Increasing the Mean Percentage Score of the Students through Project MEDICS (Mathematical Electronics Devices and Innovation Competency-based activities and Strategies)

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics is a field of fascinating ideas and surprises. These ideas aid in improving methods, techniques, and approaches to increase students’ understanding and mastery of mathematical concepts. This study is a response to the challenges faced by Mathematics teachers in capturing students’ interest and in improving their performance.

METHODS

This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Mathematical Electronics Devices and Innovative Competency-based activities and Strategies (MEDICS) in improving mean percentage scores in Mathematics of Grade 11-Domestic Refrigerator and Air Conditioning Services (DomRACS) students. Gathered data were treated properly and analyzed using mean, percentage, rank.

RESULTS

The mean percentage score of Grade 11-DomRACS students in the Mathematics Midterm test was below the planning standard of Department of Education. With the help of Project MEDICS, the mean percentage score of these students increased.

DISCUSSIONS

The use of innovations, such as Project MEDICS improved the performance of students in General Mathematics. It is recommended that more innovative instructional materials be made so that students would have a good grasp of topics that would be discussed. It is further recommended that innovative instructional materials should be prepared as supplementary teaching tools in teaching high school Mathematics subjects.
