Improving Grade 7 Students’ Reading Comprehension in Relation to Mathematical Analysis Through Clue Word Identification
Abstract
Enhancing students’ capacity to comprehend what they read is an essential educational goal. The effect of clue word identification on students' reading comprehension in mathematical analysis was examined in this action research study. It is essential to comprehend the reading material in order to analyze and interpret mathematical difficulties. With the use of this approach, students can better grasp how words and numbers can be used to solve problems by manipulating important concepts and identifying suitable answers. A pre-test was administered to 35 participants, who were then given a week to discuss the hint word strategy and a post-test to gauge its efficacy. The mean scores increased from 8.89 in the pre-test to 16.40 in the post-test, indicating a significant improvement in the outcomes. The majority of students showed improved results, demonstrating the effectiveness of the intervention. Some students maintained their scores the same, while a single student exhibited no improvement, indicating the need for additional one-on-one assistance. The results of the study showed that the identification of clue words considerably improves students' mathematical comprehension and problem-solving abilities. Teachers are urged to use this approach together with other innovative methods to improve their teaching abilities in a variety of subject areas. Furthermore, it is advised that clue word identification and related techniques be included in the regular curriculum for teaching disciplines other than mathematics. Heads of schools are asked to assist teachers in developing their teaching skills through workshops, seminars, and training sessions. This will help to create a good learning environment that will pique students' interest in and understanding of mathematics. By implementing these techniques, teachers can help students communicate mathematical concepts more effectively and foster a dynamic and interesting learning environment. This study emphasizes the importance of creative teaching strategies in improving student achievement.
