TEACHER’S PERCEPTION ON RESNICK’S IDEA

Response Frequency percentage


Agree 20 100
Disagree 0 0
Total 20 100

Table 1 presents the frequency and percentage in terms of teacher’s perception on


Resnick’s idea.

As shown in the table, Agree ranked first with a frequency of 20 or 100% and Disagree
0.

It implied that the majority of the respondents believe that “in-school learning” offers
new concepts and theories that is very different than “out-of-school learning”.
Therefore, teachers should help bridge the gap between the two types of learning. 1

TEACHER’S PERCEPTION ON CONSTRUCTIVIST PRINCIPLES

Response Frequency percentage


Agree 18 90
Disagree 2 10

Table 2 presents the frequency and percentage in terms of Teacher’s perception on


Constructivist Principles

As reflected in the table, Agree ranked first with a frequency of 18 or 90% and Disagree
with a frequency of 2 or 10%.

It signified that PBL is considered a constructivist approach to instruction because it


emphasizes collaborative and self-directed learning while being supported by tutor
facilitation. (Yew and Schmidt)
Table 3

TEACHER’S PERCEPTION ON PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING

Response Frequency percentage


Agree 8 40
Disagree 12 60
Total 20 100

Table 3 presents the frequency and percentage in terms of Teacher’s perception on


Problem-Based Learning

As can be gleaned in the table, Disagree ranked first with a frequency of 12 or 60% and
Agree with a frequency of 8 or 40%.

This indicated that problem-based learning is not too time consuming and students can
solve and discover facts. According to Jonassen & Hung, 2008, PBL is a student-
centered, inquiry-based instructional model in which learners engage with an authentic,
ill-structured problem that requires further research.

TEACHER’S PERCEPTION ON PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING

Response Frequency percentage


Embrace 17 85
Discarded 3 15
Total 20 100

Table 4 presents the frequency and percentage in terms of Teacher’s perception on


Problem-Based Learning.

As manifested in the table, Embrace ranked first with a frequency of 17 or 85% and
Discarded with a frequency of 3 or 15%.

It is conveyed that Problem-Based learning should be embraced by the generation of


teachers, for PBL fosters deep learning by relating the concept they study with
everyday activities and enhance their knowledge and understanding which has been
augmented in the study of Olabisi Olaoye1 and Emmanuel O. Adu “Problem-based
Learning Strategies and Gender as Determinant of Grade 9 Students’ Academic
Achievement in Algebra” This study proved that problem solving is a more effective
method of instruction for teaching and learning mathematics especially algebra as
compared to conventional (lecture) method of teaching. Therefore the teachers of
mathematics should use problem solving method to improve the academic
achievements of the students.
