Coping Mechanisms of Grade 7 students in Mathematics of Pedro S. Tolentino Memorial National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

For most children, the transition from primary to junior high school develops a feeling of mixed excitement and anxiety. They too are looking forward to learning new things; these make them excited to go to Junior High School.

METHODS

It involves description, recording, analysis, and interpretation of the determinants that affect the students' performance in Mathematics such as strategies employed by the teachers to cope up with the transition from elementary to high school and the coping mechanisms of grade 7mathematics students.

RESULTS

Mathematics teachers give great importance to the psychomotor domain and affective domain rather than the cognitive domain. The relationship between Mathematics teacher and Grade 7 students is directly proportional.

DISCUSSIONS

The highest factor for the students is Teacher's Approaches while the Cognitive aspect effects in a lowly manner.
