Development of learning tool for understanding concept of set via music rhythm (MLT)
Abstract:
ccording to Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS 2007), Thai students' competence in Science and Mathematics is behind other countries. Thai
students are inferior in mathematics. Teachers commented that the instructional media considered as the first concern in their opinions in the secondary school are not enough
and are limited for students. Students are unable to apply the course content and learned skills from classrooms to use in their life. The aim of this research is to create a tool that
can enhance mathematics learning through music. The tool was designed with the integration of Set operation lessons with music rhythms. Fourteen and thirty-three subjects
from the Grade 9 and 11 were assigned to use the tool respectively. They were tested with pre and post-test with achievement test. The result shows that there is a significant
difference at level 0.01 from grade 9 students who have not learned the set operation before. For the grade 11, students, there is a significant difference at level 0.05. Moreover,
the subjects are highly satisfied with the tool.
