This quantitative study aims to investigate the factors influencing the learning process among intermediate pupils at Asturias Elementary School, MBHTE- Sulu. The research design employed was descriptive, and a purposive sampling method was used to select 100 student-respondents. The study findings indicate that the majority of student-respondents at Asturias Elementary School are female, aged between 10-11 years old, in grade V, and have parents with a college education. Several factors, including pupils’ attitude, teaching materials, and home-related factors, significantly impact the learning process. Teaching materials emerged as the most influential and variable factor, as evidenced by their highest mean score and standard deviation. The study found no significant differences In the perception of factors affecting the learning process based on gender, age, and parents’ educational attainment. However, a significant difference was observed based on grade level. Correlation analysis revealed a weak negative correlation between pupils’ attitude and teaching materials, a low positive correlation between pupils’ attitude and home-related factors, and a low negative correlation between teaching materials and home-related factors. These correlations were statistically significant, except for the correlation between pupils’ attitude and teaching materials. Based on the findings, the study recommends that the school head of Asturias Elementary School provide teachers with adequate resources and support to address the factors influencing the learning process. Moreover, teachers should utilize diverse teaching methods and materials that are appropriate, relevant, and effective. Parents are encouraged to support their children’s learning process and create a positive home environment. Lastly, students are advised to actively engage in sharing their experiences and perspectives on the learning process with teachers, parents, and peers while respecting and valuing others’ viewpoints and experiences. This study contributes to the understanding of factors affecting the learning process among intermediate pupils and provides recommendations for effective teaching strategies.
