Abstract: This descriptive study determined the correlates of academic performance of the grade 12 students taking Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) strand at Kidapawan City National High School. Among the factors surveyed and tested are the respondents’ age, sex, study habits in terms of time management, study environment, test taking skills and note taking skills, their attitudes towards Physical Education as a subject, their bodily kinesthetic intelligence, and their academic performance in Physical Education. Findings revealed that there was a slight difference in the number of males and females during the period of the study with generally good study habits, positive attitude towards Physical Education, and competent bodily kinesthetic capacities; and majority with outstanding academic performance. It further revealed that age is significantly correlated with test taking skills and academic performance. Respondents’ attitude towards Physical Education was significantly associated with their bodily-kinesthetic intelligence while among the bodily-kinesthetic skills, only the basic skills were significantly correlated with academic performance. Therefore, the academic performance of students is associated with certain factors as shown in this study. Based on the findings, an enhancement program is proposed and recommended for adoption and implementation.
