Inferences of Achievement: Effects on Achievement in Physical Science

The study participants were grade 11 students of Penaranda National High School, Division of Nueva Ecija, during the second half of the school year 2023-2024. The research focused on student inferences of achievement in science along with self-reliance, capability, challenges, accountability, and teacher’s dynamism. The following hypotheses were tested: Students across gender and strand do not differ in their inferences of achievements their achievement in science” and “No significant relationship exists between students’ achievement and their inferences of achievement in science.” The findings were that students’ achievement in science ranged from 75-95, with a mean of 86.69. Most students have very high inferences of achievement on the measure of challenges, along with self-reliance, capability, accountability, and teacher dynamism. Male and female students do not differ in their inferences of achievement in their achievement in science; however, students across strands differ in their inferences of achievement in their achievement. Capability was the only measure observed to have a significant relationship with their performance in science.
