Abstract

This descriptive quantitative study explored secondary school students’ reasons for receiving or not receiving private mathematics tutoring. It also explored the prevalent teaching methods private mathematics tutors use. A questionnaire was adapted to collect data from 1,309 Year 7 to Year 12 students (ages 11 to 17 years) in three countries: Brunei, Indonesia, and Iraq. The results highlight that students may receive private mathematics tutoring to pass national examinations and improve examination scores. Teachers also adapt to teaching approaches that enable students to achieve these teaching and learning goals. This study provides an initial understanding of the common reasons and teaching methods used in private mathetics tutoring across different contexts that prioritise high-stakes examination culture. The results provide implications for how private mathematics tutoring can be used to support effective teaching and learning compared to the high-stakes reasons it seems it promotes. The results also accentuate the need for families and other stakeholders to reconsider private mathematics tutoring as an opportunity to remediate the challenges students encounter in their normal classroom instruction to improve student learning.

Abstract

This study explores the effectiveness of the Station Rotation Model (SRM) in adding and subtracting fractions. A mixed-method design was conducted through convenience sampling of 31 students from Year 9. They were given pre-and post-tests consisting of ten questions for collecting quantitative data. Students’ online questionnaires consisting of five-point Likert scales, two open-ended questions, and structured interviews with six selected students were further analysed to collect qualitative data. A non-parametric test was adopted to compare the results of the achievement tests. Wilcoxon’s signed rank test findings showed a significant difference (p=0.024) and a large effect size (rb=0.558) between the achievement test scores. This indicates that the SRM positively impacts students’ performance in adding and subtracting fractions. Three major themes emerged from the questionnaires and interviews about students’ perception of using SRM: Manipulatives make learning fun, enjoyment of working in a group, and challenges in implementing the SRM. Overall, students positively viewed their experiences with the SRM as an approach to teaching and learning. The study offers insights into SRM’s impact on student learning, aiding educators amd researchers assess its future application, especially in mathematics education.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to design a learning trajectory (develop mathematics reasoning skills) for junior high school statistics material to be used in eighth-grade classrooms. This design research study comprises three stages: preliminary design, experimental design and Retrospective Analysis. The subjects in this study were eighth-grade learners in a public junior-high school in Wonogiri City. Data collection methods included observation, interview and tests. Based on the results of the retrospective analysis, a learning trajectory for statistics material with the traditional Congklak game in application combines both informal and formal activities. In informal activities, through the Congklak game experiments conducted. These helped to form, mode, medium, examination, quartiles and semi-interquartile range interpretation concepts. In formal activities, based on the experimental results learners decided how to define mean (average), mode (the number of times a value appears in given data), medium and quartiles. The statistical results show that there are differences in mathematics reasoning skills between teaching with a learning trajectory assisted by Congklak and the direct method. The marginal mean for learning path is 71.57, while it is 62.66, and this outside the margin of error. This suggests that by application of a realistic mathematics approach using learning path driven Congklak traditional game of so can improve learners' mathematics reasoning ability.
