AN INVESTIGATION INTO TE MATEMATICS PROCESS SKILLS OF TE MIDDLE SCOOL STUDENTS
Abstract
- The development of mathematics process skills in students is essential in learning and application of mathematics. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mathematics process skills of the students at the middle school level. The design adopted in this study was a descriptive research design. Twelve schools were randomly selected from four townships of four districts from Yangon Region. In order to obtain the require data, (600) students were requested to participate in this study. A mathematics process skills test was used as an instrument. It consists of five main parts: problem solving, reasoning, communication, connection, and representation. Each part consists of (10) multiple choice items. Students’ answer sheets were scored manually, each correct answer was scored one mark while a wrong answer was scored zero. Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson product-moment correlation were calculated to analyze the data. The research findings indicated that most of the students possessed moderate level of mathematics process skills. Communication skill was the highest among the students and connection skill was the lowest among the students. Furthermore, there were significant positive relationships among five mathematics process skills
