Abstract:

This study aimed to assess perceptions of learning retention and academic achievement among Elementary Education students at Davao del Sur State College. A descriptive research design was employed, involving 86 respondents. Pearson's r was used to determine the relationship between learning retention and academic achievement. Findings revealed that students demonstrated high learning retention, suggesting they are likely able to achieve mastery through their own learning strategies. Their academic achievement was also found to be very satisfactory, indicating consistent engagement with their studies. However, the results further showed that there is no significant relationship between learning retention and academic achievement among the respondents.
