Mathematics Teachers’ and Students’ Learning Evaluation for National Learning Camp: Basis for Supplementary YouTube Video Lessons

Abstract

The National Learning Camp (NLC) in the Philippines aims to bridge the learning gaps created by the COVID-19 epidemic. Therefore, this study evaluated the NLC based on the perspectives of the mathematics teachers and students who participated in the camp. An explanatory sequential design was employed to gather rich data. An evaluation form and interview guide questions were used to collect data subjected to content validation and pilot testing. The findings reveal that mathematics teachers and students evaluated the NLC effectively in learning activities, materials, support, and outcomes. However, mathematics teachers experienced challenges like errors in the printed materials, hard-to-contextualize lessons, broad topics, time-consuming preparation of instructional materials, and inappropriate learning content. Similarly, students experienced challenges such as unclear printed materials, too many lessons that needed to be covered, too much content, and challenging lessons. As an output, teacher-made supplementary YouTube video lessons are created based on the students’ suggestions to help those who participate in NLC for grade 7
