| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this study was to develop a computer model that will be included in teaching pupils mathematics so as to make it more fun and interesting to learn. The model contains digitized contents, video shooting lessons and questions randomly generated for exercises. Data were collected through interview, questionnaire, observations and document review while the questions were built using Java language via code and fix. Twenty (20) pupils from Chief Albert primary school, nine (9) from Kikundi primary and twenty (20) teachers from various primary schools were involved in the study. Lesson sessions were prepared through video shooting and presented to pupils. With each session, each group of pupils did questions generated from a standalone computer. Clarifications on matters not understood were demonstrated verbally. Selected behavior patterns of pupils were observed during the sessions. This was done to detect their interest rate on the topics conducted. Questionnaire was filled by pupils before and after the study, while teachers filled them after the digitized contents were presented to them. Interview was conducted to primary school teachers on matters related to the lesson plan used by the school and common approach used by teachers in teaching mathematics to pupils. findings revealed that pupils at large seemed to be active during class sessions as well as during question sessions using the detecting variables set by the researcher. Also majority of teachers preferred the digitized contents to be included in the primary school curriculum since they can act as a catalyst for pupils to learn and understand mathematics. | |
