Abstract
In the Philippines, Mathematics in the Modern World plays a crucial role in various aspects of people's lives and shaping how people understand the world. The primary aim of this study was to construct the most suitable model for predicting academic success in Mathematics worldwide by investigating how self-concept, teaching quality, and the learning environment are interconnected. To achieve this, the study employed a descriptive-causal approach and utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Data were gathered from the 200 higher education students of a public community college in Davao del Norte through stratified random sampling. The results showed that the model developed for academic achievement effectively demonstrated the connection between teaching quality and the learning environment and their direct influence on academic achievement. This signifies that the extent of teaching quality and learning environment could mean higher academic achievement. Higher education institutions may consider the model in advancing the academic achievement of Mathematics in the Modern World.
