The study aimed to determine the level of cognitive development of the first year
college students of the Abra State Institute of Sciences and Technology in Basic Mathematics. It
also determined the relationship between the level of cognitive skills of the students and their
level of performance in the different content areas in Basic Mathematics.
The descriptive- correlational research method was employed in analysing and interpreting the
data in this study.
The respondents had a “Satisfactory” performance on Knowledge, Comprehension, Application,
Synthesis, and Evaluation and as a whole while they however, performed “Fairly” in Analysis.
The respondents had a “Very Satisfactory” level of development in The Numeration System and
Decimals while a “Satisfactory” performance was executed in Real Number System,
Fundamentals of Number Theory, Rational Numbers, Ratio, Proportion and Percent and as a
whole.
The results of the study may be used as an encouragement to students not to disregard basic
concepts in Mathematics in order to achieve better understanding of the subject and have a
strong foundation in Mathematics.
