Madam;
Greetings of Peace!
We are bona fide students of Batangas State University TNEU JPLPC-Malvar taking
up Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Mathematics. We are presently conducting a
study entitled, “Mathematical Proficiency of Pre-Service Teachers”
In this regard, we would like to respectfully request permission from your good office
to allow us to adapt your research questionnaire from your study entitled, “Assessing
Mathematical Proficiency of Elementary School Teachers” dated, 2019 to use in our study.
We are hoping for your favorable response and wholehearted consideration regarding this
matter. Thank you very much and more power.
