Leslie Ann B. Atis
Mae Ann B. Balbalosa
A correlational research presented to the faculty of Department of Social Sciences and Humanities (DSSH), College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. In partial fulfillment of the requirements in Methods of Research (PSYC95) with the degree Bachelor of Science in Psychology. Prepared under the supervision of Mrs. Alma Fatima Reyes-Pagkalinawan.
INTRODUCTION
The progress of every nation is frequently barometed by the amount and scope of the socio-cultural, socio-economic and political improvement that a brought to stand throughout the endeavors of science and mathematics. Progress direct to accomplishment of societal scheme considered pertinent to the needs and aspirations of the society. Factors which influence such developments are based on individuals’ ability to investigate, formulate, and consume. It has been stated by several authors and scholars that the development of any nation depends very much on the advancement and application of science and technology as well as mathematics. (Bajah, 1985; Fariwontan, 1997). The role of science in the development of modern societies is not in dispute more so now that the influence of modern technological innovations is far reaching in every sphere of man’s life. And also it is clear that mathematics is well-integrated into many aspects wherein it appears to be greatly relying for its continuing progress. It is true that a great deal of attention recently has been focused on an issue of real importance to the future of our nation. If our country is to build an organized, self-reliant, and technologically compliant society, much emphasis has to be continually made on science and mathematics in our school system. Most commonly in the university policies, belongs that the school itself focus on mastery of knowledge
