Perbezaan Gender dalam Pengajaran Matematik menggunakan Pendekatan Gaya Pengajaran Grasha-Riechmann (The Gender Differences in Teaching Mathematics using Grasha-Riechmann Teaching Style Approach)

Sim Sze Hui, Mohd Effendi Ewan Mohd Matore

Abstract


Gaya Pengajaran Grasha-Riechmann berpotensi tinggi untuk diaplikasikan dalam Matematik khususnya untuk membantu meningkatkan pengetahuan pendidik guru. Namun begitu, tidak banyak perhatian diberikan kepada usaha mengenal pasti corak gaya pengajaran guru Matematik di Sekolah Rendah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina (SJKC) serta menjawab persoalan tentang perbezaan gaya pengajaran mengikut gender. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini bertujuan mengenal pasti corak Gaya Pengajaran Grasha-Riechmann dalam kalangan guru Matematik sekolah rendah dan perbezaannya mengikut gender. Pendekatan kuantitatif melalui tinjauan telah diaplikasikan kepada 97 orang guru Matematik SJKC Kepong, Kuala Lumpur menggunakan teknik persampelan rawak mudah. Instrumen ini diadaptasi daripada Soal Selidik Gaya Pengajaran Grasha-Riechmann (1996) yang mengukur lima gaya pengajaran iaitu Gaya Pengajaran Pakar, Gaya Pengajaran Autoriti Formal, Gaya Pengajaran Model Personal, Gaya Pengajaran Delegator. dan Gaya Pengajaran Fasilitator. Dapatan menunjukkan Gaya Pengajaran Model Peribadi adalah yang paling dominan, dan Gaya Pengajaran Fasilitator sebagai gaya yang paling tidak dominan. Ujian Mann-Whitney U mendapati perbezaan Gaya Pengajaran Grasha-Riechmann yang signifikan dalam kalangan guru Matematik berdasarkan gender, khususnya untuk Gaya Pengajaran Kuasa Formal, Gaya Pengajaran Fasilitator dan Gaya Pengajaran Delegator. Kajian ini memberikan implikasi praktikal terhadap pembangunan profesional pendidik untuk mempelbagaikan gaya pengajaran mereka dan menyesuaikannya seiring keperluan pembelajaran murid. Penemuan ini mencetuskan idea untuk mendapatkan pemahaman yang lebih baik tentang pengetahuan pendidik guru matematik kepada topik Matematik yang lebih spesifik dan kompleks.

Abstract

Grasha-Riechmann's Teaching Styles have a high potential to be applied in Mathematics specially to help increase teacher educators’ knowledge. However, very little attention has been paid to the study in identifying the teaching styles patterns of Mathematics teachers at the primary school National-Type Chinese Primary Schools (SJKC) as well as to see this teaching style differs by the role of gender. This study aims to identify the patterns of Grasha-Riechmann Teaching Styles among primary school Mathematics teachers and their differences according to gender. The quantitative approach through a survey was applied to 97 Mathematics teachers of SJKC Kepong, Kuala Lumpur using the simple random sampling method. The instrument was adapted from the Grasha-Riechmann Teaching Styles Questionnaire (1996), which measures five teaching styles such as Personal Model Teaching Style, Expert Teaching Style, Formal Authority Teaching Style, Delegator Teaching Style, and Facilitator Teaching Style. The results showed that the Personal Model Teaching Style is the most dominant, and Facilitator Teaching Style as the least dominant style. The Mann-Whitney U Test found significant differences in the Grasha-Riechmann Teaching Styles among Mathematics teachers based on gender, particularly for Formal Authority Teaching Style, Facilitator Teaching Style, and Delegator Teaching Style. The study provides practical implications for educators’ professional development to diversify their teaching styles and adapt them to the needs of student learning. These findings trigger ideas to get a better understanding of the mathematics teacher educators’ knowledge to another more specific and complex Mathematics topic.

Keywords: Grasha-Riechmann; Teaching Style; Gender; Mathematics; Primary School.
