Effects Of Peer Collaboration On Attitude Towards Mathematics In The New Normal

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of peer collaboration on the attitude towards mathematics of teacher education students in the New Normal. This study used accidental sampling to utilise fifty first-year Bachelor in Secondary Education students of the West Visayas State University-Pototan Campus during the second semester of the school year 2022-2023. Data was gathered using a modified Attitude Towards Mathematics Scale adopted from Chaudhary (2020). Descriptive statistics were used to measure means and standard deviations. Wilcoxon Signed-Ranks Test was used, and all sets at .05 alpha for the two-tailed test were used. Results showed a significant difference in the students' attitudes toward mathematics before and after using the peer collaboration approach in learning Mathematics. It was concluded that a significant difference in the students' attitudes toward mathematics before and after the intervention indicates that the peer collaboration approach effectively improves students' attitudes toward mathematics.
