TY - JOUR TT - CONSTRUCTING STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE BY INTEGRATING INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING ACTIVITY TASK AU - Haji Mahanin, Hajah Umisuzimah AU - Shahrill, Masitah AU - Tan, Abby AU - Mahadi, Mar Aswandi PY - 2016 DA - September JF - The Eurasia Proceedings of Educational and Social Sciences JO - EPESS PB - ISRES Publishing WT - DergiPark SN - 2587-1730 SP - 269 EP - 272 VL - 5 KW - Learning activity KW - secondary mathematics KW - interdisciplinary N2 - Thisstudy investigated the use of interdisciplinary learning activity task toconstruct students’ knowledge in Mathematics. A quantitative method using apre-experimental design focusing on one-group pre- and post-test design wasused for this study. The findings were also triangulated with the students’collected reflective journal artefact documents. Each student journal wasanalysed using the identified learning activity stages within the RBC-model,where the R denotes Recognising, B isBuilding with and C means Constructing.The results showed an improvement in the students’ achievement, and they wereable to construct the mathematics knowledge by means of collaboration amonggroup members.  CR - Adolsary, R.
