Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 06
Abstract
Writing is an indispensable means of communication that facilitates expression and creativity. This study sought to ascertain the students’ demographic profile, evaluate the extent of writing challenges and attitudes toward writing, identify any significant relationships between the three variables, and identify the demographic profile that influences the students' attitude toward writing either independently or in association. The respondents were the one hundred fifty (150) Grade 11 Senior High School students from the Southwest II District Division of Cagayan de Oro City for the School Year 2022 – 2023. The instrument was adapted and modified from the study of Khadawardi (2022). The data collection and statistical processing were done using the weighted mean, correlation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and regression analysis. The results showed that the level of writing challenges in terms of content, mechanics, and organization is Highly Challenged and their level of attitude towards writing is High. There is a significant relationship between the demographic profile, writing challenges, and attitude towards writing. Age has a significant influence on students’ attitudes towards writing. Thus, students’ perceived writing challenges are correlated to their attitudes and age. Teachers and administrators need to implement the interventions recommended in this study like helping them to organize their thoughts and ideas.
