INTRODUCTION
Mathematics is known and considered by many as the most difficult yet helpful subject taught in the school, wherever and whenever a learner may be. Thus, this study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of ICT intervention in the improvement of the performance of learners in Mathematics.
METHODS
The researcher conducted two Mathematics tests with the same content but different item placements. Tests were administered before and after the intervention of ICT in Mathematics. The data were gathered through the computation of mean scores, comparison on the percentage scores through the K to 12 assessment criteria, and T-Test.
RESULTS
Before the intervention, less than half of the learners passed the test, which increased, to more than 50% after the intervention. T-Test implied that there was a significant difference in the performance of the learners before and after ICT intervention.
DISCUSSIONS
Thus, with the aforementioned evidences, it was proven that teaching Mathematics using ICT is effective.
