Predictors of Mathematics Achievement of Grade III Pupils
Keywords:
Predictors, Mathematics, Achievement, PupilsAbstract
The study determines the predictors of mathematics achievements of GradeIIIpupils of Catbalogan II Central Elementary School, Catbalogan, Samar for the school year 2009-2010. The study used the descriptive correlational method of research aimed at explaining and describing the predictors of mathematics performance of the gradeIIIpupils of Catbalogan II Central Elementary School for SY 2009-2010. The parent-related factors used to predict mathematics achievement based on the District Achievement Posttest score when the variance in all the other variables are controlled. Thisprobability value is less than the probability value of .05 which means that this variableis a significant predictor. The parent-related factors that can predict Mathematicsachievement of the pupil-respondents based on the District Achievement Posttest scorein Mathematics III is father’s religion, textbook writers and Mathematics III teachersshould give mathematics example in the textbooks which will developed pupils valuesof honesty, thrift, patience, and others which are both personal and family values whichwill not contradict religious teaching. The mathematics curricula shouldemphasizeinteractions between learners and learning tasks, the teachers must continuallyadjustthe level of his or her help in response to the pupil's level of performance. If pupilsaredeficient in computational skills for example which is needed in the succeedingtasksareview should be conducted by the teacher or exercises should be given tohonetheskills.
