CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics now dominates almost every field of

one’s activities. In this age of science and technology, it

has permeated through the human life in such a way that, it

has now become every man’s everyday concern. Mathematics

disciplines the mind, systematizes ones thought and

reasoning. The subject has also rich potentialities of

affording true enjoyment to its students.

Mathematics is an important subject in school

curriculum. It is more closely related to one’s daily life

as compared to other subjects. Except one’s mother tongue

there is no other subject which is more closely related to

one’s daily life as mathematics. Mathematics is considered

to be the father of all sciences. Napoleon remarked that-

“The progress and improvement of mathematics is linked to

the prosperity of the state”. Although there is no standard

definition of the term attitude, in general it refers to a

learned predisposition or tendency on the part of an

individual to respond positively or negatively to some

object, situation, concept or another person.

In assessing mathematics performance and potential

of students, Study Habits towards mathematics and

1
mathematics learning are frequently cited as factors

contributing to success. Several studies have shown that

positive Study Habits are conductive to good performance.

However, an individual’s attitude towards mathematics can be

influenced by many factors. It is generally held that

females exhibit less positive Study Habits towards

mathematics than males do. The foundation of success,

regardless of our chosen field, is attitude.

Attitude towards mathematics plays a crucial role in

the teaching and learning processes of mathematics. It

affects students’ achievement in mathematics. The teaching

method, the support of structure of the school, the family

and students’ attitude towards school affect the Study

Habits towards mathematics. Usually, the way that

mathematics is represented in the classroom and perceived by

students, even when teachers believe they are presenting it

in authentic and context dependent way stands to alienate

many students from mathematics.

In assessing mathematics performance and potential of

students, Study Habits towards mathematics and mathematics

learning are frequently cited as factors contributing to

success. Several studies have shown that positive Study

Habits are conductive to good performance. However, an

individual’s attitude towards mathematics can be influenced

by many factors. It is generally held that females exhibit

less positive Study Habits towards mathematics than males

do. The foundation of success, regardless of our chosen

field, is attitude.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This part includes all the related studies that will be

used in this research.

Study habits towards Mathematics

Some authorities regard study habits towards

mathematics as just a like or dislike for mathematics, while

others extend the meaning to embrace beliefs, ability, and

usefulness of mathematics. For Wasiche (2006) defines

attitude as a feeling towards something or somebody which is

sometimes reflected in a person’s behavior. Attitude formed

by an individual mostly depends on his/her experience in the

learning environment. Study Habits are further enhanced by

interpersonal interaction. Njune (2005) explain that

attitude is either positive or negative depending on whether

a person likes or dislikes something or someone. Sources of

negative or positive Study Habits may not be pin-pointed.

In connection with this, the conceptions, Study Habits

and expectations of the student are the common factors that

affect the learning of the students towards the subject.

Attitude can also be gender related. There are many who

hold the view that boys do better in Mathematics than girls.

4
This belief tends to affect the attitude of girls towards

Mathematics.

Some of the studies have found that gender difference

in students’ confidence in Mathematics. Compared to boys,

girls lacked confidence, had debilitating causal attribution

patterns, perceived Mathematics as a male domain and were

anxious about Mathematics (Casey, Nuttal & Pezaris, 2001).

In the study, girls were found to have lower self-confidence

in Mathematics than boys.

Impact of Study habits on Academic Performance

Study habits of students greatly affects their

performance at school. Thus, teachers also play a vital part

in terms of motivating students to perform at their best.

Wise use of psychological principles and pedagogical

knowledge in the teaching-learning process greatly affects

student’s Study Habits towards a certain alters the attitude

and the latter will affect one’s performance in Mathematics.

Attitude can be seen as more or less positive. A

positive attitude towards mathematics reflects a positive

emotional disposition in relation to the subject and, in a

similar way, a negative attitude towards mathematics relates

5
to a negative emotional disposition. These emotional

dispositions have an impact on an individual’s behavior, as

one is likely to achieve better in a subject that one

enjoys, has confidence in or finds useful. For this reason

positive Study Habits towards mathematics are desirable

since they may influence one’s willingness to learn and also

the benefits one can derive from mathematics instruction.

Only “mathematics is fun for me”, have meaningful and

positive relation with student’s achievement in mathematics.

Math is Agree considered to be a domain in which boys are

higher achievers, both in terms of attitude and self-

concept. Contrary to this, findings show that math school

achievement and grades do not differ significantly between

boys and girls.

