Interactive Lecture Technique in Improving the Mathematics Competency of the Students of Lis

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In Looc Integrated school, more than 50% of students find math a burden subject. As a result, teachers handling math have to work double time to help these students cope with the problem. This study offered Interactive Lecturing to increase the learning competency of students in Mathematics.

METHODS

This study made use of the mixed method design under the quasi-experimental scheme and qualitative approach. Using t-test, the researcher may gauge the effectiveness of the proposed instructional technique. In addition, thematic analysis was utilized to treat qualitative data.

RESULTS

The researchers compared the results of the pre-test and post-test administered among the respondents. The researchers found that interactive lecture is effective to be utilized in Mathematics subject. Moreover, the researchers discovered that the most common glitch is the lack of space for other activities that the technique requires. The solicited solution is the use of a covered court owned by the LGU located 100 meters away from the school. Safety and security are at stake in the implementation of the said technique but proper coordination with the LGU made the activities successful.

DISCUSSIONS

Adopting the Regional Memorandum 233 s. 2016, otherwise known as Implementation of the pedagogical approaches mandated by the RA 10533, this research found the effectiveness of the interactive lecture techniques, particularly in Mathematics discipline. As the findings of this study manifested that the said technique really helped students and teachers engaged themselves positively in mathematics. This encompassed students' and teachers' ability to explore more. Moreover, the authors highly recommend the adaption of this technique across disciplines which call for further study and experimentation.
