THE INFLUENCE OF STUDENT MOTIVATION AND CLASSROOM SETTING ON STUDENTS' ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN MATHEMATICS

Education Research

This study aimed to investigate the influence of student motivation and classroom setting on students’ academic performance in mathematics at Sta. Fe National High School. In the research that was carried out, a quantitative research approach was adopted, and the primary tool that was utilized for the purpose of data collection was a survey questionnaire. For the purpose of the study, there were 105 students who were in grades 7 and 8 who participated. For the goal of determining the level of academic accomplishment that they have attained, the findings of their summative examination in mathematics that was standardized were collected. Furthermore, the survey questionnaire contained inquiries involving the students' motivations, both internal and external, in addition to inquiries concerning their physical and social environments for learning. In order to examine the data that was obtained, statistical procedures such as the mean and the Pearson r correlation were utilized. Both the level of motivation that students have and the environment that they are in in the classroom have a substantial impact on the level of academic achievement that they achieve in mathematics, according to the research. Research has shown that there is a favorable association between the academic accomplishment of students and the level of interest they have in their subject matter, as well as the quality of the setting in which they are learning. Based on the findings of the study, it is recommended that educators continue to work toward cultivating student excitement and building a positive culture inside the classroom.
