The Implication of Interactive Math Notebook (IMNB) on the Academic Performance of Grade 11-ABM Students of Dagatan National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

At a young age, children develop fondness in learning Mathematics. When they reach the age of 11 onwards, they somehow think that Mathematics is an obstacle resulting in their poor performance. This study determined the implication of utilizing Interactive Math Notebook (IMNB) on the academic performance of Grade 11-ABM students in general mathematics of Dagatan National High School.

METHODS

The researchers utilized the quasi-experimental type of research that analyzed the before and after results of the teaching strategy in improving the performances of the students in Mathematics. The samples were composed of 14 students that were purposively chosen. The before and after results were compared using a t-test to determine if there is a significant relationship between the scores.

RESULTS

There was an increased mean score of the students, which indicates that there is an improvement in the performance of Grade 11 ABM students in General Mathematics after the administration of teaching strategy. With the computed t-value of 9.8, the teaching strategy was found to be effective.

DISCUSSIONS

The teaching method, which is using Interactive Math Notebook, can be a strategy that can enhance and significantly improve the students' performances in General Mathematics.
