Kajian ini dijalankan bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti keupayaan murid Tahun 3 sekolah rendah menyelesaikan masalah matematik berayat berdasarkan Model Penyelesaian Masalah Polya. Kajian ini merupakan kajian kualitatif dengan reka bentuk kajian kes. Pemilihan peserta kajian dilakukan secara persampelan bertujuan dan melibatkan seorang peserta Tahun 3 di sebuah sekolah kebangsaan di Daerah Kinta Utara. Peserta ini berada pada tahap penguasaan baik dalam matematik. Pengumpulan data menggunakan Teknik Think Aloud, Protokol Temu Bual dan Senarai Semak Pemerhatian. Dapatan kajian yang berbentuk rakaman video, skrip penulisan penyelesaian masalah dan catatan penyelidik dianalisis secara kualitatif melalui lima proses iaitu penerokaan data kajian, transkripsi, mengorganisasi, pengkodan dan analisis dapatan. Analisis menjelaskan proses penyelesaian masalah oleh murid merujuk kepada Model Polya, khususnya strategi melukis gambar rajah. Hasil kajian menunjukkan peserta telah melaksanakan proses memahami masalah, merancang dan melaksanakan strategi, menyemak semula penyelesaian serta menggunakan strategi melukis gambar rajah secara agak menyeluruh dan berkesan dalam menyelesaikan empat soalan matematik berayat yang dikemukakan. Kesimpulannya, peserta berupaya menyelesaikan masalah matematik berayat dengan melakukan keempat-empat langkah dalam model Polya. Implikasi kajian menunjukkan proses penyelesaian masalah berdasarkan 4 langkah Model Polya dan strategi melukis gambar rajah adalah sesuai dipratikkan dalam pengajaran dan pembelajaran penyelesaian masalah matematik berayat dalam kalangan murid Tahun 3 sekolah rendah.
The purpose of this study was to identify primary school pupils' perceptions toward learning Mathematics in 21 st century education setting. These perceptions are based on four aspects which consist of: i) mathematics as a subject; ii) 21 st century learning activities; iii) 21 st century skills in learning Mathematics which have been known as 4Cs (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking) and iv) pupils' learning performance in Mathematics. The attempt to obtain information or feedback about pupils' perception in learning Mathematics has become very necessary since teachers have to take great effort to understand the pupils' needs and try to fulfil them. Teachers will get ideas what to improve in order to make sure learning mathematics in 21 st century can achieve the best level. 88 samples were involved in this study consist of 30 of 8 years old pupils and 58 of 9 years old pupils and they were selected by applying purposive sampling. A quantitative research design was applied. A questionnaire consist of 20 items was conducted. According to the finding, the high grand mean for each aspect shows that pupils have positive views regarding Mathematics as a subject, highly interested with 21 st century learning activities, admit to be able in mastering 21 st century learning skills and highly agree they have improve in their learning.
