Abstract

This study was conducted with the purpose of finding out whether the character traits significantly influenced the problem solving analysis skills and academic achievement in mathematics of Senior High School students. It was a descriptive – survey and correlational study which involved 75 students, total enumeration was utilized. Questionnaires were availed to gather the data needed. Frequency count, percentage, weighted mean and chi-square (x2) were employed to arrive at precise and valid results. The findings of the study revealed that character traits of students were varied, however, majority were satisfactory. They practiced acceptable and healthy behaviours in relating with others. Majority of the pupils were above average in their level of problem analysis skills in involving problems in mathematics. Most of them had achieved an academic achievement of satisfactory.
