English, Math, and Science Competencies of Basilan State College Freshman Education Students: A Correlational Analysis

This correlational study was conducted to determine the English, Math and Science Competencies of Basilan State College Freshman Education Students. The study covered two hundred-ten (210) Freshman Education Students of Basilan State College who were enrolled in Academic Year 2019-2020 under the following programs: Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED), Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED), and Bachelor in Early Childhood Education (BECED). The descriptive-correlational research design was implemented in this study. The College Entrance Test booklet was utilized as the instrument in this study. The competency levels of the students are reflected by their scores in the different components of College Entrance Test; English, Math, and Science. (a) In terms of English Proficiency and Reading Comprehension, the Freshman Education Students got an average percentage score of 36.25%, which is classified as „Low‟ level of competency. The BSED-English students‟ performance was highest at 41.26%, which is classified as „Average‟ level of competency; (b) In terms of Mathematical Skills, the Freshman Education Students got an average percentage score of 44.07%, which is classified as „Average‟ level of competency. The BSED-Math students‟ performance was highest at 55.00%, which was on the „Average‟ level of competency; (c) In terms of Science Process Skills, the Freshman Education Students got an average percentage score of 36.63%, which was classified as „Low‟ level of competency. The BSED-Science students‟ performance was highest at 44.03%, which was classified as „Average‟ level of competency; and (d) The Product-Moment Correlational Analysis revealed that there were no significant relationships between the competency of the Freshman Education Students in English with their competencies in Mathematics and Science.
