ABSTRACT: This research investigated the differences on students’ attributes in
mathematics such as their attitudes, self-efficacy, learning environment, and
math performance based on their learning sessions. The descriptive comparative
research design was employed using a three-set survey questionnaire to assess
the attitudes, self-efficacy, and learning environment while the average of the
students’ First and Second Quarter grades in Math was used to assess their academic
performance. There were 204 respondents who were selected using stratified
random sampling with their learning session as the stratum. Data were treated
using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results revealed that the students
had positive attitudes towards Math, had moderately positive self-efficacy and
considered learning environment as influential to their learning while they had
fair math performance. When grouped by their learning sessions, findings showed
no significant difference on the students’ attitudes, self-efficacy, and
learning environment but there is a significant difference on their math
performance. Hence, school administrators and teachers are encouraged to design
programs that would minimize the gap of student’s math performance based on
their learning sessions.
