The study determined the student- related factors perceived to affect the academic performance
of students in General Mathematics at the Grade 11 level at Claveria School of Arts and Trades.
The study employed a descriptive-correlational approach, utilizing questionnaires as the primary
data collection method. The participants in this study comprised 171 randomly selected Grade 11
students enrolled during the school year 2023-2024 in Claveria School of Arts and Trades. The
gathered data were coded, tabulated, and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS). Mean and percentage distributions were utilized to identify the student-related
factors perceived to influence their performance in General Mathematics. Data interpretation was
conducted using the five-point Likert scale, respectively. The correlation between student-related
factors and performance in General Mathematics were tested by Multiple linear regression.
The Grade 11 students in Claveria School of Arts and Trades exhibit a "very Satisfactory"
performance, as evaluated through the Grading Sheet. Specifically, attitude towards General
Mathematics, and self - efficacy as perceived by the student-respondents is 'agreeable' or
'favorable.' Study habits as perceived by the respondents are ‘often’ towards the academic
performance of Grade 11 students. The exploration of relationships between perceived student
related factors and performance highlights significant connections between attitude and
performance, as well as self-efficacy and performance. However, the absence of a statistically
significant relationship with study habits prompts further investigation in this area.
