Finding the X-Factors of DMMMSU-SLUC Scholars

Abstract

Academic performance of the students also rely on a various socioeconomic variables like students’ participation in the class, family pay, and teacher-student ratio, presence of qualified teachers in school and gender of the student. Seemingly, academic performance encompasses radial factors of determination. Thus, the needs assessment of student academic performance would help the proponent in identify the X-Factors of DMMMSU-SLUC Scholars. Descriptive research design is adapted, explicitly survey and correlational researches. There were 64 scholarship grantees of DMMM-SLUC, taken respondents in a random basis. Secondary data of the scholar’s students’ inventory were considered. Among the factors considered in this study, only educational attainment of mother is significantly associated to the academic performance of students. On the other hand, the type of scholarship is significant, but negatively correlated to the academic performance of the scholars. In the analysis, the x-Factor of DMMMSU-SLU scholars is the educational attainment of mother and the coefficients recommends the following equation/model: Academic performance (AP) = 81.261 + 1.305(educational attainment of mother (EAM)). Also, the derived model could be used to predict the performance of every scholar, knowing the educational attainment of mother.
