A PROPOSED
INSRUCTIONAL PROGRAM FOR MATHEMATICS

I. Rationale
Mathematics is basic to all facets of man’s life and in all fields of human

endeavor. Students should realize that learning mathematics is a fundamental part of

schooling and that effectiveness as a citizen and success in one’s work requires the

ability to use Mathematics.

Poor performance in Mathematics of the Filipino students is evident as shown

in the examinations in global, national, regional and local levels. As a catholic

educational institution, Kabankalan Catholic College (KCC), has a mission of

preparing her students to be globally competent in their chosen profession. Hence, an

Instructional Program to enhance the teaching-learning process in Mathematics is

developed.

II. Goal

For KCC College Freshmen to achieve very satisfactory performance in

Mathematics

III. Specific Objectives

1. To make students aware of the importance of Mathematics.

 77

2. To give more attention to students’ attitude towards and performance in

Mathematics.

3. To develop positive attitude towards Mathematics among college freshmen.

4. To reinforce the learning process in mathematics of those students with

negative attitudes and help them develop a positive attitude towards

mathematics.

5. To improve students’ motivations and attitudes toward mathematics.

6. To provide students the venue for advising/counseling specially those with

negative attitudes towards mathematics.

7. To use varied teaching strategies to motivate students in learning

Mathematics.

8. To make classroom environment conducive to the teaching-learning process

for Mathematics.

life.

V. Mechanics

At the start of each academic year preferably first week of June before the

formal opening of the school year, the Dean calls for a meeting of the Subject

Coordinator for Mathematics and all concerned mathematics teachers to plan for the

implementation of the Instructional Program. Details of each activity are discussed and

preparations made as to who are to take charge and be responsible as well as other

concerns.

The Dean monitors the implementation and the subject coordinator makes a

report of the conduct of each activity.
