GS Thesis
The study aimed to know the implication of continuous improvement program in Mathematics to the academic performance of selected Junior High School students in the second district of Rodriguez, Rizal SY 2018-2019. It sought to develop a better understanding of how the Continuous Improvement Program launched by the Department of Education improved the knowledge and skills in Mathematics of students.
The study used the descriptive-evaluative design and documentary analysis. The respondents of the study are 140 students who are under the Continuous Improvement Program in Mathematics with low academic performance in SY 2017-2018 and 24 teachers who are CIP team members from 8 different National High Schools namely Kasiglahan Village National High School, Macabud National High School, Macaingalan High School, Montalban Heights NHS, San Isidro NHS, Southville BB and 8C NHS and Tagumpay National High School.
Based on the findings, teachers were given trainings and seminars to gain more knowledge in administering programs allowing them to progress in their profession and improve their personal traits. A total of 20 teachers received trainings and seminars related to this program and believe that they have improved their personal traits, which, in turn, contributed to the success of their students' ability to partake in the program. Students, on the other hand the selected schools in this study used a variety of intervention to provide more access to strategically designed activities that increased their interest in Mathematics subjects such as tutorial/remedial classes, video/voice-recorded math instruction and quiz bee competitions thereby improving their grades to reach the ideal mark. CIP team members in math leamed from the diagnostic test that students are mostly unable to understand number sense, lack the skills in computation, solving fraction, decimals and place value and do not possess the ability to solve word problems. Thus, these became their priority areas of improvement for the CIP in Math SY 2018-2019. Progress monitoring assessment was done, and additional instructional support was established by the teachers under CIP in Math to help students lessen their deficiencies in the field of Mathematics and increase the students' likelihood of getting higher grade in Mathematics. Different schools have distinct activities based on the weaknesses of students in mathematics. This is the reason why they have come up with different tests and proposed solutions to help their students increase their knowledge and interest in Mathematics.
As evidenced in their school report cards, 140 students from 10 different National High School got better grades in Mathematics while under the Continuous Improvement Program. Moreover, students increased their self-esteem when asked about how they regard their self-worth now as compared to when they were not yet included in the program All phases in the implementation of CIP were carried out efficiently which resulted to the improvement in the academic performance of the students. Also, poor, and fair grades progressed to satisfactory level. The study concludes that Continuous Improvement Program in Mathematics has encouraged the whole community to participate in enhancing the students' intellect in the field of Mathematics.
In the view of the findings and conclusions, CIP Implementers may be more proficient in the implementation of the program if the school administrators may manifest their concern for their program implementers by providing more opportunities to improve their knowledge and skills in Continuous Improvement Program, ask the help of the LGUs for financial assistance so that challenges in financial deficiencies may be resolved and make it apparent that the full support of the parents in this endeavor is crucial also Teachers may be more skillful in determining which intervention activities are more appropriate for their target students.
