THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTINGS
INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is generally considered as the most important subject at
school levels all over the world. All the major commissions and committee
report on education since independence emphasized the importance of
mathematical knowledge and its utilitarian values. In spite of all these
reports and recommendation still in the Philippines, many students
struggle with mathematics and become disaffected as they constantly
bump in two obstacles to engagement. It is an agreeable fact that,
amongst the subject taught in schools, mathematics is considered as one
of the toughest subjects. But the reason behind this might be different in
different situations. Lot more studies were conducted in this area and
researches come up with their recommendations as well. But still, the
problem of low performance in mathematics appears to be pertinent in all
levels of school education. This is a serious issue to be tackled possibly by
the teachers concerned and even the Department of Education.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
In most parts of the world, mathematics is regarded as the most
significant subject taught in schools. Since independence, every
significant commission and committee report on education has underlined
the significance of math knowledge and its importance. Despite all these
findings and recommendations, mathematics is still a challenge for many
students in the Philippines, and as a result, they lose interest in the
subject. It is a well-known truth that mathematics is one of the most
challenging disciplines among those taught in schools. However, the
cause of this may vary depending on the circumstance. Many additional
studies have been done in this field, and researchers have also developed
their own set of suggestions. But even so, the issue of poor math
performance seems to apply to all levels of. However, the issue of poor
math performance seems to apply to all levels of schooling. This is a
severe problem that could possibly be addressed by the concerned
teachers and even the Department of Education. The lack of textbooks,
visual aids, and other teaching tools, among other things, is one of the
reasons why many teachers claim that teaching mathematics in senior
high school is particularly challenging. However, teachers should be in
charge of planning their students’ educational experiences. As a result,
issues that hinder the efficacy of the teaching-learning process should be
identified so that solutions can be provided to nurture and assist students’
improved learning of mathematics.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Figure 1.3. The Theoretical Framework
According to Dr. Alenka Brezavšček (2023) Mathematical skills have
long been recognised as essential not only for academic success but also
for efficient functioning in everyday life , By studying mathematics, we
train accuracy, consistency, and mental discipline, which are essential
skills needed for effective and responsible problem solving and decision
making in everyday life. Due to the global awareness of the importance of
mathematical knowledge on the one hand, and the concern expressed for
many years at various levels of education about underachievement in

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
Figure 1.4. The Conceptual Framework
According to (Cvencek et al., 2018). “Math is for males,” which
resulted to the underrepresentation of women in the field of science,
engineering, and mathematics. This stereotype has been influential in the
educational interests and career choices of children. Moreover, the
perception of the society about gender on the Math skills among boys and
girls leads. to the difference in the identification of their skills and
interests at their very young ages.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION
This study focuses on factors that can affect the performance of senior
high school students from Grade 11-12, STEM strand in Immaculate
Conception Polytechnic Meycauayan in general mathematics, this study
will take a survey on every Grade 11-12, STEM students in Immaculate
Conception Polytechnic Meycauayan. We will conduct a survey on how
they maintain their perspective by learning general mathematics as a
reference.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The challenges of modern life necessitate having strong mathematical
skills. The study of mathematics promotes holistic human growth and is
useful in everyday life. Both the special branch of education and the moral
education branch of a student's education are substantially influenced by
mathematics. As STEM students, we increasingly place less emphasis on
the methods of study and more on the mathematical theories and
applications themselves. By concentrating on the fundamental abilities
required by pupils, studying these attempts to close this gap and enable
students to learn more successfully. This research guides the student
through exercises while explaining how to work with examples and
symbols and encouraging them to utilize these tools to apply arithmetic

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW RELATED LITERATURE
This chapter primarily presents the different research and other literature from both
foreign and local researchers, which have significant bearings on the variables
included in the research. This also includes the synthesis of the Study.
Foreign Literature
General Mathematics aims to develop learners' understanding of
concepts and techniques drawn from number and algebra, trigonometry
and world geometry, sequences, finance, networks and decision
mathematics and statistics, in order to solve applied problems.
Foreign Studies
According to Ishumi Klein and Orton (2018 et.al.), (Journal of
Education and Practice-2.1 The role of language in Mathematics
Instruction. The primary role of language is to enable both the teacher
and learners share mathematical knowledge with precision. A teacher
needs to use language suitable for the cognitive development of learners.
Based on our opinion

