SPIRAL PROGRESSION APPROACH IN TEACHING MATHEMATICS: ITS IMPLEMENTATION IN THE PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOL

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the extent of implementation of spiral progression approach in teaching mathematics in the public secondary in the context of new normal. Quantitative was utilized in the conduct of the study. The quantitative descriptive research method was used to determine teachers understanding about spiral progression approach in terms of its background and content standards, to evaluate the extent of implementation of spiral progression approach in terms of lesson planning, instruction, assessment and teaching strategies, as well as to determine if there is a significant relationship between the two variables: teachers understanding and implementation of spiral progression approach. Percentage of the Correct response, Mean, Pearson r were used to determine teachers understanding and the extent of implementation of spiral progression approach. The findings of the study show that teachers moderately understood spiral progression approach. The extent of the implementation of SPA exceeded the expectations which results to a positive outcome of the feature of the curriculum. Findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between teachers understanding and the implementation of Spiral Progression Approach and Project ETISPA (Enhanced Teachers Implementation of Spiral Progression Approach) to be proposed as an extension project. To improve this study, there should be a promotion of advocacy that supports the sustainability and effectiveness of spiral progression approach, further orientation on the roles and responsibilities of teachers and school heads, and enrichment activities like benchmarking and brainstorming, wide dissemination, and implementation of the proposed programs.
