SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS AS DETERMINANT TO SUCCESS IN MATHEMATICS by Maia Margaret Aranas

Socioeconomic Status (SES)

lmmaranan — 2023-05-18 11:05:59 UTC

Socioeconomic Status (SES) pertains to an individual or family’s social and economic position in one’s society or cultural belonging.

It is the interaction between socioeconomic determinants such as income, educational attainment, nature of profession or occupation, place of residence, family background, and—in some instances, ethnic origins or religious affiliations.

Success in Mathematics

lmmaranan — 2023-05-18 11:10:27 UTC

Success in Mathematics can be defined differently; depending on diverse contexts such as theoretical foundation, level of education, technical applications, practical results, research, and others.

In general, success in Mathematics refers to comprehending the metaphors that the symbols represent, solving problems, making conjectures, communicating ideas clearly, and advancing prior knowledge in the field.

Mathematics Achievement in the Ph based on the School

Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS; Mullis et al., 2019) of the Philippines

Schools with "More Affluent" Students

18% of students in the PH
have the highest Mathematics Achievement with a score of 359

Schools with "Neither More Affluent nor More Disadvantaged" Students

32% of students in the PH
have the average Mathematics Achievement with a score of 287

Schools with "More Disadvantaged" Students

50% of students in the PH
have the lowest Mathematics Achievement with a score of 284

These findings support and underline earlier studies' findings that mathematics achievement is often greater for students from higher socioeconomic backgrounds than for students from lower socioeconomic ones.

Trends in Mathematics Achievement by Socio-economic Status

Number of books

Math achievement and the number of books in the house are positively correlated.
Thus, students who have access to more books at home tend to perform better on average in math.

Number of items & resources in the home

Although students may not always use these items for educational purposes, the existence of these items could show the family's value of education and may also reflect the home's wealth and comfort.

Items in the home (e.g. dishwasher, calculator, own room, internet connection, musical instrument) - Mathematics achievement increases as the number of items in the home increases.
Home educational resources (e.g. calculator, study desk/table, computer) - Students with more educational resources in the home had higher mean mathematics achievement than those with fewer items.

Number of schools attended by students (Mobility)

Students may switch schools for several reasons, such as when their families relocate for work or when they move in with another family member.
Those students with high mobility had lower mathematics achievement compared to those who have low mobility.

Household size

The size of a household or the number of people living there may have an impact on their finances, which could then have an impact on their socioeconomic status and, ultimately, have a bearing on their mathematics achievement.
Those students who live in households with three to five people had the highest mathematics achievement, whereas those who live in households with two, seven, or eight people display the lowest mathematics achievement.

Decile indicator of school

Deciles show the proportion of students that a school accepts from low socioeconomic communities or households, with Decile 1 schools having the largest percentage of students from such communities and Decile 10 schools having the lowest percentage.
Simply put, it shows that students who are less disadvantaged in terms of their socioeconomic status and who reside in wealthier neighborhoods have higher achievement in mathematics.

Role of SES

lmmaranan — 2023-05-18 11:39:01 UTC

SES is a significant determinant of success in mathematics, as it can influence the availability of educational resources, students' attitudes and motivation, and the availability of opportunities for skill development.
Recognizing and addressing the effects of SES on mathematics achievement is essential for creating a more equitable and inclusive education system, where all students have equal access to opportunities to excel in mathematics and other academic subjects.
To address the relationship between SES and mathematics achievement, it is crucial to implement policies and programs that aim to reduce educational inequalities and provide equitable opportunities for all students.

Influence of Socioeconomic Factors

lmmaranan — 2023-05-18 11:46:06 UTC

Access to Educational Resources

Students from higher SES families tend to have greater access to educational resources, such as textbooks, computers, and tutoring services, which can significantly contribute to educational success.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), in 2019, only 2.9% of households in the lowest income quintile had a computer, compared to 49.5% in the highest income quintile (Philippine Statistics Authority, 2020).
This disparity in access to technology can affect students' ability to engage in online learning, research, and other academic activities, which can ultimately impact their mathematics achievement.

