Correlation between Year Level Assessment Result and Grades of Marine Engineering Students in their Major Subjects

This research aimed to determine the relationship between year level assessment result andperformance of marine engineering students in their major subjects. Specifically, it sought to present theyear level assessment results of marine engineering students in the year 2015 – 2016. It also seeks todetermine their performances in Basic Electricity, Engineering Materials, and Hand and Measuring tools,to test the significant relationship between year level assessment results and grades in their major subjects,and propose plan of actions base on the results of the study. This utilized a descriptive research methodwith the records of 66 marine engineering students. The results of the assessment showed that the marine engineering students scored the highest in Machine Shop 1 and scored the least in Engineering Materials. The Marine Engineering students got the highest grade in Ba sic Electricity and the least grade in Engineering Materials. The assessment on the course Machine Shop 1 was found correlated to the students ‘grades on Engineering Materials and Machine Shop 1. This indicates that there is a significant relationship between year level assessment results and grades. It is recommended that the maritime faculty members may develop plans to help students have better understanding of each and every lesson of a particular course especially the professional ones.
