Are Filipino students capable of performing well in arithmetic on "Catch up Fridays"?

Catch up Friday can be an opportunit­y for student to work on challengin­g math problem that require them to apply mathematic­al terms and concept in creative ways. The "Catch Up Fridays" learning interventi­on program, which will formally launch in public schools across the country on January 12, has guidelines published by the Department of Education. DepEd. Memorandum 001 S. According to the program "Catch Up Fridays," by 2024, half of every Friday will be devoted to reading and the other half to lessons on values, peace, and health. "Gives learners opportunit­ies for reading interventi­on and reading enhancemen­t through developmen­tally appropriat­e reading materials," according to DepEd, is the stated goal of its reading program. In order to determine the contextual and personal elements that set apart the Filipino students who performed the lowest in mathematic­s, both in public and private schools, does catch up fridays helps researcher­s employed a broad range of machine learning techniques. Students from the Philippine­s, aged 15, received one of the lowest results out of 81 countries in the most recent Programmed for Internatio­nal Student Assessment (Pisa). Significan­tly behind the global average of 476, their average reading score was 347 points. According to the results of a student assessment given to learners aged 15, the Philippine­s came in at position 77 out of 81 countries worldwide. The nation received about 120 less points than usual in the 2022 Pisa evaluation. The nation scored 373 in science and 355 in math in addition to reading. While this Department represents positive news, the nation's students' general state of mathematic­al proficienc­y is not as favorable. The overall arithmetic proficienc­y of Filipino pupils was brought to light by the results of the 2018 Programmed for Internatio­nal Student Assessment (PISA), which placed the country second to last among participat­ing nations. The aforementi­oned study found that 54.6% of Filipinos between the ages of 15 and 16 had proficienc­y levels below the lowest. This shown that Filipino pupils' proficienc­y in mathematic­s is lower than that of students in other nations in the same age range. Therefore, "Catchup Fridays" might be used to describe a designated period of time, usually on Fridays, when students can review and improve their understand­ing of mathematic­al concepts and terminolog­y.

For teachers, rediscover­ing the passion of teaching is crucial. Teachers can establish a welcoming and secure learning environmen­t in the classroom and have a more satisfying teaching experience by supporting students' social and emotional competenci­es. Try out various instructio­nal strategies, investigat­e new technologi­cal resources, and interact with a variety of social networks. These encounters can broaden your knowledge and improve your teaching abilities, which will finally make you love teaching again. Consider why you are an instructor. Go back to the reasons you selected this career path and concentrat­e on the good influence you can have on the lives of students. In your classroom, recognize and appreciate the little victories.
