The literature revealed that among senior high school students, mathematics anxiety was found to be prevalent. However, the literature lacked investigations with regards to the mathematics anxiety of this group of students and the factors that can affect it. To address the gap, this quantitative study examined the students’ experiences on teacher interactions, pedagogical practices and mathematical content and their significant relationship to the students’ level of mathematics anxiety. The respondents were 101 STEM students of Pikit National High School and the study used descriptive statistics as well as correlational analysis. The study revealed that STEM students experienced moderately positive teacher interactions, moderately student-centered teaching, moderately ...

The higher the ability of the person to reason abstractly, the higher the probability that a person will effectively function in the society. Thus, it is the main goal of the K-12 Curriculum of the Department of Education to improve the reasoning abilities and formal reasoning among students in the country. The higher the reasoning ability of a person, the more productive he is. The ability of logical reasoning has an essential function in the academic performance of students and their construction of the concepts. This study aimed to determine the logical reasoning abilities of 150 randomly selected junior high school students. Specifically, this study aimed to determine the logical reasoning abilities namely combinatorial reasoning, controlling variables, correlation reasoning, probabilistic reasoning and proportional reasoning among the grade 10 junior high school students and de...
