(Davao del Sur State College, 2024-04)The covid-19 pandemic impacted a lot the mathematics teachers in the deliberation of education. This research aimed to determine the adjustments of teachers of mathematics teachers and to delineate the different teaching strategies of mathematics teachers in Salud Cagas Technical and Vocational High School. The study employed qualitative phenomenological research methods, utilizing in-depth interviews. The findings reveal that mathematics teachers used different teaching strategies, such as active-based instruction and traditional method of teaching. Furthermore, mathematics teachers encountered various challenges in utilizing the different teaching strategies in a post-pandemic. These challenges include fall under facilitating learning, classroom management, applying new methods of teaching, and challenges in the new curriculum. Instead of letting the challenges overdrive their ways, teachers are applying different coping strategies in conquering the challenges such as going the extra mile in teaching and keeping up the teaching innovations. Moreover, teachers understand that they should adapt the changes in the teaching landscape and parent-teacher collaboration should be established in the field of education .Item The use of instructional videos as a learning tool and students' self-concept in learning mathematicsTan, Crystal Jane N. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-02)The study of mathematics is unique and essential to education. People use mathematics on a daily basis in various fields and aspects of life. Basically, utilizing technological advancement in educating students in Mathematics is a challenging assigned responsibility that involves taking into contemplation several types of aspects, such as teaching methods, subject matter, and student engagement. Additionally, a student's self-concept in mathematics can be assessed by how confident they are in their ability to grasp new mathematical concepts and perform well in class. This is how students perceive their mathematical skills and knowledge. To identify the relevant relationship between the use of instructional videos as a learning tool and students' self-concept in learning mathematics. This quantitative study was organized by utilized detailed-correlational survey method to gathered information using an modified questionnaire from Adlawon et al., (2022) and Bunag (2015). The information of the research was collected by employing a questionnaire consisting of two parts. Part I, is requested to ascertain the use of instructional videos as a learning tool in terms of its: Purpose, Content, and Video Quality. Part II, is to determine the students' self concept towards mathematics in terms of: Learned, Organized, and Dynamic. At Davao del Sur State College at Matti, Digos City is where this research study was carried out. After the researcher obtaining the list of BSED-Mathematics students from ITED, 141 respondents were anticipated between the use of instructional videos as a learning tool and students' self-concept in learning mathematics.Item Factors influencing students' preferences in choosing a strand in senior high schoolCasas, Cryslyn Jean D. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-02)One of the most complex decisions a junior high school student may make is which senior high school career or strand to follow. In choosing their preferred strand, they may be influenced by many factors as well as other reasons. In response, this study aimed to find out students' preferred strands, the factors' influence on the senior high strand preferences, and whether there is significant association between the factors and strands. The study's respondents were determined by employing complete enumeration; 76 students were selected as the study's participants. To measure the impact of the mentioned strand selection factors on the strand preferences of the students, the researchers utilized a descriptive correlational technique for research. A survey questionnaire that had been adopted was used to collect the necessary data. The statistical significance of parents and employment chances was discovered. Two of the five influences were most effective in influencing and predicting students' strand selection determinants. The socioeconomic, academic performance, and peer influence variables were shown to be statistically insignificant. The factor of socioeconomic status, parents, and job opportunities are among those that influence strand selection. It was discovered to have a powerful impact on students' preferred courses. It can be assumed that various determinants for career choice have statistically significant effects on students' senior choosing a career in high school since senior high school preparation is essential after graduating from high school, whether they choose tertiary education, job, or both, the study provides essential guidance on how to lead and develop for kids, parents, and school officials their intended careers.Item The influence of study habits and learning interest on the mathematics performance of indigenous studentsPangandoyon, Bincard V. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-04)The main goal of this study was to determine the level of influence of study habits and learning interest on the mathematics performance of indigenous students of the Grade 9 indigenous students in Sinawilan National High School. This research study used a descriptive-correlation research design. The study was conducted with a total of 65 respondents from all the 9 indigenous students who are currently enrolled for the academic year 2022-2023. The instruments that were used by the researcher in gathering data dealt with the level of influence of study habits and learning interest on the mathematics performance on the mathematics performance of indigenous students. Results revealed that the Grade 9 indigenous students' level of study habits and learning interest is high and low, study habits obtain an overall mean of 3.52 and learning interest obtain an overall mean of 2.98.

(Davao del Sur State College, 2024-02)Differentiated instruction is an instructional approach that customizes teaching methods, content, and learning activities to address the diverse needs, abilities, and interest of students within the same classroom. The objectives of this research is to determine the relationship between students' perception of the application of differentiated instruction and their academic performance in mathematics at Davao del Sur State College. This research adopts a quantitative non-experimental research design, utilizing a descriptive correlation technique. The findings indicate a significant relationship between students' perceptions of differentiated instruction and the academic performance of students studying Bachelor of Science in Education (BSED) mathematics. However, the correlation analysis reveals a negative correlation coefficient, suggesting a negligible correlation between these two variables. It's worth noting that the students' perception of differentiated instruction in mathematics is rated as high, and their academic performance in mathematics is considered satisfactory.Item The effects of student's interest to their mathematics performanceCaballes, Danibie V. (Davao del Sur State College, 2024-01)Determining the relationship between student's interest in mathematics and their performance in the subject in grade 7 at Manual National High School in Kiblawan, Davao del Sur, is the main objective of this study. Pertaining to the 2022-2023 academic, 60 students from Manual National High School participated in the survey. A survey checklist questionnaire administered face-to-face served as the tool. The researcher took ownership of the used instrument. The following conclusions were drawn from the use of descriptive statistics and correlation tools. Students at Manual National High School in grade 7 frequently show interest in their mathematical performance. The results indicated that we should reject our null hypothesis. The motivation to learn mathematics and the quality of mathematics instruction have a substantial impact on math performance. Peer assisted learning, the motivation to learn mathematics, and the quality of mathematics instruction all have a 3.87 degree of relationship that is frequently positive.
