A sense Ofsecurity
In relation to sense of security, 5th graders neither agreed nor disagreed (3≤M<4) that
Practical work, Using a computer, Teacher explanation, Individual work, Whole-class
discussion and Group discussion promoted their sense of security. They disagreed
(2<M<3) that Reading a textbook and Individual help promoted it. These findings were
statistically significant. Overall, no teaching method was agreed or strongly agreed to
promote a sense of security, but there was a relatively large distribution of responses
(1.0<SD) across statements (seeTable 4.1.15 and Figure 4.1.13).

A sense of progress
Table 4.1.16 and Figure 4.1.14 below show that 5th graders expressed neither
agreement nor disagreement (3≤M<4) that any of the teaching methods taken up in this
study promoted their sense of progress in learning mathematics. Overall, no teaching
method was agreed or strongly agreed to promote a sense of progress in learning
mathematics. However, there was a wide distribution of responses (1.0<SD).
