Abstrak: The advancement of technology has urged all teachers to use technology in teaching, particularly difficult subjects like mathematics. However, the diverse backgrounds applied result in varying guidance and insights on teaching and learning, despite the common use of multimedia in mathematics education. This study highlighted some important factors in determining an effective mathematics lesson using multimedia. This study employed a correlational research design to collect quantitative data. A total of 200 preservice teachers from a public university participated in this study. A questionnaire was constructed to gauge the preservice teachers’ perceptions of their lecturers’ use of multimedia in teaching mathematics. The regression analysis showed a significant relationship between the factors of use of multimedia (namely guidance and preparation) and the perceived effectiveness of multimedia. The model is significant with R square of ‘value’ 26.4%, indicating the 26.4% of variance in “perceived effectiveness of multimedia” is explained by the two dimensions (guidance and preparation) in “perceived use of multimedia.”. This study suggests universities should organise a mentor-mentee programme for pre-service teachers’ improvement of using multimedia as an instructional strategy in teaching mathematics while they have more other preparation, such as skills of designing instruction.
Abstract: Kemajuan teknologi telah menggesa semua guru menggunakan teknologi dalam pengajaran, khususnya mata pelajaran yang sukar seperti matematik. Walau bagaimanapun, latar belakang kepelbagaian yang diterapkan telah menghasilkan panduan dan pandangan yang berbeza-beza tentang pengajaran dan pembelajaran. Maka, kajian ini mengetengahkan beberapa faktor penting dalam menentukan pengajaran matematik yang berkesan dengan menggunakan multimedia. Kajian ini menggunakan reka bentuk kajian korelasi untuk mengumpul data kuantitatif. Seramai 200 orang guru pelatih dari sebuah universiti awam telah menyertai kajian ini. Satu soal selidik telah dibina untuk mengukur persepsi guru pelatih terhadap penggunaan multimedia pensyarah mereka dalam pengajaran matematik. Analisis regresi menunjukkan hubungan yang signifikan antara faktor penggunaan multimedia (iaitu bimbingan dan persediaan) berdasarkan persepsi terhadap keberkesanan multimedia. Model ini penting dengan nilai R-square sebanyak 26.4%, menunjukkan 26.4% varian dalam "persepsi terhadap keberkesanan multimedia" dijelaskan oleh dua dimensi (panduan dan penyediaan). Kajian ini mencadangkan bahawa universiti perlu menganjurkan program mentor-mentee untuk penambahbaikan guru pelatih dalam menggunakan multimedia sebagai strategi pengajaran dalam pembelajaran matematik di samping mempunyai lebih banyak persediaan lain, seperti kemahiran mereka bentuk pengajaran.
