1306 Aye Su Myat AN ASSESSMENT OF THE CONCEPT ATTAINMENT MODEL IN MIDDLE SCHOOL MATHEMATICS TEACHING* The main purpose of this study is to assess a concept attainment model in middle school mathematics teaching. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods were used in this study. Quantitative research method was used to analyze students’ mathematics achievement and mathematics process skills. Qualitative research method was used to investigate attitudes of teachers towards the attainment of mathematics concepts and the proposed concept attainment model, and those of students towards mathematics learning through learning activities based on the proposed concept attainment model. For quantitative research, an experimental study was conducted. One of the quasi-experimental designs, viz., the nonequivalent control group design, was used in this study. The subjects were randomly selected from Grade Seven in BEHS Phado, BEHS (Branch) Quarter (2) Phado, BEHS (Branch) Myoe Chaung, BEHS Myoe Ma, BEHS (Branch) Hnget Thike, and BEHS (Branch) La-Ka-Ya 3. There were (581) Grade Seven students in the experiment. For qualitative research, the students who participated in the experimental groups and the teachers who taught the experimental groups were randomly selected. The instruments used in this study were pretest, posttest, questionnaire, and interview. Learning materials for this study were selected from Grade Seven mathematics textbook, Volume 2. According to the pilot testing, the internal consistency of pretest question was 0.782. The data were analyzed by using independent samples t test and one-way analysis of covariance (One-Way ANCOVA). According to results, differences in mathematics achievement and mathematics process skills were significantly found between the two selected groups. The qualitative data also supported the findings from the quantitative study. Finally, research findings proved that the proposed concept attainment model has positive contribution to middle school mathematics teaching. 2020
1307 Naw Eh Wah A STUDY OF THE AWARENESS AND ATTITUDE OF THE PRIMARY TEACHERS TOWARDS THE NEW PRIMARY MORALS AND CIVICS CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTATION The aim of the study is to investigate the level of awareness and attitude of the primary teachers towards the new morals and civics curriculum implementation. This focused on Grade One teachers from East District of Yangon Region who were selected using simple random sampling method. Descriptive survey method and quantitative approach were used in this study. As the research instrument, the Trainee Teacher Attitude Questionnaire developed by The University of Plymouth (2007) and Questionnaire on Consultation of Morals and National Education Curriculum developed by Tovmasyan and Marcie Taylor Thoma (2008) were based and developed to use in this study. There are (71) total items of 5-Likert scales and (12) open-ended questions. Total of (329) Grade One teachers participated in this study. According to this study, the results point out that the awareness and attitude of the Grade One primary teachers the (89.47%) of school group is at the moderate level and (10.53%) of school group is at the high level in implementing the new primary morals and civics curriculum. The results also point out that the level of implementation of Grade One primary teachers from school group towards new primary morals and civics subject is (42.10%). The implementation done by the private school group and the monastic school group are higher than that of other school groups. According to the subscales, the mean score of assessment session is lower than the mean score of awareness and attitude level and implementation level. These results also show that the awareness and attitude of the Grade One teachers impact on their daily teaching. 2020
1308 Hnin Hnin Htet AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF PROJECT BASED LEARNING ON STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN ECONOMICS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL The major purpose of this research was to study the effects of project based learning on economics students’ academic performance at the high school level. This study was conducted with both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitatively, an experimental study was used to compare the students' economics achievement between the control group and experimental group. The posttest only control group design was used in this study. In this experimental study, the subjects were Grade Ten students selected from No.(1) BEHS Thanlyin and No.(3) BEHS Tharketa. For this study, (120) Grade Ten students were selected from both schools by random sampling method. These students were divided into two groups: control and experimental. The experimental group was treated with project based learning and the control group was taught as formal instruction. Subsequently, a posttest was administered to two groups. Independent samples t-test was used to test whether there was a significant difference between experimental group and control group. Examination of the means and t-test at No.(1) BEHS Thanlyin (t=12.17, df= 58, MD=5.10, p <.001) and No.(3) BEHS Tharketa (t=11.40, df=58, MD=4.80, p <.001). The results indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups. The qualitative data also supported the findings from the experimentation. In this study, students from the experimental group from two selected schools were given a questionnaire. It develops of (15) items five-point likert-scale. The results showed that the students expressed their willingness to learn in project based learning and they had positive attitudes towards this project based learning. Research findings proved that project based learning has positive contribution to the economics teaching at the high school level. 2020
1309 Aye Yu Mon AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF COOPERATIVE LEARNING MODEL IN THE TEACHING OF MYANMAR LANGUAGE WRITING SKILLS The main purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of Cooperative Learning Model in Myanmar Language teaching and learning of Grade Eight students in Myanmar. Instruments of quantitative research were based on the new instructional model of Cooperative Learning. Ten sample lesson plans were constructed. The target population is Grade Eight students in Yangon Region. Stratified random sampling method was used. Four sample schools were selected by using random sampling method. In each school, students were randomly selected and assigned to two groups. Quasi-experimental designs were applied in the experimental research and it took about ten weeks. Descriptive statistics was used to calculate students’ mean score, standard deviation in narrative and descriptive writing skill of students. Also the percentage of students’ attitude questionnaires were descriptive in data analysis. Furthermore, independent samples t- test and ANCOVA were used to test the significant level. Moreover, Pearson correlation was applied to analyze the correlation of the variables. And, questionnaires for students and teachers were conducted to find out teachers’ and students’ attitudes towards Cooperative Learning Model. The qualitative research was conducted with students’ and teachers’ interview questions for teachers and students. The result of this study shows that there was a significant difference in the writing skill of students between those who are taught by Cooperative Learning Model and those who are not. There also was relationship between students’ narrative writing skill and descriptive writing skill. An overall analysis of these findings seems strongly indicate the presence of Cooperative Learning Model’s positive pedagogic impact on teaching of Myanmar language writing skill. 2020
1310 Cin Sian Huai THE INFLUENCE OF MATHEMATICAL TERMINOLOGY ON STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL The main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of mathematical terminology on students' achievement at the high school level. Descriptive research study was used for this research. Twelve high schools were randomly selected from four selected townships of four districts from Yangon Region. The target population was (600) Grade Ten students. As instruments, a mathematical terminology test and a mathematics achievement test were used. The mathematical terminology test was used to investigate Grade Ten students' understanding of mathematical terminology concerned with mathematical terms, mathematical symbols, and mathematical structures. It included (15) items for each dimension. The mathematics achievement test was used to explore Grade Ten students' mathematics achievement. It involved three sections: (11) multiple choice items, (3) short questions and (6) long questions. For obtaining reliability, the pilot test was administered. The internal consistency of the instruments were (.780) and (.805) by using Cronbach's Alpha. In order to know the correlation between students' understanding of mathematical terminology and their mathematics achievement, Pearson product-moment correlation was used. The correlation coefficient between students' understanding of mathematical terminology and their mathematics achievement was (.682). This result shows that students' understanding of mathematical terminology is positively related with their mathematics achievement. It means that if students' understanding of mathematical terminology is low, their mathematics achievement will be low. On the other hand, if students' understanding of mathematical terminology is high, their mathematics achievement will be high. To sum up, mathematical terminology influence on students' mathematics achievement at the high school level. 2020
