Synopsis

Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Didactics - Mathematics, grade: 1.37, Laguna State Polytechnic University, language: English, abstract: This study purposely aims to find out the relationship between mathematics performance of the college students of the Asian Institute of Technology and Education (AITE) and their perceptions regarding their problem solving abilities in terms of verbal, spatial, and numerical. The study further attempts to correlate the performance of the students in mathematics and assessment results in verbal ability test, spatial ability test and numerical ability test. The conceptual paradigm of this study consists of independent and dependent variables. The independent variables are the person-related factors; perceived problem solving abilities and assessment test scores in verbal, spatial and numerical while the dependent variable is the students' mathematics performance. The specific problems which this work seeks to answer are the following: What are the person-related factors of the respondents in terms of the following: age, gender, course, socio-economic status (parents' educational attainment, parents' monthly income and source of family income), and type of school last attended? What is the level of mathematics performance of the students in algebra? How do the respondents perceive the following problem solving abilities in terms of: verbal, spatial-visualization, and quantitative/numerical? What is the level of performance of the students in the assessment test with regards to: Verbal, Spatial, and numerical? Is the mathematics performance significantly related to the perceived problem solving abilities in terms of: Verbal, Spatial; and numerical? And does the mathematics performance significantly relate the level of performance in the assessment test?
