IMPACT OF RECIPROCAL TEACHING IN MATHEMATICS

ABSTRACT :The study was conducted to determine level of performance using reciprocal teaching in Mathematics among Grade 9 students in Lauis National High School of Zone 1, DepEd Division of Zambales. Reciprocal teaching was used in this research because it was believed to be useful technique for enhancing students’ performance. This research study employed quasi (descriptive-experimental) research design. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis, interpretations and discussions. Findings show that the pre-test performance of the Grade 9 students in parallelogram in terms of ‘proving that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel’ was Approaching Proficiency. However, the pre-test performance on ‘proving that both pairs of opposite sides are congruent’; ‘proving that both pairs of opposite sides are both congruent and parallel’; ‘proving that the diagonals of the quadrilateral bisect each other’; and ‘proving the pairs of opposite angles are congruent’ was Beginning. The post-test performance of the students in terms of proving that both pairs of opposite sides are parallel and proving the pairs of opposite angles are congruent was Approaching Proficiency. While the posttest performance on ‘proving that both pairs of opposite sides are congruent’; ‘proving that both pairs of opposite sides are both congruent and parallel’; and ‘proving that the diagonals of the quadrilateral bisect each other’ was Developing or Fairly Satisfactory