appropriate language should be used so that the student could
understand well what being taught.
According to Chris Rasmussen and Karen Marrongelle (2019

et.al.), teaching in a manner consistent with reform recommendations is
a challenging and often overwhelming task. Part of this challenge involves
using students' thinking and understanding as a basis for the

development of mathematical ideas. The purpose of this article is to
address this challenge by developing the notion of pedagogical content
tool.
A pedagogical content tool is a device such as a graph, diagram,
equation, or verbal statement that a teacher intentionally uses to connect
to student thinking while moving the mathematical agenda forward. We
tender two examples of pedagogical content tools: Transformational
record and generative alternative.
According to Realistic Mathematics Education (RME 2022 et.al. )
These two pedagogical content tools are put forth as instructional
counterparts to the . design heuristics of emergent models and guided
reinvention, respectively. We illustrate the pedagogical content tools of
transformational record and generative alternative by drawing on
examples from two classroom teaching experiments in undergraduate
differential equations.
According to Kaiser-Messmer G. (2020 et.al.), differences in attitude
towards mathematics between boys and girls were evaluated in an
empirical study carried out in (west)German secondary schools during

1989 on a group of 748 students aged 14–19. The main focus of the
study was to ascertain whether the results from previous studies of the
last decade,

which reported significant differences between boys' and girls' attitudes to

mathematics, were still valid.
According to Fennema & Sherman , Sells . Tobias & Donady ,
(Carey, Graf & Ruddell, , (Ernest, , Fennema, ,; Pederson,
Shihedling, & Johnson, 2018 et.al.), the fact that large numbers of
women avoid mathematics in the latter years of high school and to a
certain degree do not achieve as well as males even when they continue
with mathematics According to (Fennema & Sherman, 2020 et.al.)
has been of increasing concern to educators, psychologists, sociologists,
and other students of human behavior. This deficit in mathematics
education has serious implications for the career options available to both
women who attend 4 year colleges and to those who choose to enroll in
more vocationally oriented programs .
Local literature
General Mathematics is a game played according to certain simple rules
with meaningless marks on paper.” (David Hilbert) “Mathematics is the
door and key of the sciences.” ( Roger Bacon) “Mathematics is the science
of what is clear by itself.
Local Studies
According to Emerson Peteros, Antonietta Gamboa, Jonathan O.
Etcuban, Aahron Dinauanao, Regina Sitoy, Redjie Arcadio (2019),
Self-concept in mathematics can be defined as student ratings of their

skills, ability, enjoyment, and interest in mathematics is seen as an

essential factor in their achievement in math. This study assessed the
self-concept and academic performance in Math of the Grade 10 students
of a public national high school, Cebu, Philippines. The study employed
descriptive correlational research.
Based on our opinion
mathematics can define a students ratings of their skills, ability,
enjoyment and interest in mathematics. when a student enjoys
mathematics they seek opportunities to enhance their mathematical skills
According to Ruth Quintillan-bugas (2020) (LEAPS: Miriam College
Faculty Research Journal, vol. 33 no. 1), This paper aims to
understand the learning styles and personality types of high and low
performing high school students in Math. It is through understanding
these factors that the teaching-learning process can become more
effective and meaningful. The basis for classifying students into high or
low was their Math grade. Students with Math grades of 79 and below
were classified as low performing and students with Math grades of 90
and above were classified as high performing.
According to Brown-Jeffy, 2018, Hofferth & Sandberg, 2021,
Marilys Hernandez (2018), etc.), many researches around the world
were being conducted due to the existing trends that the mathematics
performance is being affected by the socio-economic status of the

parents. Most researches were conducted correlating mathematics
performance and
socio-economic status of the students wherein, it is found out that

learners who got higher grades in mathematics belonged to the upper
class of the family in the society.
According to Kamoru & Ramon (2018), on the other hand, most
researchers had reported that boys have more positive self-concept than
girls in Mathematics It was also observed that boys outperform girls in
standardized test in Math, but girls perform better when specific tests are
given to measure their knowledge and understanding on the topics
discussed.(Ganley et al., 2013; Spencer et al., 1999). Several established
results which proved that boys perform better in Math exist, but still, this
area should be explored further to affirm or contradict the previous
findings presented in this literature.
According to Audinez A. S. (2019), the 2-year Philippine Senior High
School (SHS) commenced only in 2016. This phonomyography study
aimed to describe, explain and explore the teaching of SHS Mathematics
to include problems encountered. and interventions done by the teachers.
Two schools in Quezon City were purposively chosen to be the study site
with a maximal variation sampling where 8 teacher-respondents
participated in the study. Classroom observation and one-on-one
interview were conducted with the aid of self-designed protocols.
2.4. Synthesis
This brief report shows the academic performance in General Mathematics
which Grade 11-12 senior high school students take during their first
semester. Results show that the overall academic performance of Grade

