Abstract This study assessed the levels of knowledge and practices of mathematics teachers on the application of the Structure of Observed Learning Outcomes (SOLO) taxonomy in the Division of Batangas City. It also examined whether significant differences exist in these variables when respondents are grouped according to their profiles. A descriptive research design was used, using a researcher-made questionnaire as the primary data collection tool complemented with focus group discussion to gain a deeper insight on the challenges in applying the SOLO taxonomy. The study involved 115 public junior high school mathematics teachers of SY 2024-2025 who are generally aware of the taxonomy, exceeding the minimum required sample size of 105 based on the Raosoft calculator. Data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, independent t-test, F-test and thematic analysis. Findings indicated that respondents demonstrated a general awareness of the SOLO taxonomy, particularly in foundational concepts. A significant relationship was found between knowledge and the grade level handled, as well as between practices and the highest educational attainment. Activities such as aligning summative assessments, sequencing activities, and linking mathematical concepts to real-world applications, shows a highly practiced activity. However, some practices are moderately practiced such as administering pre-assessments, using visual aids, and incorporating technology. Respondents reported challenges in understanding taxonomy’s levels and concepts, along with limited opportunities for professional development. The results and findings of this study served as a bases in preparing a learning material with the integration of SOLO taxonomy for mathematics instruction.
