Abstract:
The study aimed to determine the least learned competencies in Grade-XI Pre-Calculus as bases to develop instructional materials. The participants of the study were the Grade-XI students of Caraga State University-Senior High School taking Pre-Calculus as their mathematics subject during the first semester of the academic year 2017-2018. A descriptive research design was used in this study. The research instrument used was a diagnostic test questionnaire to identify the performance of Grade-XI students in Pre-Calculus. Using Frequency which determined the number of correct answers of the Grade-XI students in each item in the questionnaire and Percentage which identified the top least learned competency of the Grade-XI students across first quarter topics in Pre-Calculus. These statistical treatments helped to determine the top least learned competencies of Grade-XI Pre-Calculus. Furthermore, the result of the diagnostic test of the students in the three sections showed that more than half of the participants have difficulty in answering higher-order thinking type of questions, specifically in conic sections. This means that the researchers should develop instructional materials which are all about higher-order thinking types of activities depending on the top least learned competencies.
