In design and development study, a need analysis needs to be carried out to ensure that the learning module for retention of conceptual and procedural knowledge to be developed can meet the needs of the study target. A need analysis has been conducted to identify the Form 1 topics that students find difficult, moderate difficult and most difficult to learn, examine students’ perceptions on the difficulties they encounter in learning Mathematics and examine students’ perceptions on the characteristics of module that they want into retaining conceptual and procedural knowledge of Form 1 Mathematics topics learnt. The respondents of this study consisted of 150 Form 1 students and 150 Form 2 students. Data collection was done using questionnaire form. The results of descriptive statistics analysis showed Linear Equation as the most difficult topic, Algebraic Expressions as moderate difficult topic and Linear Inequality as difficult topic to be learnt in Form 1 Mathematics. As for the difficulties students encounter in learning Mathematics, the results of descriptive analysis found that students faced difficulties in terms of procedural and conceptual knowledge mastery, remembering and recalling. In addition, characteristics of module that students want into retaining conceptual and procedural knowledge of Form 1 Mathematics topics learnt indicated that the respondents’ consent level were Very High for most of the proposed module features. The implication of this study informed the researcher on what to consider when developing a learning module to retain conceptual and procedural knowledge of Form 1 Mathematics topics.
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.
