The purpose of this research is to document the correlation between reading skills and mathematics performance, particularly on word problem solving. This research was carried out in the researcher’s grade one advisory class at Rizal Elementary School. The sample population is consist of thirty seven pupils in grade one. This study considers the Parent Assisted Reading Time in School (PARTS), the reading remediation program in school and the ICT integration in teaching math problems. Results showed that reading skills are correlated to mathematics when the pupils can already read with comprehension. As a result, the researcher found that she was able to help some individuals improve their abilities to focus on and solve word problems by implementing reading strategies.

This descriptive research study was conducted to determine the relationship of reading comprehension and mathematics performance of the 302 pupils at Anecito Panolino Elementary School of Division of Passi City for the school year 2014-2015. The Phil-IRI test, the profile questionnaire and first periodical grade of pupils in Mathematics were used as the data gathering tool. The statistical tools used were frequencies, means, standard deviation, t-test, one-way Analysis of Variance, and Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation. Acceptance or rejection of the null hypotheses was based on the.05 alpha level. The pupils of Anecito Panolino Elementary School were males and were in ages six to ten years old. They belong to a family that is earning below the poverty line and were enrolled in Grade V. They have a weak reading comprehension as to speed level, reading level, and comprehension level despite of gender, age, grade level and family income. In gender and family income there is almost a significant difference however in age and grade level it showed almost no significance on reading comprehension. Regardless of groupings, mathematics performance of the pupils was an “unsatisfactory” rating. Significant difference in mathematics performance of the pupils was found on gender however, there is none with respect to age, family income and grade level. The positive correlation between the pupils speed level, reading level, comprehension level and mathematics performance was determined in the study.

ABSTRACT Hafsah B. Mama and Johanisa M. Dibagulun. “Difficulties encountered in solving word problems in Mathematics”. An Undergraduate Thesis, Secondary and Elementary teaching Department, College of Education, Mindanao State University, Marawi City, June 2016. Thesis Adviser: Prof. Teodoro M. Drilon Word problems are consistently used as practice exercises and illustrations throughout Mathematics curriculum. However, problem solving is a difficult task as it involves a lot of steps. People have to hurdle the challenges in going from one step to another although the steps may not necessarily have to take in sequential manner. This study employed the mixed method design, a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods. It aims to determine the difficulties encountered in solving word problems in Mathematics by the Grade six pupils in Amai Pakpak Central Elementary School. There were forty seven (47) pupils who participated in the study. Data were gathered through administering 10-item researchers’ made test regarding word problems. The test were administered right after it was statistically proven to be reliable using Richard-Kurson with value 0.84. Moreover, one-on-one interview with the respondents also took place. The interview questions were based on the three problems which most of the pupils answered incorrectly. Results showed that most (55.3%) of the respondents have satisfactory grades in English. Moreover, almost the same number of percentages (48.9% &46.8%) had passing and satisfactory grades in Mathematics. In addition, more than half of the respondents failed the test. It is also found that there is a significant relationship between English grade, Mathematics grade and performance in solving word problems. Findings revealed that pupils have difficulties in solving word problems in Mathematics. Some difficulties were lack of comprehension, lack of strategy, incorrect use of operations, inability to translate the problems in Mathematical equation, interchanging values and computational errors. After thorough analysis, it is suggested that students should enhance their skills in solving and vocabulary to understand the problem so that they could carry out the required solution. Furthermore, future researchers may consider the comprehension level of the pupils perhaps administering comprehension test simultaneously.

Abstract: This study examined group discussion in problem based learning strategy aided authentic material on students’ learning outcome. The focus of the study was to know the influence of group discussion which used authentic material in developing the learning outcome and students’ critical thinking. The topic of the discussion was taken from the students’ ability to analysis and solve English semantic phenomena. The positive hypothesis of the study was the group discussion on problem based learning strategy aided authentic material influenced the students’ learning outcome and developed student’s critical thinking. This study was done by analyzing empirical data which was gained by using quasiexperimental based on quantitative and qualitative analysis. Quantitative analysis was applied to analyze the influence of the students’ learning outcome, while qualitative analysis was applied to describe students’ critical thinking which was gained by problem solving instrument descriptor. As the sample, two classes of English semantics class of Teacher Training and Science Education PGRI Jombang College, East Java, republic of Indonesia were chosen as the subject of the study. Experimental and control class was chosen by using purposive sampling technique. The study was done by following steps (1)preliminary study, (2)drafting learning model, (3)developing and validating research instrument, (4) completing the draft of learning model, (5)pre-test, (6)implementing the learning model, (7)post-test, (8)analyzing the data by using SPPSS 16.0 for windows. The data finding showed that learning strategy by applying group discussion was significant in gaining the students’ learning outcome. Moreover, the result of problem solving data analysis in problem based learning aided authentic material was able to develop students’ critical thinking skills. The consideration of the number of the group discussion member and the choosing of authentic material which is aided should be relevant to the students’ ability and also their daily life in order to gain the maximal learning outcome.

In the newest education curriculum namely curriculum 2013, Indonesian government focuses on building good character for citizen in several aspects which covers religion, social, knowledge, and skill. In order to succeed the government mission to build a good character for the citizen, teachers and lecturers should integrate character building through learning process in the classroom. It can be done by creating a good atmosphere through teacher’s behavior change in the classroom so that the students can enjoy studying so that their good character can be developed. During the team conducted lesson study, self-confidence was chosen to be the main character which was developed. This study proposed to find out how students’ self-confidence can be enhanced through teacher’s behavior change on lesson study program for TEYL 1. The result of the study showed that the students’ self-confidence were enhancing due to the teacher’s behavior change.

The metrics of school performance is the quality of instruction that translates to the quality of graduates. They are the products of the educational system that meet the society’s expectations. To this end, the school provides a continuum in the learning process that would ensure the acquisition of desired learning competencies, higher quality programs for an improved level of performance, knowledge creation and eventually opportunities for career progression. Through the decades there have been unrelenting initiatives to improve the students’ academic performance, to address the issues on low turnout of quality graduates and poor performance in particular in the subject areas of English, Mathematics and Science. The quality of students that impacts on performance has been a recurring issue. Along this line, there is a need for rethinking the crucial role of teacher, home, community stakeholders, instructional facilities, discipline, behavior and environment in the academic performance, if learners are to grow and develop their full potential. It is performance that enables them to achieve a quality of life that can survive the effects of the confluence of environment, social, political and economic issues. Given an effective learning environment, they will eventually acquire a preparation that conforms to international standards. The continuous conduct of investigations related to performance is evidenced in a number of masteral theses in this journal issue that focus on factors affecting academic performance that include stakeholders’ involvement, educational facilities, classroom management, teaching strategies, home influence, community involvement, behavioral problems and parental support. Even the effect of multigrade classes on performance was explored. The studies are in keeping with the growing recognition of assessment initiatives to arrest the poor and deteriorating state of education, to institute quality control standards for performance and to address the issue of quality, access and equity. The success efforts to level up academic performance is acknowledged to be a collective responsibility of all those who hold stakes in education.
