The Teaching of Junior and Senior High School Mathematics in the Division of Quezon: Basis for In-Service Training

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

TPACK stands for Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge. These four variables all collaborate with another in order to establish a productive and effective technology-incorporated classroom. There are a huge variety of pedagogical strategies and technology available for instructors to use and, of course, there is an immense amount of possible content objectives that can be addressed. The study determined the significant relationship among CK of K to 12 Mathematics and PK, TK, PCK, TCK, TPK in Third Congressional District of Quezon.

METHODS

It utilized descriptive survey method to provide a general picture of the teaching of the K to 12 Mathematics in secondary schools in the Third Congressional District. The survey questionnaire served as major data gathering for the study.

RESULTS

On CK by Grade level, Mathematics teachers handling Grades, 7, 9 and 10 indicated that they have a very good grasp or knowledge of the content subject. PK, TK, PCK, TCK, TPK and TPACK of the Mathematics teachers, it is usually true that they have PK in teaching the subject together in blending used various technologies CK in Mathematics of Grade 7 to Grade 10 significantly related to each other. On the other hand, CK of Grade 11 is not significantly related in any of the previous grade level. CK in Mathematics of Grade 7 to Grade 10 significantly related with TPACK. While Grade 11 Content Knowledge in Mathematics is not significantly related to any content part of TPACK.

DISCUSSIONS

This study concluded that the teacher-respondents typically in-line to their area of specialization, some of teachers in small schools however force themselves to teach other leaning areas. Mathematics teachers handling Grades, 7, 9 and 10 have a very good grasp in Content Knowledge. The teacher-respondents with regards to PK, TK, PCK, TCK, TPK and TPACK have smooth relationships. Mathematics teachers have a good to very good grasp pertains toward the subject. However, there is a decreasing progression across grade levels. Grade 11 CK in Mathematics is not significantly related to any content part of TPACK. The study recommends that prepare a guideline in giving teaching loads to the teachers for the purpose of mastering the content areas. Provide examination to certify Mathematics teachers only in particular grade levels to develop mastery of the content areas. Review the content areas of Mathematics curriculum from Grades 7 to 11 to align the content and to have continuous spiraling of the subject.
