Book Instructional Efficiency of the Integration of Graphing Calculators in Teaching and Learning Mathematics

Download or read book Instructional Efficiency of the Integration of Graphing Calculators in Teaching and Learning Mathematics written by Nor'ain Mohd Tajuddin and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quasi-experimental study with non-equivalent control group post-test only design was conducted to investigate the effects of using graphing calculators in mathematics teaching and learning on Form Four Malaysian secondary school students' performance and their meta-cognitive awareness level. Graphing calculator strategy refers to the use of TI-83 Plus graphing calculator in teaching and learning of Straight Lines topic. The experimental group underwent learning using graphing calculator while the control group underwent learning using conventional instruction. Three instruments were used in this study namely, Straight Lines Achievement Test, Paas Mental Effort Rating Scale and Meta-cognitive Awareness Survey. The data were analysed using independent t-test and planned comparison test. The findings indicated that the graphing calculators' instruction enhanced students' performance and induced higher levels of meta-cognitive awareness among students. Less mental effort were invested during the learning and test phases and hence increased 3-dimensional instructional efficiency index in learning of Straight Lines topic. Hence it can be implied that integrating the use of graphing calculators in teaching and learning of mathematics was more efficient than the conventional instruction strategy. Even though some students experience difficulties in using graphing calculators initially during learning, they responded overwhelmingly that graphing calculators improves their understanding of the Straight Lines topic. Hence, the usage of the graphing calculator lends as an effective strategy in teaching and learning of mathematics. (Contains 5 tables and 1 figure.).

Book Using Graphing Calculators in the Mathematics Classroom

Download or read book Using Graphing Calculators in the Mathematics Classroom written by Jane Ah Jin Lee and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated teachers' conceptions of mathematics and their teaching practices with respect to the use of graphing calculators in their mathematics classrooms. Case studies on three teacher participants were developed using quantitative and qualitative data that consisted of self-assessments on beliefs in mathematics, observations, surveys on professional and personal technology use, and semi-structured interviews. All three teachers viewed mathematics as a dynamic field, emphasized understanding concepts as opposed to mechanical procedures, and preferred the construction and understanding of the concept over the memorization of procedures. All three teachers were willing to use graphing calculators in the mathematics classroom and all three had a similar goal of attempting to use the graphing calculators to eliminate mechanical processing time and enhance their students' ability to construct their own learning. The evidence from the study suggests that these teacher's practices, with respect to the use of graphing calculators in the mathematics classroom, are influenced by how proficient their students are at using this technology and how accessible the technology is. There were five major findings from the study: (1) if the mechanics of operating a graphing calculator involve at least as much mental effort as the mechanics involved in pencil and paper work, then using the graphing calculator will not free up students so that they can concentrate on constructing their own knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts or solving more complex problems; (2) when mechanical operating issues are overcome, introducing graphing calculators into the mathematics classroom aids teachers in helping students construct their own mathematical knowledge by allowing all students to begin at a common starting point; (3) to obtain the full benefits of having students learn with the graphing calculators in the mathematics classroom, teachers must require students to use the graphing calculators when they are being evaluated; (4) teachers will determine for themselves where graphing calculators can be most appropriately used in the curriculum; and (5) teachers require strategies that will allow them to successfully deal with managing the day-to-day difficulties involved in using technological instruments such as the graphing calculator in the classroom. Implications for future study include how we can help those teachers inexperienced with the use of technology to incorporate the use of technology in their classrooms, how we need to address the need for consistent teaching practices throughout the intermediate, secondary and post-secondary levels, and how future case studies can be coded to reflect more precisely the language used by teachers to question students in the classroom. Suggestions for educators to consider when using graphing calculators in the mathematics classroom are given at the end of the study.

Book Ucsmp Teachers  Perspectives When Using Graphing Calculators In Advanced Mathematics

Download or read book Ucsmp Teachers Perspectives When Using Graphing Calculators In Advanced Mathematics written by Ilyas Karadeniz and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nowadays, technology plays a fundamental role in education, in general, and in mathematics education in particular. The graphing calculator has been an important technological tool in mathematics classrooms since its invention and introduction in 1985 by Casio. As graphing calculators provided so many uses, their contribution to the teaching and learning process has been investigated by many researchers who have shown the use of such technology can have a significant effect on improving mathematics teaching and learning. Investigating the impact of graphing calculators on student learning is important. It is also essential to research teachers' perspectives on how using graphing calculators in mathematics determines how such use affects their teaching and learning. However, there are few studies on this issue. Therefore, this dissertation study may fill the gap in the literature in terms of examining high school mathematics teachers' perspectives when they teach a precalculus course with technology integrated in the curriculum materials. In this study, I analyzed eleven teachers' perspectives about using graphing calculator technology in a precalculus course, titled Functions, Statistics, and Trigonometry (FST). This study was a descriptive intrinsic case study in which I analyzed teachers' perspectives about how they use graphing calculators in the FST course, specifically about their teaching and students' learning with available graphing calculator technology. Additionally, I explored teachers' perspectives about the issues they face when using the available technology and for what topics teachers frequently used it. I used mixed methods to examine eleven mathematics teachers' perspectives about their teaching, students' learning, and issues that arise when they use graphing calculator technology.
