Exploring an Effective Approach of Teaching
Mathematics During Covid-19 Pandemic |
|
|
Many education institutions in Uganda and the world at large
were closed in March, 2020 in order to slow down the spread of
the Corona Virus. More than fifteen million students and
teachers in Uganda were affected, all education activities such
as teaching, and assessing of learners were prematurely stopped.
Different approaches have been adopted to ensure continuity of
learning during the lockdown and closure of schools. Most of
these approaches are aiming at maintaining social distance and
avoiding mass gathering during learning. The teaching of
mathematics involves hands on problem solving, this means that
meaningful learning of mathematics is through student teacher
interactions. However, due the social distancing practice of
slowing down the spread of Covid-19, the physical
student-teacher interaction is impossible. The purpose of this
study is to explore the Non-Student-Teacher Interaction (NSTI)
ICT approaches that can be used during the teaching and learning
of mathematics. An experimental approach was adopted during this
study, a sample of forty-five mathematics students at Mountains
of the Moon University was used and the results of the study
indicated that video recording of lessons is an effective
NSTI-ICT-approach of teaching mathematics.
Keywords: Covid-19, students-teacher interactions,
teaching approaches, video recordings, zoom, printable
materials.
