Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Problem solving and reading comprehension go hand in hand in solving word problems in Mathematics. The current research was carried out to investigate the effectiveness of using process chart among the grade six students. It helped focused on how each step of the process supported students as they worked to solve the problem.

METHODS

This quantitative research study was used to illustrate the effectiveness of using process chart in solving word problems among 50 pupils of grade six through pretest and posttest. Data were collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire. Statistical treatments were measured through averaging and percentage.

RESULTS

80% of the students who participated in this research proved the effectiveness of the process chart used. In total, 80% of students passed the given posttest. The other 20 % score was found for preparation for another set of tests. Also, a significantly positive effect was observed between the technique used and the result.

DISCUSSIONS

The findings indicated that the used of process chart was effective for 80% of the students who joined this research. However, the remaining 20 % are suggested to be reinforced, with more emphasis on weaker domains.
