The practices of active learning approach in mathematics problem solving among primary school teachers in Kulai

Abstract

This study aims to see the Practices of Active Learning Application in the Mathematical Problem Solving Process Among Primary School Teachers in Kulai District across the teaching experience of teachers. A total of 150 respondents were involved as the study sample. The study design that has been used is quantitative and the research tool that has been used is a survey form that has been divided into 3 parts. The survey form focuses on the Practices of Active Learning Approach in Solving Mathematical Problems Among Primary School Teachers in Kulai. The results show that most primary school teachers in Kulai have shown positive feedback on the practice of active learning approach in problem solving Mathematics for the aspects of planning; (median = 4.00), implementation; (median = 4.00) and evalaution; (median = 4.00). Meanwhile, the findings of the study also prove that there is no significant difference for the application of active learning skills in the process of solving mathematical problems of primary school students across the teachers teaching experience, [X2 (2)=3.935,p = 3.237]. Overall, this study shows that primary school teachers in Kulai, practice active learning approach in solving mathematical problems from the aspects of planning, implementation and evaluation. Therefore, school administrators and teachers can study this research to get ideas in the implementation of active learning approaches in the classroom.
