Assessing Engineering Technology Students' Attitude Toward Problem Solving in Mathematics Using Rasch Model

The students’ attitude towards problem solving (SATPS) is designed to measure attitude based on three aspects that include patience, motivation and willingness. The purpose of the study is to conduct measurement and evaluation of (SATPS) instrument using Rasch Model to ensure the validity of the instrument. The instrument consists of 20 items was then analyzed using WINSTEP 3.69.1.11 with the intention to produce the evidence of validity on the instrument based on item response theory. The data is collected from 153 engineering technology students in a technical institute. The findings revealed that the instrument has reliability value of 0.95 and separation index is 4.42. The person reliability has value of 0.64 and separation index is 1.32. The fit statistics suggests some of the items were modified accordingly. The modification of the instrument would benefit to future study with regard to validation and reliability of SATPS

An Investigation on Ict Application in Learning Mathematics among Engineering Technology Students

Mathematics teaching and learning is an important factor that leads to the success of the students’ achievement. Since mathematics is one of the important subjects at Malaysian Institute of Information Technology (MIIT), Universiti Kuala Lumpur, this study aims to investigate on ICT application in learning mathematics among engineering technology students. The use of e learning and internet resources including social networking medium is integrated in traditional approach teaching mathematics. Ten bachelor students from Networking System program were selected to be the research participants. Semi-structured interviews and documents analysis were used to gather the information on their experience in learning mathematics using the ICT. The research findings revealed that the ICT could assist students in their understanding of the mathematics concept and were able to solve problem solving. This research also draws conclusion and recommendations to improve lecturers’ style of teaching by using ICT equipment as a tool to make the teaching and learning environment more meaningful and interesting
