Abstract

M-learning is a fast growing concept of learning. With the emergence of new tools and media, mobile content is suggested as a powerful means to increase knowledge via the exploration of interactivity, multimedia and 2D animation for creative edutainment and communication in the future. The title of the project is "Mobile Maths Courseware: Problem Solving Guide for Primary Schools". The target users of this application are pupils of Level 1 primary school. There are three modules incorporated in the application; 1) addition, 2) multiplication and 3) quiz. This courseware is developed to complement existing learning system, The problem is that students cannot really tackle the problem-solving questions which are assigned by their teachers. One of the solutions for such common problem is by developing mobile learning courseware that plays as an additional tool in teaching and learning process. The learning technique that is used in the project is Accelerated Learning Technique. It guides the users or students to better understand and hence, answer the question correctly. The methodology used in this project is ADDIE Model. It comprises problem solving questions and students are required to solve them accordingly. Surveys among primary school teachers were carried out in order to retrieve their opinions on this courseware. The respondents consist of 50 teachers of Sekolah Kebangsaan Ayer Keroh, Melaka. The research found that ninety percent respondents agree that the students face difficulty when it comes to problem solving questions. This is probably due to the lack of student's ability in understanding the questions. The result also showed that students do not understand mathematical terms in problem solving questions. The findings of this study are useful for Mathematics teachers to help primary school students to answer the questions better. After the project is being implemented, the testing will be performed to gain the feedback from the users.
