Abstract
Integrated science and mathematics education provide meaningful learning to the students through different strategies such as the use of real-life activities in the classroom. This study focuses on how science experimentation can be integrated in mathematics through process integration approach. To determine how science integration in the teaching of mathematics lesson can be successful, the researchers conducted a lesson study that enables planning, observing, analyzing, and refining the ‘research lesson’ on integrating the two discipline. Themes on the implementation of the research lesson were identified and were given suggestions to come up with a more established lesson.
Highlights
The integration of Mathematics and Science has long been a subject of discussion in the academic community, as well as being a practice that has been recommended by several educators [1]
For students to carry out the scientific processes, mathematics is required as part of scientific research [3]
This study is conducted with the following objectives: (1) to design an exploration task that integrates science experimentation in the teaching of Direct Variation; (2) to analyze how the integration of science experimentation can be effective in helping students learn mathematics, and (3) to examine how the lesson could be improved using the principles of Lesson Study as a tool for evaluating classroom practice
Summary
The integration of Mathematics and Science has long been a subject of discussion in the academic community, as well as being a practice that has been recommended by several educators [1]. Through the principles of Lesson Study, a research lesson was crafted based from one of the five types of Mathematics and Science integration discussed by Miller, Davison, and Metheny [6] that is, process integration approach. An exploration task was developed that enable the students to delve in scientific processes through experimentation which aims to concretize students’ notion of direct variation. This study is conducted with the following objectives: (1) to design an exploration task that integrates science experimentation in the teaching of Direct Variation; (2) to analyze how the integration of science experimentation can be effective in helping students learn mathematics, and (3) to examine how the lesson could be improved using the principles of Lesson Study as a tool for evaluating classroom practice
