چکیده

This research assessed the factors and problems affecting the mathematics achievement of the Grade 11 students at the two public high schools in the City of Naga, Cebu, Philippines, during the school year 2024-2025 using a descriptive-correlational research design. There were 104 randomly selected students who participated in the study and were asked to answer the survey questionnaires measuring the factors affecting their mathematics achievement and the problems that hinder their mathematics learning while their mathematics achievement was measured using a 40-item achievement test. Data were analyzed using frequency count, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s r. Results indicated that the respondents were moderately affected by the student-related, home-related, and teacher-related factors. They also sometimes experienced problems such as emotional difficulties, school adjustment issues, and overextended schedules/workloads, which hindered their mathematical understanding. Most of the respondents had satisfactory mathematics achievement. Moreover, the study found a significant relationship between the identified factors and the respondents’ mathematics achievement. Similarly, the experienced problems were also significantly related to their mathematics achievement. The research concludes that these prevalent factors and problems directly influence the respondents' academic achievement in mathematics. Thus, the study recommends the immediate utilization of the strategic intervention plan developed from these findings.
