Abstract

This research seeks to determine the academic achievement in science of students in the MSU -Maguindanao High School Department. Specifically, it aims to assess the performance of the students in science for the last five years, to determine the significant difference in the academic achievement in science between the students of the science curriculum and the Vocational Agriculture curriculum, to find out the students’ performance in System Admission Scholarship Examination in Science for the last five years, as well as the significant difference in the performance in the System Admission Scholarship Examination between the students of the science curriculum and the Vocational Agriculture curriculum, and the correlation between academic achievement in science with that of System Admission Scholarship Examination scores in Science. A descriptive - correlation method of the study was employed in this study, the respondents were 200 students whose names were drawn from the list of Senior students of MSU -Maguinadanao High School Department. One hundred student were taken from the Vocational Agriculture Curriculum, using systematic random sampling. Frequency counts, mean, percentages and standard deviation were used to describe the performance of the students in both the science GPA and SASE science test scores. Person -Product Moment coefficient of correlation was used to determine the relationship between their science GPA and SASE science test scores. Analysis of variance was used to test the significance of difference in grades or score between groups with alpha set .05 level. The study revealed that Academic achievement in Science for the last Five Years is fair (80.03). The students in the Science curriculum have a mean grade of 81.833 indicating fair performance while the students in the Vocational Agriculture Curriculum has a mean grade of 78.66 indicating poor performance. Students who have high grade in their Science subjects tend to have high scores in the SASE in science. There is a significant relationship between the science grades and the SASE scores of the students. To improve their academic performance in science subject, review, tutorial lessons, and other forms of enrichment programs should be offered. The administrator should expose Science teachers to training/seminars institute to upgrade their knowledge and skills in teaching Science subjects.
