Abstract

One of the fundamental mathematics concepts expected of a high school student to master is integers. However, many students exhibit misconceptions in operating integers which affect their performance as they advanced to the higher level of mathematics. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of the intervention on students’ mastery level and analyze the misconceptions in operations on integers. In this study, a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-post-test design was employed. A total of fifty-six (56) grade 7 students were conveniently chosen of which twenty-six (26) were males and thirty (30) were females. Among these, twenty-nine (29) students belonged to Grade 7A, and twenty-seven (27) students belonged to Grade 7B. The data collected were analyzed using JAMOVI, an open statistical software. The Mean Percentage Score (MPS) was calculated to determine the mastery level exhibited by the students. Results revealed significant increase in the mastery level of grade 7 students after the intervention. In addition, there were no significant differences in the mastery level of the students in terms of the gender and section. Although the mastery level of the students improved, there were recurring misconceptions observed after the intervention. The researchers suggest further study evaluating the benefits of intervention in addressing the students' misconceptions in the four fundamental operations on integers.

Abstract

Students with Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) parents face a wide array of challenges that affect their well-being. The consequences of parent’s absence directly affect their child’s psychological state which can result to poor academic performance. This study aimed to determine the academic challenges and coping mechanisms of the Senior High School students with Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) parents through analysis of their lived experience. This study employed a phenomenological research design. In this study a purposive sampling technique was employed to select the six (6) respondents with OFW parents in Senior High School. These students were selected using the following criteria: (1) a senior high school student at Tairan National High School; (2) whose mother is working abroad; and (3) willingness of the respondents to participate in the study. The data collected from the interview were analyzed using thematic analysis. Three (3) subthemes emerged in the senior high school students’ academic challenges: (1) school-related problem; (2) lack of parent’s attention and guidance; and (3) communication. On the other hand, the coping mechanisms of the students include (1) reciprocating parent’s efforts; (2) understanding the parents’ reasons for working abroad; (3) building a circle of friends and family support system. Results showed that the parents’ absence affects the academic performances of the students. However, the students displayed strong commitment to do well in school to reciprocate parents’ sacrifices. Thus, this phenomenological study establishes the baseline in developing programs and support system to the students with OFW parents.