Positive reinforcement (praises or rewards) and

negative reinforcement (punishment or merit) can be of great

influence to a student’s development of attitude. When a

teacher praises a student for his or her good behavior, the

student can develop confidence and self-trust and so as good

attitude towards the subject knowing that he or she is

performing well.

6
Academic Performance

The reason affecting a student’s academic performance

arise from several reasons. In line with this, this research

was conducted to determine the reason that affect the

academic performance of the grades 11 students which may

result will help in the improvement of the students and

teachers alike. This research may benefit the students by

allowing them to be better understand the reasons that

affect in their academic performance.

Study Habits

Studies should Strongly Agree be arranged by depth;

studies from basic to deep from narrow to broad. Such

practice may have a positive or negative effect on student’s

attitude, behavior and socialization. This on the other

hand; contributes to behavior and Study Habits.

Having knowledge about what is the importance of

mathematics and what are its limitless possibilities can

help build up positive attitude and behavior towards it.

Eagly and Chaiken, 1993; Maio and Haddock, 2010 suggest

that there are three different components of attitude. These

7
are the cognitive component, the affective, and the

behavioral component. The cognitive component of attitude is

what the individual thinks or believes about attitude

object. An example is that a person might think that the

snake is a dangerous reptile. The affective aspect of

attitude is the feelings or emotions of the individual

associated with the attitude object. For example, the sight

of a snake may evoke the feeling of fear in the individual.

The behavioral component is the tendency to respond in a

certain way to the attitude object. An example is a person

choosing to run away or scream upon seeing snake. Hence, the

cognitive, affective and behavioral components of attitude

are interrelated and interconnected.

Research has shown that formation of attitude is

experiential. People form Study Habits through their

experiences in life. Social psychology explains how Study

Habits are formed using the three major learning theories

which are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and

observational conditioning. Propounded by Ivan Pavlov,

classical conditioning is a procedure for modifying behavior

in which repeated pairing of conditioned stimulus with an

unconditioned stimulus leads to the development of a

conditioned response (Ntim, 2010, Linero and Hinojosa,

2012). Classical conditioning entails neutral stimuli that

8
naturally elicit a response. Children, for instance, best

develop the same passion for the clubs. Hence, we form Study

Habits according to how we are conditioned or how our

experiences condition us.

B.F. Skinner’s Operant Conditioning theory is a form of

learning in which a response is made of a stimulus. In

operant conditioning, reinforcement increases the likelihood

that behavior will be repeated (Ntim, 2010). Behaviors that

are followed by positive consequences are reinforced and are

more likely to be repeated than are behaviors and Study

Habits that are followed by negative consequences (Moris and

Maisto, 2001). Operant conditioning requires the use of

reinforcement and punishment. A case in point is if a

child’s mother smiles at her anytime she picks something up

for her, the child begins to realize that it is good to be

helpful and she is likely to repeat the behavior.

Conversely, if a mother screams at a child for picking up a

puff of a piece of cigarette, the child will grow up having

an unfavorable attitude towards smoking and probably those

who smoke. This is due to the negative consequence of her

action.

Finally, people also learn attitude through observation

of people around them, especially if they are people they

admire, respect or hold in high esteem. Children therefore

9
invariably observe the attitude of parents and teachers and

learn a lot from them. Observational learning propounded by

Albert Bandura posits that behaviors are acquired by

watching another or the model that performs the behavior

(Yan, 2009. The model displays the behavior and the learner

observes and tries to imitate it. Teachers are, invariably,

role models whose behaviors are easily copied by students.

Games have yielded consistently positive results with

regard to attitude toward learning and positively impacts

students’ learning of arithmetic, regardless of ability

level. (Namshoo Shin 4035 SEB, 601 E and LeeAnn M.

Sutherland of University of Michigan, Cathleen A Norris of

University of North Texas and Elliot Soloway), but in this

study the result shown that the student played such as

rubik’s cube, puzzle, and others has a relation in interest

towards mathematics while their study habits towards

mathematics has no relation in the game that they played.

Steinberger & Wagner (2005) distinguishes more simply

among three intelligence; the academic-problem solving; the

practical intelligence; and creative intelligence; all these

three have peculiar influence to performance. Success in

study does not depend on ability and hard work but also on

effective methods of study. Individualized method of

studying is adopted by every individual student, thus, a

10
good study habit wills mean the ability to learn and make

use of what one is reading or studying.

