The Effect of Teaching Mathematical Problems Solving Through Using Mobile Learning on the Seventh Grade Students' Ability to Solve them in Jordan

Abstract

<p><em>The study aimed to probe the effect of solving mathematical problems through using Mobile Learning (ML) on the seventh grade students' ability to solve them in Jordan. The study sample consisted of fifty-four (54) students of seventh basic grade in Zarqa in Jordan who were divided into two groups randomly: experimental group which included twenty-six (26) students who were taught through using mobile learning methodology and control group which consisted of twenty-eight (28) students who were taught through using the traditional ways of teaching. Mathematical problem solving test were prepared which were verified to check their validity and reliability. In general, the results related to problem solving and its dimensions revealed the understanding and reading of the problem, setting forth a plan for solving and implementing it as well as revising the solution). The students of the experimental group were taught by using mobile learning methodology were more excellent than their counterparts in the control group who were taught through using traditional teaching. </em></p>

Mobile Technology Acceptance Scale for Learning Mathematics: Development, Validity, and Reliability Studies

“…Thanks to this mobility and connectivity, students are able to learn more easily, practically, and productively (Choon-Keong, Ing, & Kean-Wah, 2013;Gikas & Grant, 2013). When accompanied with proper learning strategies, m-learning is also praised for its positive impact on students' learning achievement (Hwang & Chang, 2011;Hwang & Wu, 2014), attitudes towards the lesson (Hwang & Chang, 2011), interest and motivation (Hwang & Chang, 2011;Hwang & Wu, 2014), as well as on problem-solving skills (Al-Khateeb, 2018;Lai & Hwang, 2014), creativity, and communication skills (Lai & Hwang, 2014).…”

“…Their collective findings reported that the application of technology in education could improve student anger management skills, enhance the teaching-learning process's effectiveness, increase academic achievement, and foster positive behavior [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. Other studies presented that the application of technology can raise problem-solving capability, heighten computational thinking competency, upgrade writing ability, be adopted due to usefulness and easiness, and boost motivation [14][15][16][17][18][19]. The advantages of using technology in education in the cognitive and affective domain are seen in the current studies` interests.…”

Effects of Cooperative Learning with Dynamic Mathematics Software (DMS) on Learning Inversely Proportional Functions

“…Nowadays, technology usually refers to new devices such as hardware and software [3]. For example, tablets and personal computers with appropriate applications were used to help children's comprehension of numbers [4] and problem solving [5] . Interactive whiteboards and its associated software are installed in the classroom to support the wholeclass mathematics lessons [5].…”

“…For example, tablets and personal computers with appropriate applications were used to help children's comprehension of numbers [4] and problem solving [5] . Interactive whiteboards and its associated software are installed in the classroom to support the wholeclass mathematics lessons [5]. Strategic use of technology is recommended to strength the mathematics instruction altogether [6].…”
