CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction

Having good reasoning skills eventually gives every individual a wise mind to decide
and solve problems that we encounter in our everyday life, moreover, this skill is important in
both personal and professional lives. In certain terms, students are more involved in applying
those skills in reality and most especially in answering examinations with the analytical
questions that gives them time to think the effective way to pass a given situation.

Aside from that, answering analytical type of test enhances the reasoning skills of
learners but behalf of this, not of them enable to perform it well just because of the factors
affecting on how to perform in class.

Overall, there is clear evidence that attitudes and motivation are integrally linked to
learning and achievement. Those matter are considered the main factors affecting students in
analyzing, solving problems and answering analytical examination (Newmann, 1992).

Indeed, attitudes greatly affect students performance in class. Some of the students
can't manage their attitude especially behaviour and they must do other things instead of
listening so that, most of them leaving classroom with nothing.

Both attitudes, willingness and motivation are the most potent factors that relates to
achievement and culminates to poor achievement exams so that, those factors play a great
role in how student's perform academically.

Once a students did not have enough motivation or willingness in learning

mathematics and have bad behaviour in class, it result to negative outcome so that, it is
important to consider as some factors or student's necessity in having good reasoning skills
and problem solving.

Background of the Study

In Education, attitude is one of the important elements which determine student's

success. Student's attitude towards the course will add to their success and some of the
students suffer from poor problem-solving skills so that, it is necessary to master solving
skills as well as reasoning skills for dealing competently with our everyday life.

Student engagement in learning is not only an end in itself but it is also a means to
end of student's achieving academic outcomes. This is important because authentic
engagement may lead to higher academic achievement throughout students' life (Saeed S. &
Zyngier D., 2012).

Otherwise, motivation plays an important role in learning because it greatly explains

academic performance. Students are supposedly capable of investigating, modifying, and
sustaining information. Furthermore, motivational beliefs are very essential to the academic
achievement of students because they help to determine the extent to which students will
consider, value, put in effort, and show interest in the task. (Gasco, et al., 2003).

While, the nature link between attitudes and learning has been described in their
theory of personal action which states that attitudes influence intentions in turn have an effect
in learning (Newmann, 1992).

Indeed, research over many years has established that attitude and motivation play a
significant role in learning mathematics.

Moreover, this study designed to cognize the student's performance in answering

analytical type of test under academic track of Accountancy and Business Management
Grade 12 Students in Senior High School within Nasugbu East Central School. The
researchers noticed that this issue presented a set of factors that may affect on how they imply
their reasoning skills not just only in examination but also in real life.

In making this study, the researchers learned that not only the attitudes and
preferences of ABM 12 Students regarding the factors affect in answering analytical test but
also the importance of having good reasoning skills on their academic performance.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents the review of conceptual and related literature which has
bearing on the present study. This topics are arranged in logical sequence as called from
books electronic source and other references.

Conceptual Literature

Brief History of Senior High School within Nasugu East Central School. As
prescribed in the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013, last June 2016, Senior High
Schools were launched nationwide, it is a new level of grade 11 and 12 in December 2014.
The ADB approved the SHSSP, a $300 million result based lending (RBL) program to
support the establishment and implementation of SHS during 2014-2019 the government's K
to 12 education reform program . The SHSSP supports for results areas with loan
disbursement tired to the achievement of six disbursement -linked indicates (DLs). Among
the results areas supported by the SHSSP are the establishment of a voucher program for
graduates and assessing the feasibility of using infrastructure public-private partnerships
(PPPs) for the delivery of some SHS infrastructure.

In connection with this, the municipal of Nasugbu joined ad offered various schools.
One of these is Nasugbu East Central School I. It was May 24, 2016 when Vic mar Inc.
started the construction of Nasugbu Senior High School I. The building was16DB0117
construction of Nasugbu East Central School, Nasugbu, Batangas, it cost Php 7 981 642.73.
But Vic mar Inc. failed to finish the building on their target date but it didn't stop the students
to pursuing their dreams.

It was late October when the name of the school been corrected from Nasugbu East
Senior High School I to Nasugbu Senior High School I. But it doesn't end there, it was late
March 2017 when the faculty of the school announced that the school name is Senior High
School within Nasugbu East Central School.
SHS within Nasugbu East Central School

It is a school that has created its name in the business, it is a home and it will continue
to shine as years go by.

