Creative Mathematics Outcomes Achieved by the Junior High School Students as Characteristics of Mathematics Education at St. Paul University

Abstract

The study integrated the Charism Core Value of St. Paul University to the Mathematics Subject in Junior High School which is translated into a learning outcome pertaining to becoming a creative, resourceful explorer and problem solver. The junior high school students’ achievement of the mathematics learning competencies infused with the Charism core value was determined with the use of researcher-made questionnaires administered to 151 Science Class students enrolled in St. Paul University Surigao during the school year 2019-2020. Data gathered were analyzed using means and standard deviation. As a result, it was determined that the students under study achieved the creative mathematics outcomes and competencies to some extent. As to the specific indicators, the students under study were observed to be doing well at acknowledging points for improvement when solving problems to some extent compared to other indicators as they engaged in their mathematics classes. However, the same students were discovered to be weaker in terms of exhibiting giftedness as they translate mathematical knowledge into meaningful contexts.

Academic Integrity in the New Normal Vis-À-Vis the Remote Flexible Learning Modality at St. Paul University Surigao

“…In the end, looking into the rest of the indicators and the overall results, it can be inferred that there is no significant degree of difference between the perceptions of the students and teachers on the overall level of honesty behaviors demonstrated by the students under study (t=0. 16). Again, for the teachers, the students are very honest as they engaged in their flexible learning classes in the new normal.…”
