Utilization of Technology Mediated Text Presentations to Enrich the Skills in Solving Problems on Radicals of Grade 9-Mark Students of Don Manuel Rivera Memorial National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

It is essential that teachers and students have regular access to technologies that support and advance mathematical sense making, reasoning, problem solving, and communication. When teachers use technology strategically, they can provide greater access to Mathematics for all students. One example of which is the technology-mediated text presentation in the teaching-learning process which provides presentation materials like video clips along with other kinds of presentations that will help getthe information close to reality.

METHODS

Mean and standard deviation were used to determine if there was a significant difference between the pre-test and posttest mean scores obtained by the students and t-test was also used to determine if there was a significant difference in the level of skills in solving problems on radicals of the students before and after the utilization of technology-mediated text presentations.

RESULTS

The results of the study showed that there was a significant difference between the pre-test and posttest mean scores obtained by the students, hence, there was a significant difference in the level of skills in solving problems on radicals of the students before and after the utilization of technology-mediated text presentations.

DISCUSSIONS

The use of pre-test and post-test determined the significant difference in the level of skills in solving problems on radicals of the students before and after the utilization of technology mediated text presentations.
