A sense Ofsecurity
Table 4.1.9 and Figure 4.1.8 below show that on average 8th grade teachers believed
(4≤M<5) that Individual help promoted their pupils’ sense of security in learning
mathematics most. They expressed neither agreement nor disagreement (3<M<4) that
Practical work, Using a computer, Reading a textbook, Teacher explanation, Individual
work, Whole-class discussion and Group discussion promoted a sense of security. Of
these the most positive responses were in relation to Individual help, followed by
Individual work. The results of a repeated measure ANOVA showed that these findings
were statistically significant. There was greater variation in responses for Reading a
textbook.
