What is AghaMasa?
What is AghaMasa?
As schools transition to face-to-face classes from two years of full-online learning, bridging the gap of understanding in major subjects like Math and Science is a challenge for teachers, parents, and students. AghaMasa is a project focused on improving the understanding and skills of fifth-grade students in Mathematics and Science (specifically in Physics) to fill in the gaps of understanding fundamental lessons discussed at the fifth-grade level.
Objectives
AghaMasa aims to determine the root cause of the lack of proficiency in Mathematics and Science (focusing on Physics) at the fifth-grade level to provide academic and curricular support to students and teachers of a particular community.
More specifically, the project aims to...
Relate the situation of the chosen community with the current situation of Grade 5 students in terms of Physics and Mathematics learning with other public schools in the Philippines
Explain the implications of the pandemic to Filipino students’ abilities in Mathematics and Physics
Assist in teaching Grade 5 Mathematics & Physics topics by collaborating with teachers, guiding students facing difficulties in these topics, and diagnosing notable problems in the curriculum.
