The Impact of Teaching Methodologies in Mathematics Education on Students at Assumption College (English Program)

This research was conducted to explore the methods used in educating students in mathematics. The intention of this research is to take a close look at the method that would be most effective and also attract student‘s interest in mathematics. The sample of this study includes 89 students from Assumption College who are currently in grade 9. The students were divided into the experimental group and the control group and various different teaching methodologies were used. In order to support teachers in creating effective instructions, the instructional models created cover a wide range of instructional goals. These instructional models support teachers in determining how to use the new teaching approaches and also when to use them. The instructional model being used in this research has four categories which are reasoning, reorganizing, remembering and relating. One of the most often used methods in this research was cooperative learning which fosters relating skills, where students work in groups. It is expected that students are more interested and perform better in mathematics. Surveys were also done on the students to ask for their viewpoint of how teaching impacts them. This will also support inunderstanding what students are interested in. Further research may be done exploring into the other methods that could be used and also testing it on other group students to check whether the result matches
