Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The main purpose of this research was to identify the significant relationship between the study habits and mathematics academic performance among the Grade 6 pupils in Lual Elementary School.

METHODS

Quantitative-Qualitative / Mixed Method of Research

RESULTS

The level of the pupils' academic performance in Mathematics was "Fairly Satisfactory". The extent of study habits as assessed by the pupil-respondents themselves was "Rarely". Learners' Attitude towards the Subject, Teacher Factor, Classmate Factor, and School Factor were the problems encountered by the pupils in studying Mathematics. The result showed that there is a correlation between study habits and mathematics academic performance of the pupil-respondents, and a proposed intervention program was designed.

DISCUSSIONS

The majority of the respondents has not gained and mastered yet the required skills in Mathematics. They have poor study habits as they responded to the item rarely. Learners’ attitude towards the subject plays very much of a problem; Teacher Factor is much of a problem; Classmate Factor is moderately a problem; and School Factor is slightly a problem. There is a significant relationship that exists between learners' study habits and their Mathematics academic performance; and a course of action must be designed and implemented immediately to enhance the level of Mathematics academic performance and develop study habits among Grade 6 learners in Lual Elementary School. Based on the findings and conclusions, recommendations were drawn that served as bases to design intervention program to enhance the level of Mathematics academic performance and develop study habits among pupils/learners.
