A Research Plan Submitted to Mr. Virgil Lumapay, Professor of

Mandaue City College for the Exercise Topic.
 Related Literature

The literature on helping the new teachers retain and develop their new strategies and

skills focused mainly on creating lessons based on the past multiple skills and strategies of

teaching, incorporating with the group, and the positive review for the new normal environment.

Innovative Approaches to Teaching Mathematics in Higher Education: A Review and

Critique Mathematics teaching in higher education has long embraced traditional methods

with non-interactive ways of teaching mathematics where ways in which the student is the

receiver of delivery from the teacher, but only minimally a participant. Traditional approaches can

be seen to be dominated by theory and not to address the needs of most students; it is even

argued that these methods have not evolved much since the times of ancient Egypt and Assyria

5000 years ago (Abate & Cantone, 2005). Recently there have been calls for reforming

mathematics instruction by considering more innovative pedagogical approaches, often rooted in

constructivist theory, to promote students’ conceptual understanding. (Abate & Cantone, 2005;

Chang, 2011; Jaworski, 1994; Mokhtar, Tarmizi, Fauzi & Ayub, 2010, Orton & Roper, 2000).

Theoretically and historically, trends in teaching and learning, have seen a shift from Behaviorism,

passing through Cognitivism, towards Constructivism (Kolb, 1984; Mayer, 1999; Richardson,

2003; Steffe & Gale, 1995; Tynjä lä , 1999). Constructivism is a paradigm that has been significantly

influenced by cognitivism (Hergenhahn & Olson, 2004); however, it presents a more socially

embracing position on pedagogy and learning as opposed to the microscopic focus of cognitivism

on the internal mechanisms that underline learning processes. Constructivism perceives learning

as a process of constructing knowledge by individuals themselves as opposed to the passive

teacher-student model (Brown, Collins & Duguid, 1989; Kolb, 1984; von Glasersfeld, 1987b).
 PROBLEM STATEMENT AND CONTEXT

General Statement of the Problem

In the generation now a days, there is the pandemic that hinder our academic activities and

stop us to go outside the house. Therefore, the academies give us the online classes for us to learn

everything that we need to understand especially to mathematics subject. New teachers related to

mathematics had observed that there had been increased academic failures. Because of the

pandemic, the style of processing the students to participate and learn to the new normal is

changing the ways of collaborating with the students. Initial evidence of this problem included low

standardized test scores and an increase in the number of students who had to repeat a

mathematics course in order to receive sufficient credits to pass. The researchers believed that

this was evidenced in the lack of classroom setting and by the students’ poor motivation succeed.

The researcher conducted this research in the same school.

Mandaue City College

The Public College located in a suburban community that was established in 2005. It is a

school that has an estimated total of 5000 students and estimated 50 full-time faculty members.

The number of teachers with a bachelor’s degree is 41.1%. The number of teachers with a master’s

degree and or higher degree is 58.7%. And the number of teachers in teaching Online Class is

100%.
