Abstract


This study sought to determine if the Mathematics readiness of the Grade 12 Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) students of SKSU-LHS during the academic year 2020-2021 has directly affected their academic attainments within the STEM strand amid the online learning modality. In doing so, this study employed a descriptive-correlational quantitative research design because conclusions only drove the results without any inference to conform to the main intent of this research. The study revealed no significant association between one’s readiness in Mathematics and their academic performance as Grade 12 STEM students amid the online learning modality in online learning modality. With this in mind, in an online learning setup, although Mathematics has a huge part within the STEM strand, students who are not mathematically inclined can still establish a decent academic standing and, at most, even excel.
