Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of Context Orientated Teaching in Mathematics concerning grade 9 students’ performance levels. This study used Solomon’s four-group design to assess whether there is an interaction between the treatment and its performance from the pre-test to its performance in the post-test. It shows that both pretested groups established a significant mean gain from pre-test to post-test, such between mean gains showed no significant mean difference. On the other end, performance levels among the four groups showed significant outcomes, which were dominated by the experimental non-pretested group. In other words, Context Orientated Teaching in Mathematics is better than the traditional instructional approach. Context Orientated Teaching showed enough evidence not only of students’ interest in mathematics but also a feeling of being part of real-life situations. The best experience of contextualization in learning mathematics is nonetheless the partition of mathematical context as well as mathematical conceptual context. Therefore, Context Orientated Teaching in Mathematics gives necessary skills for the students to be equipped with the strategy on how to start an appropriate solution to real-life problems in a natural way, which keep them within the proximity of both practical and theoretical as far as learning mathematics is a concern.
