Abstract


This project started in 2019 as a response to the request of the Alternative Learning System (ALS) focal person in the division of Cagayan de Oro City. After that, a needs-analysis instrument was administered to measure the competence of ALS implementers to teach particular math topics in high school. This served as the basis for the 2019 extension project. Due to the training’s success and outstanding rating, it was scaled up to the whole DepEd-Region X, covering 14 Division Offices in the year 2020. In this year’s training, the flexible learning modality of USTP was adopted using the USTP e-Portal (USTeP) because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The ALS implementers were divided into seven blocks, and each block was trained for one month. A pre-test on selected mathematics topics was conducted before and after the training. Results show a significant increase in the post-test scores of the participants. Hence, this project will continue this year, considering the positive outcome of the previous training.
