Abstract

The authors applied a one group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental research design to one section of GVAHS with 45 students to look into the effectiveness of journal writing in mathematics performance consequently preparing the students to technical subjects in the STEM track of the K to 12 curricula. The findings of the study revealed that journals in mathematics produce better and improved scores for students in problem solving tasks. Likewise, journal writing helped the students communicate with their Math Teacher. It can improve their abilities on how to use mathematical tools, symbols and numbers, use math models, analyze, understand and solve problems preparing them for higher mathematics and other related sciences. Also, journal writing helped students to learn how to transfer ideas clearly and convey their feelings and thoughts effectively. Likewise, it enhanced different characteristics that they can use in pursuing the STEM track andin living in the globally competitive world of work.

利用数学期刊写作帮助初中生进入科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)轨道

作者对GVAHS的一个部分的45名学生进行了一组前测后测准实验研究设计，以研究期刊写作对数学成绩的有效性，从而为学生在K到12课程的STEM课程中的技术科目做好准备。研究结果显示，数学期刊能让学生在解决问题方面取得更好的成绩。同样，写日记有助于学生与数学老师交流。它可以提高他们使用数学工具、符号和数字、使用数学模型、分析、理解和解决问题的能力，为他们学习高等数学和其他相关科学做好准备。此外，写日记帮助学生学习如何清晰地传递思想，有效地传达他们的感受和想法。同样，它增强了他们在追求STEM轨道和在全球竞争激烈的工作世界中生活时可以使用的不同特征。
