Abstract:

This study examined the relationship between learners’ utilization of Math App Solvers and Online Grammar Checkers as correlates of Mathematics and English proficiency. This study used descriptive research with correlational technique. Survey questionnaires were self-made and went validation process through the help of experts before the pilot testing. The questionnaires passed the reliability and consistency test with an Alpha value of 0.88. The survey questionnaires were given to seventy-seven (77) randomly chosen high school students from grade 10 and Senior High School at Malalag Cogon National High School in the school year 2024-2025. Pearson's correlation coefficient was used as statistical tool to evaluate the direction and strength of the correlations. Furthermore, findings showed that the level of Math app Solvers is high as well as the level of performance in Math, indicating that there is a significant relationship between level of utilization of Math App Solvers and level of performance in Math. Findings also showed that the level of English Grammar Checker is high as well as the learner’s level of performance in English, indicating that there is a significant relationship between utilization of English Grammar Checkers and level of performance in English. These results demonstrated the potential of these digital tools as useful learning resources for raising academic achievement as they indicated a positive correlation between their use and increased student proficiency in both areas. The study advances knowledge on how digital tools might enhance student learning and improve academic results without relying too much on these tools.
