Intelligence Quotient (IQ) of High School Students of the University of Bohol - Victoriano D. Tirol Advanced Learning Center

Abstract

The intelligence Quotient indicates the progress of learning by dividing the achievement age by the mental age. This study identified the IQ of high school students of the UB- VD ALC and its relevance to the teaching-learning process. The researcher used OLSAT designed to measure verbal and non-verbal skills. The study utilized qualitative-quantitative descriptive research involving 177 students drawn by universal sampling. Results showed that the Second Year level has the most number of students whose IQ is Below Average, 5 comprising 10% of the population. In addition, most Second Year students had an Average IQ and had a total frequency of 37 (71%) compared to the rest of the year levels. The Fourth Year level embraced the highest number of Above Average students, 47% with a frequency of 17. In general, 7% or 13 students out of 177 total high school population had Below Average IQ levels while 110 students (62%) were on Average, and finally, 54 of them (31%) were Above Average. The classification of IQ among the students at all levels will be provided to the curriculum developers to enhance the teaching-learning experience of the students.
