Investigating The Impact of Intelligence Quotient on English Achievement Andapsa Results Among Learners

Abstract

Intelligence Quotient is a measure of a mental/functional age over the chronological period. IQ can be used to predict the academic success of the students in school but never in their life as a whole (Orloff, 2008). This study investigated the relationship of the learners' IQ to their achievement level in English and APSA results. Ninety-one intermediate learners from the University of Bohol Victoriano D. Tirol Advanced Learning Center in the academic year 2018 – 2019, were included in the study by random selection. It utilized the quantitative research method and employed documentary analysis of the student's existing records. The statistical treatments used were: frequency, percentage, rank, mean, Pearson Product-Moment Coefficient of Correlation, and T-test. The results revealed that the IQ test results and the achievement level in English, IQ test and APSA results in English, achievement level and APSA results in English significantly correlated. Students who performed better on the IQ test had higher achievement levels in English; students with higher achievement levels in English also got higher APSA ratings; and students with higher IQ test results performed better in the APSA. However, it was found out that there is a need to improve the performances of the intermediate learners in terms of their IQ, achievement level, and APSA results in English to a higher level.
