Abstract :
This study employs Design Research that aims
to develop teaching material in Mathematics in the
Modern World (GECMAT) based on the students’
learning styles and mathematics performance during the
midterm period of the first semester of the school year
2018 – 2019. The participants of study were the 216 First
Year Students taking Bachelor of Science in Industrial
Technology of CHMSC major in Architectural and
Drafting, Automotive, Fashion & Apparel, Food &
Trades, Electronics, Electrical, Refrigeration & Air
conditioning and Mechanical Technology, who are
officially enrolled in Mathematics in the Modern World.
The gathering of data for the study was through the use
of two researcher-made questionnaires, namely, the
Learning Style Questionnaire (LSQ) and the
Performance in Mathematics Questionnaire (PMQ),
which underwent validity and reliability. The study
reveals that the dominant learning style of the students is
visual; however, the second dominant learning style,
which is auditory, has the highest mean performance in
mathematics. Generally, the student's performance in
mathematics was Average when taken as a whole and to
the topics Nature of Mathematics, Language of
Mathematics, and Data Analysis. However, students'
performance in Problem Solving was Low. The audiovideo presentation, practice sheets, and PowerPoint
presentation are the teaching materials developed based
on the findings. The teaching materials mean values
gained excellent acceptability as perceived by the
teachers and students. School administrators may
influence teachers in promoting an environment
favorable for learning and encourage teachers to pay
attention to students' diverse learning styles and
mathematical performance since these directly impact
their mathematical knowledge.
