Abstract

. This qualitative article utilised pre-and post-interviews as data collection instruments. Ten of the best-performing Grade 12 learners at an ex-model C school in Gauteng province in South Africa were purposively selected to participate in the research. The findings revealed that peer tutors view their role to motivate learners to learn mathematics peculiar to seven positions, which can inform future research on intervention strategies to improve mathematics performance. This article introduces research on an adapted use of the ARCS model of motivation in motivating learners to learn mathematics, which is a novel way of bringing new perspectives to research on motivation in mathematics at secondary school level.

同伴导师对他们在激励学习者学习数学中的作用的看法

这篇定性文章使用了访谈前后的数据收集工具。南非豪登省一所前C模式学校的10名表现最好的12年级学生被有意选择参加这项研究。研究结果表明，同伴导师认为他们的作用是激励学习者学习七个职位特有的数学，这可以为未来关于提高数学成绩的干预策略的研究提供信息。本文介绍了将ARCS动机模型应用于激励学习者学习数学的研究，这是一种为中学数学动机研究带来新视角的新方法。

期刊介绍： Pythagoras is a scholarly research journal that provides a forum for the presentation and critical discussion of current research and developments in mathematics education at both national and international level. Pythagoras publishes articles that significantly contribute to our understanding of mathematics teaching, learning and curriculum studies, including reports of research (experiments, case studies, surveys, philosophical and historical studies, etc.), critical analyses of school mathematics curricular and teacher development initiatives, literature reviews, theoretical analyses, exposition of mathematical thinking (mathematical practices) and commentaries on issues relating to the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels of education.
