Factors influence Mathematics achievement and solutions among Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) school students in Sentul division
description <p>The purpose of this study was to examine factors influence Mathematics Achievement</p><p>and Solutions among Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Tamil (SJKT) students in Sentul</p><p>Division. The instrument of the study is based on the distribution of research</p><p>questionnaires. Semi structured questions and interview questions was employed to 10</p><p>of standard six students and 2 Mathematics teachers in 5 different Tamil Schools in</p><p>Sentul Division. The Hermeneutic method was used to interpret the students' written</p><p>texts on the factors influence the mathematics achievement. The finding of this study</p><p>indicated that poor teaching strategies by the teachers in teaching mathematics subject</p><p>are factors that influence mathematics achievement. Where else, the solutions that have</p><p>been identified to improve the achievement in Mathematics among Tamil school</p><p>students are guiding the teachers in improvising mathematics pedagogy and develop</p><p>the teachers skill in giving clear instruction. In conclusion, teachers need to use</p><p>effective methods and techniques in their teaching so that the interest in learning</p><p>mathematics subject will increase among students which will lead to a better</p><p>achievement in mathematics subject. As implication, the school administration should</p><p>provide support and guidance to help teachers and students in identifying best methods</p><p>to improve in teaching and learning Mathematics subject. Ministry of Education should</p><p>put continuous effort in providing effective courses on teaching and learning</p><p>Mathematics. Moreover, text and reference book writers have to play vital role to</p><p>publish best guided mathematics books which considerably influence Mathematics</p><p>achievement among SJKT student.</p>
