Numeracy Skill, Learning Style, and Learning Engagement of Students in Relation to Academic Performance: Basis for Enhancement

Joeveline Chrisman

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The study determined the numeracy skill, learning style, and learning engagement of Grade 9 students in relation to their academic performance in the District 3B, Division of Bacolod City for S.Y. 2023-2024. Three hundred four Grade 9 students were the respondents of the study. Their numeracy skill was taken from the Mid E-RUNT result. A standardized questionnaire on the learning style of students and a modified questionnaire to measure the learning engagement of Grade 9 were used in this study. The results of the study were as follows: most of the students were numerates, displayed a kinesthetic learning style, have a high level of learning engagement, and obtained a very satisfactory academic performance. There was a significant relationship between the numeracy skills of Grade 9 students and their academic performance, and between the level of learning engagement and their academic performance. However, there was no significant relationship between the learning style and the academic performance of students. It is recommended to implement focused numeracy programs like tutoring after-school programs, summer math classes, and incorporating numeracy exercises into normal classroom procedures. Teachers may use individualized instruction adapted to how their students learn (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic) to improve understanding and retention of material. Teachers were encourage to continue in providing active learning and student involvement, and use active learning tactics including group projects, interactive activities, and technological integration to boost student participation. School administrators may continue to provide professional development for teachers by offering programs that focus on effective numeracy teaching practices, supporting varied learning styles, and enhancing student engagement.
