ABSTRACT

This study determined the extent of competence of the respondent- Mathematics teachers in Sustaining Receptive and Retentive Memory Skills (SRRMS) in their students using specialized media instruction and technologically designed classroom activities. The descriptive method of research was used, with the questionnaire-checklist as the main data gathering instrument. Thirty-eight (38) public junior and senior high school Mathematics Teachers were involved and 40 Junior/Senior high school students were requested to countercheck the responses of their teachers in responding a parallel questionnaire. The data were analyzed using frequency counts, percentages, weighted mean, overall weighted mean, analysis of variance (ANOVA), ttest and Pearson r. Most of the respondent-Mathematics teachers were 20-29 years old, female, married, master’s graduate, secondary school teacher III, less than 5 years in the service and active in attending in-service trainings. The analysis revealed that the respondents are both competent in using specialized media instruction, and technologically designed classroom activities. Regardless of the profile variables, the competence in SRRMS in Mathematics did not show any significant differences from each other. The results explains that the Mathematics Teachers are mature, experienced, and have sufficient educational qualifications to provide effective instruction using specialized media instruction, and technologically designed classroom activities. Further studies on Teachers’ competence in SRRMS in students should be conducted using other variables in a wider venue and scope, under the auspices of an accredited graduate school in the area.
