Specifically, it sought to determine the profile of the respondents in terms of age, sex, civil
status, highest educational attainment and number of years teaching Mathematics.
Likewise it looked into the extent of use of the innovative teaching strategies in
Mathematics by the respondent teachers and the significant relationships between the extent
of use of the innovative teaching strategies in Mathematics by respondent teachers and their
profile variables.
The descriptive – corelational method of research was employed and the questionnaire
checklist was used in gathering the data. To address the problems in this study, the statistical
measures were used for data analysis and interpretations. These are the frequency counts
(f) and percentage (%) the average weighted means (AWM) the analysis of variance and the
Pearson product moment of coefficient correlation (r) were used.
Based on the analysis and interpretation of data, the following salient findings were
drawn: 1) majority of the respondents belong to age bracket 31 – 40 which is considered early
adults, female dominated, married, have earned their masteral units, have been in the service
for five or more years and attended relevant trainings in the different levels 2) the extent of use
of the innovative teaching strategies in Mathematics is extensive and 3) there’s no significant
relationship between the extent of use of the innovative teaching strategies in Mathematics.
Based on the aforecited findings in this study, the following conclusion were formulated
1) the Mathematics teachers in Urdaneta District II are in their early adult equipped with
relevant educational qualifications and trainings and practically young in the service 2) the
Mathematics teachers of Urdaneta District II comfortably use the innovative teaching strategies
in Mathematics 3) the extent of use of the innovative teaching strategies in Mathematics is not
associated with the profile variables of the respondents.
In the light of the findings and conclusions of the study the researcher arrived at the
following recommendations 1) since majority of the teachers have just earned their masteral
units and only one with doctoral degree, all concerned teachers should be encouraged to enhance
their professional growth by pursuing their graduate and post graduate studies 2) concerned
teachers must upgrade their teaching performance in Mathematics by attending relevant
trainings in the regional, national, and international levels to further hone their knowledge,
skills and competencies which will improve their craft in teaching Mathematics 3) Mathematics
teachers should level up their extensive use of the innovative teaching strategies to make it
highly extensive to further enhance pupils performance 4) The proposed enhancement program
to improve Mathematics instruction should be implemented in the school and 5) other studies be
conducted to look into other aspects of the extent of use of the innovative teaching strategies in
Mathematics in wider perspective.
