Schools Educational Provision And Learners’ Performance In Elementary Mathematics

Catherine M. Samson

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The study employed descriptive-correlational research design to investigate the significant relationship between school educational provision and learner’s performance in Mathematics among 11 teachers and administrator and 24 pupils in grades 4,5, and 6 at Blessed Hope Christian School of Tarlac, Inc. Diagnostics assessment in Mathematics and selfmade questionnaire in school education provisions with four (4) dimensions namely: teacher’s content knowledge, instructional delivery, learning resources, and facilities were used. It has been found out that Blessed Hope Christian School of Tarlac, Inc. is good across the dimensions of school educational provisions. Furthermore, most of the pupils are nearly numerates and achieved very satisfactory ratings in Mathematics. Additionally, it was found out that there is no significant relationship between school educational provisions and learner’s performance in Mathematics. Nonetheless, customized interventions for grades 4,5, and 6 are proposed. The study highlighted to implement continuous professional development workshops for teachers, focusing on advanced instructional strategies and integrating new educational technologies to enhance both teacher knowledge and instructional delivery, establish a Math Resource Center equipped with up-to-date materials, interactive tools, and technology to support diverse learning styles and enhance student engagement in mathematical concepts, implement a targeted tutoring program that provides additional support and practice for intermediate learners, focusing on areas identified as weak in the diagnostic assessment and adopt the proposed customized interventions.
