Abstract

Classroom learning relies on engaging teaching approaches. This study focuses on the efficacy of model-based instruction in teaching algebra to 8th-grade students at a public state college located in Tangub City, Misamis Occidental, Philippines, during the school year 2019-2020. Using purposive sampling, 40 students were divided into two groups of 20, each exposed to different teaching approaches. Pre- and post-tests were administered to both groups to assess performance before and after the treatment. To determine the students’ level of performance, the researchers used the Performance Level Assessment Tool, where students’ scores are categorized into five different levels: The Beginning Proficiency Level, the Developing Proficiency Level, the Approaching Proficiency Level, the Proficient Level, and the Advanced Proficiency Level. Mean was also used to determine the performance level of the groups before and after the experiment is conducted. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used in determining the impact of teaching with algebraic modelling on students’ performance in Mathematics. The collected data were statistically analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The results revealed a significant improvement in the experimental group, with 80% achieving the Advanced Proficiency Level on the post-test, compared to 0% in the control group. The control group showed minimal improvement, with the majority remaining at the Beginning Proficiency Level (75%). ANCOVA confirmed a statistically significant difference (p < .001) in post-test scores between the two groups, favoring the algebraic modelling approach. These findings suggest that model-based instruction, specifically algebraic modelling, significantly enhances student performance in algebra.

Abstract

This study seeks to explore the views of secondary school mathematics teachers on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a tool to enhance students’ conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills. It also examines the challenges they encountered when using AI in their classroom instruction. The study used a descriptive quantitative research design involving 33 mathematics teachers in selected public secondary schools in Iligan City, Philippines. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from the respondents. The findings of the study revealed that teachers have a high positive perception of the use of AI in enhancing both students’ conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills. In terms of challenges, teachers have a high positive perception that they face challenges in the ethical use of AI in their mathematics instruction. The study contributes to the practical knowledge of AI application in mathematics education and provides guidance for future research and policy development to improve teaching and learning practices with AI from the perspective of mathematics teachers.
