CHAPTER 1 A.Background of the study Korean dramas (K-dramas) are no different from our regular TV
series. They all contain enough drama, comedy and romance, just like TV series here, but what sets K-
dramas apart is their approach on these dramas. Unlike native TV series K-dramas have a maximum run
of 16 episodes per series. As compared to native TV series that run for 300 episodes plus and still don’t
conclude. This approach in K-dramas keeps it fresh with the audience. In this generation, most of the
Filipinos are addicted on watching Korean drama. Korean drama or K-drama refers to televised dramas
in the Korean language, made in South Korea, mostly in a miniseries format, with distinctive features
that set them apart from television series and soap operas made elsewhere. South Korea started to
broadcast television series in the 1960s. Today's mini deurama format of 12–24 episodes started in the
1990s, transforming traditional historical series to this format and creating the notion of "fusion
sageuks". Korean dramas are usually shot within a very tight schedule, often a few hours before actual
broadcast. Screenplays are flexible and may change anytime

during production, depending on viewers' feedback, putting actors in a difficult position. Production
companies often face financial issues. B.Statement of the problem This study aims to answer the
following questions What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of the following? 1.1
Age 1.2 Gender 1.3 Frequency of watching Korean Drama per day 2. How the students Manage their
time in watching Korean Drama? 3. What are the effects of watching Korean Drama to the student’s
academic performance? C.Scope and Delimitation Determining the effects of watching Korean Dramas in
the academic performance of the Grade 11 GHT 2A students was the focus of this research. The study is
limited only to the Grade 11 GHT 2A of PHINMA University of Pangasinan. The information needed will

be gathered using a questionnaire. All information and conclusions drawn from this study were obtained
only to this group of students.

D.Significance of the Study This study aims to identify how it will benefit the following: Students. The
study will benefit the students for it can improve their awareness on the other country’s culture and
way of living through watching Korean drama, which eventually may help them on their academic
performance. Teachers. The study will serve as a reference to be able to cope up with the student’s
personal growth concerning their attraction in Korean drama. School. The study will determine if Korean
have great influence on the students. Thus, it can help them come up with ideas that will improve and
uplift the educational status of the students. It can also serve as basis for conducting more interesting
programs and activities in the future that will gain the interest of the students to achieve their academic
goals.

Future researcher. This will serve as reference and guide for researchers when creating their own
studies related to the subject matter.

E.Definition of Terms For better clarification and understanding of the terms used on this study, the
following are defined conceptually and operationally.

K-Drama (abbreviation of Korean Drama). This refers to televised dramas in the Korean language, made
in South Korea, mostly in a miniseries format, with distinctive features that set them apart from
television series and soap operas made elsewhere. Sageuk. This refers to any Korean television or film
drama that is either based on historical figures, incorporates historical events, or uses a historical
backdrop Korean (Hallyu) Wave. A neologism with literal meaning of "flow of Korea”. This refers to the
increase in global popularity of South Korean culture since the 1990s.

CHAPTER 2 Review of relates literature and studies This chapter presents the related literature and
studies after the thorough and in-depth search done by the researchers. This will also present the
synthesis of the art, theoretical and conceptual framework to fully understand the study to be
conducted. 2.1 Korean drama FOREIGN Korean Dramas (k-dramas) are no different from Filipino regular
tv series. They all contain enough drama, comedy and romance, just like tv series herem but what sets
K-dramas apart is their approach on these dramas. Unlike native tv series, K-drama have a maximum run
of 16 episodes per series. As compared to native tv series that run for 300 episodes plus and still do not
conclude. However, based on the popularity of k-drama, extra episodes or even an additional season are
added to extend an extremely popular drama, but this approach is unusual and is not seen often.

According to Common Wealth Magazine, one of the greatest inventions in the 20th century is television,
and its appearance in every family has changed our traditional way of life since decades ago. The sight of
a family surrounding around a table and eating dinner is less and less seen. Instead, we eat dinner and
watch dramas in front of our TV sets at the same time. This style has been showing up in our everyday
life. Along with the large network of cable television, TV stations introduce many foreign programs,
including the dramas from Korea, Japan and America, among which Korean dramas are one of the most
popular programs in Taiwan, even in Asia. We call this trend “Korean Wave”. According to The AJU
Business (2012), everyone knows that Korean Wave consists of various elements, and the impact of
Korean dramas is the most obvious. There are two dramas playing significant roles in the history of
Korean dramas. One is Jewel in the Palace. According to Wikipedia, this drama made the record of
average ratings of fifty percent; moreover, there were more than ninety countries in the world airing
this drama. The other is You Who Came from the Stars, and this drama not only created the clicks of

two billion on the Net, but also drew over six hundred forty thousand Taiwanese tourists to go to Korea
in 2014, according to Cheng Yi Shou (鄭 益守), President of Korea Tourism Organization, Taipei Office.
2.2 The Academic Performance Gap between Social Classes and Parenting Practices in Korea FOREIGN
The proposition that children from affluent families tend to do better in their studies has become a fact
that nobody can deny. Meanwhile, the fact that “the higher the parents’ social status, the better the
children’s grades, and the lower the social status, the poorer the grades” has been confirmed time and
again by all sorts of investigation and research (Ju, D. 1998; Kim, H. and Lee, B. 2005; Park, C. and Do, J.
2005; Byun, S. and Kim, K. 2008). Their results are in agreement with numerous foreign antecedent
studies (Coleman 1990; De Graaf et al. 2000; Jencks and Tach 2006). As for the reason that children’s
grades change according to their parents’ socioeconomic status, public sentiment commonly points to
the difference in their capacity to spend on private education.

