Implementing Reverse Teaching Method in Teaching General Mathematics among Abm Grade 11 Students

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

With the implementation of K to 12 Curriculum, teaching was reformed into a student-centered learning using new techniques. Unfortunately, in General Mathematics, teachers were forced to use traditional teaching method; the sixty minutes class are used discussion and answering queries resulting to the insufficiency of time for application which affects the overall academic performance of the students. With this scenario, educators are considering reverse teaching method which is one the most trend in education nowadays. This study focused on determining if there is a significant difference between the academic performance of the students taught using the traditional teaching and reverse teaching methods.

METHODS

A mixed method and quasi-experimental research approach were used. Eighty ABM Grade 11 students were selected through purposive sampling and interviewed to determine those students with a smartphone, laptop, and desktop with internet access. The mean of students' academic performance was given a corresponding verbal interpretation based on the K to 12 Curriculum level of proficiency. Data were analyzed using SPSS statistical analysis program. Means and standard deviation were determined. The t-test was used to determine the significant difference between the academic performance of the students taught using the traditional teaching and reverse teaching methods.

RESULTS

The level of proficiency of the academic performance of the male and female students in General Mathematics were both Very Satisfactory. The study revealed that there is a significant difference between the students' academic performance in General Mathematics, both when grouped according to sex and the types of teaching methods used. It also revealed that there is a significant difference between the academic performance of the students taught under the traditional teaching method and the reverse teaching method.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the results, teachers of General Mathematics were encouraged to teach using reverse teaching method and they should undergo service training to gain adequate knowledge on recent teaching strategies like reverse teaching methods. Also, schools should be equipped with modern and appropriate technology tools and high-speed internet to help the teacher in preparing the needed teaching materials. Lastly, conduct this research study on other content subjects to investigate the effect of reverse teaching methods and to assess its effectivity on the learners' academic performance.
