Abstract
This study investigates the influence of performing arts on the attitude and academic performance of grade three pupils in selected public elementary schools in Taytay Sub-Office during the School Year 2023-2024. Utilizing a descriptive survey research design, the study sampled 84 teachers and 400 pupils chosen through quota and simple random sampling techniques. Data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire and documentary analysis of pupils’ first-quarter academic performance. The findings reveal that performing arts significantly influence pupils’ attitudes in terms of motivational drive, concept application, and learning task accomplishment. However, the study found no significant correlation between the influence of performing arts on attitudes and the pupils’ academic performance. The research concludes that while performing arts enhance certain aspects of pupils’ attitudes, they do not directly predict academic performance. Recommendations include employing varied instructional strategies and regular monitoring of pupils’ progress in performing arts to enhance their educational experience.
