Abstract
AbstractThis study explored the enhancement of strategic mechanism in teaching numeracy for grade schooler in New Ilocos Elementary School, New Ilocos Magsaysay Davao del Sur and does these strategies affect the leaning trajectory of teachers in teaching numeracy. This study used phenomenological approach on how teachers encountered challenges in teaching numeracy for grade schoolers, applied strategic mechanism in teaching mathematics to address the challenges encountered by teachers and the insight of teachers in applying the strategies towards their students. In exploring the experiences of the eight (8) participants, I employed the qualitative - phenomenological study of which primary instrument of data gathering was through in-depth interview. The following themes appear namely, student's adverse perception regarding numeracy, sustaining studentsattention and modifying instruction to meet leamers need. In terms of how strategic mechanism applied by teachers in teaching mathematics, the themes that were generated was, deliberate practice and drill, visual representation, and play way technique. Likewise, there were two main themes emerged about teacher's insight upon applying the strategies towards their students namely, developing students learning skills in mathematics and motivate students in leaming numeracy. Increased interest in data on the effectiveness of educational methods has resulted from the desire to improve leaming outcomes with less resources. Finally, it implies that when educators work together, they form important professional and individual relationships. Teachers often draw support from each other as well as from the school principals and can represent tasks that allow each teacher to feel effective. Teamwork between teachers contributes to school improvement and student success.Keywords: Mathematics, numeracy, strategic mechanism, learning trajectory
