Abstract

Pangkalahatang layunin ng pag-aaral na malaman kung may espasyo ang Filipino sa klase ng Matematika.   Ginawa ang sumusunod na hakbang upang maisakatuparan ang pag-aaral: pagmamasid sa mga klase; pagsasagawa ng focus group discussion at pakikipanayam sa mga guro at mag-aaral; at mula rito ay makabubuo ng mungkahing patakarang pangwika. Sa isinagawang pagmamasid ng mananaliksik, lumabas na may mga pagkakataong gumagamit pa rin ang mga mag-aaral at guro (malay o di-malay) ng Filipino sa asignaturang Matematika. Maituturing ito bilang wikang pantulong sa iba't ibang yugto ng klase sa Matematika. Pinatunayan ng pananaliksik na ito na (1) May espasyo ang Filipino sa Matematika bilang wikang pantulong; (2) Napadadali ang pagtalakay sa Matematika sa tulong ng Filipino; at (3)Ang pagpapairal ng patakarang pangwika ay kailangan upang maisakatuparan ang ganap na espasyo ng Filipino sa paaralan. Iminumungkahi na ipatupad ang mungkahing patakarang pangwika na nabuo batay sa resulta ng pananaliksik.  

Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the suitability of the Filipino language as a helping tool in teaching Mathematics. The researcher accomplished the following: observation of classes; focus group discussions and interview of selected students and teachers; and formulated the proposed language policy for Mathematics. Based on the data gathered, the following conclusions were formulated: (1) Filipino language is suitable as a helping tool in teaching Mathematics (2) The teacher is able to explain important Mathematical concepts easily in Filipino. (3) The implementation of language policy in Mathematics is needed to determine the usefulness of the Filipino language. The researcher recommends implementing the language policy that was developed by the researcher based on this study.
