Abstract
Reviewing completed research studies aids research ecosphere to provide a conclusive and reliable bibliography; and it confirms a comprehensive generalization on the conducted researches along mathematics education. It aimed to systematically review the completed graduate mathematics education researches in SUCs in Region I to see the complete picture of the conducted researches in the region. Specifically, the researcher classified and characterized the graduate mathematics education researches in the region and identified the effect sizes of the researches. The researcher made used of the descriptive-quantitative method of research to systematically review the completed theses and dissertations in mathematics education. Specifically, a meta-analysis was done in some portions of the review. The following are the findings of the study: (1) the determinants of mathematics achievement of students have the greatest number of researches conducted by graduate mathematics students from the years 2007 to 2016. (2) Most of the conducted researches used correlation method of research and had a small to very small effect size index. (3) As consequence of the findings, a research mapping and a proposed research direction were crafted by the researcher for mathematics education future researchers. The results of the study tell that every university in the country should comprehensively choose research topics, monitor and guide their students who are enrolled in the graduate programs to avoid over saturation to research topics especially in mathematics education. In the light of the findings and conclusions, the researcher recommended that the constructed proposed research mappings and directions should be used as guide in thinking what research area/s will be undertaken by future mathematics education researchers.
Highlights
Mathematics education is necessary to improve the problem-solving and critical thinking skills of an individual
Effectiveness of teaching pedagogies (13 or 14.13%) and IMs in teaching mathematics (10 or 10.87%) were prevalent among the conducted researches because of the programs considered in the study were all under education of which the main goal is to improve teaching pedagogies of teachers and to help the school and the curriculum to meet the quality of education
It can be gleaned from the table that 12 or 35.29 percent of the 34 researches were concentrated to resource materials development which signifies that researchers along mathematics education showed interest in developing resource materials which can be used for teaching mathematics
Summary
Mathematics education is necessary to improve the problem-solving and critical thinking skills of an individual. It can be demarcated as an integral part of a curriculum since it is one of the major areas needed to be developed by learners. Refining education is one of the major trepidations of the current administration in the Philippines and lots of things should be considered to be competently accomplished such thing. We must elucidate and comprehend what we want to transform. This is why specialists and literati are making research and are creating new theories and concepts as their guides for such circumstances. Research helps teachers to cognize what approaches in
