Determinants of the Performance in Statistics and Probability of Grade Eleven Senior High School Students in the Division of Pasig City

This study examined the factors influencing Senior High School students’ performance in Statistics and Probability in public secondary schools in the Division of Pasig City. Grounded in the premise that learning outcomes in mathematics are shaped by both internal and external variables, the study sought to identify correlates that may serve as a basis for designing enrichment activities to improve students’ achievement in the subject. Specifically, it explored the effects of study habits, attitude toward the subject, fear and anxiety, and parental involvement on academic performance. The perceived effectiveness of teachers in teaching Statistics and Probability—measured through classroom management, teaching strategies, mastery of content, motivation, teacher–student relationship, and medium of instruction—was also examined. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected from 362 Senior High School students selected through a probability sampling technique. The results revealed that students’ overall performance in Statistics and Probability was at a satisfactory level. Correlation analyses indicated that attitude toward the subject, fear or anxiety levels, parental involvement, and the medium of instruction significantly influenced students’ performance. These findings underscore the need for targeted instructional interventions that foster positive attitudes, reduce anxiety, and encourage parental engagement to enhance students’ understanding of Statistics and Probability. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on mathematics education by emphasizing the multifaceted nature of academic performance and the importance of psychosocial and pedagogical factors in shaping learning outcomes.
