    Smartphone utilization and mathemattics performance of junior high school students
    Sabado, Honey Leen (Davao del Sur State College, 2024)
    Smartphones have been extensively utilized by students in the context of mathematics education and it influences their academic achievement in the subject. These study assessed the smartphone utilization and mathematics performance of junior high school students at San Isidro National High School, utilizing descriptive-comparative research. A total of 153 respondents completed a survey questionnaire to measure smartphone utilization, while mathematics performance was evaluated based on first quarter grades in Math. Data analysis involved mean, Spearman's rho, Independent Samples Mann-Whitney U Test, and Kruskal Wallis Test. It was found that students had a moderate level of smartphone utilization. At 0.05 level of significance, it was found that there is no significant difference in the utilization of smartphone when classified by sex and type of smartphone. Thus, there is no significant relationship between smartphone utilization and mathematics performance of junior high school students.

    Personal disposition and teacher related factors towards performance in mathematics
    Daligdig, Kyla B. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-06)
    This study aimed to investigate the correlation between personal disposition and teacher related factors, towards performance in mathematics among grade 10 students at Hagonoy National High School. A quantitative-descriptive correlational study was conducted on a total of 191 students participating in the study, responding to a questionnaire assessing their personal disposition and teacher-related factors. The results showed a significant positive correlation between personal disposition, particularly in terms of interest and study habits, and mathematics performance. However, no significant relationship was found between teacher-related factors (personality traits, teaching skills, institutional materials) and mathematics performance. This suggests that while teacher related factors may not directly correlate with mathematics performance, there exists a positive correlation between personal disposition and mathematics performance. Enhancing students' personal disposition towards mathematics is crucial for improving academic performance. Additionally, the lack of significant correlation with teacher-related factors implies that other variables or factors beyond teachers' characteristics and classroom practices may play a more influential role in determining students' academic performance in mathematics. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of these factors is essential for improving mathematics education beyond traditional measures of teacher quality and classroom effectiveness.
