ABSTRACT

—— This study aimed to determine the extent of utilization of innovative mathematics teaching strategies and the personal performance rating in Instructional Performance in Teaching Mathematics of Public School Teachers during the school year 2025-2026. This study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design with 105 Secondary Mathematics Public School Teachers as the respondents. An adapted survey questionnaire was utilized. Employing weighted means to get the extent of utilization of different innovative mathematics teaching strategies and the personal performance rating of the teacher’s instructional performance. A chisquare test of independence was performed to examine the relation between the extent of utilization of innovative mathematics teaching strategies and the self-assessed instructional performance rating of teachers based on the identified key results areas (KRAs). The study’s empirical findings revealed that most of the teachers’ profiles correlated directly with the utilization of innovative mathematics strategies. However, it does not correlate with age and civil status. Also, some profiles of the teachers correlate with the self-assessed instructional performance rating of teachers based on the identified key results areas (KRAs); only civil status and highest educational attainment were determined as not statistically significant. Lastly, it was proven that there is a significant relationship between the extent of utilization of innovative mathematics teaching strategies and the self-assessed instructional performance rating of teachers based on the identified key results areas (KRAs). Based on the findings of the study, the researchers concluded that the profile of the mathematics teachers may influence the utilization of innovative mathematics teaching strategies. The same way in their instructional practices, based on the identified key results areas (KRAs). Hence, the utilization of the proposed mathematics teaching professional development plan to further enhance the utilization of innovative mathematics teaching strategies of the teachers is recommended.
