Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 24, Issue 9
Abstract
Education is crucial for Filipinos, offering a path to a better future. Despite challenges, the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) strives to deliver quality education, emphasizing the importance of assessments like the Division Achievement Test (DAT) in measuring student learning. This study analyzes the DAT results and academic performance in Mathematics of high school students at San Isidro National High School, Tagbilaran City. The research aimed to evaluate the correlation between DAT results and academic performance and to propose measures for improvement. Data was collected from 319 students across grades 7 to 10, utilizing documentary analysis of final ratings in Mathematics and DAT results. Findings revealed that Grade 7 students had a mean DAT score of 62.69%, indicating a need for improvement. In contrast, their academic performance was rated as satisfactory, with a mean score of 80.34%. The study also showed that San Isidro National High School ranked third among seven public high schools in Tagbilaran City. Analysis indicated a significant correlation between DAT results and academic performance, with higher academic achievers also performing well on the DAT. There was no significant difference between male and female students' DAT results, but females outperformed males in academic performance. These findings highlight the need for targeted interventions, such as remediation sessions and peer tutoring, to enhance student performance. Recommendations include close monitoring of students with low DAT scores, conducting item analysis after summative tests, and promoting the use of learning modules and resources. The study underscores the importance of continuous assessment and support to improve educational outcomes for Filipino students.
