Development of an Instructional Model on Mathematization to Enhance Mathematical Literacy for Elementary Education Pre-service Teachers
Keywords:
Mathematization, Mathematical Literacy, Instructional model, Pre-service teacherAbstract
The objectives of this research were (1) to develop an instructional model based on mathematization approach to enhance the mathematical literacy for elementary education pre-service teachers and (2) to investigate the effects of the developed instructional model. The study was conducted in two phases. The first phase involved the development of the instructional model, and the second phase implemented the model in classroom settings, applying mathematization approach. The participants were 68 elementary education pre-service teachers from the Faculty of Education, Ramkhamhaeng University, selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument consisted of lesson plans designed according to mathematization approach. Data collection employed a mathematical literacy test to assess the effectiveness of the model. Data were analyzed using the mean (M), standard deviation (S), and paired-sample t-test. The results revealed that (1) the developed instructional model comprised four steps: Step 1: understanding real-life problem situations; Step 2: determining approaches and planning problem-solving; Step 3: solving mathematical problems to obtain answers; and Step 4: summarizing and interpreting the answers in relation to real-life problem situations; and (2) the mathematical literacy of elementary education pre-service teachers after the intervention was significantly higher than before the intervention at the .05 level.
