Abstract

In this 21st century, the rapid development and growth of technology has en-hanced teaching and learning experiences effectively in the delivery of learning contents. However, there are still lacking of integration of information technology (IT) in teaching although IT is pervasive. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between Information Technology (IT) capabilities, learning expe-riences and performance of teaching and learning Mathematics. Multimedia Prob-ability and Statistics System (MMPASS) was developed and used as the IT ca-pability framework to determine the effects on students’ learning experiences to-wards performance of Mathematics. The sample size of this study were 66 stu-dents of foundation programme who are taking Probability and Statistics subject. The subject was delivered to two different groups of students; “with” and “with-out” the MMPASS. Findings showed that students’ learning experiences and performances of their academic achievement have been improved by using MMPASS. Hence, MMPASS is one of the effective IT capability in improving performance of teaching and learning Mathematics.

Highlights

In today’s digital age, information technology (IT) capabilities facilitate teaching and learning Mathematics
It is proven that Multimedia Probability and Statistics System (MMPASS) is helpful in teaching and learning Probability and Statistics
The findings of the result found that MMPASS has improved performance of teaching and learning Mathematics, especially in Probability & Statistics subject

Summary

Introduction

In today’s digital age, IT capabilities facilitate teaching and learning Mathematics. Students did not achieve a good result through traditional way of teaching and learning Mathematics because of uninteresting instructional contents and low confidence level. Some concepts of Mathematics subject are too complex to teach in a traditional way. Multimedia content learning allows students to visualise the learning contents [1]. Multimedia Probability and Statistics System (MMPASS) is developed in this study as IT capability framework. The role of MMPASS is to teach Probability and Statistics subject in multimedia content learning. MMPASS can contribute a better learning experience, increase students’ interest, increase students’ confidence level and better performance in Mathematics. The changes in students’ learning experiences can contribute to the improvement of academic performance iJET ‒ Vol 15, No 1, 2020
