Improving Mathematics Achievement of Students with Varied Social Skills through Team-Pair-Solo Strategy (TPSS)

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the effect of Team-Pair-Solo Strategy (TPSS) as a teaching strategy on the mathematics achievement of students with varied social skills. It utilized the single group pretest – posttest pre – experimental design. Through convenience sampling, one intact class consisting of 32 second year Bachelor of Arts in International Studies (BAIS) students who were enrolled at the San Beda College Alabang during the second semester of SY 2018 – 2019 was involved in the study. Seven instruments were used namely, the Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT), Social Skills Rating Scale (SSRS), TPSS Lesson Guides, TPSS Activities, and Classroom Observation Guide (COG). The result of the study revealed that the sample class was composed of three different levels of social skills based on the SSRS and these are high, moderate, and low. There is a significant difference between the MAT pretest and posttest scores of the students that indicates that the students had better scores after they were exposed to TPSS. Furthermore, there is a significant difference in the achievement of students in the posttest after their exposure to TPSS across social skills. The data results revealed that there is a significant difference between the mathematics achievement of students with high level of social skills and students with low level of social skills. The students who have high social skills outperformed those who have low social skills. Therefore, using TPSS as a teaching strategy tends to encourage students to engage in mathematics learning and helped them improve their achievement in mathematics
