Assessing Senior High Student’s Learning Experiences in Mathematics

Abstract

In this study, the learning experience and its cognitive factors of Mathematics among senior high school students of Visayas State University were investigated using a correlational research approach. A complete enumeration of 222 grade 11 and 12 senior high students in the second semester of school year 2018-2019 were used as the participants of the survey. Using a developed structured questionnaire, a primary data was employed. Results showed that the mathematics attitude of students influence their learning experience and academic performance. Mathematics anxiety has a negative effect on the students learning experience especially for females. However, mathematical resilience locates itself in a positive psychology which addresses mental wellness and makes the students positively perceived that mathematics is interesting even if it is challenging. Also, results revealed that senior high school students are mostly visual learners in mathematics, which implies that students practice visualizing or pictures numbers/equations and other concepts in their mind. Furthermore, it can be gleaned that an academic performance is not just derived from study habits but to their motivation and interest in mathematics

Knowledge Acquisition Practices and Reading Comprehension Skills of the Learners in Hilongos South District, Leyte Division, Philippines

“…The results further imply that the knowledge acquisition support provided by the teachers in order to be proficient in reading had no significant correlation to the knowledge acquisition practices of the learners such as active participation in class activities, reading books, solving problems, comprehending what is read and others. This result is not consistent to the findings of (Casinillo et al, 2020) that deals with effective teaching strategies.…”

“…This study adopted the descriptive-survey and correlational method of research. The design of this research is based on the current study of (Casinillo et al, 2020). This method tried to explore and describe the prevailing knowledge acquisition practices obtaining in a particular place or situation as well as the reading level of the pupils in terms of prior knowledge and vocabulary and their reading comprehension.…”

“…A good climate at home and at school can foster positive influence of the knowledge acquisition of the pupils. In fact, studies have shown that more stimulating class atmosphere has good implications for our students (Casinillo et al, 2020;Saariaho et al, 2019;Saputra, 2017). A negative climate may impede learning and performance, but a positive climate can energize students' learning (Lombardi et al, 2019;Maxwell et al, 2017).…”

The Suitability of Students in Bachelor of Science in Statistics (BSS) Program

“…The research design of this study was inferential in nature that determines the significant relationship of two variables. This design was based on the study of (Casinillo et al, 2020) which deals with correlational research approach. All BSS students officially enrolled at VSU in the second semester of SY 2012-2013 were included in the study regardless of when they started in the program.…”

Mathematical disposition of students’, teachers, and parents in distance learning: A survey

“…This contradicts the expectations of teachers and parents that students must study hard and diligently, to get the best results. The results of the interview excerpt imply that the students' curiosity is the initial capital for the implementation of a productive learning process (Casinillo et al, 2020;Hutajulu et al, 2019). High curiosity will encourage students to fulfill the desire to gain knowledge.…”
