Melody of Functions and Graphs: Improving Senior Secondary Mathematics Students' Understanding of the Concept of Function by the Integration of Mathematics and Music
This paper describes a study involving the integration of mathematics and music applied to improve senior secondary students’ understanding of the concept of function. The study has used the framework of the post-positivist paradigm, action research design, multiple research methods, experimental- a...

| description | This paper describes a study involving the integration of mathematics and music applied to improve senior secondary students’ understanding of the concept of function. The study has used the framework of the post-positivist paradigm, action research design, multiple research methods, experimental- and control-groups, pre-test and post-test, and has considered nine author-developed analogies between mathematics and music. The findings suggest that integration of mathematics and music makes a statistically significant difference in students’ understanding of function. |
