Development of Contextualized Teaching Through Problem-Solving (TTP) Lesson Plan in Measurement
Main Article Content
Abstract
The lack of contextualized Teaching Through Problem-Solving (TTP) lesson plans hinders the effective use of problem-solving as a teaching strategy. This study developed and evaluated contextualized TTP lesson plans in measurement for Grade 7 students in Northern Mindanao using the ADDIE model. Analysis, design, and development were guided by teacher insights and reviewed by TTP practitioners using a table of specifications, with three iterative cycles yielding positive feedback aligned with contextualization, the TTP framework, and the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs). The implementation revealed limited student progress, underscoring the significance of lesson refinement. Thematic analysis of student experiences and focus group discussions with teachers indicated that the lesson plans fostered engagement, collaboration, and critical thinking, but challenges with reading comprehension, time management, and unequal participation were noted. These findings suggest that integrating mathematical problems into locally relevant contexts enhances TTP effectiveness, but careful alignment with core TTP components is essential for optimal learning outcomes.
