4.1.3: Descriptive statistics of the responses of 5th graders
Enjoyment
Table 4.1.13 and Figure 4.1.11 below show that 5th graders expressed neither
agreement nor disagreement (3<M<4) that Practical work, Using a computer, Teacher
explanation, Whole-class discussion, and Group discussion promoted their enjoyment in
learning mathematics. They disagreed (2<M<3) that Reading a textbook, Individual work
and Individual help promoted enjoyment. These differences were statistically significant.
Importantly, no teaching method overall was agreed or strongly agreed to promote
enjoyment, although there was a wide distribution of responses.