Fielden (2004) states that good study habits help the

student in critical reflection in skills outcomes such as

selecting, analyzing, critiquing, and synthesizing. Cheung

(1998) also discovered positive correlation between attitude

and Mathematics achievement. The correlation showed that the

more positive the attitude, the higher the level the

achievement in the student.

11
Theoretical Framework

This study is based on the theory of Daniel Katz,

functionalist theorist, who suggests that Study Habits are

formed according to how a particular person or thing meets

his needs. To a functionalist, Study Habits are shapes base

on the personal benefit they offer. Katz also notes that we

form Study Habits to support our self-image or existing

values. According to the functionalist, an attitude will

change when we needs of individual change.

Born in Trenton, New Jersey, Katz received his MA from

the University of Buffalo in 1925, and his PhD from the

Syracuse University in 1928 under Floyd Henry Allport,

founder of the American experimental social psychology.

In 1928, Katz started his academic career at the

faculty of Princeton University. In World II Katz did

government research in Washington with a group of social

scientist under Rensis Likert, who eventually founded the

Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan.

In 1943, Katz went to the Brooklyn College, where he headed

the psychology department. From 1947 to 1974, his academic

career culminated at the University of Michigan where he was

12
Professor in the Department of Psychology and fellow at the

Institute for Social Research. Here Katz cooperated with

Theodore Newcomb, who founded Michigan’s doctoral program in

social psychology and he chaired the program from 1947 to

1953. In honor of both since 1970 the University of Michigan

organizes an annual Katz-Newcomb Lecture.

Katz produced classic studies of racial stereotyping

and prejudice, and attitude change, and his pursuit of the

connections between individual psychology and social systems

helped to found the field of organizational psychology. An

important methodological contribution was his open system

theory, presented in The Social Psychology of Organizations

(1966, later revised), which was co-authored by Robert L.

Kahn.

In this study, it seeks the different attitude that

student may possess towards Mathematics, attitude is said to

depend on how or what can be acquired from a specific

person, and that it changes whenever our needs change. An

example scenario is when a student has a positive attitude

towards the Mathematics subject for the reason that the

teacher is an effective teacher. The student is eager to

learn when the teacher supplies knowledge; he needs thus

forming a positive relationship and attitude towards one

another.

13
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Research Design

The Research design used in this study was Descriptive

Research Method, also known as survey or narrative approach.

This technique was used for descriptive reporting with the

help of questionnaire to identify individual differences

that cannot be observed.

The researcher used the Stratified Random Sampling

Technique, where the subject are divided into group based on

homogeneity in order to avoid the possibility of drawing

samples whose members come only from one stratum. (Pagoso &

Montana, 2000)

22
 The general procedures used in these types of research

are gathering data, classification, interpretation and

evaluation.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of the study were the Grade 11 Senior

High School students of PHINMA-Araullo University main

campus who are enrolled in School Year 2016-2017.

To determine the appropriate size of sample from a

specific population, researchers will use Slovin’s formula.

3. Chi-square - is a statistical method assessing the

goodness of fit between observed values and those expected

theoretically. Chi square is used to determine whether

there is a significant association between the two

variables. Chi square is employed to test the difference

between an actual sample and another hypothetical or

previously established distribution such as that which maybe

27
expected due to change or probability. Chi square can also

be used to test the differences between two or more actual

samples.

The formula is as follows:

x 2= ∑ ¿ ¿

Where: x 2 = Chi Square fe = expected frequency

f 0 = observed frequency ∑ = summation

CHAPTER 3

DATA PRESENTATION, INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS

This chapter provides the presentation of statistical

data relative to the problems as earlier posited.

Corresponding analysis and interpretation regarding these

data also presented in this portion of the study.

Profile of the Respondents

1. Type of Junior High School

Students-respondents were asked on the type of school

they graduated in junior high school. Results showed that

most (%) of the senior high school students in Araullo

University came from public junior high school. This is

because of the voucher system of the government supporting

the K-12 implementation of the Department of Education

(refer to Table 3).

Table 6: Mathematics Performance of the respondents

Student-respondents were also classified according to

their performance in Mathematics based on Grades in General

Mathematics. 23.25% of the students have grades ranging from

70-74, 13.69% have grade ranging from 75 to 79, 80-84 which

compose the 15.29% of the respondents; 22.61% of the

students ranging from 85 to 89, next is 43.31% of the

students ranging from 90 to 100 (shown in table 6).

Findings revealed that majority of the Grade 11

students in PHINMA-Araullo University were belong to the

outstanding academic average especially in Math subject and

considering that Math is one of the hardest subject.

