Learning Styles and Math Performance Analysis
Learning Styles and Math Performance Analysis
The study tested the null hypothesis that there is no significant degree of correlation between learning styles and academic performance in mathematics among Grade 10 students at Holy Child Academy .
The study explored significant relationships between the students' profiles—such as age and sex—and both their levels of learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) and their academic performance in mathematics .
The study proposed a recommendation plan based on its findings to address the relationship between learning styles and academic performance, ultimately to suggest improvements for educational practices at Holy Child Academy .
The study used a 5-Point Likert scale checklist questionnaire, which incorporated standardized questions from 'Conquering Math Anxiety' by Dr. Cynthia A. Arem, to assess the students' learning styles .
The study evaluated three learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic, in relation to academic performance in mathematics .
The study concluded whether there was a significant correlation between learning styles and academic performance in mathematics, with a concern to either accept or reject the null hypothesis which stated that no significant correlation exists .
The researchers used a descriptive survey method and a 5-Point Likert scale checklist questionnaire with standardized questions from Dr. Cynthia A. Arem's 'Conquering Math Anxiety' to gather data. The study aimed to explore the relationship by examining variables such as age, sex, and learning styles with the students’ academic performance. They analyzed the data with a specific statistical test to identify correlations between these variables .
The primary objective of the study was to determine the relationship between students' learning styles and their academic performance in mathematics among Grade 10 students at Holy Child Academy during the 2022-2023 academic year .
The study collected demographic information on grade 10 students at Holy Child Academy based on age and sex .
Understanding the relationship between learning styles and academic performance can help educators tailor their teaching methods to better suit the individual needs of students, potentially enhancing learning efficiency and academic success .
