ABSTRACT
The post-lockdown period of the COVID-19 pandemic brought the academe into what is called the new normal education. This resulted in several academic challenges and prompted different schools’ divisions in the region to institutionalize mathematics curriculum programs such as the Enhanced Mathematics Teaching and Learning Program (Project EMTAP) as implemented by SDO Isabela. Hence, this study aimed to analyze the impact of Project EMTAP on SDO Isabela learners’ mathematics performance. It is also driven to explore the impact of the learning facilitator’s profile on the performance of learners in mathematics and determine the challenges encountered by the districts and the solutions they made during the implementation of the program. The findings showed that the implementation of Project EMTAP is effective in improving the mathematics performance of the learners. Furthermore, the students’ mathematics performance is inversely associated with the learning facilitator’s position, years in service, and the number of trainings attended. The result suggests that younger learning facilitators tend to be more effective in delivering learning sessions since these younger educators are more capable of adapting to the shift in learning modalities. Implementing districts of the program also identified two main problems during their conduct: clientele participation problems and program resources problems.
