Project MATH GILAS (Galing ng Isipan Linangin sa Asignaturang Sipnayan)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Education plays a great role in everyone's life. It is considered as the only consistent and time tested the path to success. Furthermore, education is mainly concerned with the ways and means of teaching and learning. It is considered as a powerful tool in improving one's life. It opens the door and accepts the idea of expanding horizons and learn new things. Moreover, education is essential to everyone and an indispensable part of life both personally and socially. Thus, through Project MATH GILAS (Galing ng IsipanLinanginsaAsignaturangSipnayan) which is one of the intervention programs in Mathematics, it caters the Grade 7 learners who attained below standard in the level of numeracy. The objective of the intervention program is to establish and maintain a non-zero numerate among the learners of Aldea National High School. Based on the deeper sense of the intervention program, the teachers withdrew the root cause which is the poor foundation of the learners when it comes to the four fundamental operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

METHODS

The study uses the descriptive method of research utilizing evaluative design which describes characteristics of a population or phenomenon being studied. The sampling technique used is the purposive random sampling in identifying the respondents.

RESULTS

It was found that the learners obtained a higher mean in the post-test IN terms of fundamental operations of the whole number. It also implies that the exposure of the respondents to the Mathematics Program made a difference in the level of mathematical skills in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Thus, the null hypotheses are rejected. The findings imply that the exposure of the respondents in the English intervention/enhancement program is such a big help in terms of the acquisition of mathematical skills in the fundamental operations. The conclusion that significant effect exists suggests accepting all the substantial increase in each aspect of the level of Mathematical skills performance of the respondents.

DISCUSSIONS

The remedial/intervention program incorporated with Explicit Instruction: I Do, We Do,You Do are still subject to further enhancements. The enhancement program must be a continuous project since it increases the level of Mathematical skills on fundamental operations of the learners. Different Explicit Instruction activities may be developed focusing on the least effective skills not only in Math but in all subjects as well.
