DOST COURSEWARE MODULE: A Tool in Enhancing Students’ Performance in Grade 10 Mathematics
Abstract
Covid-19 Pandemic had brought drastic changes in the Philippine education system, schools shifted from the traditional face to face to blended distance learning. One of the major concerns to these new normal modalities is enhancing the performance of the students in the least learned competencies. This study assessed the effectiveness of the DOST course ware modules on the least learned competencies in Arithmetic and Geometric sequences as remediation materials to enhance students’ performance in Grade 10 Mathematics in the “New Normal” educational setting. An evaluation of the motivational effectiveness of the DOST courseware modules on Arithmetic and Geometric sequences was conducted among the Grade 10 students of Los Banos NHS-BM. Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS), open ended questions and one sample pretest-posttest design were used in this study. The results were analyzed and explained using descriptive statistics, measures of central tendency and t-test on paired samples. This study showed that students had positive perception on the motivational effectiveness of the DOST Courseware modules in Arithmetic and Geometric sequences and proved that DOST courseware modules were effective “New Normal” remediation tools. Future researches may be undertaken to further analyze the use of the DOST Courseware modules in evaluation and correlation between perception and purpose of instruction, usability and sustainability. Key words: Covid-19 Pandemic; DOST Courseware module; least learned competencies; students’ performance
