Development of the skill necessitates understanding towards common observable predictors to depict the viable actions of typical students. This study created a model that determines the predictors' direct and indirect effects on mathematics problem-solving efficiency. It utilized predictive correlation design using multiple regression analysis to examine the hypothesized predictors. Results showed that self-efficacy and English proficiency did not directly influence the ability to perform in problem-solving; analytical-logical does otherwise. Notable findings displayed an inverse relationship of study habits among students. With that, improving analytical-logical skills promotes greater learning along with the development of English proficiency and self-efficacy. Furthermore, the study habits of mathematics majors were not meaningful because of the potential exposure to problem-solving.

Using Minitab, it examines the secondary data sets based on every group from various regions of the country. Findings show that educated human capital converge more in highly developed areas where risks matter less and safety measures exist. This results to a concentrated high GRDP in some. It further reveals that index and non-index crime rate is not a hindrance for a person to move in the area with many opportunities as long as life is not at stake. There were more educated individuals in regions with lower GRDP; however, they practiced and worked in highly developed areas and where law is enforced, eyeinga better condition of life. By implication, it results to concentration of educated labor force in areas with better opportunities.

Using exploratory data analysis from the Philippine Statistics Association (PSA), this study explains the likeliness of regions in terms of qualified math graduates and HEIs competent programs amid the growing demand for solar energy. Resulting areas are pioneer, dynamic, and emerging adopters, which all direct to the creation of individuals saturated with math concepts and principles, which are critical skills for innovation in the energy sector. Furthermore, enhancement of curricula gearing towards technology-driven courses of all tertiary institutions may help in the creation of such graduates.

These skills acquired by students in geometry remain poor and unsettling because of the misconceptions that hinder the students in learning the components of geometry. The study described the common unplaceable patterns in geometric thinking of 153 mathematics education students in a state university in Eastern Visayas, Philippines. Frequency Analysis was employed in the study to determine the number of occurrences of the patterns stressing the cause for students placed under level 0 or unplaceable. Van Hiele Achievement Test was used to gather the students' performance in geometry at all levels, namely: visualization, analysis, informal deduction, deduction, and rigor. The findings attested that only 13.1% of the students managed the third level of the Van Hiele Levels while 43.1% of them were unplaceable. Common patterns were drawn and describe to understand the consequences in geometric thinking ability at level 0. These observable patterns were grouped into core-remedial, topicalcorrective, and close-corrective groups. The clusters will enable educational institutions to address the individual gaps in geometry.

The study explored the underlying teaching experiences of all 96 student teacher-extensionists during tutorial sessions. Their teaching experience has been transformed into the phases of experiential learning theory and explored using mixedmethod research design. Findings showed that these preservice teachers discovered the passion for teaching amidst challenges in the chosen profession, as such, teaching was neither innate nor a calling; teaching is chosen and enhanced through reflective and relevant personal experiences across experiential stages. With these findings, a substantial increment of firsthand teaching activities like tutorial sessions should be an integral component in a teacher education curriculum.

The study attempts to understand the interactions at the macro level using exploratory data analysis of secondary data from an international assessment organization in order to discover and fathom the interrelationship of the characteristics namely achievement in mathematics and valuing attitude towards math. Findings showed that global classroom displayed a decline of performance as the valuing to the discipline intensifies. Further analysis found out that presently, the nature of valuing is extrinsic which focuses in the practical use of the subject. With this, behavior in learning mathematics is not positive when geared towards usefulness; but it will dramatically change the achievement when approach is modified to being a desirable disciple.
