The Influence of Instructional Strategies on Students' Attitudes Towards Mathematical Learning in a Sports Setting
Downloads
This study looked into how learning mathematics in a sporting setting affected Year 10 students' views toward the subject. Data was gathered using a closed-ended, self-reported questionnaire with Likert-type comments. Analysis of each statement was done by comparing the percentage of pupils' agreement or disagreement before and after instruction. Students' attitudes in this study made up of their engagement, confidence, and mathematical awareness. According to this study, kids' confidence, awareness of the value of arithmetic, and engagement all raise when they learn in a sporting setting. The consequences for educators, teachers, and researchers are also taken into consideration in this work.
