ABSTRACT

The main purpose of the study was to determine the effectiveness of teacher made Mathematics Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) to the performance level of the Grade 7 students of Zambales National High School Schools Division of Zambales, Philippines. There were a total of 116 students who served as respondents in this study who were enrolled during the school year 2018-2019. Quasi-experimental research design was used using pre-test and post-test to find the effect of strategic intervention material to the academic performance of the student-respondents in Mathematics. Descriptive (frequency, percentage and mean) and inferential statistics (t-test and Analysis of Variance) were utilized for the analysis and interpretation of the data. The results on students ‘performance in Mathematics using the teacher made strategic intervention material was fairly satisfactory in pre-test to outstanding in post-test. For competencies, the scores of more than half of the respondents in the competency test on translate verbal expressions into algebraic or mathematical phrases and vice versa were greater than the mean score of 53.57 interpreted to be outstanding. The scores of more than half of the respondents in the competency test on translate English sentence to inequalities and vice versa were greater than the mean score of 35.60 interpreted to be outstanding. The perception of the student-respondents toward the effectiveness of teacher made strategic intervention material on knowledge, process, and transfer/ application was very much effective while motivation resulted to be very effective. There is no significant difference in the perception of the student-respondents on the knowledge, motivation, process and transfer/ application in the test scores of mathematics competencies. There is highly significant relationship between students’ pre-test and post-test performance when the teacher made strategic intervention material used as method of teaching in teaching and learning mathematics competencies.
