Curriculum Implementation and Performance of Mathematics Education Students in One State University in the Philippines

Abstract

Studies in the past two decades revealed the poor performance of students in Mathematics. In this study, the status of implementation of Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSEd) Mathematics Curriculum in One State University in the Philippines was analyzed using the descriptive evaluative research design. Five Mathematics professors were interviewed together with 42 BSEd Mathematics Major students. Document analysis was done on the submitted syllabi of the professors and the modes of assessment that they use for each lesson objective. Policies and Standards set by the Commission on Higher Education were also used to determine the status of compliance of the University in the offering of Bachelor of Secondary Education-Mathematics field of specialization. Based on the result, the university fully complied with the policies on Program Administration, Library, Facilities and Equipment, Laboratory School, and Admission and Retention but partially compliant on faculty qualifications.
