Discipline: education and teaching

 

Abstract:

Mathematics has been a difficult subject to teach, especially to students who struggled to understand and grasp the concepts. Graphic organizers were one of the strategies used by teachers to help students build concepts and organize their thoughts. However, these graphic organizers only addressed concept building and did not address other important skills such as problem solving and retention. The use of colographs in three forms, namely Colograph Concept Map, Colograph Problem Solving, and Colograph Notes, was the focus of this study, with the goal of determining their effects on the mathematics performance of Grade 10 students in an online teaching modality. This research made use of quasi-experimental research design to determine the impact of Colographs to the mathematics performance of the participants. A purposive sampling design was employed in choosing the 42 Grade 10 respondents; 22 respondents for the control group and 20 respondents for the experimental group. Further, descriptive statistics and inferential analysis such as the T-test were used. The findings revealed that the majority of the respondents were female, between the ages of 14 and 16. Their third quarter grade showed that the experimental group had an average grade of 85-89% indicating a proficient level of academic performance while the control group had an average of 75-79% and 85 -89% indicating developing and proficient level respectively. The t-test of the mean pretest scores of the control and experimental group revealed that the two means did not significantly vary (t= -1.72, p-value= 0.094). In addition, the t-test result of the mean posttest scores of the experimental and control group showed that it significantly differed (t= -2.615, p-value= 0.013), which disclosed that the intervention had a significant increase in the scores of the students. Furthermore, the results revealed a significant difference in the mean scores of the two groups. Hence, the utilization of colographs in the Mathematics online class aided the visual process of memory as well as the learning process as a whole. The use of these colographs in mathematics subjects was recommended in order to help them improve their mathematics academic performance and set learning goals.
