TEACHING STRATEGIES AMONG MATHEMATICS INSTRUCTORS

ABSTRACT : The researcher aimed to identify the Teaching Strategies Among Mathematics Instructors ofPresident Ramon Magsaysay State University for S.Y. 2020 – 2021.The researcher utilized the descriptive research design and used survey questionnaire as the main instrument ingathering data from the total population of seventy Instructors and students – respondents.The study revealed that the Instructor-respondents were typical male with less than five years in teaching andearned units in their Master’s degree. The Instructor-respondents and student-respondents were perceived as“Always” on the behavioral strategies, cognitive strategies and affective strategies in teaching mathematics. Theacademic performance of student-respondents in Mathematics was rated as “Good”. There was a significantdifference on the teaching strategies used by mathematics teachers towards behavioral strategies in terms of sexaccording to the Instructor-respondents. There was a significant difference on the teaching strategies used byMathematics instructors towards cognitive strategies in terms of educational attainment according to theInstructor-respondents. There was a significant difference on the teaching strategies used by Mathematicsinstructors towards effective strategies in terms of educational attainment according to the Instructorrespondents.Based on the summary of the investigations conducted and the conclusions arrived at, the researchers offered thefollowing recommendations: the Instructors may continue their graduate studies to be more efficient andeffective instructors, the Instructors may attend/participate in in-service training programs and workshops toupdate their knowledge, pedagogical skills and learn other strategies in teaching Mathematics, students maydevelop a positive attitude towards Mathematics to improve their performance in the subject, the Instructorsmay utilize advanced technology in facilitating the lessons to improve the teaching and learning process andinstructors may assess their teaching strategies for various topics in the subject and use the appropriate teachingstrategies for the class, the school may give financial support to their instructors who continue their professionalgrowth especially in their graduate study, and the school may review the proposed intervention program by theresearcher for the development of the teaching skills of the instructors in the university.
