Abstract |
Drawing from the national evaluation of the DOST-SEI’s project STAR, this paper
presents the case of the Northern Mindanao. Teaching Mathematics through Problem Solving
(TMPS), interdisciplinary contextualization, and Lesson Study are the main training content of
the project STAR. A good mixture of theory presentation, demonstration, practice, feedbacking
and coaching compose the typical training design of the project. This evaluation study revealed
that the training from 2014-2017 have applied the training content in different settings, mostly
in the classroom and among small group of teachers The participants’ teaching practice are
impacted by the training evidenced by the change of their beliefs, attitudes and roles in the
classroom Teacher participants also claimed to have gained professional skills as they continue
on their implementation but have also encountered various challenges such as the lack of
monitoring and feedback. Form the insights on student interviews and class observations, there
are evidences that students indeed benefitted from the teachers’ implementation of the training
content. Recommendations based from the results are also discussed. |