Hello, removed the "Attitudes and Motivation towards Mathematics" bcs I believe wala na connect yung attitude sa SES

Opportunities for Skill Development

Children from higher SES families are more likely to attend summer camps, after-school programs, and tutoring, which can increase their exposure to math and promote their academic success (American Psychological Association, n.d.).
However, these opportunities are often not available and accessible to students from lower SES families, leading to a gap in mathematics achievement.

hello. wala po talaga akong sense of art. pramis di tlga yan exaggeration. pero, personally, based sa experience na rin, mas na aappreciate ko yung pretty talaga yung designs or yung may mga funny pictures (na may konek sa topic). Kase pag may funny or bet ko yung design, diyan ko binabasa yung the rest of the content ng poster.

sa atin, i think maganda if parang may dalawang students or ano man diyan na may very very short convo (parang yung mga memes) na madaling basahin. pero magegets agad yung topic na no need nila basahin ang everything. pero ayos lang din naman if serious yung poster natin bcs seryosong topic eto. kase alam ko naman ang artsy niyo hehe

pero again I repeat wala tlga akong sense of creativity so free to disregard my thoughts hehe yown langs with the colors/design wala akong masusuggest kase wala naman talaga akong preference.

naniniwala ako sa inyo. thank u<333

eloww. (jeje typings ahead HAHAHAH thought dump) maganda yung sinuggest ni lean ahuhu pwede syang gawing meme ba,,, parang editorial cartoon na style ba?? (for sure nakakita na kau nyan heuhue) ang pagkagets ko kasi dba iddraw? tas following our topic na socioeconomic status as determinant,,, na ppicture out ko ba na parang mountain of factors yung iddraw tas sa peak nyan ay isang student na may hawak na trophy or maybe since up students tayo, greenbook na may 100% score ba na nagsshine tas sa mountain na yan, meron na lumalabas ba na other students trying to reach the top pero hinahatak sila pababa or ginalunod sang mga factors. idk huhuhuhuhu naisip kolang tas kasi dba sa editorial cartoon usually walang color like sa shading talaga na eemphasize pero pwede rin naman may color,, siguro ano lang,, mga dull colors ba aside sa green for the greenbook

ala lang parang daw reality lang ba based on the survey na mas mataas talaga success if conducive environment

mountain of factors= books, reviewers, money, pwede rin bodies kunwari tutors yan or parents, mga ibat ibang gadgets

idk lang guys huhuhhuh i trust u mga draweristsssss

Bet ko sana emotionally-provoking na poster pero at the same time, hindi rin poverty porn-ish na content. bet ko man na tao/bata sana yung nasa middle na makadraw attention ang eyes and whatnot physical attributes. Try q lpag ako mga pics pics here

Establish anay ta daw story na ipaint/refelect sa aton poster

mcaranas — 2023-05-18 13:54:29 UTC

Halos wala makita sa net. Pero bet ko yung idea na dalawang bata na parang iexplain lang how their socioeconomic status could affect their success in mathematics (backed by references, refer sa ginmake natin before) pero indi din natin ipaint na like poor=failure because adversary = opportunites and more motivated (grit) to succeed pero yah demonstrate lang ma kulang guid resources to facilitate/maximize their learning pero they can succeed, even more than those who are comfortable. show lang talaga differences in the access to resources pero success can be achieved by both.

It's not you, it's your socioeconomic status/ privilege

mcferraris1 — 2023-05-23 13:35:04 UTC

random eme2 lang d naman ako creative ahahahahah d me sure pero kasi dba base na rin sa stat natin sa reference na mas mataas pa rin ang success sa math gn mga tao na may conducive environment and may enough resources so like it's a matter of privilege pa rin talaga hindi talaga natin sya maaalis

d naman sa iniinvalidate yung mga matatalino na talaga sa math pero kung isipin kasi like big factor talaga sa success in general yung availability ng resources natin kasi dba merong mga masipag pero d naman successful so ayon grabe talaga yung socioeconomic status

So like if ganito parang reminder na rin sa readers to be aware and consider ang kanilang status sa mga maaachieve nila or naachieve na nila

onti lang nilagay ko panget naman siguro if puro words nalang hehez or baka too much na

- 50% "More Disadvantaged" Students in the PH

- Educational resources, home appliances, household numbers, mobility, and social environment influence mathematical achievement

- an inclusive education system and program for equitable opportunities must be implemented
