Abstract

The need to implement more vigorously new approaches in teaching and learning has become a necessity for education. It is essential to use new teaching approaches and strategies such that creating knowledge and developing skills will not only be easier but also more meaningful to students. One of the new approaches nowadays in the field of science is the algorithm approach. Thus, this study assesses the effectiveness of the algorithm approach in teaching Physics. The descriptive type of research was used with the questionnaire as the main instrument in gathering data. Respondents of the study were 42 science teachers from Batangas National High School for the school year 2017-2018. The statistical tool used in the study was weighted mean. The study revealed that algorithm approach was effective in teaching physics particularly in encouraging independent learning in problem solving, making students solve physics problems more easily, and arousing students’ curiosity.

Highlights

Studies have revealed that students achieve a higher level of performance and display more interest in the class and in the subject matter under the hands of highly competent teachers
Problem solving skills are important to be developed during the learning of physics
All teachers must have the knowledge and skills in the selection and use of effective teaching approaches and strategies that could cater to the needs of the 21st century learners
