Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris |
The purpose of this study was to examine factors influence Mathematics Achievement
and Solutions among Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) students in Sentul
Division. The instrument of the study is based on the distribution of research
questionnaires. Semi structured questions and interview questions was employed to 10
of standard six students and 2 Mathematics teachers in 5 different Tamil Schools in
Sentul Division. The Hermeneutic method was used to interpret the students' written
texts on the factors influence the mathematics achievement. The finding of this study
indicated that poor teaching strategies by the teachers in teaching mathematics subject
are factors that influence mathematics achievement. Where else, the solutions that have
been identified to improve the achievement in Mathematics among Tamil school
students are guiding the teachers in improvising mathematics pedagogy and develop
the teachers skill in giving clear instruction. In conclusion, teachers need to use
effective methods and techniques in their teaching so that the interest in learning
mathematics subject will increase among students which will lead to a better
achievement in mathematics subject. As implication, the school administration should
provide support and guidance to help teachers and students in identifying best methods
to improve in teaching and learning Mathematics subject. Ministry of Education should
put continuous effort in providing effective courses on teaching and learning
Mathematics. Moreover, text and reference book writers have to play vital role to
publish best guided mathematics books which considerably influence Mathematics
achievement among SJKT student. |
