This research-to-practice full paper describes the readiness of pre-service mathematics teachers to incorporate Scratch, a block-based programming application, into mathematics instruction, focusing on their knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Given the rapid technological advancements, leveraging technology in mathematics education is crucial in fostering proficient problem-solving abilities among ...Show More
Isometric Transformation is one of the essential topics in the Malaysian Secondary School Mathematics Curriculum. In general, Malaysia’s achievements in Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) were found to be less encouraging, especially in the field of Geometry. This fact clearly implies that the mastery of Higher-Orde...Show More
This study was conducted with two objectives: (a) to develop 3D geometry teaching strategies through SketchUp Make (SPPD-SUM), and (b) to study the effect of SPPD-SUM on visual-spatial skills (VSS). It was conducted in two stages. Stage I involved designing SPPD-SUM, whereas Stage II involved studying of the effect of SPPD-SUM on VSS. The activities in Stage I were based on a five-phase cycle in t...Show More
Results from international assessments focusing on the use of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) show that Malaysian students perform poorly in Data Handling. At the same time, the Malaysian education system is undergoing a dramatic change in which information and communications technology (ICT) is integrated into the education system in order to enhance the overall quality of education. Smart bo...Show More
Motivation is an aspect heavily emphasized in a mathematics class to produce a quality human capital. However, students’ motivation towards mathematics is still low while students’ performance in mathematics is declining. The students’ lack of motivation toward mathematics could be attributed to ineffective learning strategies in mathematics classrooms. In addition, many previous studies have only...Show More
The weak performance of Malaysian students in the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) indicates a very low mastery of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) among them. The i-Think program, which introduces eight types of thinking maps, was introduced to increase and cultivate the thinking skills of students and teachers. In li...Show More
The aim of this study was to study the effect of learning activities based on the van Hiele's phases of learning geometry in the environment of GSP software on students' geometric thinking. A quasi-experimental design was employed in which participants were assigned to either the treatment or the control groups. Ten students, five from each group, were randomly chosen for interviews in order to id...Show More
In an effort to inculcate higher order thinking skills (HOTS) among students, the form of mathematical problems given to them should be changed from routine to nonroutine problems. To achieve this, teachers need to equip themselves with the knowledge and skills related to non-routine problems. This study aimed to investigate the level of knowledge of in-service and pre-service mathematics teachers...Show More
