A Comparative Analysis on the Mathematical Achievement of STEM and ABM students of Manila Tytana College S.Y. 2016-2017 Mary Antoinette N. Bien Thesally T. Dalisay Sharmaine Joy M. Fajardo Marlyn P. Manuel Aubrey B. Tangonan Researchers Abstract—This paper contains the results and some recommendations of the researchers The main purpose of this study was to describe and compare the Mathematics Achievement of Grade 11 Students from STEM Strand to the students from ABM Strand, both enrolled during the school year 2016-2017, in Manila Tytanna Colleges. Since it is expected that students from STEM Strand have higher Mathematics Achievement, this paper intends to show that the latter statement applies in the said school. It made use of Descriptive Research Method. The data analysis however yields a conflicting result. Findings showed that there is no significant difference between the Math Achievement of Grade 11 students from ABM and STEM Strands in Manila Tytana Colleges. Index Terms—Math Achievement, ABM Strand, STEM Strand I. Introduction Senior High School (SHS) was introduced into implementation in school year 2016-2017 and offered four tracks namely— Academic Track, Technical Vocational Track, Sports Track and Arts and Design Track. Under the Academic Track lie other strands such as Accountancy and Business Management (ABM), General Academic Strand (GAS), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMMS) and Science, Technology and Mathematics (STEM). According to a statistics, 90,697 Grade 11 students enrolled under the Academic track, wherein ABM and STEM took the highest enrollees. [1] “STEM is the perfect track to choose if you are planning to study Pure and Applied Sciences, Engineering and Mathematics in college. The ABM Track is for those who plan on taking up Economics, Business Administration, Accountancy and Marketing in college.” [2] Taken into consideration the curriculum from the Department of Education (DepEd), these two tracks have the most number of Mathematics subject. STEM has 4 Mathematics subjects namely— (1) General Mathematics; (2) Statistics and Probability; (3) Pre- Calculus and (4) Basic Calculus. ABM has three Mathematics related subjects namely— (1) General Mathematics; (2) Statistics and Probability and (3) Business Mathematics. With these subjects, students are expected to be well-performing in Mathematics to meet learning competencies and curriculum standards. Also, in one of the memorandum disclosed by the Department of Education it is said that, “There will be a required cut-off score for students who wish to enroll in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) strand.” On the other hand, “There will be no prescribed cut-off scores in any subtest for those who desire to enter into the Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS)