11-12 students in General Mathematics is Mean=86.49, SD=6.53. This
brief report also reveals the academic performance and descriptives of
Grade 11-12, students when grouped according to Sex, Strand, and
School Year attended. It also shows that there exists significant
differences in the academic performance of Grade 11-12 senior high
school students when grouped according to Sex, Strand, and School Year
attended. Academic performance, according to Dinglasan & Patena
(2013), relates to how students handle their studies and how they cope
with or complete the tasks assigned to them by their lecturers. The ability
to study and remember facts, as well as the ability to transmit acquired
knowledge vocally or on paper, are typically assessed through grades.
One of the school’s key goals is to improve academic achievement as
indicated by examination results.
The goal of transmitting knowledge and skills to people who attend them,
with the goal of improving students’ academic performance at the
forefront. The performance of students is crucial in producing high-quality
graduates who will serve as outstanding leaders and personnel for the
country, and thus be accountable for its economic and social progress .
Because educational services result in the transformation of learners’
knowledge, life skills, and behavior, they are typically intangible and
difficult to assess Students receive assistance and support from school
personnel, family members, and the community to improve their
academic performance. This social aid is critical for pupils to achieve their
academic achievement goals . Apart from the social framework, parents’
involvement in their children’s education improves their chances of

academic success.
CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This study was conducted using primary data. A descriptive research methodology
was used for this study. Descriptive method research involves the collection of data
to test hypotheses or answer questions concerning the current status of the subject
of the study. The researchers used this method because it is the most appropriate
method to use and is often used as the data collection technique for all kinds of
research.
The sampling technique used by researchers in this study is purposive sampling.
The sample in the study was calculated using the weighted mean and percentage
formula. Based on the calculation, the sample size was 10 students from a
Immaculate Conception Polytechnic Meycauayan City Bulacan who were grade 11-
12 -STEM strand. The research data is in the form of primary and secondary data.
Qualitative data were collected using a questionnaire by researchers from various
existing sources, either from official bodies or institutions, books, reports, journals, or
other scientific studies.
3.1. Population, Sample Size and Sampling Technique
A four-point scale questionnaire containing (4) Strongly Disagree, (3) Disagree, (2)
Agree, and (1) Strongly Agree is the method used to measure the response of the
sampling population, which includes the students at the Grade 11-12- STEM strand.

school year, 2023–2024, for students only.
3.3. Research Instrument
Since this research paper was conducted during the face-to-face classes the
researchers decided to use the research instrument of a face-to-face interview
directly to the corresponding respondents respectively.
3.4. Data- Gathering Procedure
The researchers spent a lot of time, effort, and cooperation in developing their
questionnaire to serve its intended respondents. The Interview survey questionnaire
was created using appropriate questions from related research studies. In the
questionnaire, the Likert scale was used to determine if the respondents are satisfied
or not base on their opinion.
After the research adviser approved the researchers will start conducting interview to
their respondents. Participants were given enough time to respond before the
researchers done with. Lastly, the data gathered from this study were tallied and
computed for interpretation according to the frequency of items checked by the
researchers.
3.5. Statistical Analysis
The following statistical procedures were used to interpret the data gathered from the
respondents of the study.
Simple Percentage. The demographic profile variables of the respondents were
analyzed using a simple percentage with the following formula:
P = F/N (100)
Where:
P = Percentage
F = Frequency of each category
N = Total number of respondents
100 = Constant multiplier
Weighted Mean. This statistical tool was used to compute the weight of the
responses in the questionnaire as assigned by the respondents during the actual
data gathering procedure. The formula for the weighted mean is as follows:
WM = Σ FW/N
Where:
WM = Weighted Mean
Σ = Summation symbol
F = Frequency for each option
W = Assigned Weight
N = Total number of frequencies

Likert Scale. The following Likert Scale serves as the guide for interpreting
the data gathering.

