Abstract

Mathematics achievement reflects a web of social, environmental, and motivational forces. This study examined how parental involvement, peer influence, and school support relate to mathematics interest and academic performance among Philippine Science High School (PSHS)–Western Visayas Campus scholars. Using a quantitative descriptive–correlational design, 251 students were selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected through Google Forms using the 30-item mathematics interest inventory (MII) (4-point Likert; expert-validated; α=0.899), the 45-item educational ecosystem inventory (EEI) measuring family, peer, and school support (4-point Likert; expert-validated; α=0.910), and official mathematics grades as the achievement indicator. Descriptive statistics and correlation analyses were computed as prerequisites, then relationships were tested through path analysis in a structural equation modeling (SEM) framework, including estimation of direct, indirect, and mediated effects. Results indicated that parental involvement, peer influence, and school support significantly strengthened mathematics interest and were associated with higher mathematics achievement, with the final SEM demonstrating satisfactory model fit. Mathematics interest emerged as a significant mediator, particularly in the link between school support and performance, underscoring interest as a motivational conduit between context and outcomes. Recommendations include strengthening home–school partnerships, institutionalizing peer mentoring, and expanding interest-based pedagogies and opportunities, with continued program evaluation to sustain high performance in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM)-focused schools.

Abstract

Persistent learning gaps and the scarcity of culturally anchored resources continue to challenge Grade 7 mathematics instruction in rural public schools in the Philippines, particularly under the MATATAG curriculum. This study developed and evaluated a folktale-based instructional material that integrates local Panay folktales with target Grade 7 competencies in measurement and geometry and number and algebra to support meaningful, context-rich learning. Using a Type I developmental research design guided by analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation (ADDIE) model and anchored on social constructivism and attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction (ARCS) motivational framework, the material was produced through competency mapping, story-task scripting, iterative expert review, and pilot implementation. Participants included 25 Grade 7 mathematics teachers who identified suitable competencies, 10 content and pedagogy experts who validated the material, and 66 Grade 7 learners from four public secondary schools who evaluated usability and learning support. Acceptability was measured using adapted expert and learner evaluation forms with a 5-point scale and summarized using descriptive statistics. Results indicated an overall rating of highly acceptable. Format and design received the highest evaluation, followed by organization and presentation and learning objectives; content and assessment were rated acceptable, highlighting specific areas for refinement. These findings suggest that embedding mathematical concepts in culturally familiar narratives can improve perceived clarity, engagement, and task coherence while maintaining alignment with curriculum standards. The study contributes a replicable, culturally responsive development process and a ready-to-adapt set of story-based math tasks for teachers in similar contexts. Future work may examine learning gains through quasi-experimental implementation and explore digital adaptations to broaden access and interactivity.
