Abstract:

This action research aimed to improve the proficiency in the four fundamental operations in mathematics of Grade Two SPED FL/GT pupils of Don Emilio Salumbides Elementary School through the implementation of Vedic Math techniques. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test to measure the effectiveness of the intervention. The results showed a significant improvement in the student’s performance in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.The undertaking utilized a pre-test and post-test design. The pre-test and post-test scores were measured through a t-test. This study utilized an experimental method in order to obtain the effect of the intervention. According to Salkind (2010), pre-test and post-test designs are employed in both experimental and quasi-experimental research and can be used with or without control groups. Furthermore, Biomquist (2003) states that in the case of reflexive comparison participants are reflexively compared to themselves before exposure to the program. Based on the result of the pretest the pupils gathered 70.00 as MPS. While the post-test results showed that the pupils got the MPS of 80.19. Solving word problems help learners to develop the skill of knowing when and how to apply classroom mathematical knowledge as well as everyday life when solving problems. This study had proven the effectiveness of the Implementation of Vedic Math Techniques in enhancing the skills of the pupils in solving mathematical problems in Grade Two SPED FL/GT pupils.
