Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 13, Issue 2

Abstract

The fact that every student has their own level of mathematical competence and unique learning style should be understood and addressed by all educators. This thesis employed descriptive correlational method which aimed to describe the learning competency and styles of grade 11 students in General Mathematics, an array of students' attributes, and analyzes the relationship of these attributes with their competency test and learning styles. This study used chi-square to evaluate the relationship between respondent's attributes and the competency test and learning styles. Moreover, the current study used ANOVA to examine whether a difference exists between learning competency and styles in General Mathematics based on SHS tracks of the respondents. The respondents comprised of 356 grade 11 students of City of Bogo Science and Arts Academy Senior High School who took the 80-item competency test in General Mathematics and the Learning Style Assessment survey. The result suggests that senior high school track and grade in grade 10 Mathematics is related with the learning competency of respondents. On the other hand, learning style is related with gender and senior high school track. Furthermore, when respondents are group based on senior high school tracks there is a significant difference in their learning competency while there is no significant difference in their learning styles. The study recommends that teachers should use teaching methods that accommodate a variety of learning styles. Further research is needed to determine the impact of learning style in the learning competency of the respondents.
