Abstract
Mathematics is considered one of the most important subjects around the world and plays a crucial role in the advancement of Science and Technology. This study aims to determine the factors affecting students’ Mathematics academic performance in the Tamagawa Academy - International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. The study employed the descriptive survey in gathering the quantitative data and correlational method of research to determine the factors affecting students’ Mathematics academic performance. Fifty-two students participated in this study consisting of 25 boys and 27 girls. A purposive sampling technique was used in selecting the participants. A research-made questionnaire was used to collect data from the students; the questionnaire was made with the 5-point Likert scale of measurements. The instrument reliability was checked by using Cronbach’s Alpha which shows a 0.90 coefficient value. The Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used to check the relationship between independent variables (attitudes toward mathematics, study habits, achievement motivation, and communication) on the dependent variable (academic performance). The results revealed that there is a positive correlation between the dependent variable and independent variables in the range of 0.395, 0.326, 0.446, and 0.459 respectively with the significant level at 0.05. The study suggests intervention activities that will gain interest among students such as academic support and the Math Day program to create an environment of camaraderie among students. Leadership teams and teachers should bear in mind that factors like attitudes toward mathematics, study habits, achievement motivation, and communication have significant importance on students’ academic performance.
