ABSTRACT: The primary aim of this paper is to determine the association of non-cognitive factors and skills such as mathematics resilience and achievement goals to mathematics performance of the university students. The participants were 69 teacher education students enrolled in a calculus class. Descriptive-correlational research design was used in this study with survey questionnaire as primary tool for data gathering. Moreover, the researcher utilized frequency count, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s r to statistically analyze the data. The results revealed that respondents had good mathematics performance. In addition, majority of the students had high level of value and mastery-approach goals. Moreover, analysis reveals that value had significant association to mathematics performance. Mastery-approach and mathematics performance also indicate significant association.
