| Popis: | 103 The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of the Peer Mentoring Teaching Method (﹝PMTM﹞) on learning Ruler-and-Compass Construction. Participants in this study were 8th grader. Students in the experimental condition were taught by the PMTM, while students in the comparison group were taught by the traditional teaching method. In this research study, Researcher examined the different effects, learning accomplishments and motivation of students. Furthermore, Researcher investigated the thoughts and beliefs of students in the experimental group.This study could serve as a reference that could guide 8th grader teachers in their teaching of mathematics.This study adopted a quasi-experimental approach and used random cluster sampling. Both groups were taught the Ruler-and-compass construction. After a review of the relevant literature, Researcher prepared the materials that were used by the experimental group—Ruler-and-compass construction. The students in both of the two groups took the same Ruler-and-compass construction test and the experimental group took math learning motivation evaluation pre-test and post-test. SPSS21.0/WIN 7.0 for Chinese version Windows were used to statistically analyze the research data. After teaching had finished, for the qualitative analysis, students were interviewed, one each from the high score group, the middle score group and the low score group. Through this analysis, I obtained the following results: 1. No significant difference in achievement was found between the﹝PMTM﹞and traditional lecture teaching. 2. No significant difference in the learning motivation of the students was found by the ﹝PMTM﹞. 3. Students in the experiment group solveing the individual questions benefited greatly by the ﹝PMTM﹞. 4. The interest in Math learning among students in the experimental group increased significantly. 5. Students in the experimental group were more active in learning math in the ruler drawing unit. 6. Most of the students in the experiment group gave positive responses in the ﹝PMTM﹞,and they would like to be taught by the PMTM in the future. |
