Numerous studies have discovered that students' performance in Calculus I contributed to one of the highest failure rates in Mathematics courses among Universiti Teknologi MARA students. According to the results of Assessment 1 of the March-August 2022 session, which covers the topics of limits, continuity, and differentiation, most students were unable to obtain high or full marks on the topic of differentiation when compared to the topic of limits. Meanwhile, in Assessment 3 (group video presentation), which focuses on differentiation, most students gain nearly full marks. This assessment is used to encourage critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills, as well as effective teamwork and problem-solving methods. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine whether group video presentation can assist students in gaining a deeper understanding of the differentiation topic, as well as to investigate students' perceptions of this type of assessment for their learning differentiation topics in the Calculus I subject. The survey questionnaire was distributed to 86 full-time diploma students enrolled in Calculus I. The findings show that students are willing to accept that learning differentiation topics should be approached in a more technological manner.
Road accident often leads to claims for personal injury by aggrieved parties. In Malaysia, courts have been using multiplier-multiplicand approach. This approach seems to be outdated and unfair to the claimant. Presently, the approach excludes the claimant's personal condition in the calculation of quantum of damages. Hence, this study uses the Ogden Table as introduced in the United Kingdom as benchmarking guidelines, by taking into account of all aspect of claimant's personal condition for the purpose of such calculation. This study aim is to build upon a proposed data modeling system known as Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) and the created process modeling known as data flow diagram (DFD). In so doing, the claimants will insert his input data, run it through the first process, and store the information in the claim injury part database. They can also edit and store to claim injury part database on their own. This will generate a report with the information in claim injury part database and can be viewed by claimant, court and lawyer as target users. It is hoped that it will facilitate the calculation of injury claim which would serve justice and accuracy of personal injury in road accidents.
Pre-Calculus covers additional algebraic and trigonometric, where the students are encouraged to become proficient in those topics to prepare for an in-depth calculus learning. In Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM), practically every semester the issue of Pre-Calculus’ high failure rate is commonly reported. One of the ways to measure the students' understanding of this subject is through the final assessment performance. Besides, gender significance is one of the most notable studies in mathematics performance. Therefore, this study aims to compare the performance of part 1 diploma students who registered Pre-Calculus in UiTM Tapah in in accordance to their gender. To analyze the results, this study performed Descriptive and Principal Component Analysis using R statistical software. It was found that the students faced problems in answering Question 2, but scored more marks for Question 5. This revealed that most of the students faced difficulties in handling sketches of parabolas and circles. It was also discovered that the female students outperformed the males in this course.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
