Abstract: Teacher research plays a vital role in the classroom. They may utilize varied teaching approaches, strategies, technique, instruction materials, and assessment. This study determined the relationship between innovative teaching strategies and the computational abilities of learners. This causal comparative study employed 247 Mathematics Teachers in the elementary level. Data were collected using innovative teaching strategy scale and the mean grade of each pupil in mathematics for the three (3) grading periods. Findings shows that mostly of the respondents are baccalaureate degree holders and they used innovative teaching in their classroom often. Almost 50% of the pupils belong to the satisfactory level of computational ability ranging from 80% to 84%. Critical thinking exhibits a high positive significant relationship with computational abilities. It also showed a slight positive correlation between creativity and computational abilities. Innovative teaching strategy is found out to be a good predictor of computational abilities. Only critical thinking has the greatest predictive power on computational ability of learners followed by creativity, social skills and ICT skills with a negative coefficient.
