THE IMPACT OF PEER MENTORING ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN PRE-CALCULUS OF SELECTED SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS OF PASIG CATHOLIC COLLEGE SY 2018-2019 BASIS FOR MENTORING PROGRAM

= Abstract = According to Denisial (2015), students have a hard time in understanding the concept of Mathematics and memorizing formulas. As stated in Collins Dictionary Pre-Calculus is a course of mathematics in that is intended to prepare students for the study of calculus, a branch of Mathematics. In Pasig Catholic College, the subject Pre-Calculus is part of the curriculum of Senior High School, particularly the STEM strand. One way to address this problem is to implement study habits, specifically individual learning and peer mentoring. Hence, the researchers aim to determine the impact of peer mentoring on the academic performance in Pre-Calculus of selected senior high school students of Pasig Catholic College S.Y. 2018-2019.

The researchers used Purposive Sampling as their sampling technique. The participants of this study are the students of Grade 12 students, the Archdiocese of Cebu and Archdiocese of Lipa. The researchers used the experimental method to determine if there is a significant difference between individual learning and peer mentoring. Assessments and a survey were the instruments used in gathering data.

Based on the results, peer mentoring and individual learning has a significant difference, but the difference is negative. The findings of the study imply that the result of individual learning is greater than the result of peer mentoring.

The researchers conclude that having a right schedule for each subject, choosing the right mentors and advising the teacher to help for supervision should be observed.

The researchers gave chose this recommendation because of the constraints we had throughout the time allotted to us.
