SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

Summary

This study was conducted in Rosario Integrated School with a total of seventy

respondents of ABM Senior High school. Descriptive method was used in this study. The

data was gathered through survey questionnaire. The data gathered were statistically

treated using frequency counts and weighted mean.

The main purpose of this study is to determine the factors affecting the performance

in Mathematics of Grade 11 ABM Learners. It aims to find out the appropriate answers to

the following questions (a) what is the profile of the respondents in terms of sex, age,

monthly family income, parents educational attainment and grade in Mathematics? (b) To

what extent do the following factors affects the academic performance in Mathematics as

perceived by the respondents as to teacher factor, student factor, school factor, peer factor,

family factor.

Based on the data gathered, the following are the findings:

1. With the 70 respondents involved mostly are composed of female with 51

learners; ages from 15-16 years old with 19 learners; has a mother of college

graduate with 35 learners, also a father of college graduate witn 31 learners; has

90-100 general average with 43 learners; has Php 5,000-15,000 monthly family

income with 40 learners.

 2. With the factors given that affects the academic performance of the Grade XI-

ABM learners such as Student Factors in terms of interest and study habits,

Teacher Factor in terms of personality traits, teaching skills and instructional

materials and School factor, the respondents averagely rated each as “Always”.

Also, the respondents averagely rated the Peer Factor and Family Factor as

“Often”.

Conclusion

Majority of the ABM learners that participated are female. The averagely ages are

ranging from 15-16 years old. The learners mostly got an average of 90-100. Most of them

has a monthly family income ranging from Php 5,000 – Php 15,000. Most of the learners

have a parent that is a college graduate.

Based on the data gathered, the overall weighted mean of level of interest in

mathematics was 4.31 and interpreted as “always”. Study habits had an average weighted

mean of 4.21 and also interpreted as “always”. Personality traits had an average weighted

mean of 4.47 and interpreted as “always”. Teaching skills had an average weighted mean

of 4.51 and interpreted as “always”. Instructional materials had an average weighted mean

of 4.42 and interpreted as “always”. School factor had an average weighted mean of 4.26

and interpreted as “always”. Peer factor had an average weighted mean of 3.95 and

interpreted as “often”. Family factor had an average weighted mean of 3.88 and interpreted

as “often”.
Recommendation

Based on the conclusions made, the following recommendations are given: that a

more concentrated research on relationship in Mathematics be made by the future

researchers to determine a more focused result on the relationship; that administrators focus

on providing learning materials in mathematics; that the collaborative learning may

implement in learning mathematics; that the parents helps, encourages and monitors the

learners in their math subjects.
