Item Higher order thinking skills and academic performance of students in mathematics(2022-08) De Olon, Jufelia Paduyao.The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the higher order thinking skills (HOTS) and the academic performance in mathematics of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) students. Specifically, it aimed to answer the following problem: 1. What is the level of higher order thinking skills of STEM students along: a. analyzing, b. evaluating, and c. creating? 2. What is the level of academic performance in mathematics of STEM students? 3. What are the relationships between the levels of HOTS along its thew components and the academic personnel in mathematics of STEM students? Hypothesis: there are direct moderate relationships between levels of HOTS along its three components and the academic performance in mathematics of STEM students. This study used descriptive-correlational design to examine the relationship between HOTS along its three components and the academic performance in mathematics of STEM students. For the study’s questions, different statistical approaches were utilized as follows: mean for determining the levels of HOTS and academic performance and Pearson’s Correlational Coefficient for examining the relationships between the levels of HOTS along its three components and the academic performance. The respondents were 71 STEM students at the senior high school level of Benguet National High School.
