Integrating the properties of computer algebra systems and dynamic geometry environments, Geogebra became an effective and powerful tool for teaching and learning mathematics. One of the reasons that teachers use Geogebra in mathematics classrooms is to make students learn mathematics meaningfully and conceptually. From this perspective, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether instruction with Geogebra has effect on students’ achievements regarding their conceptual and procedural knowledge on the applications of derivative subject. This study adopted the quantitative approach with pre-test post-test control group true experimental design. The participants were composed of two calculus classrooms involving 31 and 24 students, respectively. The experimental group with 31 students received instruction with Geogebra while the control group received traditional instruction in learning the applications of derivative. Independent samples t-test was used in the analysis of the data gathered from students’ responses to Applications of Derivative Test which was subjected to them before and after teaching processes. The findings indicated that instruction with Geogebra had positive effect on students’ scores regarding conceptual knowledge and their overall scores. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between experimental and control group students’ scores regarding procedural knowledge. It could be concluded that students in both groups were focused on procedural knowledge to be successful in learning calculus subjects including applications of derivative in both groups. On the other hand, instruction with Geogebra supported students’ learning these subjects meaningfully and conceptually.

The study investigated the effects of Solve-Reflect-Pose Strategy (SRP) on pre-service mathematics teachers’ algebraic knowledge for teaching in Nigeria. A pre-test-post-test quasi experimental design was employed. Intact classes were used and in all, 182 pre-service mathematics teachers’ participated in the study (92 in the experimental group taught with the SRP and 90 in the control group taught using the Modified Conventional Method (MCM). One research instrument manipulated at three levels namely: Conceptual Knowledge Test (CKT), Procedural Knowledge Test (PKT) and Flexible Procedural Knowledge Test (FPKT), was used for the quantitative data and interview protocol for qualitative data. The two research questions formulated were analysed using descriptive statistics while independent sample t-test was used to analyse the two hypotheses. Results showed that there were statistically significant differences in the mean post-test achievement scores on conceptual knowledge test, procedural knowledge test and flexible procedural knowledge test between pre-service teachers exposed to the SRP and those exposed to the MCM, all in favour of the SRP group. Based on the results, SRP should be adopted as an instructional strategy and efforts should be made to integrate the philosophy of SRP into the pre-service teachers’ curriculum at the teacher-preparation institutions.

The study examined the effects of the box-and-bead analogy versus retrieval-based learning on students’ retention and performance in chemical kinetics among first-year chemistry students. A purposive sampling technique was used to sample participants from the accessible population. The sample was made of two hundred and forty-five (n = 245) first-year chemistry students, at a public university, in South Africa. The study adopted a sequential explanatory research design. A chemical kinetics retention test (CKRT) was used for data collection as pre-, post-test and delayed post-test. A reliability coefficient of 0.73 was established using the Kuderson and Richardson correlation moment coefficient. Participants in the two groups were taught using an advanced retrieval instruction approach and the box-and-bead analogy. The results of the study showed no statistical difference in the retention of procedural knowledge and a statistical difference in conceptual knowledge. Overall, students taught using advanced retrieval performed better than the other group. The study underlines the fact that analogy-based instruction can be effective in improving conceptual knowledge using concrete analogues that aid in the retention of chemical kinetics. The findings of this study are diagnostic and they assist module designers in determining the procedural and conceptual knowledge in chemical kinetics retained by students, even after years have passed.

This study aimed to examine the level of students' conceptual knowledge on mathematics. In addition, the difference between conceptual knowledge based on gender and program was also studied. Measurement of knowledge is based on the Conceptual Knowledge Test (CKT). A total of 350 respondents were selected from five daily secondary schools in PetalingUtama, Selangor as a sample of the study. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis to find out the level of variables measured. In order to identify the main effects and interactions between gender and program variables, inference analysis is a two-way ANOVA test performed for conceptual knowledge dimensions. The findings showed no interaction effects between gender for conceptual knowledge of mathematics (p <.05), but it showed a significant effect on the program (p> .05). In conclusion, mathematical knowledge is very important at the upper secondary level as a high level of mathematical thinking is required to ensure excellent in mathematical achievement.This is essentially as a long time learning system and methods as well as the imitation approach and dependent on the examinations orientation has long been a measure of student achievement. The implication of this study is that basic conceptual knowledge of students' mathematics needs to be enhanced to realize Malaysia's aspiration to be in the top third place in international assessments such as TIMSS and PISA.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektifitas pelatihan self-regulated learning yang dilaksanakan dengan durasi yang singkat (90 menit). Penelitian quasi eksperimen ini menggunakan one-group pretest-posttest design dengan keterlibatan 9 siswa kelas VII SMP sebagai partisipan. Self-regulated learning siswa diukur pada tahap baseline (pretest), setelah intervensi (posttest), dan 3 bulan setelah intervensi (follow-up). Analisis data dengan ANOVA repeated measures satu arah menunjukkan bahwa ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara tiga waktu pengukuran SRL, F (2, 16) = 8.23, p = 0.003, ω² = 0.21. Skor SRL setelah pelatihan diberikan (M = 3.93, SD = 0.31) lebih tinggi dibandingkan sebelum pelatihan diberikan (M = 3.46, SD = 0.42). Pelatihan SRL yang singkat dapat meningkatkan self-regulated learning siswa dengan beberapa catatan yang perlu didiskusikan lebih lanjut. This study examined the effectiveness of self-regulated learning training which is carried out in short duration (90 minutes). This quasi-experimental study used one-group pretest-posttest design that inlvolve seventh grade middle school students as participants. Students’ self-regulated learning was measured at the baseline (pre-test), after the intervention (post-test), and 3 months after the intervention (follow-up). Data analysis with one-way repeated measures ANOVA showed significant differences between three SRL time measurement, F (2, 16) = 8.23, p = 0.003, ω² = 0.21. SRL score at post-test (M = 3.93, SD = 0.31) higher than at pre-test (M = 3.46, SD = 0.42). Post hoc analysis with Bonferroni correction indicated that SRL increased following the intervention (posttest) with large effect size (d = -1.408, p = 0.009). SRL declined 3 months after posttest (d = 0.752, p = 0.162), yet insignificant. This brief SRL training can increase self-regulated learning with some points need to be discussed further.
