Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine the Mathematical Thinking of BSED -Math students: Contributory of Study Habits and Utilization of Schoology. This study made use of Descriptive Correlational research designs. The respondents were selected through Purposive Sampling method. Based on the findings, it reveals that majority of the respondents were typically young adults who were 20 years old and above and were mostly females. The respondents have high level of Mathematical Thinking in terms of connections, representation, communication, reasoning, and problem solving. In terms of Study Habits, respondents have good study habits in terms of time management, self-discipline, concentration, organization, and effort. The respondents have great extent of utilization of Schoology in terms of uploading and notifications, activities and submissions and monitoring and evaluation. The relationship between mathematical thinking skills and the study habits of the respondents indicates a moderate positive correlation. On the other hand, the relationship between mathematical thinking skills and the extent of utilization of schoology of the respondents indicates a weak positive correlation. The result shows that the mathematical thinking skills of BSED-Math 3 students are high. Their study habits are also good and the extent of utilization of schoology is great.
