Meta-Analysis Study: Implementation of Rapport Element in Mathematics Education

Abstract

Rapport is one of the elements that can be implemented among the students which aims to help them in enhancing their motivation and achievement during their conducted lessons in mathematics. Furthermore, it is needed to analyse critically and synthesize the trend of research and the method used in researching before implementing the rapport element in mathematics subjects in Malaysia. This research has analysed upon four articles related to implementation of rapport element which have been randomly picked from other researchers in Malaysia within a timeframe of 2016 to 2021. The results found that most of the previous researchers tend to choose the quantitative research method which adapted surveys design on collecting data over their research. The samples involved secondary school and high-level education students. Based on the 4 articles that were selected, it was found that there was a study on the effectiveness of the rapport elements in the process of teaching and learning as well as studies related to the significant relationship between the rapport element and other variables such as attitude, parents’ involvement and peers’ supports and also mathematics performance amounting to three researches. Overall, the research conducted by Malaysian researchers proved that the rapport element is suitable to be implemented among the students that help to result in better achievement besides providing motivational support for them. The rapport element will also help the students to have a better experience of learning mathematics in class.
