Technical Students’ Achievement in Mathematics Using Visual Learning Method

Abstract

This study aims to identify student performance in Mathematics through the topic of Function using visual learning method. Case study was employed for this study and a mathematics test which composed of two questions that covered topic of Function were administered to 72 selected technical students in University Tun Hussein Malaysia. This study revealed that technical students performance in Mathematics are average to low. The result showed that 8.3% of the students answered correctly, 69.4% answers the questions half correct while the rest got below 4 marks. The most common error made by students were found to be sketch the graph based on the equation given. This study revealed that technical students have a poor visual learning method in Mathematics II. This is shows that the lecturer need to emphasize visual learning method to assist students gain more understanding of this method and applied them on the right topics in Mathematics.
