Abstract :
The purpose of this quantitative comparative
study was to determine the factors that contribute to the
persistence among undergraduate college students in San
Agustin Institute of Technology who are parents compared
to those students who are not parents. The study employed
a descriptive research design. Descriptive statistics such as
frequency count, percentage, mean and standard deviation
and t-test were used. The study took place in San Agustin
Institute of Technology with one hundred thirty-one (131)
respondents. To achieve the objectives of the study, an
adapted questionnaire was used. Significant findings of the
study revealed that majority of the respondents are
between 21 to 24 years old, female, enrolled in Bachelor of
Elementary Education (BEED) course, and mostly are
non-parent college students. The level of persistence of
parent college students of San Agustin Institute of
Technology is extremely high. Similarly, the level of
persistence of non-parent college students is also extremely
high. However, a significant difference on the level of
persistence of the parent college students and non-parent
college students is found. Henceforward, amidst the
changing educational landscape, institutions need to focus
on efforts to persistence strategies for the parent college
students.
