Cooperative Learning Strategy used in Teaching Mathematics in Grade 1 for S.Y 2017-2018

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics in one of the fundamentals subjects in the school curriculum. It is an instruction in almost all disciplines and an effective key to manpower development. It is also an integrated thought to put social and computational aspects including principles and processes as well as social ideas. The function of mathematics in the present period is meaningful to education. Action research will help the pupil thoroughly acquainted and value properly the environment. It has been observed that students' performance in mathematics is depleted and may students flunk in mathematical reasoning. Among mathematics teachers, one problem is the inability of their pupils to solve mathematical problems and reason out for their answers. The teachers are the ones held responsible for the mathematics education of the pupil. It is then on the premise the researcher who is a public elementary teacher in Tanauan City East District wants to determine the effectiveness of cooperation strategy in teaching mathematics.

METHODS

The researcher should be the model for the implementation of any constructive change that would take place in her pupils. She should be the heart that keeps the teaching-learning situation going. The expertise and positive steps to implement different mathematics program projects in enhancing activities by the immediate school head and supervisor count much in enhancing the performance level of teachers and correspondingly the pupils.

RESULTS

The study of this action research is conducted on the following assumptions: That there is a significant difference between the perception of the school heads and teachers in the use of aforecited strategy in teaching mathematics. That there a significant relationship between the perception of the school head and teacher on the extent of problems they encountered in the strategy used in mathematics.

DISCUSSIONS

The demand at present for quality of education made it very necessary and timely to determine the strategy used by the teacher in teaching. This is one reason why this study is deemed important. School Head. The result of this study may enhance the awareness of the school heads to conduct seminars for teachers who attend a seminar-workshop on the instruction of mathematics. Mathematics Teacher. With the help of this research, mathematics teachers could have a wide variety of better procedures, techniques, strategies, and approaches in teaching mathematics. Pupils. This study may facilitate learning and improve their skills and performance in mathematics.
