Abstract
Abstract: An Examination of Written Work and Performance Task in General Mathematics and Precalculus of Filipino STEM Learners. Objectives: This study examined the correlation between written work (WW) and performance task (PT) scores in general mathematics and precalculus of Filipino STEM learners at one public senior high school in the provincial capital of Leyte, Philippines, and compared the WW and PT scores of male and female learners. Methods: The quantitative approach using correlational and comparative designs was used to analyze the data obtained from the WW and PT scores of the 119 STEM learners (58 males and 61 females). Findings: Findings revealed a moderately positive and highly significant correlation between WW and PT scores of STEM learners. The difference in the WW and PT scores between male and female groups likewise displayed statistical significance, with the female group performing higher in WW and PT than their male counterparts. Conclusion: The development of state-of-the-art teaching strategies and practices can be utilized as input geared towards improving mathematics teaching and Filipino STEM learners mathematics performance.
Keywords: Filipino STEM learners, general mathematics, performance tasks, precalculus, written work.
Abstrak: Ujian Tertulis dan Unjuk Kerja dalam Matematika Umum dan Prakalkulus bagi Pelajar STEM Filipina. Tujuan: Studi ini menguji korelasi antara skor karya tulis (WW) dan tugas kinerja (PT) dalam matematika umum dan prakalkulus pelajar STEM Filipina di salah satu sekolah menengah atas negeri di ibu kota provinsi Leyte, Filipina, dan membandingkan WW dan PT jumlah siswa laki-laki dan perempuan. Metode: Pendekatan kuantitatif menggunakan desain korelasional dan komparatif digunakan untuk menganalisis data yang diperoleh dari skor WW dan PT dari 119 pelajar STEM (58 laki-laki dan 61 perempuan). Temuan: Temuan mengungkapkan korelasi yang cukup positif dan sangat signifikan antara skor WW dan PT pelajar STEM. Perbedaan skor WW dan PT antara kelompok laki-laki dan perempuan juga menunjukkan signifikansi statistik, dengan kelompok perempuan berkinerja lebih tinggi di WW dan PT daripada rekan laki-laki mereka. Kesimpulan: Pengembangan strategi dan praktik pengajaran mutakhir dapat digunakan sebagai masukan yang diarahkan untuk meningkatkan pengajaran matematika dan kinerja matematika pelajar STEM Filipina.
Kata kunci: pelajar STEM Filipina, matematika umum, prakalkulus, tes unjuk kerja, ujian tertulis.
