Abstract:
The study aims to determine which students are more interested in-music or their studies-and whether music influences students' academic performance or motivates them to study. The researchers hope to determine whether music has a greater impact on students' schoolwork than studying does. To acquire the data required for the research project, the researchers conducted a survey of the students at Northwestern Agusan Colleges. The study examined the association between students' interest in music and their academic performance using a quantitative, method-descriptive survey design. To collect the data and determine the level of interest among respondents (whether they are not interested, somewhat interested, or interested), the researcher employed Cronbach's alpha questionnaire survey. A total of 242 junior high students willingly answered the questionnaire. The researchers employed weighted mean, total, frequency, simple percentage, and lambda to ascertain the pupils' interest in music or academics. Because students are more engaged in class when there is music playing, the results indicate that music tends to influence their studies by 18.6. However, students' music is often influenced by their studies. Overall, incorporating music into studying can have a positive impact on students' learning experience.
