Abstract :

The study integrated the Charism Core Value of St. Paul University to the Mathematics Subject in Junior High School which is translated into a learning outcome pertaining to becoming a creative, resourceful explorer and problem solver. The junior high school students’ achievement of the mathematics learning competencies infused with the Charism core value was determined with the use of researcher-made questionnaires administered to 151 Science Class students enrolled in St. Paul University Surigao during the school year 2019-2020. Data gathered were analyzed using means and standard deviation. As a result, it was determined that the students under study achieved the creative mathematics outcomes and competencies to some extent. As to the specific indicators, the students under study were observed to be doing well at acknowledging points for improvement when solving problems to some extent compared to other indicators as they engaged in their mathematics classes. However, the same students were discovered to be weaker in terms of exhibiting giftedness as they translate mathematical knowledge into meaningful contexts.
