Abstract

This thesis entitled, “Influence of Recreational Activities on enhancing learners creativity and performance in mathematics,” aimed to determine the influence of recreational activities on enhancing learners creativity and performance in mathematics. It followed the order of objectives enumerated as follows: to find out the level of recreational activities and learners creativity Assess the learners level of performance difference between the learners performance in terms of pre-assessment and assessment significant influence of recreational activities on enhancing learners creativity and performance in Mathematics. Descriptive method of the research was used to be able to observe a large mass of target population and make required conclusions about the variables. The primary respondents were the selected one hundred forty (140) Grade 7 – learners of Don Manuel Rivera Memorial National High School, Pila, Laguna, S.Y. 2023-2024. The level of recreational activities was remarked as extremely effective, while level of learners creativity was very high. The learners level of performance during pre-assessment perceived a verbal interpretation of fairly satisfactory, while the level of learners performance during post-assessment was marked as very satisfactory. Moreover, the result revealed that there is a difference between the learners performance in terms of pre-assessment and post-assessment. Furthermore, this study found out that recreational activities have influence on enhancing learners creativity and performance in mathematics. Based on the findings above, the following conclusions were hereby drawn. There a significant difference between the learners performance in terms of pre-assessment and assessment. Recreational activities have a significant influence on enhancing learners creativity and performance in mathematics. Therefore, both hypotheses stated were rejected. This indicates that recreational activities have positively influenced students comprehension and mastery of mathematical concepts. These activities which encompass interactive and collaborative games and simulations provide an engaging and dynamic learning environment. In the formulated conclusions from the findings, it was recommended that Mathematics teachers may integrate and utilize recreational activities so that they can create a learning environment that is more interactive, immersive, collaborative, participative and integrative. Also, learners may enjoy and be eager to participate in different recreational activities to deeply understand mathematics concept and effectively enhance mathematical skills into a fun and convenient way. Moreover, future researchers may conduct studies regarding the utilization of recreational activities to further develop and create more engaging and effective activities that would enhance and nurture learners creativity and performance in mathematics.
