Deployment Ofdifferent teaching methods
Table 4.1.11 and Figure 4.1.10 below show that 8th grade teachers reported that
Teacher explanation, Individual work, and Individual help were nearly always (4≤M<5)
deployed in their mathematics classes. Reading a textbook was sometimes (3≤M<4)
deployed, while Practical work and Whole-class discussion were hardly ever (2≤M<3)
deployed. Using a computer and Group discussion were never (1<M<2) deployed. These
findings were statistically significant. A relatively large distribution (1.0<SD) existed in
relation to the frequency of deployment of Reading a textbook, Whole-class discussion,
and Group discussion, suggesting considerable variation between teachers in the use of
these methods. Overall, the most commonly deployed method, Teacher explanation,
was not perceived as being highly beneficial in positively promoting any of the pupils’
attitudinal responses.
