Research output: Contribution to journalArticleScientificpeer-review

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of communication - oriented mathematical writing strategies on students' mathematics achievement and mathematical propensity. In order to achieve the purpose, three types of communicative math writing learning strategies such as writing their own thoughts and feelings, writing problem solving process, and explaining the mathematical concepts. In the comparative group, general lessons based on textbooks and tutorials were conducted. As the results, the students in the experimental group showed a significant improvement in mathematics achievement and a positive effect on the mathematical propensity as compared with the comparison group.
