Abstract

Preparing K-12 students to gear up for higher mathematics and sciences, and to be more mathematically college-ready, teachers were given the essential role in bridging the learning gaps. One way to address this was the utilization of modules. The researcher developed Enhancing Mastery & Expertise in Mathematics (EM&EM) module in Basic Calculus. The objective of this quasi-experimental research was to evaluate the effectiveness of the EM&EM module in improving students' performance about the theorems of differentiation. The experimental and comparison groups comprised forty-six (46) Grade 11 students who used the EM&EM module and the DepEd module, respectively. The instruments used in the study were the pretest, formative tests, and posttest found in the EM&EM module. Mean and standard deviation were used to describe student performance in these assessments. To see if a significant difference existed, the formative test and posttest scores between the two groups were analyzed using an independent t-test, while the pretest and posttest scores within each group were analyzed using a paired sample t-test. The findings showed that the experimental and comparison groups' formative tests and posttest scores did not differ significantly, although the former generally performed better when their mean scores were compared. However, there was a significant difference between the two groups' pretest and posttest scores, and that had a large positive effect on their improvement. Therefore, just like the DepEd module, the EM&EM module was effective in facilitating the learning process. Overall, the EM&EM module significantly and substantially enhanced students' learning of Basic Calculus.

Abstract

Concerns about students' math skills have long existed on a global scale, the Philippines performed "significantly low" compared to all other participating countries in different achievement assessments. In addition, many students are showing signs of growing disengagement, particularly in mathematics. This is a significant matter since students' success and performance in mathematics may be at risk because of their lack of engagement. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of the ClassPoint, an Interactive Classroom Tool, in enhancing students' engagement and performance in mathematics in face-to-face classes. The researcher utilized a quantitative quasi-experimental design, with 60 students as participants, covering the second quarter of Most Essential Learning Skills of Mathematics 10. Independent and Paired Samples t-test was employed to determine significant differences between formative test, posttest, and student engagement mean responses. The results showed that the students in the Experimental group who used the Interactive Classroom Tool performed better than the Comparison group who did not. The Experimental group showed a significant improvement in their performance, reaching a mastery level of 78% MPS, and a highly significant difference between the Comparison group in the independent t-test result. In addition, a paired t-test revealed that the interactive classroom tool considerably increased student engagement, as indicated by the significant difference in engagement scores between before and after the Interactive Classroom Tool was implemented. The study suggests that instructors may use Interactive Classroom Tool or ClassPoint as instructional materials to increase student participation and performance.
