Abstract
As different innovations about teaching continuously emerge, the study aims to approach science teaching based on the development and personalities of students ranging from 8 to 9 years of age. A correlational study on how personality types relate to academic performance in Science was conducted in a private school in Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines among 201 third grade students at the end of the school year. Data from the reports of the Murphy-Meisgeier Type Indicator for Children (MMTIC), Achievement Posttest in Science, and their final average in the subject were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Spearman’s rank correlation and one-way analysis of variance. The results indicate that (a) most personality types of the students in this developmental age fall under the Feeling (focused on emotions) and Judging (prefer structure and organization) types, (b) about 95% revealed satisfactory to above average performance in Science as measured by their grades and achievement test scores, and (c) the variables show positive relationships with certain personality types exhibiting differences in their final average. Establishing class routines guided by the personality and behavioral profiles helps students to excel academically. Moreover, provision for hands-on experiences that cater to students of different personality types hone their creative and communication skills. With these, recommendations for varied instructional methods and classroom management techniques to tailor to the developmental needs and personality traits of the students were presented.