Attitudes towards Mathematics Achievement. In education, one of the important to be

considered in determining student's success is attitude (Effandi & Normah, 2009). Indeed,
attitudes affect the student's interaction with their friends, families, school and lessons.
Therefore, student's attitude towards the course will add to their success (Cetingoz & Ozkal,
2009).

Students' attitudes towards mathematics are very much related to their attitude
towards problem solving in general. In fact, negative attitudes need to be overcome so that,
students will not suffer from poor problem solving skills. It is necessary to master problem
solving skills as essential for dealing competently with r daily life (Effandi & Normah, 2009).

Attitudes reflect on how they answer problem solving activities and analytical
examinations. So, once a students have a problem solving difficulties, they also have poor
skills to pass a situation in real life.

On the other hand, students' commitment in mathematics play a key role in the
obtainment of math skills and knowledge. Students' commitment in mathematics refers to
student's motivation to learn math, their confidence in their own ability to succeed in math
and their emotional feelings about mathematics (Education Matters, 2008).

Therefore, confidence towards answering problem solving and analytical

examinations believed to play a key role in mathematics achievement and might to be one of
the factors affect the student's academic performance.
So, the individuals successfully perform a given task considered a reliable reason of
whether the task is attempt or not while the amount of effort will expand and their level of
perseverance in the facing different struggles (Andrew, et. al., 2009).

In general, attitude, confidence and motivation are considered the main factors
affecting students' performance in problem solving and answering analytical examinations.
SHS within Nasugbu East Central School

Student's needed to improve their skills, manage their attitude and motivating oneselves to
master problem solving so, they actually have a wise mind to perform a given task and solve
problems in real life.

Related Literature

A study was set up in which participants was related in Mathematics course setting so
that the experiment would gather data on the factors affecting the student's academic
performance in answering analytical type of test on the particular school experience. In the
study, participant showed the impact of attitude as well as willingness and motivation in
student's achievement towards Mathematics subject. Both attitude and motivation are the
common recipe in academic success. Aside from that, participants found out that managing
attitude, willingness and motivating yourself are the key component to succeed in math as
well as enhanced reasoning skills and analytical thinking. The claim is supported that
students must have positive attitude towards problem solving if they are to succeed
(O’Connell, 2000). Indeed, solving problems requires patience, persistence, perseverance and
willingness to accept risks. This concurs with claims that students with positive attitude
towards mathematics will generally excel at it (Papanastasiou, 2000).

On the other hand, a study conducted by Faridah (2004), found that students with high
level of perseverance will not stop trying until they manage to get the answer and they will
continue to work on a problem until they succeed in solving. This study reported that most
students immediately make an attempt to work out the problem without first planning any
strategies to do so which resulted only moderate number of students are able to solve the
mathematical questions. This study indicates that the students have lack of patience to
carefully read and understand the questions given. Therefore, this findings indicate that
patience towards problem solving is essential to achieve good results in [Link]
addition, students’ success in achieving their goals encourage them to develop positive
attitudes towards mathematics and other problem solving activities. Positive attitudes are
assumed to have significant relationship with students’ achievement.

Both researchers' findings agree that having positive attitude, confidence and
motivation in learning mathematics, enhancing reasoning skills and problems solving are
essential to ensure excellent achievement.

CHAPTER IV
PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter presents the presentation, analysis and interpretation of data.

1. The Reasons Behind the Usage of Analytical Test.

Analytical Test as Key to Progressive Learners

Students get to see how their efforts and actions affect everyday life as well as the
world around them. They are encouraged to ask questions and tap into their creativity to find
the most possible solutions to problems. Moreover, when they reach conclusions, they may
be presented with follow-up questions about their methods to promote an even deeper
exploration. This kind of critical analysis continues throughout the entire process including
research conduction, finding data, and testing out various approaches.

Students are required to truly understand the concepts being introduced to them. We
all know that life is unpredictable, and challenges often demand analytical thinking skills and
coming up with more than one approach. Students' achievement reflect their attitude they
have while performing class session. In some terms, what students want and what motivates
students in the classroom, suggesting that an important factor is whether students care about
or think the task is important in some way. so that students' interest or willingness to learn
towards mathematics greatly affect their performance.

Encourage students to build confidence and learn to approach challenges and

problems in an effective manner is the main objective of the new curriculum which is K to
12. Our tutoring, enrichment, and test preparation programs are meant to complement lessons
learned in the traditional classroom so that a child builds a well-rounded skill set that
improves educational performance.
This offers an incredible opportunity to students who are effective present their
critical thinking skills. In addition, it helps our country compete on a broader, global level. As
SHS within Nasugbu East Central School

innovation and progress are a must in a developed world, enhancing reasoning skills and
analytical thinking are greatly needed in mathematics learning and achievement.

