“…In this study students who learned with the help of graphic organizer are observed to acquire high positive attitude towards graphs than those taught with conventional strategy. Therefore the finding of the study confirmed that of Irvine (2020) and Tella (2013) who observed that graphic organizer have the capability of enhancing development of positive attitude towards mathematics.…”

The poor attitude of students towards mathematics in Nigeria has constituted a threat to national development, considering the important of mathematics in all facet of life. This study determines the effect of computer-based software on student’s attitude towards mathematics-graph, using three groups taught with computer-based software, graphic organizers and conventional strategy (discussion method). Gender and computer self-efficacy were used as moderating variables to determine the existence gender disparity in attitude towards mathematics when computer-based software was used and to establish the effect of computer self-efficacy on students’ attitude towards mathematics when taught with computer-based software. The result shows that computer-based software was more effective in enhancing attitude towards graphs than graphic organizer and conventional strategy. There was also significant interaction effect of treatment and computer self-efficacy; treatment and gender; treatment, computer self-efficacy and gender on attitude towards graphs. computer-based software was found to significantly improve students’ attitude towards graphs than the conventional strategy. Therefore, computer-based software for use in teaching Mathematics in secondary schools in Nigeria. To this effect mathematics teachers should be trained on the design, development and use of computer assisted instruction package in teaching.

“…It can be noted that learners attend class with full stomachs or complete meals, which is good as Weaver et al ( 2020) have proven the association of food insecurity with learners' academic performance. However, as learners have a 2.78 mean and interpreted as a moderate extent, they are moderately energetic during Math class, which can be attributed to their being sleepy (Irvine, 2020). In the study of Sygaco (2021), it was found that there is no correlation between sleep and academic performance.…”

Learners transitioned from distance learning (MDL) to in-person classes. Subsequently, their well-being and adjustment were assessed. This study aims to explore the relationship between learners' well-being and adjustment more comprehensively. Employing a correlational quantitative research design, it utilized a researcher-developed questionnaire. Prior consent for questionnaire administration was obtained from the school principal, parents, and learners. Statistical analyses involved mean, standard deviation, and chi-square tests. Results indicate that learners' well-being across physical, affective, cognitive, economic, and social domains ranged from moderate. Emotional adjustment (EA) was found to be slight, while social adjustment (SA) and academic adjustment (AA) were moderate. Significant correlations were observed between physical well-being (PW) and EA, PW, and SA, affective well-being (AW) and EA, AW and AA, cognitive well-being (CW) and EA, CW, and SA, economic well-being (EW) and EA, and EW and SA. Based on these findings, the implementation of Project SWAM is recommended.

“…Additionally, Wang et al (2021) underscore the critical role of maintaining learning engagement throughout adolescence for long-term academic success, highlighting the urgency of investigating factors influencing student engagement in mathematics within this demographic. The recommendation by Irvine (2020) to explore attitudes and engagement in mathematics across different contexts further supports the need for a focused study tailored to the unique characteristics of college students in Davao City, Philippines. Thus, this proposed study aims to fill this research gap by examining the engagement of college students in Mathematics and the Modern World as influenced by their instructors' teaching performance and critical thinking skills.…”

The study aimed to investigate the combined influence of perceived teaching performance and critical thinking skills on engagement in mathematics among college students in Mathematics in the Modern World. The quantitative non-experimental research approach was employed utilizing a predictive-correlation approach. The research conducted was responded to by 101 college students who were officially enrolled in Mathematics in the Modern World general education course in one of the private Catholic higher educational institutions in Davao City. The research used the adapted, modified, pilot-tested and validated tool to gauge the level of the perceived teaching performance of instructors and critical thinking skills of college students on their level of engagement with mathematics. The data were analyzed using the mean, Pearson (r), and the Multiple Regression Analysis. As a result, significant correlations were found between the perceived teaching performance and engagement of students in mathematics, and also between critical thinking skills and engagement of students in mathematics. Further, the regression analysis unveiled the combined influence of the perceived teaching performance and critical thinking skills on student engagement in mathematics.
