Utilization of Re-Validated Worktext in Teaching Mathematics 10 in Camp Vicente Lim integrated School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics teachers used textbooks as the integral part of their daily life. Generally, teachers use textbooks as their primary teaching resource. The results of the NAT in Mathematics revealed that the mean percentage score in CVLIS Calamba City did not reach the 75% mastery level. According to Hizon (2017), Educational Program Supervisor (EPS -Calamba City), though the quarterly exams of the division showed improvement, the results were still behind the targeted mean percentage score of 75%. The supervisor explained that teachers should revisit their content, enhance their education, and innovate the way they do things in the classroom to help increase the scores. With these aforementioned findings, the researcher desireed to help Camp Vicente Lim Integrated School students improve their performance in mathematics.

METHODS

This study used descriptive research design which is quantitative analysis and also utilized the one group pre-test and posttest research design involving 41 students using purposive sampling. The study was implemented in the second grading period of the school year 2018-2019 at CVLIS. Pre-test and posttest was implemented on the students to determine the effects of the materials in the teaching and learning process.

RESULTS

The study disclosed that there is a significant difference between the mean performance of the students in the pretest and the posttest. The developed and re-modified worktext in Grade 10 Mathematics is in accordance with the competencies as prescribed by the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum.

DISCUSSIONS

The results showed that the re-validated worktext in G10 Mathematics is very useful in the growth progress of mathematical skills of the students. It was recommended that the re-validated worktexts be used exclusively or in consonance as instructional materials in Mathematics teaching. It addressed the needs of these challenging learners in improving their learning skills and achievement in Mathematics.