10%. 19-21 years old.
This implies that most of the respondent’s under the age distribution of Respondents
was 17-18 years old.
As shown in table 1.2, the Sex distribution of Respondents, out of 10 respondents,
the data was interpreted from highest to lowest frequency, female has the highest
frequency of 5 counts with a percentage of 50%, followed by Male having a
frequency of 5 counts with a percentage of 50%.
This implies that the respondents were both sexes with 5 counts or 50% Female and
Male 50 counts or 50% with a total of 10 as frequency and percentage of 100%

As shown in table 1.3, Distribution of Respondents according to Marital Status, out
of 10 respondents, the data was interpreted that Single with the frequency of 10
counts or 100%. the respondents solely with a single as marital status.
As shown in table 1.4, the Course strand distribution of Respondents, out of 10
respondents, the data was interpreted from both garnering 5 or 50% in STEM 11 and
STEM 12.
The least frequency is Prefer not to say having a frequency of 0 with a percentage of
0%. This implies that most of the respondents under the COURSE distribution of
Respondents are both STEM 11 and STEM 12 strand.
As shown in table 1.5 the distribution of location of achool It reveals that the
researchers conduct interview directly to the respondents in ICP Meycauayan with
10 respondents as frequency and with a percentage of 100%/
2. Assessment of the Respondents on The factors affecting performance in

general mathematics
Table 2 shows the assessment of the respondents on factors affecting performance in
general mathematics. The result obtained an overall weighted mean of “3.28, interpreted
as “agree”.
It revealed that the respondents agree with their factors affecting performance in general
mathematics in terms of the business can pay on its borrowings, in terms of 1. “The
students frequently has an interest in general mathematics.” “2. The students aware on
the study habits of general mathematics”. “3. The students personally needs teachers
good personality traits in teaching easy method”. According to Fennema &

Sherman , Sells . Tobias & Donady , (Carey, Graf & Ruddell, ,
(Ernest, , Fennema, 1st PMS Building, Mc Arthur Highway Main Rd.
,; Pederson, Shihedling, & Johnson, 2018 et.al.), the fact that large
numbers of women avoid mathematics in the latter years of high school and
to a certain degree do not achieve as well as males even when they continue
with mathematics.
3. Assessment of the Respondents on the factors affecting academic performance

of senior high school students in math
Table 3.1. shows the assessment of the respondents on factors affecting academic
performance of senior high school students in math The result obtained an overall
weighted mean of “3.24, interpreted as “agree”. It revealed that the respondents agree
with factors affecting academic performance of senior high school students in math in
terms of awareness of the students in General mathematics.
According to (Fennema & Sherman, 2020 et.al.) has been of increasing
concern to educators, psychologists, sociologists, and other students of
human behavior. This deficit in mathematics education has serious
implications for the career options available to both women who attend 4-
year colleges and to those who choose to enroll in more vocationally oriented
programs.
CONCLUSIONS
We the researchers finds that the findings of the study the following
conclusions are drawn: Majority of the respondents are 17 years old which is
5 or 50% percent of the total population, males which is 5 percent, and 50%
percent of the population are from STEM 11-12 strand SHS -ICP Meycauayan
City Bulacan. The factors that affect student performance study habit and
interest 1st PMS Building, Mc Arthur Highway Main Rd.
which are under student-related factors and instructional materials used by
the teacher which is under teacher-related factors. Therefore, Propose
intervention is supplementary activities since respondents showed low
interest in the subject. Supplementary activities that will practice good study
habits. The teacher may also use some activities such as games, graphing
software, and integration of all STEM strand in ICP Meycauayan City Bulacan
and other related activities that will boost student interest since majority are
from STEM 11-12 strand and providing workbook/textbooks as reference for
the students.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We the researchers finds that various factors inside and outside school that
contribute for the quality of academic performance of students. This research
study only focused on some of the factors inside the classroom that influence
the student’s achievement scores.
We the researchers finds the key aspect for the educators is to educate their
students effectively so that they may be able to show quality performance in
their academics. To achieve this objective, it is necessary for the educators to
understand better about the factors that may contribute in the academic
success of students which means educators will carry those risks and
challenges on their part.
