Analyzing The Progress Of Primary Level Students In Mathematics Taught By Problem Solving Method

Abstract

Many researches have been carried out to examine the comparative efficiency of applied methods in teaching Mathematics at primary level but no research has been concluded in finding the best method to improve the potential of learner and removing the fear of Mathematics. This is a quasi experimental research aims to analyze the progress of primary level students in Mathematics taught by Problem Solving Method The population co[1]nsists of all students of Public Schools studying at Primary Level. Sample is selected on the basis of purposive sampling. Out of 27 students 14 students are kept in Experimental group (EP) and 13 students in Control group (CP). Results of post test (PoT) revealed that null hypothesis is not accepted and alternative hypothesis is accepted. Hence there is a clear change seen in the achievement numbers of grade 4 students taught concerned method. Proper utilization of this method is recommended at primary level.
