2018). According to
    an article in Psychology Today, reframing involves focusing on the positive aspects of the
    situation, such as the knowledge gained from the experience, the resilience demonstrated in
    overcoming the setback, and the potential for growth and improvement. By reframing academic
    failure, Filipino students can develop a growth mindset, which involves a belief in their ability to
    learn and improve over time. The importance of support from teachers, classmates and others
    could really contribute to boost the confidence of students after a setback, Students who
    experience academic failure in the Philippines should seek support from peers and professionals.
    Talking to friends, family, or mentors can provide a sense of validation and help students to feel
    less alone in their struggles. Additionally, seeking support from academic advisors, tutors, or
    mental health professionals can provide students with the tools and resources they need to
    succeed. In the Philippines, some organizations and initiatives aim to provide educational
    support to students from disadvantaged backgrounds. For example, the "Kariton Klasrum"
    project provides mobile classrooms to street children to help them access education. Developing
    a growth mindset is crucial for coping with academic failure in the Philippines. According to a
    study published in the Journal of Educational Psychology, students who believe that intelligence
    is malleable and can be improved through effort are more likely to persevere through academic
    setbacks and achieve success. Encouraging Filipino students to develop a growth mindset can be
    accomplished through various means, such as praise for effort rather than natural ability,
    emphasizing the importance of hard work, and providing opportunities for students to reflect on
    their progress and areas for improvement.

    However not all get help from others. A lot of students got discourage to go to school
