Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the mathematical problem solving abilities between learning abacus-mental arithmetic students and non-learning abacus-mental arithmetic students. A sample comprising of 69 standard one students from a primary school in the State of Penang was selected for this study. The comparison was done by using standard one mathematic test and mental arithmetic test. The statistical analysis, t-test was used to compare the mathematical problem solving abilities of learning abacus-mental arithmetic students and non-learning abacus-mental arithmetic students. The Pearson Product-Moment correlation was used to determine the relationships between abacus-mental arithmetic achievement and mathematical problem solving abilities. The findings from the study showed that there is a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the learning abacus-mental arithmetic group and the non-learning abacus-mental arithmetic group in their mathematical problem solving abilities to solve mathematical symbolic problems and mental arithmetic problems. The mean score of learning abacus-mental arithmetic group is higher than the non-learning abacus-mental arithmetic group. However, there is no significant difference (p < 0.05) in the abilities of solving mathematical word problems between the learning abacus-mental arithmetic group and the non-learning abacus-mental arithmetic group.


Objektif utama kajian ini ialah untuk membandingkan kebolehan menyelesai-kan masalah matematik antara murid yang mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental dengan murid yang tidak mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental. Kajian ini melibatkan 69 orang murid Tahun Satu di sebuah sekolah rendah di Pulau Pinang. Instrumen yang digunakan ialah ujian matematik tahun satu dan ujian aritmetik mental. Statistik analisis, iaitu ujian-t digunakan untuk membandingkan kebolehan menyelesaikan masalah matematik antara murid yang mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental dengan murid yang tidak mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental. Korelasi Pearson digunakan untuk mengenal pasti hubungan antara pencapaian murid dalam aritmetik mental dengan kebolehan menyelesaikan masalah matematik. Keputusan kajian menunjukkan terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan (p < 0.05) dalam pencapaian matematik item bersimbol dan pencapaian aritmetik mental antara murid yang mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental dengan murid yang tidak mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental. Min skor bagi kumpulan yang mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental lebih tinggi berbanding min skor bagi kumpulan yang tidak mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental. Walau bagaimanapun, tidak terdapat perbezaan yang signifikan (p < 0.05) dalam pencapaian matematik masalah berayat antara murid yang mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental dengan murid yang tidak mempelajari abakus-aritmetik mental.