In line with this, this research was conducted to

determine the factors that affect the academic performance

31
of its the Grade 11 students which may consequently help in

the improvement of the students and teachers alike. This

study may benefit the students by allowing them to

understand better the factors that can affect their academic

performance. The academic performance of a student is

greatly affected by many factors. Each factor that affects

one’s performance depends solely on the student’s ability to

handle such stimulus or situation. Thus, external factors

are important and vital to someone’s academic performance.

32
2. Study Habits of the student-respondents

The main objective of this study is to find out the

attitude towards mathematics of the senior high school

students of Araullo University.

Mathematics is given in the table 10, ABM obtained 4.13 in

weighted mean and interpreted Agree, followed by GHT/GAS;

3.91 and interpreted Agree, and STEM that obtained 3.91

weighted mean and also interpreted as Agree, and with 3.91

overall weighted mean as Agree.

Findings revealed that the study habits of Grade 11

students of PHINMA Araullo University shows their constant

interest and study habits towards mathematics. This implies

that they Agree like Mathematics even this is one of the

hardest subjects.

Being motivated as a student greatly helps in making a

positive attitude towards Mathematics. Such notice of one’s

39
performance whether it may be negative or positive affects

one’s academic performance. Teacher’s teaching performance

also contributes to such Study Habits.

In Addition, games have yielded consistently positive

results with regard to attitude toward learning and

positively impacts students’ learning of arithmetic,

40
regardless of ability level. (Namshoo Shin 4035 SEB, 601 E

and LeeAnn M. Sutherland of University of Michigan, Cathleen

A Norris of University of North Texas and Elliot Soloway),

but in this study the result shown that the student played

such as rubik’s cube, puzzle, and others has a relation in

interest towards mathematics while their study habits

towards mathematics has no relation in the game that they

played.

The obtained value (refer to table 14.1) of chi square

is 40.96 and it is greater than to 26.30, therefore “There

43
is a significant relationship between the study habits

toward mathematics and Mathematics performance of the

student-respondents”. Hence the attitude (interest and study

habits) towards Mathematics affect the Mathematics

performance of student-respondents.

Steinberger & Wagner (2005) distinguishes more simply

among three intelligence; the academic-problem solving; the

practical intelligence; and creative intelligence; all these

three have peculiar influence to performance. Success in

study does not depend on ability and hard work but also on

effective methods of study. Individualized method of

studying is adopted by every individual student, thus, a

good study habit wills mean the ability to learn and make

use of what one is reading or studying.

Fielden (2004) states that good study habits help the

student in critical reflection in skills outcomes such as

selecting, analyzing, critiquing, and synthesizing. Cheung

(1998) also discovered positive correlation between attitude

and Mathematics achievement. The correlation showed that the

more positive the attitude, the higher the level the

achievement in the student.

In addition, research on the relationship between

student study habits and performance has also been

44
inclusive. Researcher’s that have been conducted to

determine the relationship between students’ attitude

towards Mathematics and Mathematics performance have yielded

significant results. The findings have thus consistency on

the subject. Studies have demonstrated a strong and

significant relationship between Mathematics attitude and

Mathematics performance (Minato & Yanase 1984, Randwha &

Bearner 1992, Schenkel 2009).

Based on the information above, the obtained X 2 value

of the type of school is 9.80 which is greater than 9.49,

the minimum value required for the significance of the .05

level, so the null hypothesis is rejected. Therefore “There

is a significant relationship between the type of school and

mathematics performance of the student-respondents.”

Second, the obtained X 2 value of the strand enrolled is

54.84 which is greater than to 15.51, the minimum value

required for .05 significance level, so the null hypothesis

is rejected. “There is a significant relationship between

the strand enrolled and mathematics performance of student-

respondents”.

From the information above, the obtained value of X2

in games played is 14.10 and it is less than to 15.51, so

the null hypothesis is accepted. Therefore “There is no

significant relationship between the games played and

Mathematics performance of the student-respondents.”

 CHAPTER 4

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the brief summary of study,

summary of the findings, the conclusions arrived and the

recommendations offered.

Summary of the study

This study aimed to identify the study habits of the

students in Mathematics subject and how it affects their

academic performance. The respondents of the study were the

Grade 11 Senior high school of PHINMA Araullo University who

were enrolled for school year 2016-2017.

