Discipline: Education
Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the perceptions of the grade 6 pupils on the teaching strategies of
Mathematics teachers in Candelaria District, Schools Division of Zambales. Likewise, it attempted to
determine its relationship to pupils’ academic performance. For a meaningful analysis of the data, the
hypothesis tested was: there is no significant relationship between pupils’ academic performance and
teaching strategies of teachers. The descriptive type of research was used in this study using lottery
technique in choosing its sample. The researcher used frequency distribution and percentage to
quantify the data and employed Pearson r to test the hypothesis at .05 level of significance. From the
given findings, the following conclusions were drawn:1) The academic performance of the pupils in
terms of Mathematics Ratings and Grade Weighted Average were generally Very Satisfactory and
Satisfactory, respectively; 2) The teaching strategies of teachers as perceived by the participants were
under the qualitative index of “Always”; 3)Only the second grading in Mathematics Rating and
second grading in Grade Weighted Average were significantly related to teaching strategies of
Teachers; and 4) No significant relationship was noted between the perceptions of grade 6 pupils on
instructional strategies used by their teachers in Mathematics and their academic performance.
