The purpose of this research was to develop the method
for training student to
manage mathematics camp and to study the result from using the
method to majoring mathematics from Rajabhat University.
The populations were students majoring in mathematics
from Rajabhat Phranakhon University and Rajabhat Universities in the
north, the northeast, the south, and the central part in the
academic year 2003.
The samples were divided into four groups: The first group was 38
first year students majoring in mathematics from Rajabhat Phranakhon
University. The second group was 71 first year, second year, third
year, and fourth year students majoring in mathematics (selected or
voluntary students) from Rajabhat University in the northeast. The
third group was 96 first year, the second year, the third year, and
the fourth year students majoring in mathematics from Rajabhat
University in the north and Rajabhat Nakhonsawan University. The
fourth group was 182 first year, the second year, the third year,
and the fourth year students majoring in mathematics from Rajabhat
University in the south, Rajabhat Karnchanaburi University, Rajabhat
Nakornpathom University, and Rajabhat MooBan Chombeung University.
The research methodology was to study case study, brainstorming,
design, experiment and develop the activities and method of
practice. The assessment was done by using a questionnaire asked
about attitude, knowledge and confidence in managing mathematics
camp and writing project.
Research Findings were as followed :
1.Three ways of training methods were found. The first
one is active training in a real situation. The students were
practiced to be a mentor, an assistant, a camp instructor, a camp
moderator and a camp director, as well as to write a mathematics
camp project. The second is active training in simulation. The
students acted as campers and were practiced to write a mathematics
camp project.The third is active group training in both real
situation and simulation. The students were divided into three
groups and were assigned to be mentors, camp assistant instructors,
and campers. After the training activities a seminar was conducted
to evaluate and discuss the performance as well as to give
additional suggestions. At the end of the training course. The
students were trained to write a mathematics camp project .
2. The result after using the method
2.1The students from every
group realized that mathematics camp was beneficial for campers as
it created good attitude toward mathematics. They had opportunities
to solve various mathematics problems, learn new mathematics
concepts, practice group working skills, generate new ideas, review
basic mathematics concepts, learn examples in applying mathematics
in real life situations, interchange ideas and to be fun with
mathematics.
2.2 The students from every
group realized that they learned how to manage mathematics camp, had
chances to work in group and to practice in practical experience,
and had more confidence to manage a mathematics camp for students.
The students from group one and four learned about children's nature
and how to explain mathematics problems effectively from method one
and three.
2.3 The students from every group
were able to write good mathematics camp projects.