This study used the Descriptive Research Method, also

known as survey or narrative approach as the main

instrument. Questionnaire was formulated using written

interview gathered from a sample of respondents. The

interview and data gathering were also done for the purpose

of formulating the questionnaire as well as cross checking

the returns. The statistics weighted mean and ranking were

utilized. The study involved 314 Grade 11 Senior high school

students enrolled in the school year 2016-2017.

47
Summary of the findings

The following were the summary of the findings of the

study based on the questions provided under the statement of

the problems:

1. Profile of the respondents

Types of junior high school majority of the respondents

belong to the public school with a frequency of 216 or

68.79%.

Strand enrolled 121 or 38.54% enrolled in ABM, 116 or

36.94% enrolled in GHT/GAS, and 77 or 24.52% enrolled in

STEM.

Games played majority of the respondents played a

puzzle game with a frequency of 152 or 48.41%.

Mathematics performance majority of the respondents

belong to the 90-100 (Outstanding) with a frequency of 136

or 43.31%.

2. Description of the Study Habits of the Respondents

towards Mathematics

The summary of the weighted mean obtained by the

respondents in their description of the study habits towards

Mathematics is: ABM obtained 4.11 in weighted mean and

48
interpreted Agree, followed by GHT/GAS; 3.57 and interpreted

Agree, and STEM that obtained 3.70 weighted mean and also

interpreted as Agree, and with 3.79 overall weighted mean as

Agree.

Findings revealed that the study habits of Grade 11

students of PHINMA Araullo University shows their constant

interest and study habits towards mathematics. This implies

that they agree that Mathematics is one of the hardest

subject.

3. Relationship between the study habits and the type of

school graduated in junior high school.

The obtained F-value of 5.23 is greater than 2.99, the

minimum value for significance at the .05 level; therefore,

it is significant. There is a significant difference between

study habits and type of school of the respondents.

4. Relationship between the study habits and strand

enrolled.

The obtained F-value of 52.97 is greater than to 2.99,

the minimum value for significance at the .05 level;

therefore, it is significant. There is a significant

difference between study habits and strand enrolled of the

respondents.

5. Relationship between the study habits and games played.

The obtained F-value of 37.17 is greater than to 2.60,

49
the minimum value for significance at the .05 level;

therefore, it is significant. There is a significant

difference between study habits and games played of the

respondents.

6. Relationship between the profile and Mathematics

performance of the student-respondents.

Type of school findings revealed that there is a

significant relationship between the type of school and

mathematics performance of the student-respondents so the

null hypothesis is rejected, as the chi-square value is 9.80

which is greater than to 9.49 the minimum value required for

.05 level of significance.

Strand enrolled based on the study there is a

significant relationship between the strand enrolled and

mathematics performance so the null hypothesis is rejected,

as the chi-square value 54.84 is greater than to 15.51 the

minimum value required for .05 level of significance.

Game played based on the research the obtained value of

chi-square is 14.10 which is less than to 15.51 the minimum

value required for .05 level of significance therefore there

is no significant relationship between the game played and

mathematics performance. Hence the kind of game they played

does not influence their academic performance in

mathematics.

50
Conclusions

After the data collection, analysis and interpretation, the

following conclusions are drawn.

First, the grade 11 students want to get a good grades and

Agree participating in a Math class. But they get frustrated

when the discussion is interrupted or the teacher is absent.

Furthermore, they study harder and exert more effort in

subject. It makes them do their assignments regularly. And

they spend less time with their friends and concentrate more

in studies. Based on the findings majority of the

respondents belong to the public school, second most of the

students is in ABM and majority of the students played

puzzle. Third, majority of the students belongs to

outstanding academic average (GPA). Fourth, the profile of

the respondents which is the type of school, games played

and strand enrolled shows a strong correlation to their

study habits toward mathematics. Fifth, and also the type of

school and strand enrolled shows a relationship to their

mathematics performance while games played does not show a

correlation to the performance.

51
 Recommendations

The following were recommended by the researcher for

further enrichment of attitude of attitude of the student

towards Mathematics Subjects:

1. Continuous seminars and updating of knowledge of the

senior high school students should be empathized about the

importance of the Mathematics subjects, not only in school

but in everyday life.

2. Encouragement and verbal reinforcement from their

professors are vital to boost the determination of the

senior high school students to study well, and to give an

attention on the Mathematics subjects as well as its

importance to real life and education.

3. The school administrator should create a program that

will boost moreover the Study Habits of the students towards

the Mathematics subjects.

4. Further study is recommended for a more comprehensive

result which will cover the Study Habits of the students

towards the Mathematics subjects.
