“…The first and last-born are more college-ready compared to middle-born because they act as models and they prove their uniqueness, respectively. This result affirms the significant relationship of birth order to academic performance (Nissenbaum, 2012;Sucgang & Fabella, 2018).…”

“…On the one hand, only children have fewer opportunities to interact, causing isolation when they are forced to socialize with people of their age. Research in the Philippine context showed that students struggling with low self-esteem and feelings of isolation put them at a disadvantage in their efforts to have meaningful college experiences (Sucgang & Fabella, 2018). On the contrary, Reyes-Baybay (2018) concluded that birth order has little to no bearing at all on students' academic achievement.…”

How ready are the K-12 graduates in the Philippines? What environmental conditions shape their college readiness? How do these conditions help to prepare them to transition from basic to tertiary education seamlessly and effectively? This study answers these questions by utilizing a mixed-method multiple case study design framed within the Human Ecological Systems Model. The 7,238 respondents and 28 study participants were first-year students enrolled in one state university in northern Philippines. Results revealed that the Filipino K-12 graduates demonstrated less preparedness for college education. The variables under human ecological systems influencing their college readiness include sex, gender, birth order (individual system), parents' monthly income (microsystem), type of senior high school (SHS) graduated and track taken in SHS (mesosystem), parents' location of employment (exosystem); and ethnicity and parents' educational attainment (macrosystem). Such findings prove that college readiness among K-12 graduates is not solely dependent on their cognitive abilities but is a confluence of environmental conditions from the individual to macrosystems. Thus, the human ecological system serves as a functional frame in understanding factors shaping the college readiness of K-12 graduates and it is recommended that the conditions under each system must be considered as valuable inputs for basic education in preparing K-12 students for college life. Contribution/Originality:This study is an initial effort to explore the college readiness of Filipino K-12 graduates using the lens of the Human Ecological Systems Model. It presents the baseline data that can be used by education stakeholders to make decisive and viable actions to ensure the K-12 graduates' effective transition from basic to tertiary education.

“…This was probably due to high family sizes, study done by Abdullah et al 6 The academic performance of students according to their birth order were converted to classification, the frequency of students from varying birth order revealed that from first born students had developing/approaching proficiency whereas last born had developing/approaching proficiency advance grade classification. 8 Within family designs provide severe advantages as those each child is presumed to grow up with same economic background, family size, parental IQS and other factors. There was implicit variation where there was addiction of new born into a family and elicit different relations from older younger children who were already a part of family.…”

“…7 Groose (2000) noted that the position of a child in a family was a powerful predictor of personality and academic achievement and it was a factor that parents and teachers needed to consider as they looked for ways to raise happy and well-adjusted children. 8 First born were privileged, later born over indulged by their parents to lack social empathy. 9 Intelligence can be defined as the mental abilities necessary to effectively adjust to ones environment as well as to effectively shape and select ones environment by Sternberg, 1997.…”

Background: Alfred Adler in 1964 stated that different position in a family, birth order may be correlated to both positive and negative life outcomes. Children in the same family are different from each other in academic achievement and the effects of birth order one child/s educational achievement has been studied. The objective was to evaluate the relationship between birth order and their reflection in academic performance.Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional survey where data collected by a self-administered online questionnaire to gather information about students bio data, birth order, gender, age, siblings size, parents education and income. A total of 92 online questionnaire were distributed to the participants (34 male and 53 female). Out of which 88 participants were submitted the response. All answered data were anonymous and recommended. Data were entered in excel and descriptive statistics were performed using SPSS software version 25.Results: The result showed that the birth order in family was more than 44.85% were first born, 11.96% participants were middle born, 31.03% of the participants had effect on child behaviour with birth order on educational settings. 28.57% of the participants showed that sibling role is related to academic success in life.Conclusions: There was a little significance gained from the response rate of the participants which showed that there was a relationship between birth order and academic performance. The controversy of birth order effect on academics may vary among countries, family size and different cultures.
