This research aimed to determine the employability of its graduates as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (BSM) program of a Philippine Higher Educational Institution. Adapting the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) Graduate Tracer Survey Questionnaire, the study provided data that were used as basis in the review and revision of the said program. Results of this research may be used to answer the needs of society by adjusting the curriculum to meet the needs of the 21<sup>st</sup> century learners, help prepare the students not only for the world of work and land relevant employment but also to innovate in the future. Results of the study were utilized to document the employment characteristics, transition to employment and the level of satisfaction of the fifty (50) BSM graduates in terms of the level of satisfaction of the school’s services, learning environment and facilities. The findings revealed that the graduates claimed their pre-service training under the BSM program helped them acquire 21<sup>st</sup> Century skills and competencies which were not only effective and adequate but also relevant in responding to the demands of their chosen occupations. Providing soft training on applied computer software, forming partnership with software developers, offering foreign language and major courses that merge machine learning and data science were some of the recommendations suggested by the graduates to further improve the BS Mathematics program.
This study aimed to examine the trend of performance of De La Salle Lipa (DLSL) education graduates in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). Quantitative trend analysis employed on the data collected from records officially released by the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) for the years 2011 to 2015 revealed that the performance of both elementary and secondary education passers were significantly higher than the national passing rates and showed a significant relationship between the graduates’ English proficiency and their LET- General Education performance. When grouped according to their profile, there were significant differences in the education graduates’ performance in terms of the year LET was taken, their GPA, and results of English Proficiency and Culture Fair Intelligence Tests but not in terms of their field of specialization. These results were considered in proposing a syllabus incorporating the strategies to further improve the program offerings of the Education Department particularly in terms of curriculum development, recruitment and selection of qualified students, continuous professional training for faculty, and more intensified LET review for the education graduates. Findings of the study showed that DLSL is eligible to qualify as a Center of Development in Teacher Education in the area of instructional quality.
This study involved an investigation of the effectiveness of the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach in developing mathematical communication and problem-solving skills of six children diagnosed with autism but classified as high functioning. The RME approach, a research-based instructional pedagogy based upon real-life experiences was implemented over the course of two months.
