Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between student engagement and academic achievement among Muslim learners enrolled in ALIVE classes at Ong Yiu Elementary School for the school year 2024–2025. It focused on assessing levels of engagement across behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions; determining learners’ academic achievement based on their average ALIVE grades; examining the correlation between engagement and academic performance; identifying facilitating and hindering factors affecting learners’ educational experiences; and proposing interventions to enhance both engagement and achievement. A descriptive-correlational design was employed to analyze the interrelationship between student engagement and academic achievement. Quantitative data were collected using structured survey questionnaires that measured the three dimensions of engagement and academic performance using established metrics. These analyses provided the primary evidence for understanding the statistical relationship between the variables. To enrich the findings and capture learners’ perspectives, open-ended qualitative questions were included to explore factors that supported or hindered learning in ALIVE classes. While qualitative data added contextual depth and insight into the learners’ experiences, the primary focus of the study remained the systematic examination of the correlation between student engagement and academic performance.

Keywords: Student Engagement, Academic Achievement, ALIVE Classes, Butuan City.
