Interpolating Learners’ Study Habit in Relation to the Academic Performance in Mathematics 5

Abstract

This research assessed the study habits in relation to their academic performance of  Grade 5 Mathematics learners among the select public elementary schools in the  Division City of Naga, Cebu for School Year 2025-2026. The learners rendered 20-contact hours of Math program including instruction and  activities suited to their specific needs in relation to Interposing study habit  approach intended for academic performance on mathematics as learning aid towards strategic education. Self-administered questionnaires are to be delivered online or in  paper-pencil test format to100 respondents among the identified schools in the   City of Naga, Cebu Division. However, despite high training exposure, this must be examined alongside performance ratings to determine effectiveness. The findings reveal that learners’ study habits, particularly consistency, organization, and self- discipline, are   closely linked to their academic performance, though the degree of association varies across competencies. These variations highlight specific areas where learners may struggle due to insufficient study habits, emphasizing the need for  targeted interventions that address both behavioral and cognitive aspects of   learning. The findings provide a strong basis   for developing study-habit strategies aligned with    learners' actual needs. Learners are approaching mastery in some competencies, a significant portion still falls under “  Lack Mastery,” indicating   persistent   challenges in comprehension and application.  For some challenges can be  managed through minor adjustments, others require immediate and  strategic interventions.  Based on the conclusions reached in this research, it is highly recommended that Interpolated study habits strategies for all schools in the Division of City of Naga, Cebu be considered to elevate learners in Mathematics.
