Abstract
Comparison of collaborative and traditional teaching in enhancing mathematics students’ scores at 8th grade was the purpose of this study. It also investigated the transformation in the students’ beliefs about the teaching of mathematics while studying through the collaboration of teachers. An experimental design was used to conduct the experiment on 118 students. Mathematics achievement test consisting of 32 items were finalized from items pool developed by NEAS. Structured interviews were conducted three times in the study to investigate the transformation in students’ beliefs. The interviews were videotaped. Data collected from test was analyzed using average, standard deviation, and 2x2 ANOVA. The qualitative data were first transcribed then analyzed using percentages and line graph. It was found that teaching through collaborative settings improved students scores in mathematics as compared to traditional teaching and a clear positive transformation in students’ beliefs about the teaching of mathematics, was noted.
