Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of performance assessment that incorporated the use of graphic calculator on secondary students’ mathematics achievement. This study adopted a quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group design and random sampling to select eleven public secondary schools from six states in Malaysia that represent different geographical locations and diverse economic, social and cultural backgrounds of the student population in the country. Quantitative data were collected through pretest and posttest to assess secondary students’ mathematics achievement before and after the intervention. The results show that the experimental groups in all the eleven schools performed significantly better than the control groups in the mathematics achievement test after the intervention, indicating that graphic calculator-based performance assessment was effective in improving secondary students’ mathematics achievement.
