Abstract:
In the context of implementing the 2018 General Education Curriculum, the management of Mathematics teaching in lower secondary schools requires a systematic, data-driven approach oriented toward continuous improvement. This article clarifies the theoretical basis for applying the PDCA cycle (Plan – Do – Check – Act) in the management of Mathematics teaching through document analysis, synthesis, and systematization. The findings show that PDCA is an effective management framework that enables teaching activities to be organized in a closed-loop cycle, ensuring coherence among planning, implementation, monitoring, and adjustment. Based on this, the study proposes the application of PDCA to the management of core components of Mathematics teaching, including objectives, content, methods, assessment, and supporting conditions. The application of PDCA contributes to improving management effectiveness, enhancing the adaptability of teaching activities, and promoting the development of students’ mathematical competencies. It also provides a theoretical foundation for empirical research and educational policy formulation.
