Using the descriptive survey method, 67 senior Bachelor in Secondary Education students major in mathematics studying at the Eastern Visayas State University (EVSU) served as the respondents. Data were obtained through an adopted instrument that measure these variables. Findings of the study revealed that most of the student-respondents had a moderately favorable attitude towards mathematics, moderate level of self-concept, very satisfactory level of study habits and moderate level of mathematics anxiety. An intervention program to address these concerns was designed and recommended for use by the mathematics teachers.
