Abstract

This quasi-experimental research study aims to determine the effect of two teaching approaches—the concrete-representation-abstract approach and conventional approach—in enhancing the performance of students in Mathematics. Participants were grouped into a control group that was exposed to the conventional approach and experimental group that was exposed to the CRA approach. Pre-test and post-test of the two groups were gathered and analyzed using mean, paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Results revealed that there was no significant difference found between the pre-test mean scores of the experimental group and the control group. A significant difference was established between the pre-test and post-test mean scores of the students in both the control and experimental group. Lastly, there was a significant difference between the post-test mean scores of the control group and the experimental group while controlling the pre-test scores. It was also found out that the CRA approach had a higher mean score than the conventional teaching approach. Thus, the CRA approach found to be better than the conventional in enhancing students’ mathematics performance.
