00:01The Education Ministry is formulating a targeted approach through the Mathematics Misconceptions module
00:07and the coordination of teachers' expertise to address weaknesses in students' mastery of the subject.
00:12Deputy Director General of Education, Dr. Rusminiku Ahmad, told Bernama in a program on Wednesday night
00:19that the findings of the 2025 Program for International Student Assessment
00:23identified students' main weakness in the subject as not their ability to answer questions directly,
00:28but their understanding of basic concepts and reasoning skills.
00:33Mereka bagus dalam computational problem solving, di mana mereka boleh membuat coding,
00:39mereka boleh membuat modeling, kerana pentaksiran ini dibuat secara online, Dato.
00:45Tetapi kita ada isu, dia tidak ada korelasi dengan Mathematics.
00:50Jadi murid-murid kita ada isu, ada cabaran dari segi mereka ini tidak boleh menjawab soalan-soalan yang reasoning ataupun
01:00penakkulan.
01:01She said to address misconceptions from the early stages through to secondary school,
01:06the Ministry had developed a specific module and incorporated the Mathematics Education Transformation Plan
01:12into the Malaysia Education Blueprint 2026-2035.
01:17She said the plan also included teacher retraining, strengthening school leadership
01:21and providing advisory services by a group of experts to improve the teaching of mathematics concepts.
01:27On teaching expertise, she said the Ministry is examining school-level data to address option mismatches,
01:34including cases where mathematics teachers were assigned to teach other subjects.
