Development Master Plan for Organizing Active Learning Experiences in Mathematics Instruction

Abstract

The objectives of this research were (1) to develop a master plan of active learning management and (2) to survey mathematics’ opinions on teaching materials used in learning activities according to the master plan of active learning management. The sample of objective 1 was mathematics education research focusing on active learning and published during 2012-2020.The issues for synthesizing included active learning, using technology in teaching mathematics, and using English in communication in mathematics. The samples of the objective 2 were both groups of teachers who attended the training sub-projects 1 and 2 on ‘Development Prototype for Active Learning in Using Technology in Mathematics’, and ‘Development Prototype for Active Learning in Mathematical Communication’. The research results revealed that the main factors were policies and strategies for educational development at all levels, roles, and operations of educational institutions that support the learning environments, including continuous self-development of teachers. The results of teachers’ satisfactions on two sub-projects implemented according to the master plan found that the highest level of satisfaction in both sub-projects was more than 50 percent. The highest level of satisfaction on sub-project 1 was at 58% (n₁ = 15, Mean = 4.57, S.D. = 1.32) and 60% (n₂ = 15, Mean = 4.59, S.D. = 1.34) on sub-project 2.
