ABSTRACT

This study aimed to assess the teaching and learning of the Quantitative Techniques in Business course as the basis for developing a proposed intervention program. Employing a descriptive research design, it examined the attainment of course objectives, coverage of course content, use of teaching and assessment strategies, and use of learning resources and facilities. The participants included teachers and students from public and private higher education institutions (HEIs) in Cagayan offering business, entrepreneurship, and accountancy programs. Results revealed that the participants assessed the teaching and learning of the course to a great extent across the identified dimensions. However, several challenges were identified, including the unavailability of software, lack of training and seminars, limited textbooks, and students’ weak mathematical foundation. Many students also cited the difficulty of memorizing numerous formulas. To address these issues, the study recommends integrating mathematical software into instruction and enhancing teacher training and learning resources to improve the overall teaching and learning of Quantitative Techniques in Business.