Analytical type of test is very essential to take because it is the appropriate way to
show the effectiveness of learning mathematics and answering difficult situation given in
problem solving.

2. Impact of attitude as well as motivation in enhancing reasoning skills.

Students’ interest in, enjoyment and excitement about what they are learning is one of
the most important factors in education. Indeed, when students’ motivation levels are
increased, they are more likely to find academic tasks meaningful.

Motivation is perceived as a necessary and an essential component for student

engagement in learning. According to some studies, attitudes greatly impact the student's
interest, enjoyment, motivation to learn, confidence, anxiety, and task value that has been
acknowledged in research as significant to success in learning so attitudes, motivation and
willingness of students affects their performance in answering analytical test as well as
reasoning skills and problem solving.

Furthermore, students take pride not simply in earning the formal indicators of
success (grades for example), but in understanding the material and incorporating or
internalizing it in their lives. Once a student have great reasoning skills, they also simply
resolve the problem they encounter in real life or pass a given situation.

The nature of the link between attitudes and learning has been described by in their
‘theory of personal action’ which states that attitudes influence intentions, which in turn
influence behavior. Behavior then leads to personal experiences which in turn have an effect
on attitudes. Indeed, research over many years has established that attitudes play a significant
role in learning Mathematics.

Further, the study found that managing attitude, willingness and students' motivation
greatly help them to enhance their reasoning skills and answering analytical test. So,
therefore, there is clear evidence to show that attitudes are integrally linked to learning and
achievement, including mathematics learning and achievement.

3. Reasoning Skills and Mathematics Relation

What is Reasoning Skills?

Reasoning Skills is the process of thinking about something in a logical way in order
to form a conclusion or judgement (Merriam Webster Dictionary). It is also the ability of the
mind to think and understand things in a logical way.

Reasoning is associated with thinking, cognition and intellect.

What about Mathematics?

Mathematics developed from counting, calculation, ,measurement and the systematic

study. And usually mathematics is the most important part of life as well as the inheritant
part.

Generally, all students will developed reasoning ability and will become self-reliance
and finally a mathematical thinkers.

For more specifically set of statement,

a. Mathematical reasoning is the critical skill that enables a student to make use of all
other mathematical skills. With the development of mathematical reasoning, student's
recognize that mathematics make sense and can be understood.

b. And having this kind of skills, they learn how to evaluate situations, select problem
solving strategies, draw logical conclusion, develop and describe solution and recognize how
those situations can be applied.

Those give data appreciate the pervasive use and power of reasoning as part of
mathematics.
SHS within Nasugbu East Central School

4. Effects of Analytical Test for the Performance as well as Attitude and Motivation

Analytical Test measure the student's critical skills while performing in class.
Student's achievement may be influenced by attitude towards problem solving

A students need to think and make decisions using appropriate strategies to solve
mathematic problems. In general, student's success in achieving their goals encourage them
to developed positive attitude towards mathematics and other problem solving activities.

On the other hand, attitude can be seen as more or less positive. A positive attitude
towards Mathematics reflects a positive emotional disposition in relation to the subject and in
a similar way, a negative attitude towards mathematics relates to a negative emotional
disposition.

Negative attitudes are the results of frequent and repeated failures or problems when
dealing with mathematical tasks and these negative attitudes may become relatively
permanent .

These are a number of factors which can explain why attitudes towards mathematics
become more negative with the school grade such as the pressure to perform well, demanding
tasks , uninteresting lessons and less than positive attitudes on the part of teachers.

In general .mathematical skill is essential for technical students and learning to solve
problems is a primary objective in learning mathematics as problems are an inevitable fact of
life.

[Link] of Attitudes towards the student's commitment in Mathematics

Gender, Attitude to Mathematics , Cognitive style and achievements in mathematics

were found that those tree contributes to statistically significant difference in achievement in
Mathematics .

Using ILS (Integrated Learning System ), Thomas (2006) conducted a study to

determine the Attitude towards Mathematics and achievement by combining co-operative
learning strategies instruction.

In the results on his study , revealed that students using on ILS for Mathematics
instruction performed better on standardized tests and were more positive towards math and
they worked in co-operative group that when worked on the same individually.

Consequently , those studies evaluate or state that there's a huge impact of attitudes
towards the students commitment in Mathematics , probably , the good attitude of the learns
have the strong commitment in Mathematics he/she have.
