ABSTRACT

—— — This study aimed to assess 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarter performance of Grade 7 students in the subject Science. Specifically, it dealt with the profile variables of the respondent, namely: age, sex. birth order, no of siblings, family structure and category of school. It determined the Academic Performance of Grade 7 across the three quarters. It also determined the level of mastery of the respondents for the most essential learning competency of Science 7. Moreover, the study whether or not significant difference between the academic performance in Science across the profile variables. Finally, it determined the significant relationship of respondents academic performance and the profile variables. It was found that there is a significant difference between the academic performance and mastery level of respondents across the following profile variables; School and Sex There are significant relationships between the mean percentage score with the variables; sex and school. Based from the salient findings, it shows that majority of the respondent- belong to 13 years of age predominantly females; most of whom are teacher III in position. Most of them have 2 siblings and 1st in birth order and belong to nuclear type of family. The grand overall weighted mean (GWOM) obtained by the respondent for their academic performance is 92 outstanding for Large School followed by mega, medium and lastly for small schools. For Over-all weighted for the mean percentage score for the three quarters 69.52 which falls to the descriptive rating of good The Grand over all weighted mean (GWOM) for the most essential competency; Medium school has the highest mastery level of 3 and Large School has the lowest mastery level of 2. Both are in Moving towards Mastery. Based on the weighted the following competencies are identified as the least mastered competencies for the three quarters in the different schools category. The study recommends that teachers shall use variety of strategies to give what is best to students. Teachers should conduct action research to test the validity of strategies for the improvement of learners. Teachers should determine the different factors affecting the performance of students to give better treatment. Positive feed backing, conduct of INSET to tackle diagnosed problem inside the campus. Science teachers shall be given special trainings every 6 months to update their knowledge and strategies to deliver quality education.School heads shall evaluate the situation of teachers to lessen the stress upon working on a project as such utilization of all resources. This study aimed to evaluate Grade 7 students’ performance in the first, second, and third quarters of the Science course. It specifically addressed the respondent’s profile characteristics, including age and sex. The number of siblings, the household structure, and the school type. It determined the Grade 7 student’s overall academic performance across the three quarters. Additionally, the study assessed whether there was a statistically significant difference in the respondents’ degree of mastery of the most crucial learning skill in science, which is competency number 7. Finally, research established a substantial correlation between the academic standing of the respondents and the profile characteristics. It has been found that there is a substantial difference in respondents’ academic performance and mastery level across the following profile variables: sex and school. There are also significant associations between the mean percentage score and these variables. Keywords — Academic Performance, level of mastery
