Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the Academic Achievement of Grade 11 Students in General
Mathematics in the Public High Schools ofApayao during the school year 2016-2017.
32 of the 54 students in the GAS track senior high school of School A; 32 students in the GAS track
senior high school of School B; and 32 ofthe 39 students in the GAS track senior high school of School
C were included as the respondents ofthe study.
The 60-item teacher made test was used both in the pretest and posttest. An unstructured questionnaire
which collected data on the beliefs ofteachers’ and students about assessment and its purposes was used.
The descriptive research design was employed in order to describe, record, analyze and interpret the
academic achievement of Grade 11 students in General Mathematics. A one-group pre-test and post-test
design was used in this study to measure progress ofstudent during the three-week study duration.
Box-plots were used to present graphically the academic performance ofthe Grade 11 students in General
Mathematics.
The frequency scores ofthe Grade 11 students improved after the interventions were given by the teachers.
The result of the study confirmed the need to really implement the policy guidelines on classroom
assessment for the K-12 Basic Education Program stipulated in Dep-Ed order No. 8, series of 2015.
Teachers are encouraged to attend seminars and trainings on teaching strategies and interventions to
improve their teaching methods.
For future research, it is recommended that similar investigations be conducted in order to determine the
validity ofthe findings through a comparative study in the different grade 11 high schools
