The study aimed to develop a PSA-based learning material in statistics for the General Education Mathematics curriculum. A sequential explanatory research design combined quantitative and qualitative research elements was used to describe the respondents' knowledge, experiences and approaches to statistics. The research was conducted at Mountain Province State Polytechnic College's three campuses among college students who had completed the General Education Mathematics course and were currently enrolled in their research course and teachers teaching Mathematics in the Modern World course for the academic year 2023-2024. Results revealed that students have a moderate level of knowledge of the nature of statistics and descriptive statistics, and a low level of knowledge in inferential statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. Further, the students dominantly experienced a learner-centered teaching approach in statistics as observed in the learning materials and activities and confirmed by the teachers' utilization. The assessment strategies used were found to be formative and summative, but alignment in the PSA-based statistics was deficient from students' experiences and teachers' compliance; hence, it needs improvement. Based on the results, PSA-based learning material for statistics has been crafted based on respondents' level of knowledge in statistics, teaching approaches, and assessments. It is then suggested to be integrated into the General Education Mathematics curriculum. The learning material is further recommended for quality assurance to make it ready for use. Lastly, regular updating of the learning material is encouraged to ensure it contains updated information for students.
