Abstract

The study focuses on improving calculus education through the interleaving approach, aligning with CFT's emphasis on adaptability and problem-solving. This study is anchored in the Cognitive Flexibility Theory (CFT), which posits that students must engage with new material from multiple perspectives and with flexible thought processes to develop higher-order thinking skills and beneficial affective changes. The research investigates the effectiveness of interleaving in improving calculus learning outcomes among 46 students of BSED 2 Mathematics students at Central Philippines State University during the 2023-2024 academic year. Using a quasi-experimental design, the study compares the learning outcomes of the traditional approach and interleaving approach through pre-test and post-test assessments using the Mann-Whitney U-test as a tool. The results revealed that before the intervention, participants from both interleave and blocked approaches had low levels of performance. After the intervention was given, it was found that the blocked approach improves to high level while interleaved improved to a very high level of performance. Interleaved practice sessions into educational strategies were essential for maximizing learning outcomes and providing practical recommendations for educators to enhance calculus instruction
