Impact of Activity based Approaches on Mathematics learning in Secondary Schools

Abstract

Educational opportunities are widely regarded as the most important means of enabling individuals and nations alike to meet the ever-increasing challenges in the fields of economics, technology, social welfare, and personal development. In addition to ensuring that students are literate, education should also foster rationale thinking, knowledge, ability, and self-sufficiency in students. In any field, there is hope for progress when there is a willingness to adapt to new circumstances. The ability to develop creativity and innovate is beneficial to both students and teachers. Education must be centred on all-round development, and the best way to achieve this is through hands-on experience. Mathematics is the subject that is most closely related to our everyday lives. Its knowledge is precise, systematic, logical, and unambiguous. A process of intellectual development of mental faculties is entailed in the study of mathematics. It is not the case that mathematical knowledge is only required by engineers, doctors, or business professionals; rather, it is the opposite. Even the smallest members of society, such as labourers and factory workers, require a fundamental understanding of mathematics.

The purpose of this paper is to Study the Achievement level of experimental group & control group in Mathematics through activity based learning and traditional learning respectively and to find the effectiveness level of activity-based learning in secondary level Mathematics classroom. Activity based learning can be approaches in imparting knowledge to the students in secondary schools. The paper employs both quantitative and qualitative approach to find out the Impact of Mathematics learning through Activity based Approaches in Secondary Schools and also highlighted the activity-based learning modes. This paper deals with the Concept of activity-basedlearning inMathematics,Learning by Activity Problems faced by the learners, Strategies and objectives of the study. To discuss the concept to be taught to the Learnersby different field activities and through model/ chart. The paper also discusses that through activity-based learning in mathematics how to develop the skills & innovative ideas in learners through teaching Mathematics
