Learning Mathematics (LM) Model

What is it about?

The LM model establishes the role of teaching competence in improving mathematics performance. The outcomes of the study would help establish the basis for education administrators and leaders to understand the need to guarantee that teachers proceed to more training and professional growth as a milestone to improve performance in mathematics. These findings may also serve as the basis for educational policymakers, internal and external stakeholders, specifically mathematics teachers, to always consider and strengthen learners’ problem-solving skills and their teaching competence to ensure the attainment of positive and excellent mathematics performance among learners.

Why is it important?

The findings and conclusions of the study led to the following recommendations, which are believed to improve teaching and learning. In mathematics performance, educators may implement targeted interventions addressing specific weaknesses, adjust instruction to motivate students, and enhance problem-solving skills through Polya's method. Also, teacher training may focus on combining instruction with confidence-building and shifting towards interactive teaching to reduce anxiety. In addition, school administrators may invest in teacher development to handle low-performing students and create a supportive learning environment, recognizing that problem-solving skills, anxiety, and teaching competence significantly impact performance. Further research is needed to explore other influencing factors. Lastly, teachers are encouraged to utilize Polya's method and modernize teaching techniques to boost student engagement, as teaching competence remains a key determinant of success.
