    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.
