The study investigated the impact and the importance of the use of circle diagrams in
the application of circle theorems towards geometry instructions. This study sought to
find out what type of instructional approach mathematics teachers use in delivering the
concept of circle theorems in mathematics classrooms. Also to find out perceptions
students hold towards the learning of circle theorems in geometry. The study also
sought to look at the extent diagrams can be used to improve upon learning for
application of the concepts of circle theorems in geometry.
The study was carried out in Mankessim Senior High School (SHS) in the Central
region. The sample consisted of 63 form two students of the selected Senior High
School. Business two (2) class was chosen for the study in the school. All the students
in the Business class were used with the exception of two students who were absent
during the start of the study. Questionnaires, Pre- test and Post- test were administered
on mathematics teachers and students in the school. The data were then examined to
obtain the attitudes students hold towards the use of circle diagrams in the application
questions relating to circle theorems in geometry.
The findings from the research questions were analysed which indicated that majority
of the students liked the use of diagrams to enable them understand the geometry
concept, like in the case of circle theorems. Also, majority of the students felt satisfied
when using the circle diagrams in learning the concepts of circle theorems in geometry.
The findings from pre-test and the post-test results indicated that the understanding and
application of circle theorems using diagrams have improved upon the level of
conceptual knowledge of the students in a given mathematical area. The results
indicated that students’ knowledge and understanding and application have improved as
a result of the use of circle diagrams. |
