Abstract:
This study aimed to determine the effects of stereotype threat to the academic performance in Research Project of grade 12 students of Calawitan National High School. Specifically, it gathered the personal data of the respondents, through the questionnaires the researchers had developed, in terms of age, sex, grade level and section. This study used the experimental method of study utilizing the true control group pretest posttest design. The respondents of this study were composed of the randomly picked grade 12 students enrolled for the school year 2017-2018 under the same Research Project teacher. A total of 24 grade 12 students where 11 are of males and 13 are of females completed the respondents. Moreover, this research examined the difference on the participants, profile, the effects of stereotype threat, and the comparison between the pretest and posttest performance of the experimental group and control group. The researchers used a 50 item periodical test, a 30 item long quiz, both developed by the subject teacher for research project, and a set of questionnaires to gather the data. The gathered data were treated using the following statistical tools: mean, standard deviation, t-test dependent, rate. The results revealed that there was a significant difference between the mean score of the age, the comparison between the Pretest of the experimental and control group, and the comparison between the posttest of the experimental and control group. This revealed that stereotype threat leads to deteriorated academic performance. However, as different people vary, effects on individual perspectives vary as well. The results as well revealed that factors such as teachers' approach, peer group, social media and the students' environment affects academic performance of students.
