SKILLFUL PROBLEM SOLVING THE PROBLEM How might I encounter the restrains involving teaching mathematics by Computer-based Instruction?

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS Always be prepared Cooperate with school to keep the maintenance of the Improve skill in technology computer- frequent check-up Build user-friendly subject for the computers related software bilingual maintenance software Teachers should at least have Always monitor and facilitate basic on using computer in the students during activity teaching and learning process involving computer

SOLUTION CONSIDERED

CONSEQUENCES Facilitate teachers role as nurturer and improve students interest in learning the subject The technology maintenance could be very costly for the school The software can help student in self-learning

PRO OR CON

VALUE Improve teaching and learning quality Teachers and student should use the technology in proper way and always keep the technology in good condition Help student to be more independent Student might use the technology in a wrong way

SKILLFUL PROBLEM SOLVING

THE PROBLEM How might I prevent the math phobia among students involving creativity in teaching approaches ? Problems are created because of : 1. Teachers are too strict and always blamed students if they failed to answer the questions given. 2. The teacher do not implement the various approaches in teaching, dominant using exercises rather than games, ICT tools and so on. 3. Malaysian education systems is based on oriented examination.

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS Implement student centred learning. The teachers have to motivate the students, not blamed them. Use various creative approaches like games,outdoor activities, teaching aids and ICT tools. Malaysian education systems should be undergoes reformation. Eliminate the exam oriented. Every school must have math clinics.

SOLUTION CONSIDERED

CONSEQUENCES

PRO OR CON

VALUE Improve teaching and learning quality. Create curiosity among students. Teachers have to monitor the learning process. Motivate students to excellent in mathematics.

Student centred-learning Pro will create a inquiry feeling among students Con and they will feel confident on their selves. Math clinic will help students who has misconception or weakness in math. They will feel secure. Pro

The software, all sort of Pro / con ICTs and teaching aid models can help students in self-learning and guide them to visualize the something that beyond they thinking.

Students can explore the tools by their own.Help student to be more independent. Student might use the technology in a wrong way.

How can we make the solution better?

Teachers should tell their students that math is not a scary monster, try to close to them and never blamed if they have done a wrong calculation. Instead, gives a positive motivation like you just close to the answer. However, the root is how the teacher makes the class live.

How might I membantu pelajar memahami konsep matematik menggunakan kaedah demonstrasi sebagai salah satu pendekatan pengajaran Matematik yang kreatif? SKILLFUL PROBLEM SOLVING

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS 1) Guru perlu menguasai ilmu berkaitan 5) Guru membuat penilaian temasuklah dengan isi kandungan pelajaran dan ilmu perbincangan, aktiviti kumpulan, kuiz, pedagogi bagi membuat perancangan pembentangan, soal jawab dan latihan pengajaran demonstrasi yang berkesan. terhadap hasil demonstrasi. 2) Guru memberikan penjelasan tentang topik 6) Guru perlu mengorganisasi dan mengawal yang akan didemonstrasikan . kelas semasa demonstrasi dijalankan. 3) Guru menunjukkan demonstrasi yang melibatkan penggunaan pancaindera penglihatan, pendengaran dan sentuhan pelajar dan menggalakkan penglibatan pelajar. 4) Mempelbagaikan penggunaan model seperti model hidup ( model sebenar), model simbolik ( berdasarkan gambar atau arahan guru) atau model persepsi (penggunaan video) berdasarkan kesesuaian objektif pembelajaran. 7) Berbincang dengan pihak sekolah untuk menyediakan pelbagai kemudahan peralatan dan alat bantu mengajar Matematik supaya aktiviti pengajaran dan pembelajaran menjadi lebih bermakna.

SOLUTION CONSIDERED Solution number 3

CONSEQUENCES 1) Melalui penglibatan pancaindera penglihatan, pendengaran dan sentuhan pelajar semasa melakukan demonstrasi , penerimaan dan pemprosesan maklumat oleh pelajar adalah secara menyeluruh. 2) Penglibatan pelajar akan menggalakkan pembelajaran dua hala. 3) Memberi pelajar peluang melihat secara langsung kaitan antara teori dan praktik. 4) Penyampaian guru adalah sistematik untuk mencapai hasil pembelajaran. 5) Kemampuan guru melibatkan pelajar mewujudkan suasana pembelajaran yang kondusif dan efektif.

PRO OR CON? PRO

VALUE 1) Proses pembelajaran adalah melalui pengalaman pelajar. Penggunaan sumber pengajaran mempengaruhi minat, penyertaan, kefahaman dan pencapaian pelajar dalam matematik.

PRO

2) Kesedaran dalam diri pelajar untuk terlibat sama dalam demonstrasi. Hal ini akan meningkatkan komunikasi antara guru dan pelajar semasa demonstrasi dilakukan. 3) Melibatkan aplikasi idea pelajar. Setiap pelajar mempunyai kepelbagaian kecerdasan di dalam kelas. Tidak semua pelajar mampu membuat perkaitan antara teori dan praktikal tanpa bantuan(penjelasan) daripada guru 4) Guru komited terhadap tugasnya untuk menghasilkan demonstrasi berkesan. 5) Profesionalisme seorang guru yang cekap dan bertanggungjawab dalam memberikan pengajaran yang berkesan.

CON

PRO

PRO

How can we make the solution better?

Guru perlu bijak merancang dan bertindak menyediakan demonstrasi yang melibatkan pelajarnya. Guru perlu membuat refleksi berdasarkan demonstrasi yang telah dilakukan untuk mengesan kekuatan dan kelemahan pengajaran agar objektif pengajaran dan pembelajaran tercapai

SKILLFUL PROBLEM SOLVING

THE PROBLEM How teachers can involve the active participation of students during the student-centered learning?

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS Teachers need to create safe learning environment for students participation. Teachers need to provide rewards for the effort and the production of creative students work. Teachers need to ensure that the number of members of the group is small so that all students can actively be involved.

SOLUTION CONSIDERED

CONSEQUENCES Safe learning environment will promote effective learning among students. Students will be excited to learn because of the reward given by teacher. In small group, all students will get a chance to deliver their own opinions.

PRO OR CONS? PRO PRO

VALUE Students able to move freely during activities. Students teach one another within the groups and often groups teach other groups. Students motivation to learn mathematics can be increased. Teachers should be able to control students especially when activities conducted outside the classroom.

PRO CON

How can we make the solution better?

Teacher need to be sensitive to individual differences. Different learning styles being used. Calling students in class. For a small discussion section, it may be useful to arrange chairs in a circle or a U shape.
