Abstract:
The department is empowering teachers to integrate Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) across the K to 12 Basic Education Curriculum. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of computer-aided instruction in teaching quadratic functions to enhance the performance of Grade 9 students. Furthermore, it utilized the Quasi-experimental design with the Grade 9 students of Narvacan National Central High School for School Year 2017-2018 as the respondents. Additionally, it used mean, standard deviation, and t-test for independent samples for data analysis. The researcher adopted the 30-item pretest and post test for quadratic functions from the K to 12 Grade 9 Learners’ Module. The results revealed that computer-aided instruction in teaching quadratic functions is extremely effective in improving the experimental group\'s performance. Meanwhile, the traditional method of teaching has also a positive gain in enhancing student’s performance. Hence, the use of Computer-aided Instruction is more effective in improving students’ learning in quadratic functions. Therefore, this study recommended that educators adapt the computer-aided instruction in teaching not only in Mathematics but in all subject areas across the curriculum.
