The study investigated the effects of the Modified Alternative Co-Teaching Approach (MACTA) on student algebraic procedural fluency (the ability to perform mathematical algorithm accurately and efficiently). The study used the quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest design that involves both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The study utilized two intact classes of a laboratory school in Bay, Laguna. One section was exposed to the Modified Alternative Co-Teaching Approach (MACTA) and the other section was exposed to the Conventional Teaching Approach (CTA). Comparison of the student algebraic procedural fluency between MACTA and CTA groups showed no significant difference between the two groups, but students in the experimental group expressed substantial number of positive remarks about the teaching approach. The design of MACTA including smaller class size, more student-student interaction, and increased collaborative activities is believed to promote increase in procedural fluency, and positive attitude provided longer term of implementation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
