Abstract

Mathematics is often perceived as a difficult subject with many students failing to understand why they need to learn the subject. The teaching and learning of mathematics mostly has relied on the transfer of information from the teachers to their students. Therefore, teaching and learning of mathematics should be reformed in order to be more meaningful for students. This study examined the usefulness of implementing Connectedness dimension of the Productive Pedagogies framework, as a means of improving the quality of teaching and learning of mathematics. In all cases, using the elements of Connectedness dimension of the Productive Pedagogies framework helped teachers to make mathematics more relevant to students, by including students' prior knowledge, connecting the lessons with other topics, integrating other subjects into the lessons and providing sufficient relevant illustrations. As one of the impacts, the students became more enthusiastic to attend their mathematics classes and displayed more on-task and engaged behaviours during the learning activities. The success of the participant-teachers, by applying the Connectedness dimension of the Productive Pedagogies framework has demonstrated its overall usefulness and provided lessons from which further use of the framework might build upon.
