dc.description.abstractThis study aimed to answer four research questions: (1) What are the characteristics of mathematics lesson valued as effective by the primary school Excellent Teachers? (ii) What are the characteristics of mathematics lesson that are valued as effective by the pupils? (3) What are the similarities or differences between the Excellent Teachers’ and pupils’ perceptions of effective mathematics lesson? and (iv) What are the similarities or differences between characteristics of mathematics lesson valued as effective by the pupils with different academic performance? The research was conducted using a case study design. A total of two Excellent Teachers and twelve pupils participated in the study. Excellent Teachers were selected to participate in this study because they were awarded based on their competency and expertise in teaching and subject matter. They were expected to be effective and able to conduct effective mathematics lesson. The participating pupils were Primary Four or ten years old. Data were collected through lesson observation, photo voice and in-depth interview. Each teacher was observed for three lessons. Participating pupils took photographs of the episodes or materials they perceived as effective during every observed lesson. Immediately after each observed lesson, pupils were interviewed based on photographs taken by them, followed by in-depth interview with the teacher. Analysis of qualitative data indicated that hands-on activity, group activity, ICT, talking board, board work, exercise and keywords were the major characteristics of mathematics lesson valued as effective by teachers. They emphasized on active engagement of pupils, enhancing pupils’ understanding and helping pupils to score in examination.en_US
