Abstract
High school learners Mathematics performance have a direct relationship to a nation's scientific and technological improvement and learners' competence in Mathematics and the Sciences is important for their social and economic standing (Othman, et al., 2012, Reddy, et al., 2015). The 2015 TIMMS report states that the slow level of change in the contextual conditions contributes to the levels of poverty and nature of inequality in the country and this rate of change is insufficient to meet the educational expectations and needs of the country (Reddy, et al., 2016). In the 2019 TIMMS report, Reddy, et al. conclude that the rate of improvement in Mathematics has declined (Reddy, et al., 2020). Upon analysing the Grade 12 National Senior Certificate Results for the period 2016 to 2019, the researchers found that the performances of learners in Mathematics has adversely affected the overall pass rate of Grade 12 learners, within each high school, in the Phambela Circuit. In addition, parents expressed concern that the poor Mathematics pass rate deny their children the opportunity to enrol for Mathematics and Science related courses at institutions of higher learning.

高中学生的数学成绩与一个国家的科学技术进步有直接关系,学生的数学和科学能力对他们的社会和经济地位很重要(Othman, et al., 2012, Reddy, et al., 2015)。2015年TIMMS报告指出,背景条件的缓慢变化水平导致了该国的贫困水平和不平等性质,这种变化速度不足以满足该国的教育期望和需求(Reddy等人,2016)。在2019年TIMMS报告中,Reddy等人得出结论,数学的进步速度已经下降(Reddy等人,2020)。在分析了2016年至2019年的12年级全国高级证书成绩后,研究人员发现,学生在数学方面的表现对潘贝拉地区每所高中12年级学生的整体通过率产生了不利影响。此外,家长们还表示担心,由于数学通过率低,他们的孩子没有机会进入高等院校学习数学和科学相关课程。关键词:混合式学习,脚手架,概念发展
