Bases and Design of Mathema-Teka Muna: A Contextualized Mathematics Enhancement Program

This study evaluates the effectiveness of intervention programs—Brigada Pagbilang, Enrichment Program, and HatEdukasyon Program—on Grade 7 students’ mathematics performance. The research aims to describe the effectiveness of these programs in teaching mathematics and design a contextualized mathematics enhancement program. A multimethod approach was used, combining quantitative (Paired t-test, ANOVA, Cohen’s D, Tukey HSD) and qualitative (thematic analysis) methods. Quantitative analysis compared the effectiveness of the interventions, while qualitative analysis identified recurring themes from open-ended questions. This comprehensive approach provided a thorough understanding of the interventions’ effectiveness. The study followed the structured approach outlined by the Department of Education (DepEd), including project title, time frame, target beneficiaries, rationale, objectives, program implementation and mechanics, budget, source of funds, expected output, monitoring and evaluation, and working committee. Additionally, the IPO (Input-Process-Output) Model was utilized to evaluate the interventions systematically. Findings revealed that all three programs significantly improved numeracy skills, with Brigada Pagbilang showing the most remarkable impact (Cohen’s d = 11.37, Tukey’s HSD = 1.233). Based on these findings, Brigada Pagbilang’s personalized tutoring and collaborative learning strategies—such as peer tutoring, group projects, and digital tools—are highly recommended for integration into the standard curriculum. These interventions can significantly enhance mathematics education by fostering deeper understanding, improving academic performance, and boosting students’ confidence in their mathematical abilities.
