Attitude of the Second and Third Year High School Students of St. Mary's College, QC Towards Transfer Task and Their Performance in TLE/Computer Subject

Abstract

This study is an attempt to determine the relationship of students' attitude towards transfer task and their performance in the subject: TLE/Computer. The students' performance was measured in terms of their third grading point average (GPA)in TLE/Computer and attitude scale was used to measure the students' attitude towards transfer task. There were 241 randomly selected students in the second and third year high school levels in St. Mary's College in the SY 2011-2012. Percentage, frequency, mean and the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (r) were the tools used to analyse the statistics and hypothesis. Based on all the data gathered and the results, it was determined that majority of the students strongly agreed that the transfer tasks given in their TLE/Computer subject are relevant because they require appropriate knowledge and skills that can be applied in their daily lives. Majority of the students obtained an average rating of 88.22 in TLE/Computer during the third grading period. This study revealed that there is no significant relationship between the level of performance of the students and their attitude towards transfer tasks.
