INVESTIGATING THE IMPACT OF THE CONCRETE-PICTORIAL-ABSTRACT APPROACH ON STUDENTS’ LEVEL OF CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING, PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND PERFORMANCE
This study investigated the impacts of the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) teaching method on the level of comprehension and performance in the geometry of the grade seven students of the Mindanao State University-University Training Center, academic year 2023-2024. The researcher employed a one-sample pretest-posttest design among the respondents to measure the variables before and after applying the technique in teaching Mathematics. The results clearly showed that there was a significant improvement in their performances. Moreover, the respondents also specified the CPA approach with positive reviews, stating that it increased their confidence and enhanced their understanding of geometry, which may lead to better performance in Mathematics class. Therefore, the CPA technique is a successful strategy for raising math proficiency and learning; both the learners and mathematics teachers may gain substantial benefits.
