Abstract

This study presents the topic needs in the Advanced Mathematics courses of the Bachelor in Secondary Education (BSE) program major in Mathematics. The study sought topics needed by prospective Mathematics teachers in the Secondary based on the Commission on Higher Education framework and the National Competency-Based Teacher Standards (NCBTS) for the BSE Program relative to the Philippine Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). It was found out that most of the topics in each of the courses offered in the program conform to the aforementioned standards. However, there are topics which were found to be less needed. Hence, a revisit to the existing course content is highly wanting through proper and correct benchmarking procedures. Moreover, the introduction of softwares in Mathematics, especially in Statistics, was also recommended.
