Localized Learning Materials as Tools for an Intervention to Attain Learning Competencies of Patterns and Algebra

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Mathematics has been considered a necessary part of general education and has become a required subject in the curriculum across instructional levels, in addition to general education. Under the guidance of a teacher, students can be shown how to "discover knowledge new to them" and how to convince themselves that what they have discovered is correct. This process of learning Mathematics is of great value to them especially in future studies and investigations they will undertake.

METHODS

The study used the quasi-experimental methods of research, utilizing a group of participants to evaluate the effectivity of localized learning materials as intervention tools in teaching patterns and algebra.

RESULTS

Based on data gathered it was found that the use of localized learning materials as tools for an intervention to attain learning competencies of patterns in algebra is effective in improving the performance of learners.

DISCUSSIONS

The results demonstrated that localized learning materials developed can be used by teachers in Looc Integrated School who are teaching mathematics.
