This study assesses the performance of
Mathematics Teachers in teaching the subject adapting
the spiral progression approach. With the recent
implementation of K to 12 curriculum based on RA
10533 or the Philippine Enhanced Basic Education Act,
the need to assess the performance of Mathematics
teachers arise and must be addressed. Through cluster
sampling technique, 36 Mathematics classroom teachers
and 21 principals in 10 clusters were identified as
respondents on this investigation. This study used the
descriptive and exploratory data analysis applying the
multivariate principal component analysis to determine
the extent of effects of the variables measured to the
Mathematics teachers’ teaching performance by means
of the new spiral progression approach. Results revealed
that Mathematics teachers’ years of service or teaching,
numbers of seminars and trainings attended, teaching
loads and even their ages affect their level of teaching
performance in Mathematics while gender and
educational attainment has a minimal effect on their
teaching performance while utilizing spiral progression
approach and various pedagogies in delivering the
content knowledge. Furthermore, the Mathematics
teachers nowadays have poor level of instruction and
mastery of content using spiral progression approach.
Hence, policy on Mathematics teachers’ selection and
recruitment and trainings to be implemented must be
revisited and should focus on these needs. Intensive
enhancement program annually to these field teachers
must be implemented conscientiously.
