Creativity, Communication Skills, and Habits of Mind through Mathematical Modeling of Natural Disasters
Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2023, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the interrelationships among students' mathematical creativity, mathematical communication skills, and mathematical habits of mind (HoM) after exposure to Mathematical Modeling (MM) on natural disasters. It also aimed at ascertaining the difference in the students' mathematical creativity, mathematical communication skills, and mathematical habits of mind (HoM) before and after being exposed to MM. The study's respondents were the Grade 10 students at Philippine Science High School-Western Visayas Campus who are enrolled in selected topics in Mathematics for the school year 2018-2019. A validated test on MM on natural disasters was used to determine students' mathematical creativity, mathematical communication skills, and mathematical HoM accompanied by validated and reliability-tested rubrics. The results disclosed that students have a developing level of mathematical creativity, a beginning level of communication skills, and average HoM before being exposed to MM. However, students have a proficient level of mathematical creativity, developing communication skills, and high HoM after being exposed to MM. So, significant differences existed in the students' mathematical creativity, mathematical communication skills, and mathematical HoM before and after being exposed to MM. There are significant relationships among students' mathematical creativity, mathematical communication skills, and mathematical HoM after exposure to MM in natural disasters. Thus, teaching and learning mathematics should encourage the inclusion of MM in the curriculum and should be considered as a strategy in teaching mathematics to make the learning of mathematics more relevant to the students.
