Elementary arithmetic performance among students in local and transnational pre-university programs
The purpose of the study is to evaluate pre-university students’ performance in elementary arithmetic in one local and four transnational programs at a private college in Malaysia. The D’Amore test is employed to measure the students’ proficiency in the basic mathematical skill. Overall, only 33.4...

| description | The purpose of the study is to evaluate pre-university students’ performance in elementary arithmetic in
one local and four transnational programs at a private college in Malaysia. The D’Amore test is employed
to measure the students’ proficiency in the basic mathematical skill. Overall, only 33.4% of students
answered all questions correctly, which is very similar to levels of elementary mathematics deficiency
found in other parts of the world. In comparing different academic programs, students of the local program
are better than or compatible with those from the transnational programs in elementary arithmetic. |
