Abstract

The main objective of this study was to determine whether nonverbal communication and mathematics self-concept predict academic performance in General Mathematics of Grade 11 learners. This study employed descriptive and correlational designs. Using the stratified random sampling, 292 Grade 11 learners were selected as respondents from the four selected private schools in Davao City, Philippines. Furthermore, this study used two adapted and one researcher-made summative test questionnaires to gather data, which were analyzed using mean, standard deviation and Pearson r. The results of the study showed that nonverbal communication is manifested most of the time by the teacher, and mathematics self-concept is moderately evident among Grade 11 learners. However, the academic performance in General Mathematics of Grade 11 learners is poor. The results also showed that nonverbal communication and mathematics self-concept have no significant relationship with academic performance in General Mathematics. Hence, nonverbal communication and mathematics self-concept are not predictors of academic performance.
