The Effects of Mathscore Program on the Mathematics Performance of Grade Ten Students Among Selected Private Secondary Schools of Santa Rosa City, Laguna

Abstract

NTRODUCTION

This study measured the effects of MathScore program on the mathematics performance of the students among selected private secondary schools in Santa Rosa, Laguna. Specific points were the profile and MathScore level and academic performance of the students. Another were the assessed effects of MathScore to the cognitive, affective and psychomotor of students' learning in mathematics, its relationship to MathScore level, relationship between MathScore level and academic performance in mathematics and the problems encountered during the implementation of MathScore Program. This study will further know the outcome on the student's motivation to learn more in mathematics as well as the improvement on their skills in problem solving.

METHODS

This study made used of the descriptive research method which is designed for the researchers to gather information about present existing conditions needed in the chosen field of study. This method enables the researcher to interpret the theoretical meaning of the findings and hypothesis development for further studies.

RESULTS

1. Most of the respondents are male and have family income of P50,000 -above, often use their account at home, in the Captain level and have a grade of Proficient.

2. Most of the students agree that MathScore have effects on their cognitive, psychomotor and affective aspect of learning.

3. Both MathScore level and the academic performance in mathematics of the students are approximately average to above average.

4. Significant relationship was noted between the students' MathScore level and assessed effects of MathScore to cognitive, psychomotor and affective aspect of learning as disclosed by the p-value of 0.001, 0.027 and <0.001.

5. Significant relationships on MathScore level and academic performance in mathematics was denotes positively moderate relationship.

6. Too many worksheets were identified by the students as the main problem with the descriptive interpretation as Often.

DISCUSSIONS

1. The MathScore teacher must encourage students who are low performing in both MathScore and their academic performance. Teachers may also include advance group review and discussions of topics through MathScore.

2. The MathScore teacher was suggested to prepare online lessons that will enhance student's creativity.

3. The MathScore teacher should continually guide, monitor and motivate students to improve their MathScore level.

4. Motivate students to answer worksheets that enhance mastery skills in mathematics.
