Exploratory teaching: Integrating applet to teach arithmetic multiplication operation
| Resumo: | Foundational arithmetic skills in early education and understanding effective teaching methodologies are fundamental. This paper studies how exploratory teaching (ET) impacts the integration of an applet and its effect on understanding multiplication in a second-grade primary school. The data collected assessed students’ knowledge levels and overall performance. The intervention sessions involved tasks in an applet to understand the meanings of the multiplication operation. The ET model was structured with five sessions, each with four phases. The results indicated that this method significantly improved students’ arithmetic self-efficacy and effectively integrated applets into the classroom for enhanced learning of arithmetic operations. |