2.3 EFFECTS OF DRAMA ON AT-RISK MATH STUDENTS For many years, educators have varied in their
definition of students considered to be “at-risk”. Some educators have considered at-risk students to be
minorities or those living with one parent and statistically perceived to be low academic performers.
Other definitions

have

included

students

who

were

already

poor

performers academically, failing to receive the proper monitoring and intervention from teachers in
standard school programs. At-risk students have also been defined as students who are negatively
impacted by characteristics of a school, such as inflexible schedules and narrow curricula (Hixson &
Tinsmann, 1990). All of these definitions and factors in and of themselves have limitations. According to
Hixson and Tinsmann, the degree to which a child is atrisk is a function of inadequacies in one or more
of these above defined areas not compensated for in the others. Over years of practice, researchers and
educators alike have agreed that at-risk students

show

the
greatest

improvement

from

instruction

emphasizing less repetitive drilling of skills and more innovative methods of learning including higher
order thinking skills and cognitive reasoning (Knapp, Shields & Turnball, 1995). A case study

11

by Baxter and Woodward in 1997 demonstrated that at-risk students in mathematics showed a modest
improvement in performance on standardized tests after a year long involvement in a classroom
characterized by an innovative instructional method focused on conceptual problem solving and
utilization of math games rather than traditional computational practice. The researchers speculated
that with more specialized instruction in the innovative approach, such as by having additional teachers
in the classroom, poor performing math students could realize even greater improvement in their math
scores (Baxter & Woodward, 1997).

2.4 The Effects of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) Star and Receiver Characteristics on T.V Drama Satisfaction
and Intention to Revisit Globalization has played an increasingly critical role in every area of life, society,
and culture is not an exception. The Korean Wave (or ‘Hallyu’ in Korean) is a very popular cultural
phenomenon among Asian consumers today. For instance, the Korean singer ‘PSY’ and his song
‘GangNam Style’ was the most watched YouTube video by 2012 (Dobuzinskis, 2012).

12
Now the Korean Wave has gained increasing recognition in China, East Asia, Southeast Asian nations,
including Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong (Hong and Kim, 2013). The Korean Wave also made its
noteworthy entrance in Latin America (Ko et al., 2014). This new cultural trend also has a significant
impact on the Korean economy through exports of its product and increased tourism (Lee, 2015;
Hogarth, 2013). The number of foreign tourists visiting Korea because of the Korean Wave has increased
steadily and the cultural phenomenon results in increased purchase of the related product such as
cosmetics, fashion, and Korean cuisine by foreign customers (Yu et al., 2012).

CHAPTER 3 Methods and Procedures This chapter presents the research design, research setting,
research subject, research and validation of instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical
treatment.

A.Research Methodology The study determined the effects of watching Korean drama on the academic
performance of Grade 11 GHT 2A PHINMA University of Pangasinan through the use of descriptive-
correlation method. In descriptive method, the study focuses on the present condition. The purpose is
to find new truth, which may come in different forms such as increased quantity of knowledge, a new
generalization or increased insights into factors. It also collected detailed and factual information to
describe existing phenomena. It systematically described the situation or area of interest factually and
accurately. It allowed the researchers to carefully describe and

14

understand the behavior. This study was correlational for it demanded the degree to which variables
were related to each other using various statistical instruments. Since this study measured data that
already exists and the number of respondents is not large, the descriptive-correlation method of studies
is best suited. As mentioned, the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of age and gender,
including their frequency of watching Korean drama, as well as the count up of those who spend their
time on k-drama were generated using researcher-made questionnaire.

B.Respondents of the study The researcher respondents are the 50 Grade 11 GHT 2A senior high school
students of PHINMA-University of Pangasinan who are addicted in watching Korean dramas. This can
use for a study about effects in academic performance for those students who addicted in Korean
dramas.

C.Sampling Procedure Convenience Sampling, a kind of Non-Random Sampling, was utilized in this
research. The researcher made questionnaire to gather the data for the student’s profile. The draft of
the questionnaire was drawn out based on the researchers to identify of the effects of watching Korean
Dramas in academic performance of Grade 11 GHT 2A PHINMA University of Pangasinan of the
respondents, A questionnaire which composed of 13 questions. In which determines the effects of
watching Korean dramas in academic performance of the respondents. To know more about the
research paper, the researchers gathered some data and information through internet and have looked
for the related literature and study to this topic. Through this, the

researchers

have

gathered some

important

details

and

information related to this topic. The researchers also made some questionnaires were in Dichotomous
scale and Rating scale were used so that it will be much easier for the respondents to answer it. The
researcher will make letter of request and submitted it to the school principal or dean to allow the
researcher to administer the survey. After receiving the approved permit, the researcher will
16

conduct the survey form or questionnaire to the grade 11 GHT 2A of PHINMA University of Pangasinan.
The researcher will give some time to the respondents to answer the questionnaire before regaining it.
The researchers will retrieve the questionnaire personally from the respondents to make sure that the
survey material was answered and returned. Data gathered will be recorded, tabulated, and analyzed.
The results of the data will be interpreted and considered as findings of the researcher.

D.Statistical Treatment The researchers will use standard or statistical tool to analyze, tallied, encoded,
tabulated the data gathered. In this study the researchers will analyze and get the percentage of the
data used the formula of, Percentage 𝐹
