THE EFFECT OF PROJECT-BASED LEARNING ON STUDENTS’ ACHIEVEMENT IN MATHEMATICS
Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this research was to investigate the effect of project-based learning (PBL) on second-course education mathematics students’ achievement. The study was carried out 5 weeks with 37 students in a principle of geometry course at SuleymanDemirel University in Kazakhstan.The final results were obtained to measure students’ academic achievement as pre-test and post-test were obtained.Data were analyzed using a t-test. The results of the achievement test indicated PBL has a significant positive effect on students’ achievement in the principle of geometry course.References
