Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study examined the comparative effectiveness of two question-based active learning strategies, namely Learning Starts with a Question and Question Students Have, on junior secondary students’ mathematics achievement. Methodology: A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design was employed involving two Grade Eight classes. One class was taught using the Learning Starts with a Question strategy and the other using the Question Students Have strategy. Mathematics achievement was measured using validated essay tests administered as pretest and posttest. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and independent samples t-test after normality and homogeneity assumptions were met. Main Findings: Both strategies improved students’ mathematics achievement. The class taught using the Learning Starts with a Question strategy obtained a higher posttest mean score of 84.16 compared to the class taught using the Question Students Have strategy with a mean score of 79.72. Independent samples t-test indicated a significant difference between the two classes with a probability value of 0.009. The increase in scores from pretest to posttest was also higher in the Learning Starts with a Question class, indicating greater improvement in mathematics learning outcomes. Novelty/Originality of this study: The Learning Starts with a Question strategy is more effective than the Question Students Have strategy in improving junior secondary students’ mathematics achievement.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to explore sociomathematical norms based on students’ interest in mathematics learning at the junior high school level, and to identify how different levels of learning interest influence students’ interaction, participation, and communication during mathematics learning activities. Methodology: This study used a descriptive qualitative approach with purposive sampling involving six students. Instruments included Likert-scale questionnaires, observation sheets, and semi-structured interview guidelines. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model with triangulation techniques. Main Findings: Students mostly show good sociomathematical norms, with the majority categorized at a moderate level of learning interest. Students with high interest demonstrate very good participation and communication, while those with moderate interest show consistent but less optimal interaction. Students with low interest tend to be passive and have difficulty expressing mathematical ideas clearly. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates sociomathematical norms and learning interest in a single qualitative analysis, focusing on students’ real classroom behavior. It provides a deeper understanding of how different levels of interest shape interaction and communication, offering a more comprehensive perspective compared to previous studies that examined these aspects separately.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the Multiple Representation (SiMaYang) learning model on students’ mathematical conceptual understanding and to determine the role of students’ self-efficacy in influencing differences in conceptual understanding outcomes. Methodology: This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a 2×3 factorial design. Data were collected using essay tests and Likert-scale questionnaires. Statistical analysis included Liliefors normality test, Bartlett homogeneity test, independent t-test, and two-way ANOVA with unequal cells, followed by Scheffé test using statistical software. Main Findings: Results showed that the SiMaYang learning model produced higher mathematical conceptual understanding than conventional learning. Self-efficacy significantly affected students’ conceptual understanding, where high self-efficacy students performed better than others. No interaction effect was found between learning model and self-efficacy. SiMaYang model consistently improved understanding across all self-efficacy levels, indicating independent contributions of instructional model and affective factors. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study integrates cognitive and affective aspects by simultaneously examining the effect of the SiMaYang learning model and self-efficacy within a single analytical framework. It provides a more comprehensive understanding of learning effectiveness by using factorial design analysis, offering new insights into how instructional strategies and internal beliefs independently influence mathematical conceptual understanding.
