Improving Mathematics IV Performance Rears Outcomes toward Vivid Excellence

Abstract

Introduction

Pupils’ academic performance and how they do well has become the most common concerns of CanES Teachers and stakeholders. Based on the average MPS of all the learning areas for the last three school years (2014-2017), Mathematics got the lowest MPS, 62.04% in SY 2014-2015, 54.33% in SY 2015 –2016 and 56.17% in SY 2016-2017. Among the grade levels, Mathematics IV ranked last with an MPS of 56.68% SY 2014-2015, 48.45% for SY 2015-2016 and 50.38% for SY 2016-2017. This study aims to find out the intervening factors that affect the pupils' performance in Mathematics. The study further looks for the best solution to uplift the performance of Grade IV pupils.

Methods

Based on the record, 20 out of 33 or 60.61% struggling learners of CanES Grade IV pupils in SY 2017-2018are consistently getting Low Performance in Mathematics.

Results

There was an increase of 5.9% from the test result in 2nd Periodical to 3rd Periodical tests (PT). An accumulated increase of 8.69% was noted until 4th PT

Discussions

After the conduct of Project IMPROVE to the struggling learners, the test performance of CanES Grade IV increased by 5.9% from 2nd PT to 3rd PT. This further indicates that Project IMPROVE reached 3.69% higher than the 5% target. Thus, we conclude that the project is effective.
