Abstract

The implementation of the Senior High School (SHS) Mathematics curriculum in the Philippines has introduced new challenges for both teachers and students, particularly in adapting to the demands of the K to 12 education reform. This study assessed the seriousness of issues encountered in implementing the SHS Mathematics curriculum based on the perceptions of SHS mathematics teachers and students in the Department of Education at Calbayog City Division, Samar, Philippines. Using a descriptive survey design, the study involved 31 mathematics teachers, identified through total enumeration sampling, and 320 SHS students, selected via simple random sampling. A 4-point Likert-type scale survey questionnaire was used to examine the implementation issues of the SHS Mathematics curriculum. The results revealed that mathematics teachers perceived curriculum-related, teacher-related, and student-related issues as moderately serious, highlighting significant challenges such as gaps in foundational knowledge, insufficient preparedness, and difficulty adapting to the increased academic demands of the SHS program. In contrast, SHS students rated curriculum and teacher-related issues as moderately serious but viewed student-related issues as less serious. These results emphasize the need for professional development programs that equip teachers with student-centered pedagogical strategies to address diverse learning needs. To enhance teaching effectiveness and improve student outcomes, it is recommended that SHS mathematics teachers receive sufficient support, including access to relevant training and resources.
