Abstract

The study integrated the Charism Core Value of St. Paul University to the Mathematics Subject in Junior High School which is translated into a learning outcome pertaining to becoming a creative, resourceful explorer and problem solver. The junior high school students’ achievement of the mathematics learning competencies infused with the Charism core value was determined with the use of researcher-made questionnaires administered to 151 Science Class students enrolled in St. Paul University Surigao during the school year 2019-2020. Data gathered were analyzed using means and standard deviation. As a result, it was determined that the students under study achieved the creative mathematics outcomes and competencies to some extent. As to the specific indicators, the students under study were observed to be doing well at acknowledging points for improvement when solving problems to some extent compared to other indicators as they engaged in their mathematics classes. However, the same students were discovered to be weaker in terms of exhibiting giftedness as they translate mathematical knowledge into meaningful contexts.

Summary

INTRODUCTION

The Sisters of Paul of Chartres Education Ministry (2018) believes that the integration of values and spirituality in all the educational institutions' processes and programs was always a challenge to all the religious schools. This study explained the junior high school students’ achieved creative mathematics outcomes and competencies which mark the characteristics of mathematics education at St. Paul University Surigao and that in the end, the findings will provide support for recommendatory or intervening initiatives intended to improve students' mathematics achievement by improving teachers' pedagogy and values integration techniques. The DepEd Kto[12] Mathematics Education Twin Competency Goals namely, Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving Skills are alongside with the SPCEM and SPUS’ Charism Core Value and Graduate Attribute which explains that the study intended to join these two major variables to look into the students’ achievements in relation to these joined outcomes and competencies which characterized the mathematics education at St. Paul University Surigao. This study sought answers to the following questions: To what extent have the creative mathematics learning outcomes and competencies been achieved as perceived by the students under study?
