| Abstract: | Mathematics as a language is a mixture of concepts and techniques developed to aid precise and logical thinking about the relationship between physical and abstract objects. The learning of Mathematics therefore involves learning of mathematical concepts and leaning of mathematical techniques. Piaget initially warned that efforts to introduce abstract concepts to students without the corresponding experience would not result in conceptual learning but would only lead to memorization. The non-equivalent control group design was used for the study. A traditional approach (control treatment group) and a constructivist approach (the experimental treatment group), were used for the teaching of a mathematics content (Statistics) and the students' critical thinking skills (CTS) of Classifying and Identifying relationships were tested using researcher constructed and validated instrument. The result showed that the mean post-test CTS of Classification for the control treatment group was (mean=28.96; SD =6.34 while the mean post-test CTS for the experimental treatment group was (mean= 73.08; SD =13.50); and the mean post-test CTS of Identifying relationships for the control treatment group was (mean =73.81; SD=12.99). An ANCOVA test of between-subjects effects showed a significant difference for both groups in each skill with (p=0.000) between the mean post-test scores for the control and experimental groups but not for gender. This showed that the Constructivist approach to the learning of Mathematics was effective and results into conceptual learning of Mathematics content and development of CTSs of Classification and Identifying relationships for both males and females. The Constructivist approach to the learning of Mathematics is therefore recommended for the learning of Mathematics to ensure its application in daily life and logical living.) |
