Chapter 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Mathematics subject is one of the subjects learned in Schools and Universities, it

is one of the basic educational components that require students to be skilled and

understand for the various methods used to structure lives in our daily living. Suddenly,

at the end of 2019, the world was shocked by the initiation of the coronavirus in Wuhan,

one of the cities in China, which eventually spread to different countries worldwide.

Therefore, on January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared this

outbreak as a Public Health Emergency. Educational systems have been affected greatly

by global technological changes. By changing needs and living conditions, the

Department of Education (Deped) and Commission on Higher Education (CHED)

attempts to seek solutions to the problems in education highlight online distance

education as an alternative to the existing practices. Online education has become an

important educational model in globalizing world of today and can provide quality

education (Carey, 2020).

Moreover, technology has become one of the best essential tools of learning for

doing mathematics in today’s world especially in the time of pandemic. It can be used in

a variation of ways to enhance and improve the learning of mathematics that operates to

have mainly successful and effective learning (OECD,2020). Future Educator can

highlight the technology to facilitate mathematical problem solving, reasoning,

communication, and even proofs, technology can provide students with opportunities to

explore different representations of mathematical ideas and support them in making

connections both within and outside of mathematics (NRC, 2000).

In the study conducted by Chieu and Herbst (2016) revealed that the teachers are

using video records for teaching mathematics to create a series of exploration and

animation for engaging the learners to have presence for conducting an online forum

discussion. The online participants were encouraged to have knowledge and be more

active to know the importance of online education.

However, according to Morewood, Ankrum & Bean (2010), in their study in

Turkey and about Online Mathematics Teaching, Educational systems have been affected

greatly by global technology changes and the resulting reform initiatives. As an outcome,

technology has become more common in learning environments of today’s generation

(Roblyer, 2006). It provides learners with the opportunity to receive education at a lower

cost and offers a more effective learning environment independent of time and space.

Due to the opportunities and flexibility, it provides for individuals and societies, online

distance learning has become a globally-preferred option (Newby et al., 2006).

 These findings from the researcher, encourages the researchers to investigate the

impacts of online education to prepare future Mathematics Teachers to teach Math in

Bataan Peninsula State University-Dinalupihan, Campus. Through this study, the

adjustment and possible technique of students would be implemented to the future online

learning to access well-designed learning plan for the students so that they can easily

cope up with the lessons and be more effective using technology. Furthermore, this

research wants to educate and help the future Mathematics Teacher to understand what

works and why through online learning is possible to have in the education, what the

short and long-term implications are. From a significant perspective, this study ought to

contribute for the preparation of future Educator to teach Mathematics. In addition, the

study wants to give information and techniques that learner may adopt toward online

education learning.
Statement of the problem

The general problem of this study is to determine the impacts of online education

to prepare future high-school teacher to teach mathematics in BPSU-Dinalupihan

Campus.

Specifically, the study seeks answer to the following questions:

1. How may the profile of the respondents be described in terms of:

1.1 Age;

1.2 Sex; and

1.3 Civil Status?

2. How may the teaching of Mathematics in online education of the respondents be

described in terms of:

2.1 Presentation of the lesson;

2.2 Technology Integration; and

2.3 Assessment of learning?

3. What are the possible ways of online education in the future high school teacher

to teach Mathematics?

4. Is there a significant difference in teaching Mathematics when the respondents are

grouped according to their profile?

 5. Which among the variables greatly affects the preparation of future high school

teacher to teach mathematics in online education?

Significance of the study

This study will be undertaken to find put the classroom management techniques

rendered by the future Mathematics teacher in Bataan Peninsula State University-

Dinalupihan Campus and to measure the effectiveness through the strategies of the

students.

The Students. The research benefits the students to understand the concept of a

research paper. Any improvement of the paper can continue having a technique and better

learning to give the process of research to collect data and selecting a topic.

Parents. The parents would be able to know if the online education teaching is

very effective to their child. And also, to know what are the factors that can harden their

learning.

The Teacher. This study will be beneficial to the teachers specially to the

teachers who are still searching for reference in using techniques to have a better

discussion with the topic. Through this research, teacher build understanding with the

resources and techniques of having a professional support. Effectiveness of Mathematics

teachers can also be their basis and pattern that can help them with their research for it to

have strong foundation.

 Curriculum Maker. The outcome of the study may serve as a basis for possible

innovation that may strength the teacher program suited to the need of the students.

Future Researchers. The ideas presented may be used as reference data in

conducting new researches and serve in testing the validity of other related findings. This

study will also compose of findings wherein serve as their reference that will give them a

background or an overview to continue with the information and topic that are given.
Scope and Delimitation

The study primarily focused on the impact of online education to prepare future

high-school Teacher to teach Mathematics in Bataan Peninsula State University at

Dinalupihan Campus.

The factors identified in the study are considered to be related to the problem such

as their age, sex, year level and economic status.

In all Bachelor of Secondary Education major in Math students of Bataan

Peninsula State University-Dinalupihan Campus, fifty students are randomly selected and

each of the respondents is given same questionnaire to answer.
