Abstract

This study used exploratory factor analysis to explore and compare Filipino and Taiwanese students' perception of effective mathematics teaching behaviors, which help students understand, focusing on the dimensions of representation, teaching methods, and problem-solving strategies employed by the teacher. Every dimension yielded two factors. On representation: Filipino students endorsed "formal and symbolic " and "concrete and real-life” similarly while Taiwanese students endorsed the second more. On teaching methods: "teacher-supported student active learning activities" and "teacher-led heuristic inquiry opportunities," and on problem-solving: "lecture centered approach" and "teacher-facilitated multiple self-discovery opportunities " where both countries endorsed the second factor higher than the first.
