ABSTRACT

—The study aimed to determine the learning attitude as predictor in the academic performance of Grade V pupils in Science. Utilizing the descriptive-correlational research design for an in-depth analysis of the study, the researcher used the Attitude Scale Test based on H.H. Remmers and Ella B. Silanco (2005) and Quarter 3 grades of the pupils in Science. Simple Percentage, Weighted Mean and Pearson r were the statistical tools used. The data revealed that the learning attitude of the Grade V pupils in Science in terms of learning environment, selfconcept, practical work, importance and attitude towards Science is good or seldom perceived while all of the pupils were able to achieve a passing grade in Science. Moreover, this study shows a significant relationship between learning attitude and performance of the Grade V pupils in Science. Thus, with further stimulation, the academic performance may increase if the learning attitude is appropriately practiced.
