this study. In the other hand, family factors such as parents’ educational level and
is one of the factor that contribute students involve themselves in absenteeism. The
were four hundred and twenty three high school students participated in the study. They
are two research questions in this study. First is what are the personal factor impact
previous absenteeism, current absenteeism and previous academic achievement and the
other research question: what are the family factor impact previous absenteeism, current

Content
Based on my reading, the author didn’t mention the survey sheets that he or she gets
back is it can use. So of the sample may not answer the question properly, they may
simple change the survey answer that author provide or add in their own comment. The
author also didn’t mention how he or she distributes the survey form. The survey form
may distribute by his or her themselves, friends, teachers or relative but the author
Beside that, the author say that a paper- pencil survey will be use to collect date
but the author didn’t clearly mention how many question that he or she set for the survey
sheet. Besides that, the author also didn’t mention the location that he or she uses to
conduct the survey. The author also didn’t mention how many populations on the study.
The author should state about how many survey sheets that he or she has been give out
and how many survey sheet he or she can be get back from the sample.
In addition, the author should say he or she has taken how many days to conduct
the survey since the total of sample is a lot about 423 high school students. The author
should mention when he or she conduct the survey such as during the recess time, after
school or during students’ free time to avoid disturb students’ learning time. Lastly, the
author should mention the limitation of this study and the procedure to conduct the
survey. All this suggestion can be useful because this may lead the reader to more
clearly on how the author conducts the survey and what is the problem that author
based program that not only can be used to perform data entry and analysis this program
also can be use to create tables and graphs. Calculate the large amounts and perform all
of the analyses covered in the text and much more can be done in SPSS. Normally,
nonparametric tests
I also agree the author uses the Person correlation coefficient to find out the relationship
An individual who score high (or low) on one variable tend to score similarly
However, the individual who score high on one variable tend to score low on
show the degree or strength of relationship between two variables. r = +1.00 to – 1.00
I agree the author use one- way ANOVA to examine whether the dependent variable
similar to the ANOVA although the method is different, in the analysis of variance. The
ONEWAY Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is use to compare more than two means.
