NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER
Mathematics is one of the major subject students take up in school from kindergarten to
college. It is a subject that involves computing, analyzing and creating. The subject which that
has full of numbers and combine with letters making a person’s mind think critically and crazy.
It is the most hated subject of many students even though it is everywhere and they can’t escape
from the reality that they use it every day in their lives. As cited by Mbacho (2013) knowledge
of mathematics as a tool for use in everyday life is important for the existence of any individual
and society. In addition to this he also state that Mathematics equips students with a uniquely
powerful set of tools to understand and change the world. These tools include logical reasoning,
problem solving skills, and the ability to think. Being one of the hated subject in a school
curriculum, poor performance in Mathematics became persistent in the country. The recent
TIMSS 2003 data showed that Filipino students’ poor mathematical performance has placed the
country in the 36th rank out of 38 nations worldwide (Sangcap, 2010). This marks the challenge
among the schools in the Philippines particularly to the math teachers in improving the
With these, mathematics teaching should be given more importance in having different
strategies that will change students’ thinking and perception about it. Strategies that will
motivate them to learn, have fun, enjoy, and love mathematics. Teaching strategies which are
effective and will improve the quality of students’ performance in mathematics classrooms.
One of the major challenges of educators is to be able to identify the most effective
learning strategies for their students. We live in a knowledge-based society. Knowledge creation
occurs through collaborative work in a social environment. That means knowledge creation is a
5
NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER
social process. In this regard, the question of “How can the most effective learning design be
created?” needs to be answered in knowledge creation procedure (Hong, Chai & Tsai, 2015).
Traditional learning methods employed widely by teachers are challenged as they are
viewed the source of many problems. Cooperative learning is one of the most widely used
approaches of active pedagogy. It occurs through an individual’s interaction with peers and
environment is based on students’ learning through social contexts (Gillies, 2014; Slavin, 2014;
Tsay & Brady, 2010). The core of cooperative learning is based on the social dependency theory.
According to this theory, cooperation is the most effective when learners are aware that they
share the similar targets and the targets of individuals are positively linked to the actions of the
group. This positive reciprocal dependency is accepted to increase the encouraging interaction.
(Herrmann, 2013). Cooperative learning is also one of a successful teaching strategy in which
small teams, each with students of different levels of ability, use a variety of learning activities to
improve their understanding of a subject (David & Roger, 2001). Each member of a team is
responsible not only for learning what is taught but also for helping teammates learn, thus
creating an atmosphere of achievement. Students work through the assignment until all group
Swan (2006), asserted that group work help students increase their mathematical
Furthermore, Devi, Musthafa and Gustine, (2015) stated that cooperative learning is a
pedagogical practice that provides learners with the cognitive, affective and psychomotor
attainments when they have the opportunity to interact with others to achieve common goals.

A great number of cooperative learning techniques and structures exist today. These
models differ from one another in terms of some important aspects such as enabling individual
addition, certain basic elements such as positive dependency, individual accountability and face-
to-face interaction are common in these models (Ghaith & Bouzeineddine, 2003; Slavin, 2015;
Sharan, 2015). One of the various classroom practices of cooperative learning is the Numbered
Heads Together. According to Lince (2016), Numbered Heads Together (NHT) is one type of
cooperative learning that emphasizes the special structure designed to influence the pattern of
interaction of students and has a goal to improve student mastery. Numbered Heads Together
(NHT) cooperative learning model can be applied to boost learning activity (Richard &
Renandya, 2002). Purnomo (2012), as cited by Mustami and Safitri (2018) has found that NHT
successfully improved students’ ability and was effective in accommodating students’ learning
understanding them (Arends, 2012). As a learning model, NHT basically constitutes a variation
of group discussion. Besides, it offers an opportunity for students to share ideas and consider the
best answer to their learning problems. It also facilitates students to prepare themselves in group
presentation so that all students including slow students are trying their best. In a conventional
learning, competition among students is inevitable because both high and low ability students
As for the context of this research, mostly junior high school students don’t have with an
enthusiasm and high motivation in learning Mathematics. In first couple of weeks, they seem to
be eager and attentive but as usual they start to lose their motivation gradually. They start not to
attend classes and not to participate in classroom activities. Consequently, students cannot
7
NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER
achieve the intended proficiency level as other researchers also admit (Karahan, 2007; Temur,
2013; Top, 2009). As the curriculum progresses, they fall behind the schedule and finally give
up.
Being the researcher is a teacher for almost 9 years, she encountered the different
problems of students in learning Mathematics. Based on her experiences most students have
difficulty in learning and remembering patterns and rules in solving mathematical expressions
and problems. They don’t know how to learn and they fear not to be able to learn, and they don’t
like to be criticized in front of others. This shows that students need an atmosphere that they are
learn Mathematics. As Kurt and Keçik (2017) stated, materials also should be revised in a way
that can attract students’ attention, and be related to their own lives. Students also need an
instructor who can share the responsibility, understand the needs and problems of the students
and act accordingly. As a result, it is detected that there is a need to increase the motivation of
the students. In an attempt to find a way or a model to increase motivation of the students the
researcher decided to apply Keller’s ARCS motivational model with the Numbered Heads
Together. The ARCS motivational model, which consists of four categories, Attention,
Relevance, Confidence and Satisfaction covers most of the areas of research on human
motivation, and is a motivational design process that is compatible with typical instructional
design models. The ARCS model is considered to be successful because it doesn’t allow
traditional teaching system, but it covers different aspects of teaching and accounts for students’
perspectives and allows students participate actively based on a need analysis. Based on such a
interests and needs of students. The model helps an instructor to get out of the standard routine
8
NUMBERED HEADS TOGETHER
by still following the syllabus, identify the component of instruction that is problematic and
decreases students’ motivation to learn, and provide opportunities to motivate their students
(Keller, 2010). Furthermore, for instructors who are eager to motivate their students but have
difficulties to put their theoretical knowledge into practice, the ARCS model provides a
systematic, easy to follow design that every teacher can implement to motivate students to learn
(Keller, 2010). Keller (1983) indicates that by using ARCS motivational model, an educator can
create or change the learning conditions/environment in a way that individual students can
motivate themselves. It is thought that ARCS, which approaches the motivation problem from
both students’ and teacher’s point of view, could be applicable in this study. Therefore, this study
inserts this model into Mathematics classes with the Numbered Heads Together to the Grade 8
students of San Miguel National High School to find out the effectiveness of the strategies in
classes.

Participants
The participants of this study will be the Grade 8 students of San Miguel National High
School, San Miguel, Bulacan. Two sections being handled by the researcher with almost the
same level of performance as manifested according to their average grade in their previous year
will be selected for the experiment: the control group and the experimental group.
Sampling Method
Purposive sampling method will be utilized in selecting the student respondents. This is
because students are already assigned to sections prior to the onset of this study. Two sections
being handled by the researcher with almost the same level of performance as manifested
according to their average grade in their previous year will be selected for the experiment.

Keller (1983) defined a four-dimension model for motivation with practical application to
instructional design. The ARCS model is based upon Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and
learners’ goals and needs must be made clear. • Learners must feel Confidence in their ability to
succeed in learning (expectancy for success). • Learners should feel Satisfaction about their

The second factor of the polynomial is obtained by dividing each term of the
polynomial by the greatest common factor (GCF).
The teacher gives another example to illustrate for the learners to better understand the
concept of factoring polynomials with common monomial factors.
Example:
3x3+18x2y5-24xy
GCF: 3x
Quotient: x2+6xy5-8y
Factors: 3x(x2+6xy5-8y)
