Utilization of Computer -Assisted Instruction in Grade 8 Mathematics

Abstract

This study aimed to utilized computer-assisted instruction in Grade 8 Mathematics in Tagudin National High School, Mabini, Pangasinan. Specifically, this study determined the following: First, it determined the profile of the Grade 8 students of Tagudin National High School for the school year 2015-2016. Second, it identified the performance of the student before and after their exposure to the different computer-assisted instructions and activities. Third, it focused into the difference between the performance of the students before and after their exposure to the different computer-assisted instructions and activities. Fourth, it also focused into the significant difference before and after exposure to the different computer-assisted instructions and activities across the profile variable of the students? The pretest – posttest experimental design was used in the study. Findings reveal there was a significant difference between the performance of the Grade 8 students before and after their exposure to computer-assisted instruction in Mathematics. Moreover, there was a significantly increase in the performance of the students after exposure to computer-assisted instruction. There was a significant difference in the performance of the students before and after exposure to computer-assisted instruction across their sex, age, monthly family income, and parents’ highest educational attainment as a variable. It is recommended that: Computer-assisted instruction as a supplement to traditional classroom instruction is more effective than traditional instruction alone; and; School administrators should encourage Mathematics teachers to make use of the advance technology in teaching Mathematics.
