ABSTRACT

One of the potential strategies for Mathematics instruction is cooperative learning. The study aimed to determine the effectiveness of cooperative learning on the academic performance in Mathematics of junior high school students. The respondents of the study were from Bamban National High School, Masinloc, Zambales, Philippines. The findings reveal that the academic performance in Mathematics of the respondents from grade 9 and grade 10 are both satisfactory. The respondents’ level of performance during pre-test did not meet expectation for both grade 9 and grade 10 while the respondents’ level of performance after using cooperative learning are both satisfactory for grade 9 and grade 10. The computed significance value for grade 9 and grade 10 indicates that there was a significant relationship between academic performance of the respondents in Mathematics and pre-test level of performance. Also, there was a significant relationship between academic performance of the respondents in Mathematics and post-test level of performance. Both grade 9 and grade 10 students was found having a significant difference on the level of performance on pre-test and on post-test after using cooperative learning as intervention.

Key words: Academic Performance, Cooperative Learning, Effectiveness, Mathematics, Strategy
