Keywords:
Correlation, Pupil's Perfromance, NAtional Achievement Test (NAT)Abstract
This study assessed the grade III pupils’ performance in 2010 National Achievement Test (NAT) and determined the correlates that affected them with the end view of recommending intervention strategies to improve subsequent performance. The study used the descriptive-correlational research design using the questionnaire and achievement test as major instruments to gather the needed data. In correlating pupils’ height and their NAT performance in English-Grammar, Science and Filipino-RC, the resulting correlation coefficients were: -0.246; -0.197, and -0.205, respectively. The test of significance done on these values yielded computed t-values of: 3.421 for English-Grammar; 2.711 for Science, and 2.821 for Filipino-RC which proved numerically greater than the critical t-value of 1.96 at a=0.05, df= 182. This gave evidence to reject the hypothesis involving the relationship between pupils; height and their NAT performance in the aforesaid learning areas. Relative to the problems experienced by pupils in their NAT preparation, the following conclusions were made: a) pupils’ respondents assessed them as “Slightly felt”; b) teacher-respondents considered them as “moderately felt”, and parent-respondents rated them as “slightly felt”. Perceptions of the three groups of respondents differed significantly from each other, indicating that their perceptions were not similar. The pupils and parents just “slightly felt” the problems; while the teachers “moderately felt” the problems. The three groups of respondents considered the following as “problems” of grade III pupils relative their NAT preparation: a) inattentive while the review while the review was going; b) got easily tired in shading circles of answer, and c) no observance of correctness and neatness in their work.
