The Study of Teaching Effective Strategies on Student's Math Achievements

Abstract

One of the most important factors in student's learning weakness and academic failure, is their unfamilarity or low awareness of the learning strategies and studying in mathematics. This study is performed to examine the students' math and reading skills and their study skills that impact on their academic progress. The main objective of the research is to study with emphasis on training study strategies versus ususal method (teaching without emphasis on training study strategies) to increase the learning of mathematical concepts. The present method is quasi-experimental that via quasi-cluster sampling to adopt 17 guidance girly schools in grade 3th, to gauge effects of teaching reading skills on math learning of the students.The results of T-test showed that students who were taught with emphasis on study skills versus students who have been traditionally trained, had better math performance and higher academic achievement.Therefore it seems that teaching reading stratefies such as cognitive and meta-cognitive will ease mathematical learning process.

Estratégias didático-metodológicas com o software Criba de Eratóstenes no ensino e na aprendizagem dos critérios de divisibilidade

“…A simbologia, própria da linguagem matemática, sua relação com a língua materna, falta de familiaridade, baixa consciência das estratégias de aprendizado ou do próprio estudo da disciplina estão entre as dificuldades apresentadas pelos alunos na aprendizagem da matemática (Behzadi et al, 2014;Resende & Mesquita, 2013). Há destaques com embaraços relacionados à leitura, compreensão e interpretação de enunciados matemáticos (Soares & Oliveira, 2017).…”

“…The cognitive strategy is an essential instrument in learning to understand the material content. Then cognitive and metacognitive strategies have to work altogether [22].…”

PQ4R Strategy (Preview, Question, Read, Reflection, Recite, Review) for Mathematical Communication Ability

“…To achieve learning objectives, especially mathematical communication, choosing the right learning strategy can be a success factor. The learning theory of constructivism is based on the work of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky and is the leading theory of learning today [15][16][17]. One of the strategies that can improve memory performance in understanding lessons is the PQ4R strategy.…”

“…One of the strategies that can improve memory performance in understanding lessons is the PQ4R strategy. The PQ4R learning strategy consists of several stages, a preview where students must scan reading material to find the main structure of the topic and subtopics [17]; students must pay attention to the title, subtitle, and identification found. The next step is the question that refers to questions related to the material using the question word, what, who, where, when, why, and how.…”
