Developing Students\u27 Creative Constructs in Mathematics with Problem-Based (PB) and Problem Posing (PP) Tasks
No full textThe purpose of this experimental study was to examine the creative constructs of students enrolled in Differential Calculus at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. This study was composed of 132 engineering and mathematics education students enrolled in two different semesters. The experimental group was chosen randomly, exposed to the problem-based HALP model teaching approach and problem posing while the control group was taught using Polya’s problem-solving heuristics. Multiple Solution Tasks (MST) test in Calculus was administered to determine their creative constructs which can be measured in terms of their level of mathematical fluency, flexibility and novelty of solutions before and after the experiment. Results indicated that the experimental group exhibited a remarkable improvement of their mathematical fluency and flexibility but still in the developing level when they are required to posit novel solutions to problems as influenced by the problem-based HALP and problem posing activities. Hence, it is recommended that mathematics teachers may utilize these methods to successfully develop students’ mathematical creativity and future research may also be explored on integrating technology and how it can influence developing student’s mathematical creativeness as well as the mediating role of their affective domains and IQ (intelligent quotient).

Factors Responsible for Violent Behaviours among Secondary School Students as Expressed by Teachers in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State
No full textThis study investigated the factors responsible for violent behaviours among secondary school students as expressed by teachers in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State. The population for this study comprised all teachers in Ilorin metropolis. A researcher-designed questionnaire was designed to gather data from the respondents. The validity and reliability of the instrument were established. The data collected were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. For the demographic data, percentages were employed while t-test statistical tools were employed to analyze the hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that the factors responsible for violent behaviours are extreme annoyance displayed by parents towards their children, extreme harshness towards children by parents, and inconsistent parental responses to children’s needs among others. There were no significant differences in the factors responsible for violent behaviours among secondary school students as expressed by teachers in Ilorin metropolis based on gender and years in teaching. It was recommended that counselling centres should be established and made functional in all secondary schools in Ilorin and Nigeria in general
