Abstract:
The current curriculum promotes a student-centered classroom and emphasizes the importance of problem-solving in mathematics. Designing activities that support students in class and encourage their engagement have posed a challenge to the teachers. This study explores the use of interactive learning with digital tools on the problem-solving skills and engagement of Grade 7 students. Digital interactive learning (DIL) and non-digital interactive learning (non-DIL) class have results concentrated on very low problem-solving skills on pre-test and are engaged in behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. Both groups have also revealed an increase on their post-test and retention test on problem-solving test with some students having high level skills. Post-test on engagement showed to be still engaged in behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. Both post-test and retention test revealed a significant difference between groups with F-value of 7.496 and p-value of .008 on post-test and F-value of 10.749 and p-value of .002 on retention test in their problem-solving skills. It is recommended to consider interactive learning in mathematics class to help the students in their problem-solving skills and engagement.
