Abstract:

This study measured the level of Mathematical disposition and Programme for International Students Assessment (PISA) performance among Junior high school students of Southcom National High School, Calarian, Zamboanga City. The study examined the level of mathematical disposition, which includes confidence, flexibility, perseverance, inventiveness, metacognition, usefulness, and appreciation. It also considers the students’ PISA-related performance during the third and fourth quarters of the School Year 2024–2025.The quantitative approach was used to answer questions about the significant difference between Mathematical disposition and PISA performance when the respondents’ profile is considered such as sex, age and grade level. Finally, quantitative approach was used to determine the significant calculation on mathematics performance between Mathematical disposition and PISA performance of the Junior high school students of Southcom National High School.
