Connecting Logic and Language: An Assessment of Students’ Mathematical Logical Reasoning Skills and Grammatical Proficiency

This study was conducted to determine the Mathematical Logical Reasoning Skills and Grammatical Proficiency among second year college students in the College of Teacher Education at Guimaras State University. A descriptive correlational research design was used in study. The results revealed that the overall mathematical-logical reasoning skills of students were satisfactory, with variations based on sex and program. Students major in Filipino, Social Studies, General Education, and Home Economics showed satisfactory skills, while those major in English, Mathematics, and Science demonstrated very satisfactory skills. The students’grammatical proficiency when taken as a whole and when categorized according to sex was satisfactory. In terms of program, students enrolled in BSED and BEED demonstrated satisfactory grammatical proficiency, whereas those in BTLED exhibited only a fair level. With respect to specialization, students major in Social Studies, General Education, English, Mathematics, and Science showed satisfactory grammatical proficiency. In contrast, students major in Filipino and Home Economics demonstrated a fair level of grammatical proficiency. The students' mathematical-logical reasoning skills did not differ significantly when grouped according to sex; however, significant differences were observed when they were categorized according to program and specialization. Similarly, no significant difference was found in the students' grammatical proficiency when grouped according to sex. However, significant differences existed in their grammatical proficiency when categorized according to program and specialization. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between the students' mathematical-logical reasoning skills and their grammatical proficiency.
