Correlates Of Arithmetic Proficiency Of Grade 7 Students Of Wao, Lanao Del Sur

Abstract:

The main aim of this study is to investigate the student’s arithmetic proficiency level and the factors affecting their proficiency. Specifically, the following are the objectives; (a) What is the profile of the students in terms of their age, sex, school type, and family income? (b) What is the arithmetic proficiency of grade 7 students? (c) What are the students’ ratings on the following variables that affect learning Mathematics in terms of interest, study habits, teacher’s personality traits, teaching skills, instructional materials, and parents’ support? (d) Is there a significant relationship between the selected characteristics of the students and arithmetic proficiency level of the grade 7 students? And (e) Is there a significant relationship between the arithmetic proficiency level and the students’ ratings on the variables affecting the learning Mathematics? This was conducted in both public and private schools in Wao, Lanao del Sur with quantitative design. The research revealed that while the students possess positive attitude towards the subject, the schools, teachers and parents, most probably have to take this opportunity to translate this to students’ maximum learning such as providing and/or equipping students with proper education training. Further, especially parents play a crucial role in child development. Despite of the student’s positivity and willingness in learning Mathematics, it is still not related to their level of proficiency.
