CHAPTER 1. Introduction

Developing countries have superb

educational systems that contributed

much in the welfare of their people

(Hardcastle, 2010).

SINGAPORE


Singapore has been at or near the top of

international leagues tables that measure

children’s ability in reading, math and science.

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA)is a worldwide study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in member and non-member nations of 15-year-

old school pupils' scholastic performance on mathematics, science, and reading. It was first performed in 2000 and then repeated every three

years.

Dr. Watkins emphasized Chinese

children should be emulated in schools

among all students.

SECRET: good home study habit

Performance of students in

mathematics at the end of secondary

education has not improved in the past

decade


lack of proper foundation on mathematics

makes the student suffer in all spheres of

life.

Despite its importance and influence, it is a

subject most feared by students of the

primary school.


In 2010, almost 70% of college

graduates of our country failed in

board examinations.


Subsequently, various factors

have been adduced for this poor

performance .

With this, it is essential for schools to determine

factors which affect these characteristics adversely,

propose remedial measures and employ strategies for

the development of good study habits and study

attitudes.



With the advent of the new K to 12

curriculum surely we can expect

reformation.

CHAPTER 1. Rationale of the Study

The lack of interest and poor study habits

are one of the most frequently voiced

causes for concern in the debate

surrounding education.

Both interest and study habits serve as

important determinants for successful

learning and advanced achievement.

CHAPTER 1. Rationale

When TIMSS was first conducted in 1995 among 42 countries, the

Philippines placed 30th in mathematics.

Philippines- RANKED

36TH out of 38

participating countries.


The Philippines has not improved

its ranking since 1999 and did

not participate in the 2007 and

2011 TIMSS.


An analysis was found out that those Singapore

students who spent less than three hours studying

and who had weak study habits had lower PISA

2009 mathematics scores (Shaljan

Areepattamannil, et.al 2013).

All of Singapore’s students are taught to study from

a very early age. The education system is designed

to train them even as early as 9 years old

Republic Act 10533 or otherwise known as the “Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013” was adopted in the Philippines.


Education Assistant Secretary Elena Ruiz said that DepEd

is trying to do its part. “The K to 12 curriculum in

mathematics has been designed to address the gaps in

mathematics.

A number of researchers have examined the role of non-

cognitive variables such as study skills (Fazal, S. et.al,

2012), study motivation and attitudes (Sarwar et.al,

2010) on academic achievement.


Moreover, a literature review by Nagaraju (2004) pointed

out that, for good academic success, good study habits

and attitudes are important.

National Achievement Test (NAT) are quite dismaying. In

2006 only 25.3%, or only about one-fourth of schools

nationwide, were able to reach the desired 75% cut-off

score in mathematics. The mean percentage score in

math was only 44.

With this, the researcher feels the need to

determine the correlation between pupil’s

interest and study habits in terms of their

Math achievement to have a clearer

understanding on how their low

achievement in Math must be addressed.

CHAPTER 1. Theoretical Framework

The study is anchored on several theories:

Social Cognitive Theory propounded by

Albert Bandura,

BF Skinner’s Operant Conditioning Theory,

Piaget’s Developmental Constructivism

Theory

and Martin Ford’s Motivational Systems

Theory.

FIGURE 1. A conceptual paradigm showing the relationship of

pupils’ mathematics achievement and pupil-related factors.

CHAPTER 1. Statement of Problem

This study aims to determine the

relationship between pupil-related factors

such as the interest and study habits in

terms of the achievement in Mathematics

from grade four to six pupils of Inopacan

Central School for the second quarter of

school year 2017-2018.

CHAPTER 1. Statement of Problem

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the extent of pupils’ interest and study habits?

2. What is the profile of the level of pupils’ achievement in Mathematics?

3. Is there a significant relationship between pupils’ Mathematics achievement and

3.1 interest, and

3.2 study habits?

4. Is there a significant relationship between study habits and interest towards

Mathematics?

5. What are the factors that affect pupils’ interest and study habits?

6. What strategies/interventions can help increase the interest and develop good

study habits among the learners?

CHAPTER 1. Statement of Hypothesis

The following are the null hypotheses of

this study:

1. There is no significant relationship between pupils’

Mathematics achievement and interest.

2. There is no significant relationship between pupils’

Mathematics achievement and study habits.

3. There is no relationship between study habits and interest.

CHAPTER 1. Significance of the Study

The result of the study is deemed significant to

the following stakeholders with the following

reasons:

School Administrators

Curriculum Planners

Math Teachers

Pupils

Parents

Future Researchers

CHAPTER 1. Scope and Delimitations

* This study covers only Grade four to grade six

pupils and Mathematics teachers of Inopacan

REVIEW OF RELATED

LITERATURE

CHAPTER 3. Review of related Literature

McCleod (1992) said that attitude toward

mathematics is related to mathematics

success in the classroom. Conversely,

student’s achievement can influence a

student’s attitude as well.


Tata (2013) made his study in Nigeria and came out with

findings that, students’ negative attitude toward

mathematics, fear of mathematics, ineffective teaching

method and inadequate teaching materials were some of

the causes of poor performance in Mathematics.

Developing positive attitude, motivation and proper

guidance toward this subject and provision of relevant

teaching materials could make students perform better

in Mathematics.


Zachariah Kariuki Mbugua, et.al (2012)’s study on

“Factors Contributing To Students’ Poor

Performance in Mathematics” found out that the

cause of most failures in Mathematics might not be

due to insufficient or inadequate instruction but by

active resistance by the learners. This argument

suggests that favorable attitudes and good study

habit towards Mathematics should be developed

for achievement in the subject to improve.


Sawar et al. (2009) in their analysis on

“Study Orientation of High and Low

Academic Achievers at Secondary School

Level on Pakistan” revealed that the high

achievers had better study orientation,

study habit than the low achievers.


According to Zulcarnain,et.al (2000),

students' attitudes need to be fostered

throughout the process of teaching and

learning in order to have a good

achievement.


Crede and Kuncel (2008) concluded to

establish effective study, students require

study skills, motivation, study habits, and

study attitude.


Many students are unsuccessful in their

examinations not because they are short of

knowledge or ability, but because they do

not have adequate study habits and study

skills (Menzal, 1982).


Good students are not

born but are made by

regular and deliberate

practice of fine study

habits for which there is

no alternative.


According to (Kizlik 2001) development of

good study habits in children depends upon

the collective efforts of parents and

teachers.
