Abstract

The main objective of this study was to determine the learning styles and the performances of the Junior High School students in Mathematics from Cebu Province Division under the New Normal during the first quarter of the S.Y. 2020 – 2021 as the basis for Adaptive Learning Engagement Plans. This study employed a quantitative and qualitative research design which utilized a descriptive method using the response of the respondents in a self-made survey questionnaire and an adapted learning preference questionnaire as well as the scores obtained by the respondents from the exam in their Mathematics’ modules. The respondents were the junior high school students in each school through simple random sampling in each grade level. The findings of the study showed that the respondents had an age range appropriate for each grade level. The respondents have moderately good performance in mathematics in the previous school year (2019- 2020). As to learning style, forty-eight percent of the respondents were categorized as visual and the rest were auditory and haptic. Most of the respondents’ scores are average. Results showed that there is a significant correlation between the respondents’ gender, previous grade in mathematics, frequency of studying the lesson, and their learning preference which means they need to be given more attention and design more activities that suits their preference in learning under the new normal. It is hereby recommended that the adaptive learning engagement plans be implemented.
