Reconceptualized perspective of mathematics is an alternative view of mathematics that regards its unique universality and at the same time recognizes it as a developing and evolving discipline. Moreover, this reconceptualized perspective is hoped to offer a potential softening of the entrenched divide between the strict absolutist and strict constructivist views of mathematics. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of reconceptualized perspective on students’ learning experiences and mathematics achievement. The study used the quasi-experimental three-group pretest-posttest research design to determine the effects of the teaching approaches: Strict Absolutist, Strict Constructivist and Reconceptualized. The participants were 112 freshmen college students aged 17-18 years old. A Mathematics Learning Experiences Inventory and mathematics achievement test were developed and validated for the purpose of this study. The three different learning approaches were implemented for half the semester or exactly 9 weeks. The results of the study revealed that the Reconceptualized approach to mathematics teaching can better improve students’ mathematics learning experiences and achievement than the other two teaching approaches based from the significant differences in the mathematics posttest scores of the students in the three learning groups as revealed by the result of the multiple comparison tests. Furthermore, based on the results of this study, it is being proposed that providing students with rich learning opportunities that foster better understanding of the nature of mathematics vis-à-vis its history and vast application can better escalate students’ learning and experiences in mathematics.
