Proposed Topic/ Title
CHALLENGES WITH PROJECT AN (ALL NUMERATES):
CONVERGENCE OF GRADE 7 TEACHERS’ AND
STUDENTS' OUTLOOKS FOR AN ENHANCED
REMEDIAL PROGRAM
Motivation of the Researcher
The researcher is motivated to do the study, this is to
strengthen the foundation of learning in mathematics
particularly in the foundation in terms of adding,
subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. The researcher
believes that if the foundation is strong, the concepts in
higher grade will be a lot easier.
Research Gap In the Philippine setting, the Mathematical Numeracy
based on the latest Programme for International Student
Assessment (PISA) results in 2018 are: (1) Filipino
students achieved an average score of 353 points in
Mathematical Literacy, which was significantly lower than
the OECD average of 489 points. (2) Only 1 out of 5
Filipino students (19.7%) attained at least the minimum
proficiency level (Level 2) in Mathematical Literacy. (3)
Among the participating ASEAN countries,.
Statement of the Problem 1. How may the effectiveness and challenges of the
remediation process of identified nearly non-numerates
and non-numerates students in Mathematics be
described in terms of:
1.1 teachers’ training in teaching
1.2 teachers’ various intervention materials applied in the
remediation program
1.3 remediation’s learning environment; and
1.4 methods and strategies of teachers in the remediation
program
1.5 student’s behavior toward the remediation program
2. What challenges (both problems and issues) of the
remediation program used by the school are observed by
teachers among identified nearly non-numerates and non-
numerates students in Mathematics?
3. What are the perceptions of teachers in addressing the
challenges (both problems and issues) of the remediation
program used by the school?
4. What consolidated challenges of the remediation
program in mathematics are evident among nearly non-
numerates and non-numerates students and teachers?
5. What program for nearly non-numerates and non-
numerates students in Mathematics may be proposed to
enhance their competencies?

Sequential Explanatory Mixed Method
Respondents/ Participants Quantitative data will be gathered from all nearly non-
numerates and non-numerates Grade 7 students in
Cluster 6 while qualitative data will be gathered from eight
mathematics remedial teachers in the cluster which will be
delimited based on the set criteria

Statement of the Problem This study mainly aims to determine the
effectiveness of the proposed mathematics
remedial program to the performance in
Mathematics of Grade 7 students in Cluster 6,
Division of Pampanga for the School Year
2023-2024. Specifically, it intends to answer the
following questions:
1. How may the mathematics-at-risk students’
performance be described:
a) before the remediation?
b) after the remediation?
2. Is there a significant difference between the
performance of mathematics-at-risk students
before and after the remedial intervention?
3. How may the mathematics-at-risk students’
attitude be described:
a) before the remediation?
b) after the remediation?
4. Is there a significant difference between the
attitude towards mathematics of mathematics-at-
risk students before and after the remedial
intervention?
5. What are the teachers’ and students’
perception on the effectiveness of the remedial
program?
6. What are the implications of the remedial
program to students’ performance and attitude
towards mathematics?

Proposed Topic/ Title THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BLENDED LEARNING ON
THE NEEDS OF GRADE 8 STUDENTS’ NUMERACY
SKILLS: RESPONSES FOR AN ENHANCEMENT
PROGRAM
Motivation of the Researcher The researcher strives to assess the numeracy skills of
junior high school learners with the implementation of
blended learning in education.
Research Gap Despite the numerous studies about students numeracy
skills, there is a need to study the effectiveness of blended
learning.
Statement of the Problem This study concentrated in the effectiveness of blended
learning on the needs of grade 8 student’s numeracy skills
and intended to come up with an enhancement program.
Specifically, it intends to answer the following questions:
1. How can the needs of Grade 8 students numeracy skills
be assessed in blended learning?
2. How do blended learning activities help learners
enhance their numeracy skills?
3. What do experts think are the best blended learning
exercises for numeracy?
4. What are the recommendations made by the experts for
improving grade 8 students' numeracy skills?
5. What enhancement program for grade 8 students'
needs in numeracy might be suggested in order to
accomplish effective blended teaching?
