Abstract
further that taller workers have an average higher wage because they are
more intelligent. Kim et al, (2003) conferment that the height of children
positively correlates with their academic performance he further asserted
that other quantities such as intelligence also show a positive correlation
with height. Similar conclusion was reached by Ogunshola (2009) who found
that heights of academically poor pupils were lower than the heights of
academically good ones. This implies that taller children usually have higher
academic performance than short children. Joel cited in Encyclopedia (2010)
stated that height is a biomarker of nutritional status or general mental and
physical health during development in addition, Owuamanam and
Owuamanam (2004) observed that physical inadequacy such as shortness in
height prevent the child from playing effectively with his age group and in
turn suffers deflated ego, which affects some academic skills. On the other
hand, they added that superior physical quality such as tallness enhances
the childs self - esteem predicts childrens school achievements and their
willingness to try hard at challenging tasks. This research attempted to
examine the relationship between height and academic performance of
pupils in mathematics aptitude test.
Methods
This study made use of quantitative correlational research design to measure the
association of height and the mathematical ability of the selected students in Wireless
Elementary School ages 9-12.
First, seeks approval from the school head of Wireless Elementary School.Choose 30
students in Grade 3who performed well in mathematics. Second, measure the height of 30
students in centimeters using the meter stick. Third, administered the mathematical ability
test to 30 respondents. Fourth, determine the level of correlation between height and
mathematical ability of students.
