ABSTRACT

This study delved into the comprehensive understanding of students' numeracy skills and how a particular approach improves the learners' ability to work with various mathematical tasks or problems. The researcher introduced the integration of the Design Thinking (DT) Model as a teaching tool to boost the performance of the students on a specific Math competency, especially on Conic Sections. The quantitative method was used specifically for pre-and post-test design and students' attitudes on the use of the Design Thinking Model while the qualitative method was applied for the Focus Group Discussion on the problems and challenges they encountered on the use of the Design Thinking Model. A total enumeration of 119 Grade 11 Students was considered as respondents of the study. The findings revealed that students have a very favorable attitude toward the use of the DT model as a teaching technique, thus obtaining significant differences between the pre and post-scores. Furthermore, the result showed a high performance or extent of learning after implementing the model. Hence, it can be reported that by applying the DT approach, students demonstrated high academic achievement in critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, and independence.
