Using Information and Communication Technology on Students’ Mathematics Performance in National High Schools in the Philippines

This research investigates the prospective influence of Information and Communication Technology on students' Mathematics performance in selected National High Schools in the Philippines for the School Year 2023-2024. The study used a descriptive correlation research design. The study's respondents comprise 146 Grade 7 students, randomly selected from the total population. A two-part adapted survey questionnaire from Bam (2021) and a researcher-made Math Achievement test questionnaire were used as instruments of the study. The data were treated using simple percentages, frequency counts, weighted means, and Pearson's r correlation. There were more females (59%) than males and most (60%) were 11-12 years old. The highest educational attainment of the majority of the mothers and fathers was high school graduate comprising 33 percent and 32 percent, respectively with 58 percent of the respondents having a family monthly income of below 10,000. There was a Satisfactory mean score of 22.54 for mathematics achievement with a standard deviation of 3.49. The level of ICT integration was 3.90, interpreted as Positive. However, there was no strong correlation between ICT integration and mathematics performance. It is concluded that the respondent’s perceptions of ICT integration and their mathematical achievement have no bearing on their performance in mathematics. A proposed ICT integration plan is recommended to give teachers worthwhile learning opportunities on how to further enhance their ICT integration skills.
