“…Hence, curricular enhancements were proposed instead of a curricular reform. As the Philippine educational system had just undergone a major reform with the two more years in senior high school directly impacting mathematics education, what is crucial is the provision of continual and practical guidance for its implementation vis a vis constraints management (Verzosa & Vistro-Yu, 2019).…”

With the ever widening jobs-skills mismatch, it is the role of every country's educational system to equip its students with the necessary skills to prepare them for the world of work. To determine what skills the industries expect from their workforce, this study explored the diversity of the applications of mathematics in the workplace as perceived by the skilled workers. This qualitative survey research purposively tapped 50 skilled workers from hairdressing, food and beverage, bread and pastry, call center and computer hardware sectors. After a three-level data analysis, the results showed how mathematics concepts like numbers and number sense, measurement, logic and technology integration were embedded in the context of production, services and sales in the different sectors. The researcher proposed curricular enhancements for Mathematics in the Senior High School Technical-Vocational and Livelihood Track and recommended that the study findings be used for a quantitative survey research.

“…One of these provisions involved the introduction of a new curriculum in mathematics, aimed at improving skills in thinking critically and solving problems. By providing practical and sustained guidance to support its implementation and address challenges, this curriculum is expected to succeed in improving mathematics education [11] . Given its role as a solid foundation for essential life skills and concepts, learners must understand and appreciate key principles and concepts of mathematics using appropriate innovations to solve problems, communicate, and make decisions in real life [12] .…”

Learning mathematics requires an effective and strategic teaching approach. This study aimed to assess themathematics performance of the learners with the implementation of the numeracy enhancement strategy QD2R (Questions, Drills, Repetition, and Recitation) and to propose a strategy implementation plan to elevate their performances. This study employed the use of a quasi-experimental research design, purposive sampling with 70 Grade 10 students of Lian National High School who were distributed equally to control and treatment groups. The pre-test and post-test results were statistically analyzed using independent and paired sample t-tests, and a survey questionnaire was examined by getting the mean and standard deviation. The results indicated that better performance was achieved by the students from the treatment group compared to the students from the control group, as revealed by the Mean Percentage Score (MPS) results, mean scores, and P values of their pre-test and post-test scores. The learners’ perception of the implementation of this strategy was to a great extent, wherein it was perceived to be more helpful in concepts related to understandingthe lesson compared to concepts related to developing their attitude and skills. Moreover, the proposed implementation plan of numeracy enhancement strategy QD2R had three expected outcomes: elevated understanding and performance in mathematics lessons; modified strategy to focus on the development of attitude and skills towards mathematics; and refined and well-implemented QD2R strategy in teaching mathematics. Relative to these expected outcomes, appropriate measures, timeframe, and resources of each were comprehensively formulated.

“…The second challenge in teaching is perceived to be said on excessive activities and (extracurricular and/or co-curricular) tasks assigned to teachers (mean rank -4.50). Prior to the pandemic, this was already a big concern among teachers in the (Banal & Ortega-Dela Cruz, 2022;Verzosa & Vistro-Yu, 2019). These include doing reports, monitoring, undertaking assessments & evaluations, documentation, and others.…”

At the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, educational institutions worldwide needed to continue with their educational mandates for their learners, albeit not in the usual face-to-face modes. The Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the Philippines as well had to replace the on-campus teaching-learning modes with several variants of remote teaching. However, the various remote means are something quite new to both educators and learners, especially in mathematics, wherein various onboard instructions and on-desk hands-on exercises had been the norm. This study used of quantitative approach through online surveys to identify the educators’ challenges with remote teaching implementations in public schools in the Philippines. The findings reveal challenges related to the actual delivery of mathematics instruction, distractions from non-teaching tasks, curricular adjustments, alignment of materials, and orientation of parents or guardians and teachers. The pandemic may not be the last to impact the education system. Overall, the study shows an increased level of challenges for mathematics teaching. Thus, there is an urgent need to readjust policies and procedures affecting environmental learning conditions such as distractions, family-work-life balance, communication technology, rationalization of non-academic duties, increased participation, and support of parents and guardians.
