Trigonometry as a subject can be difficult to comprehend especially on proving identities and solving trigonometric functions. It is important that a teacher must incorporate a teaching style which could help students better comprehend the subject. Convergent mastery technique is a recommended technique for better mastery and comprehension. To provide empirical facts on the effect of convergent mastery technique in teaching Trigonometry to junior-high-school students, this study was conducted. This study used a quasi-experimental design called the pre-test-post-test control design. The participants were the two heterogeneous sections of the third-year level of Stella Maris Academy of Davao. The tool in this study used is a 40-item teacher-made test with 17 items for the topic “The Fundamental Trigonometric Identities” and 23 items for the topic “Verifying Trigonometric Identities.” This instrument was used in the pre-test and post-test to measure the achievement of the students both in the experimental and the control group. The data gathered were summarized, translated, and analyzed using the mean scores for both pre-test and post-test. At 0.05 level of significance, the t-test was used to find a significant difference between the experimental and control groups. Findings show the significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores as well as the mean gain scores of the two groups. Thus, convergent mastery technique is an operational strategy in improving the academic achievement of students and is recommended to be used in teaching mathematics or in any discipline.Keywords—Mathematics Education, effectiveness of convergent mastery technique, high school trigonometry, quasi-experimental design, Davao City, Philippines

This study attempts to determine whether gamification can be used as a pedagogical technique to overcome the challenges in teaching statistics. A post-test quasi-experimental design was carried out in gamified and non-gamified groups in order to reveal the effect of gamification elements in cultivating students’ statistical literacy skills. Students in gamified group were also interviewed to understand the function of gamification process. The results suggest that; although gamifying the instructional process had a positive impact on developing students’ statistical literacy in medium and high score students; surprisingly the influence of the gamification to the low- achieved scores were not positive. The positive impact was discussed in accordance with the gradual structure of statistical literacy and suggestions for successful gamification applications due to the context were included.

Studies have pointed to the benefits of physical activity (PA), yet the level of PA participation among preschoolers islow. This in turn could have resulted in the limited research literature on the PA level or physical educationcurriculum (PEC) of preschool children. Those reviewed here are mostly from countries in the West, as those fromAsia are unavailable. To fill this gap, the present study was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of a formalPEC on the physical ability of a sample of five-year old children from several preschools in Singapore. Using aPhysical Ability Assessment (PAA) tool with five variables, a pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design was usedto measure the effectiveness of the PEC with control and experimental groups for the comparative analysis. Theresults of the PAA are presented and the implications from the findings and analysis are discussed.
