| description | Due to a variety of reason, students find it dgfJicult to learn Mathematics. In
addition, teachers' efforts to intervene competently in resolving students'
dficulties are rendered ineffective by numerous factors. This article reports a
survey of 230 primary school regular teachers and 51 Special Educational
Needs Assistance (SENA) teachers who attended a Mathematics remediation
workshop. Five major and broad categories of findings were obtained from
the study. First, participants unanimously endorsed the remediation workshop
as useful. Second, they also strongly agreed that the remediation resource
package was helpful. Third, the study identified some of the challenges
encountered by learners and teachers in remedying Mathematics problems.
Fourth, the workshop generated a number of concrete suggestions on how
future workshops might be improved. Fifth, Chi-Square analyses revealed
statistically significant differences for I0 out of 13 dependent variables. The
study recommends repeating the workshop in all four districts in Brunei
Darussalam to benefit more teachers and students. Finally, the major
implications of the study are also discussed.
