DETERMINANTS OF THE NATIONAL ACHIEVEMENT TEST RESULTS OF THE SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN THE PROVINCE OF BILIRAN, PHILIPPINES
Journal Title: International Journal of Engineering Sciences & Research Technology - Year 0, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the performance of senior secondary students of the secondary schools in the province of Biliran, Philippines in the national achievement test and to examine whether non-intellective variables significantly influenced the achieved ratings of the said test. Sixteen (16) secondary schools were involved in the study comprising eight (8) municipalities and 1,470 student-respondents who took the test. It used the descriptive method where it described the data obtained from the survey. The performance of the senior students in the national achievement test was above average. Age and gender of students and the size and type of the secondary school were significant determinants affecting their achievement test results. Young and female examinees performed better than their counterpart in the achievement test. Big secondary schools performed better than the small secondary schools while vocational secondary schools achieved better than the national secondary schools in the said test. Considering age and gender of senior students as determinants influencing achievement results, it is recommended that special classes and remedial instructions for the low achievers should be provided by the concerned school principals and administrators. Secondary schools which are situated in one municipality should be integrated especially if the distance is very manageable, favourable and accessible. Furthermore, national secondary schools should adapt the administration and supervision of instruction of vocational secondary schools.
