The study determined the relationship between the academic environment and the academic achievement in the core subjects of the Grade 6 learners of two schools as basis for learning worksheets. The study was centered on the areas concern; profile of the teachers and learners; results of the Periodical Tests in the five core subjects; extent of the factors affecting the academic achievement of the learners as to learners themselves, family, learning environment and teachers. The Descriptive Method was used employing the questionnaires to assess the achievement profile of the Grade 6 learners. Treatment of the data used statistical tools of percentage, weighted mean, and test of significant relationship.
It was found out that majority of the respondents were 11 years of age and females; parents’ highest educational attainment was High School Graduate; had combined family income within the range of Php 5 000 – Php 10 000; 7 and above members in the family; and were living in a duplex. The result of the Periodical Test in the five core subjects were interpreted as Low Mastery. All of the results did not meet the Planning Standards of 75% Performance Level (PL) as prescribed by the Department of Education (DepEd). Moreover, the study reveals that the identified factors – learners, family, school, and teachers affected the academic achievement of the learners in school. To improve the abovementioned performances of the learners, learning worksheets are proposed to be used.

Research Objectives and Themes
The study aims to investigate the relationship between the instructional environment and the academic achievement of Grade 6 learners in five core subjects (English, Mathematics, Science, Filipino, and Araling Panlipunan) to provide a basis for developing intervention learning worksheets.
- Analysis of teacher and learner profiles (age, gender, educational background, socio-economic status).
- Assessment of learner performance in core subject periodical tests.
- Evaluation of instructional environment factors (learner, family, school, and teacher impacts).
- Correlation analysis between identified environmental factors and academic performance.
- Development of remedial learning worksheets to improve student mastery levels.
Excerpt from the Book
Rationale of the Study
Planning up for our lessons, we think of designing engaging classroom instruction, using varied teaching methods and preparing elaborate instructional materials. Other than these, there are other contributing factors that support learning. Family, school, teachers, and learners themselves are also contributing factors to the learning process. These are all part of the instructional environment.
According to AIR (2019) the instructional environment is consist of “high quality instruction, peers and staff who support achievement-oriented behavior and serve as positive role models”. Instructional environments are comprised of different, between related features that can either bolster or hinder learning.
Parental involvement impacts student academics. The more parental contribution, the more learners are probably going to become gainful citizenry just as exceed expectations in their performance in school (Cole, 2017).
Bucholz & Sheffler (as cited by Young, 2019) states that classroom environment (school) is one of the most significant variables influencing learner’s learning wherein they can feel a feeling of having a place, trust others, and feel urged to handle difficulties, face challenges, and pose inquiries.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary focus of this research?
The research examines the correlation between various instructional environment factors and the academic achievement of Grade 6 students in specific core subjects within the South District 1, Cebu City, Philippines.
Which five core subjects are evaluated in this study?
The study evaluates English, Mathematics, Science, Filipino, and Araling Panlipunan.
What is the main objective of the research?
The primary goal is to assess how factors such as teacher attributes, family support, school environment, and the learners' own habits affect academic performance, ultimately to create specialized learning worksheets.
What research methodology was employed?
The researcher used a descriptive method supplemented by documentary analysis to assess achievement profiles and correlate them with environmental factors.
What is the significance of the "Instructional Environment"?
It encompasses high-quality instruction, peer interactions, teacher competence, and institutional conditions, all of which are found to significantly influence student motivation and performance.
What do the findings say about the current performance of the learners?
The study found that the mean performance of the students in the core subjects was generally interpreted as "Low Mastery," falling below the Department of Education's 75% performance standard.
What specific role does parental involvement play?
Parental involvement is identified as a critical determinant of student success; higher involvement generally correlates with better academic self-concepts and test scores.
How does the study address the "Mathematics" subject?
Mathematics is noted as being among the least favorite subjects due to the intellectual effort and imaginative activity it requires; the study provides specific worksheets to help address these mastery gaps.
