Effects of REACT Learning Model Based on Riau–Malay Culture Towards Mathematical Problem-Solving Ability and Achievement Motivation amongst High School Students
Main Article Content
Abstract
This quasi-experimental study was conducted to determine the effects of the Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating and Transferring (REACT) teaching model, which was based on the Riau–Malay cultural context, on the ability of high school students to solve mathematics problem and their motivation to achieve high performance. A total of 287 high school students were involved in this study. The treatment group consisted of 143 students, whereas the control group comprised 144 students. Data were analysed using the SPSS 25.0 software. Findings showed that students in the treatment and control groups had significantly different abilities to solve mathematical problems and motivations to achieve high performance. Students who underwent the REACT teaching model had better ability and higher motivation than those who learned conventionally. Findings imply the importance of using the REACT model based on the Riau–Malay cultural context to enhance students’ mathematical problem-solving ability and motivation for improved performance.
