Abstract

The study was conducted to understand the attitude towards solving mathematical word problems of 483 class nine and ten students. The quantitative method was used with purposive sampling, including all the students. Survey questionnaires with a five-point Likert scale were validated through pilot testing with 20 students and obtained a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.88. Views of students on attitude towards solving word problems, motivation of students, and implication of language in solving word problems were collected. MS Excel’s data analysis tool was used to analyze data using percentages, frequencies, descriptive analysis, and correlation. Paired t-test for the sample mean was used to see the significance of gender difference. The findings revealed a high positive attitude towards solving word problems. Students were motivated to solving word problems, the teacher is rated as the source of motivation. There was a high positive correlation between language and their love for solving mathematical word problems. There was no significant gender difference observed in attitude and motivation but gender difference was significant in the importance of language in solving word problems. Male students had a stronger belief than a female that language plays a vital role in one’s efficacy in solving mathematical word problems. Recommendations are suggested to the subject teachers to enable them to develop better instructions based on reflection.

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to identify some student’s conceptions of the straight line and two parallel lines. This will allow us to evaluate the distance that exists between their conceptions and the theory of these concepts. In doing so, we analyzed the students’ answers to a questionnaire: the questionnaire concerned the explication of the straight line and two parallel lines. The results indicate that the students have difficulties to produce an acceptable definition of a straight line and two parallel lines. They have difficulties to find appropriate terms to express their comprehension of these concepts. The definitions they produce are ambiguous and seem to be related to the drawings they have encountered in the classroom. Their answers indicate that their comprehension on the straight line and two parallel lines seem to be in conflict with the theory of these concepts.

Abstract

Mathematical literacy plays a crucial role in developing students’ ability to solve contextual mathematical problems. This study aims to describe the profiles of students’ problem-solving abilities based on their levels of mathematical literacy in solving PISA-based questions. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed involving 28 eighth-grade students from SMP Negeri 1 Kolaka selected through purposive sampling. The students were grouped into three categories-high, medium, and low-based on their mathematical literacy test scores. The subjects were selected based on teacher recommendations, namely students with good communication skills who represented each mathematical literacy group. Data were collected using problem-solving tests and interviews, and the instruments were validated by mathematics education experts and teachers. Data analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, with source triangulation to ensure validity and credibility. The results showed that students with high mathematical literacy demonstrated comprehensive understanding, effective planning, and accurate problem-solving processes, though minor computational errors were found. Students with medium mathematical literacy could understand problems and plan solutions but often made mistakes in calculations and rarely verified their results. Students with low mathematical literacy only reached the problem-understanding stage and struggled with technical computations, leading to incomplete solutions. Overall, the findings indicate a progressive relationship between mathematical literacy and the completeness of problem-solving stages. The study suggests that integrating PISA-oriented contextual problems into mathematics learning can be a consideration for teachers to train students’ problem-solving and reasoning skills.

Abstract

Children come across mathematics before they start schooling. From infancy to secondary, they develop mathematical concept formation skills and hold misconceptions. Learning mathematics concepts is spiral in nature, with one level affecting later learning.  Poor performance in mathematics is traceable back to Mathematics Misconceptions held by students at an early age. Animations has been used in Symmetry and Matrices with a remarkable reduction of students’ misconceptions. Their use in photoelectric effect in physics signifipppppcantly reduced students’ misconceptions. This study inquired into the effects of computer animations on geometrical misconceptions. The constructivist theory of learning guided the study where prior knowledge in geometry was used to build geometrical concepts from day-to-day life experiences.  The study employed Solomon-Four Group Design with experimental and control categories having two groups each. The four groups for the study were purposively chosen. 112 boys and 95 girls participated in the research. MAT (Mathematics Achievement Test) adopted from past KCSE (Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education) questions were used to find the misconceptions held by students. The instrument was pilot-tested and resulted in a reliability coefficient of 0.8826 using the KR-20 formula. Pre-testing was done to the control and an experimental group before intervention, and all the four groups sat for a Post-test. ANOVA and t-test were applied in the testing of the hypothesis at a 0.05 level of confidence. With the use of Animation, a reduction of students’ mathematical misconceptions was observed. The performance of boys and girls after exposure to animations were noted to be significantly the same. The findings may help stakeholders in Mathematics Education.
