Abstract

Students’ level of learning and knowledge of mathematics has been a great concern in recent times in secondary school education. This study, therefore, investigated how the teachers’ teaching approaches correlate and contribute to junior secondary school students’ mathematics achievement in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a correlational research design. The study adopted a stratified sampling technique to select 30 junior secondary schools from the six existing educational districts, and a simple random technique was used to sample 900 students from the selected schools.  Data was collected using the Teacher Teaching Methods Questionnaire (r = 0.76) and the Mathematics Achievement Test (r = 0.71). Data analysis was done using multiple regression with a significance level of less than 0.05. Combining all teachers' teaching methods (demonstration, group discussion/cooperative learning, lecture, discovery, and project) resulted in a multiple correlation coefficient (R) of 0.237. The combination of independent variables explained the variance in the dependent variable, as indicated by the adjusted R2 of 0.051. Among the teaching methods considered, the group discussion/cooperative learning method (β = 0.219, t = 5.217) and the lecture method (β = 0.094, t = 2.082) both contributed positively and significantly to students' mathematics achievement. It is therefore important for mathematics teachers to identify and adopt the best methods to teach the subject.

Abstract

Numeracy literacy is essential for 21st-century skills, yet student proficiency remains low. Improving it requires enhancing learning quality through digital innovation, contextual learning, and personalized approaches. Digital platforms offer flexible resources, while STEAM disciplines foster problem-solving skills. Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) provides contextual, project-oriented experiences, supported by differentiation strategies (visual, auditory, kinesthetic). The purpose of this research is to develop a STEAM-based website integrated with challenges based on differentiated learning which is very valid and very practical to improve students' numeracy literacy. This research method used Research and Development (R&D) method with ADDIE model, the research involved junior high students, collecting data via interviews and questionnaires. Results showed product is very valid (89.95% expert validation) and very practical (93.80% from practitioners, 93.16% from students). Thus, differentiated, CBL-STEAM learning can significantly improve learning quality and support broader educational goals.

Abstract

This study was motivated by the low mathematical communication ability observed among students, which is partly due to teaching approaches that have not fully accommodated students’ diverse cultural backgrounds and learning needs. The purpose of this classroom action research is to improve students’ mathematical communication ability in differentiated learning through Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT). The data were collected using questionnaires, observation sheets, and tests in statistics topic, and were analyzed by comparing data from pre-test and post-test results. This study was conducted in 2 cycles in a class of Grade X students at SMAN 14 Semarang with procedures: (1) planning, (2) action, (3) observation, and (4) reflection. The first cycle is related to differentiated-process learning based on learning interests through CRT with the theme of Semarang City Culture, while the second cycle is related to differentiated-process learning based on learning styles through CRT with the theme of Javanese Culture. The results showed that CRT in differentiated learning can improve mathematical communication ability by  in the first cycle and  in the second cycle. The learning process became more inclusive, with students showing greater confidence in communicating mathematical ideas and engaging more actively in class discussion. This study contributes to the field of mathematics education by integrating cultural responsiveness with differentiated instruction, which can address diverse student needs, foster a meaningful learning environment, and improve mathematical competencies.

Abstract

Mathematical reasoning is an important ability in using concepts and logic based on existing rules to solve various problems by making logical and accountable conclusions. However, based on a preliminary study by giving test questions to students, it was found that students' mathematical reasoning is still relatively low. This study was a development research that aims to develop and determine the quality of teaching materials based on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) in a problem-based learning model seen from the suitability of feasible characteristics consisting of valid, practical, and effective. This research was conducted using the Research and Development (R&D) stage with a modified 4-D model and implemented at SMP Negeri 2 Geyer in 2023. The data collection techniques used were tests and questionnaires. The results of the study indicate that the teaching materials have met the eligibility criteria. The validity results show a percentage of 90.1% with very valid criteria. Meanwhile, the practicality results obtained a teacher response of 95% and a student response of 85.2% which indicates very practical results. The results of the pretest and posttest analysis show that the teaching materials are effective in improving mathematical reasoning, where the teaching materials can help students achieve the minimum completeness criteria both individually and classically, and there is an increase in students' mathematical reasoning with an N-Gain value of 0.24. Therefore, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM)-based teaching materials can be used as an alternative in facilitating students to develop mathematical reasoning.
