Technology-Based Instructional Materials in Teaching Mathematics for Grade Three Pupils: Its Acceptability

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics is an interesting subject that needs so much attention in the elementary. This subject class seems to develop into fearing subject to many of us. Students frequently lose their interest and find Mathematics to be outside of their concern. They just ignore its importance to their future. This situation can be solved by creating a diverse learning approach where both the teacher and the students can interact, collaborate, and cooperate without the sense of fearing the subject.

METHODS

The study used descriptive research. Descriptive research is fact-finding with adequate interpretation. The descriptive method is something more and beyond just data-gathering; the latter is not reflective thinking nor research. The true meaning of the data collected should be reported from the point of view of the objectives and the basic assumption of the project underway.

RESULTS

The extent of utilization of instructional materials was much utilized with an overall weighted mean of 3.44.

DISCUSSIONS

The following conclusions were drawn based on the result of the study:

1. The identified instructional materials in teaching mathematics for Grade 3 pupils were much utilized.

2. Technology-Based instructional materials were developed.

3. The developed technology-based instructional materials were acceptable.

4. Post-test results are higher than the pretest results signifying the effectiveness of the developed technology-based instructional materials.
