Operational Efficiency of K to 12 Spiral Approach in Mathematics
Keywords:
Operational Effieciency, K to 12, Spiral Approach, MathematicsAbstract
This study determined the operational efficiency of K to 12 spiral approach in Mathematics among Grade 6 & Grade 10 students in the seven selected elementary and secondary schools of Samar Division, particularly located in Paranas, Samar for the school year 2017-2018. This study utilized descriptive research design with comparative analyses assessing the efficiency implementation of K to 12 spiral approach in Mathematics curriculum as perceived by the 6th and 10th grade students including their Mathematics teacher. For the finding of the study, the targeting standards of the curriculum as one of the teacher's perspectives on the implementation of the K to 12 spiral mathematics was also revealed. Teachers are not prepared to help students meet those standards since they were also confused with the new spiral approach used in teaching K to 12 Mathematics. According to almost 34 teachers, as long as they follow the underlying principles in teaching and continue to do their task as a teacher, the K to 12 curriculum will be worked out effectively. For the conclusion, students who were exposed to too much time in instruction significantly gained high achievement results compared to others who experienced fewer exposure of the concepts or discussion in the implementation of the new curriculum. Time allotment for the discussion of all the competencies in the curriculum is not enough to be covered for the entire year and teachers were conducting remediation to resolve the policy on promoting and retaining a student. A strong parent-teacher partnership helps students to practice a good study habit which helps students to engage actively in developing their potential during Math classes.
