CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Grades are very essential. It is the measurement of a students understanding on the material.
Educators use grades primarily for administrative purposes, to give students feedback about their
progress and achievement, to provide guidance to students about future course work, to provide
guidance to the teachers for instructional planning and to motivate students. As a study of patterns,
both practical and abstract, involves analytical thought, logical reasoning, problem solving skills,
and precise communication. Because of its power and versatility, Mathematics has often been
called the "Queen of the Sciences." There is no field of scientific inquiry that does not express itself
through the language of mathematics. Mathematics is considered by many people, institutions, and
employers of labour, among others, as very important. Mathematics is considered indispensable
because it has substantial use in all human activities including school subjects such as in
Introductory technology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics including Agricultural science.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Mathematics is one of the most hated subject of all students. Many students got the fail
grades in mathematics and lost their trust to themselves to try because of the embarrassing moment.
That’s why many students had a tutor to focus and to understand clearly the lesson. It's one-of-a-
kind. The relevance of the subject explains why it is prioritized as a school subject. In reality, the
International Association for Evaluation of Education Achievement (IEA) (2004) has also
associated the learning of mathematics with basic preparation for adult life.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This research talks about the Grades of the students in Mathematics of Grade 10
Pope St. Leo the Great in Liceo de San Pablo for the year of 2021-2022. secondary
school students perform poorly in mathematics but also indicated that the process errors
which students commit while solving mathematicsproblems have contributed to students
poor performance in mathematics.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Researchers can carry out research on more effective teaching methods,

instructional materials or strategies that can be applied in teaching to address students’
areas of weaknesses in junior secondary school mathematics. Emphasis should be laid on
those skills that students commit more errors than other skills (i.e. Errors that occur more
frequent than others).

Educational administrators can organise seminars, workshops, symposium, etc for

junior secondary school mathematics teachers based on mathematical concepts or skills
that students exhibit difficulties or based on identified process errors students committed
in solving mathematical

problems. These seminars, workshops, etc for teachers is very important because those
concepts/ skills that students exhibit weaknesses implies that their teachers are
handicapped in teaching those aspects well.
