USE OF MANIPULATIVE MATERIALS

AND MULTIMEDIA (ICT) IN TEACHING


SCIENCE AND MATH
Mrs. Virginia D. Calosing
Culiat Elementary School
BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
Most teachers use the usual and traditional
method of teaching to present their lessons
(i.e. “chalk talk and use of manila paper)

Lack of interest, boredom,


minimal learner‟s participation

Moved the administration and faculty to


utilize manipulative materials and multimedia
to improve teaching of Math and Science
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

To enhance teacher competencies, learning


approaches, methodologies, strategies and
techniques through the use of manipulative materials
and multimedia in teaching Math and Science

To enrich learner‟s concepts and skills in Science and


Math through manipulative materials and multimedia

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
COMPLETION REPORT
PART ONE
ISSUES ADDRESSED
 Improvement of teacher competencies in Science
and Math

 Traditional way of teaching inadequately addresses


the need of the students

 Poor motivation and engagement of students in


studying Math and Science  lead to low
performance

Exploring the use of manipulative


materials and multimedia (ICT) may
provide an answer to these problems

Answer
“They are able to improve
their bodily-kinesthetic skills “Children are more
and all of them passed the attentive and curious
quiz given after using the about the lesson and it
manipulatives/ICT” enables them to think
critically”
“They enjoy it while
doing it at the same “Since it is more “flexible” than
time” just Manila papers and chalk
talk, it addresses different
learning styles and keeps
“It encourages shy students engaged”
pupils to participate
especially in “Processing of information is
groupwork” easier and retention is high;
coupled with other techniques,
“Students can students learn to reason out and
follow easily” practice other thinking skills
(observing, communicating,
predicting)”

NATURE AND AVAILABILITY OF RESOURCES
 Resources are teacher and student made
manipulative materials

 Raw materials for manipulatives: commercial,


indigenous and recycled

 Multimedia: computer, television set, projector

 Multimedia were made available by generous


sponsors (Knowledge channel, Leaders and
Educators in Asia Program, ACED)
PART TWO
RESULTS

The project addressed the


need to improve teacher
competency which led to the
improvement of student
performance
RESULTS
 Annual evaluation  NAT increased during
implementation year

 Good results in Math and Science competitions

 Improvement of participation of students

 Enhanced competencies of teachers in teaching


Math and Science as seen in lesson plans and
classroom observations

 Presence of “resource bank” for better


implementation of the project was made available to
teachers

 Computer literacy of teachers increased


Teachers update their knowledge in using the computer
through the “School Learning Action Cell” (SLAC)
DATA
 The following data show the effectiveness of the
project:
 Results of the NAT SY 2007-2009
 Teacher‟s lesson plans

COLLABORATION

 Proper channeling was done. The implementers


conduct regular discussion/feedback on the project.

 The project became a venue for the principal, master


teachers, department heads and teachers to work
together in improving the way Science and Math are
taught.
Monthly Lesson Study and Demo Teaching
REFLECTION
 As the principal, the improvement of the
methodologies of teaching and the results of the
evaluation of the two subject areas are a big
contribution to the school.

 In addition, there was a boost of morale through the


enhancement done during the years of
implementation.

 Objectives of the project were easily attained


EFFECT ON PARTICIPANTS
 Each teacher was empowered to contribute in
developing and sustaining the project.

 Using manipulative materials and multimedia


challenged their usual methods and made them go
out of their comfort zones to try out a different way
of approaching lessons.

 It also enhanced their creativity and


resourcefulness.
TO SUMMARIZE…
 The use of manipulatives and ICT to teach Science
and Math helped improve student performance.

 Teachers became much more aware of the


innovations in teaching especially the use of
manipulative materials and multimedia (ICT).

 Pupils also manifested more interest in learning the


two subjects.
PART THREE
POLICY OPTIONS
 Continuous implementation of the project and wide
dissemination of the results to other schools within
the district if not in the division

 Within the school, teachers could add more


manipulative materials to the resource bank

 Regular workshops to share best practices and new


knowledge regarding manipulative materials and
trends on multimedia
POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
 Division-wide implementation of the project to
enhance the whole system and curriculum is
recommended.
